Ending on a High Note

Because of the small enrollment at Pompano High School, the school played six-man football up through 1941. The following two seasons, football was suspended due to wartime restrictions on transportation and the number of male students who had left school for military service.

The Beanpicker's 1941 team was a powerhouse. It opened its season in an unusual manner -- playing back-to-back games on the road. On October 9th Pompano defeated Jupiter 66-27, and the following day traveled to Everglades City and beat the local team 40-0.

The Pompano gridiron team was undefeated that season and averaged over 43 points per game.
