1941 Camden Lions Football

Head Coach: Howell

• Lion’s Club Helps to Restart Football Program •

The school year of 1941-1942 saw the return of football to Central High School. Only two on the boys that tried out for the team had ever seen a game of football before this season. However, some of the boys showed promise of becoming star players, and we are looking forward to a better season next year. The school was very fortunate to have the splendid backing that it received from the people of Camden. These patrons made it possible for the high school to renew football this season by raising money to purchase new equipment. Coach Howell and the players wish to express their deep appreciation to all who contributed to the team and particularly to the Lion’s Club who served as sponsors for the team.
