A loss documented in an open-date notice

The evidence for this game comes from Bell High’s search for another opponent. An October 31 Tennessean item, datelined Adams on October 30, lists victories over Guthrie High, Du Pont High and Greenbrier High, along with a loss to Watertown.

That notice confirms Bell’s win over Greenbrier. It gives no score, no site and no exact date for their meeting. The archive can record the loss, but cannot place it precisely among the other October games.

From the surviving record

The November 16 date belongs to a proposed game

Bell wanted to arrange a game with a Middle Tennessee high school on November 16 and preferred to play away, although it would accept a home game. November 16 was the open date Bell was trying to fill, not the date of this Greenbrier game.

The Greenbrier meeting had already happened by the October 30 dateline. Its position as entry four follows the archive’s organization, not a confirmed chronological sequence. Its missing score is excluded from points-for and points-against totals.
