Lose 7–0, answer 34–0

White House handed Greenbrier its first loss, then met the Bobcats again for the conference championship at Springfield. The 34–0 reversal gave Greenbrier the title and one of the sharpest same-season turnarounds in the record.

1965

Eight straight, then a bowl

The next team opened 8–0 and 228–39, finished the regular season 9–1 and reached the Dickson Athletic Bowl. Six of the nine wins were shutouts.

Player-level history

Parker, Pitt, Cannady and Edwards

Hall profiles connect four players to the corridor. Kim Parker’s nearly 2,200 rushing yards and 159 points span the title years; William Pitt’s story leads to the Carroll–Pitt Trophy; Phillip Edwards is remembered as a defensive star and fullback; Tommy Cannady’s Hall wording preserves a 9–1 captain claim that requires careful source labeling.
