Caddo Cubs Enter Red River Valley

Coach Dendy announces that next season the Caddo High School football team will be members of the Red River Valley Football Association, composed of those towns in Southern Oklahoma, including Durant, Ardmore, Hugo, and Ringling.

He states that there is some very promising material in the team for next year, and the thinks the team will give a better account of themselves.

Here’ hoping for their success. Let us encourage the boys to try for the championship. They can win it if given sufficient encouragement.
