The Tournament
Teams: 16
How determined:

Champion: Roopville
School Title: 1st
Final Record: 34-0
Coach: Gladys Caswell
Notes: Roopville not only swept Class C (their boys also won the title), the trophy-winning coaches shared the same home address. Gladys Caswell and her husband, Render (R.R.), each coached a squad. This was also the last year for Roopville as a high school. The consolidated effort of Central of Carrollton opened its doors a few months later.
