1961 JV record: ?
Tid-bits of info from the 1961 season courtesy of microfilm of the newspapers:
  • In the 0-0 tie against Windsor (who ended up 4-2-1 and a half-game out of a first place tie) Windsor returned the 2nd half kickoff to the Forks 6 inch line. The article did not say who tackled the guy. First and goal Windsor, and the Forks D stuffed them on 3 runs and one pass! (It was the Forks second non-loss to Windsor ever (0-??-1 lifetime prior to the game in a series that had its' first game in 1942)
  • Walton was 6-0 (5-0 in league play) coming into the game against Forks and the Forks (1-4-1 at the time) shocked them 7-0. Walton lost the next week too to finish in a 3 way tie for first at 5-2 with Newark Valley and Whitney Point. The tie against us kept Windsor from being in that pack and a 4 way tie at 5-2. Forks was the spoiler for two teams, Kept Walton from winning the title outright, kept Windsor from a share of it.
