The Ferguson War Horses tip off the 1960-61 season against Russell County. Ferguson won this game 61-49. That’s Bobby Nicholas (42) in white getting the tip for Ferguson, flanked by Jimmy Young, to the left, and Donnie Cowan, to the right. This young team would lose six games before Christmas but then lose only once the rest of the way. They finished the regular season 16-6, then won three games en route to the district championship, upsetting Somerset in the finals. They would add two more wins before being upset by Stanford in the 12th Region, to end 21-7.
