This is Coach Ellwood Madden’s third season at Emmetsburg. Coming here to find. a team lacking in experience he has lost only five games and. has developed seven boys who ranked on one of the All-State teams. Last year his boys went through the season undefeated and with only six points chalked up against them. Emmetsburg's record; this year shows two victories over. Sheldon and Algona and two defeats lost by narrow margins toLake Mills and Spirit Lake.Facts on the Black RaidersNinety-five of the 840 enrolled in East Senior High are out for football.
