The 1923 Gainesville High School football team, in the school’s first undefeated season, had scored 306 points to its opponents’ 19, shutting out seven of those teams. Fans didn’t know what the 1924 team would be like because few starters were returning, only veteran linemen Lawton Wofford and Coach Payne and backfield stars Tom Paris and Bennie Rothstein. They certainly never imagined a three-year winning streak that would extend through the fall of 1925.
