Redmen Win First Game In Five Years "We did it!" "We won!" It's just great!" These were just a few of the sweet taste-of-victory audibles Coach Pat Dooley let go with Friday after his Port Perry Redmen won their season opener here. And who can blame him for the excitement. After five years of guidance from the sidelines his football team finally won a game. The luckless team was the Stouffville Chipmunks. They ended up on the reverse end of the 14 to 6 score.

But there was no doubt from the Port Perry coaching staff who scored their majors. It was fullback CHARLIE NELSON.
