The last wartime season
The four scored entries begin with losses to Adams, Coopertown and Cedar Hill, then turn with a 12–0 win over Adams. That shutout accounts for the only victory in the printed 1–3 heading and half of Greenbrier’s 24 known points.
A second Cedar Hill line, a second Coopertown line and a third Adams line follow without scores or outcomes. Those additional entries remain unresolved while the season arithmetic stays limited to recoverable results.
Joe Henry Carter began his insurance career in 1943 after a long run across Greenbrier athletics. The football coaching file attaches him through this season; the available sources do not support a more precise date or game for his transition.

Identity, championship and wartime change
The 1939–45 chapter links the post-perfect-season run, the student vote that created the Bobcat identity, the 1941 county title and the wartime contraction without forcing missing scores into the story.
