REHOBOTH SCAT BACK
A LITTLE PACKAGE OF FIRE
AND VINEGAR
1948
Rehoboth's Roland Lemaire
is one of the smallest backs of lower Delaware High School
football teams but he's big
in the Rehoboth lineup. At 135 pounds on a 5 foot 5 inch frame,
full
of fury is hiked up
over the game with Wicomico High this week.
This kid can take the
bumps, got knocked out at Delamar last week, but shook the cobwebs
off and continued to play
ball. His battered body apparently contains the gristle of a
lions heart.
This is his third year of
football, he also is a varsity basketball guard and an infielder at
baseball. He has plans to
go to Alabama University to study science.
He is a brother of Albert,
Reds as he is better known, a three letter varsity player who
graduated last year and is
now in the Navy. They came to Rehoboth several years ago when their
father, in the Coast Guard,
was transferred from Texas.
