1955 · PERFECT SEASON

Ten-and-Oh

One one-point escape, nine opponents held to seven or fewer, and a championship rematch to finish it.

The whole line

10–0 · 231–51

Greenbrier averaged 23.1 points and allowed 5.1. The plus-180 margin remains the plainest measurement of the team’s control, but the defensive distribution says even more: nine opponents scored seven or fewer, three did not score, and nobody reached 14.

The narrow door

Jo Byrns, 14–13

The third listed game was the season’s only one-score finish. Greenbrier survived Jo Byrns by one, then won the remaining entries by double digits. That makes 14–13 the hinge score in an otherwise wide-margin perfect season.

The closing five

140 points for, 19 against

White Bluff, White House, Ashland City, East Robertson and Ashland City again formed the final five. Greenbrier scored at least 19 in each, shut out two and allowed only 19 points across the entire run.

The two Ashland City wins totaled 44–12. The second, 25–6, is the score-list entry marked “LCVC Playoff Game.” The page preserves the adjacent title exactly: Lower Cumberland Valley Conference Champions.

A second check

The totals reconcile outside the school file

The Alabama High School Football Historical Society’s Tennessee coaching index independently lists Harold Fletcher’s 1955 Greenbrier team at 10–0 with 231 points scored and 51 allowed. The school score list remains the source for the game-by-game finals and LCVC wording.
