Away back in 1924, Vernonia High School didn’t have a football team. This year the Loggers start ed off with a new way of playing football - the T-formation. With some of the boys still working on the farms and other jobs, they started practicing and after a short time had their first game with Sabin High of Portland. The Loggers won with a score of 38 to 12. Still working hard, the team challenged Forest Grove and on an excellent football even ing, defeated them 25 to 7. After this, the Loggers took after the county football trophy. Starting with St. Helens, whom they had defeated three times before and tied once, the Log gers rubbed out the Lions, 38 to 0. With these games past and still one of the undefeated teams of the state, the Loggers downed the Seaside Seagulls, 26 to 0. Hoping for an undefeated season, the Loggers planned to stay in shape and continue as other well-known teams have done. They scheduled a game with Dayton and walked over them 45 to 13 with the second and third teams playing most of the game. Next the Loggers entered the county again and played the game that won the cham pionship for them as they squeezed by Scappoose, 7 to 6. Hill Military was the next ob jective and with a crippled team, the Loggers entered the army post to defeat the cadets, 25 to 6. With seven wins and no losses, the Loggers were being recognized as a candidate for the state championship. With these hopes, they met and de feated McMinnville, 32 to 0. This brought Vernonia into the district play-off.
