Lakota football looks strong under coach Bailey at PBA meeting
Lakota head football coach Marty Baumhower told Pisgah Businessmen's Association members that the team can win games this season with returning staff, new facilities, and a large pool of running backs led by Chip Keith. He noted gaps at center after graduation and two players moving away, and introduced new assistants Tim Lichtenberg and Stu Eversole with plans for three preseason scrimmages and a demanding schedule including Columbus Eastmore and Hamilton Taft. Regular practice starts August 15 with light drills, then full workouts, and the team aims to rebound after a tough 1971 season.
