Photograph caption dated November 28, 1957 partially reads "Northridge Military Academy had a good season in football, good enough, in fact, to win eight straight games while scoring 200 points to 20 for the opposition. Coached by Claude Kirkpatrick, the cadets completed their season known and feared by teams in the same classification. Pictured here, from left, are: Front row--Ron Hooker, Doug Cowel, Boyd Young, Steve Rahmn, Wayne Zimmerman, John Blankenship and Roland Lyons; rear row--Coach Kirkpatrick, J. Lott, Rex Lott, Dick Wirsing and Tom Pierson. Below is the sparkplug of the team, the backfielding star Dick Wirsing who was responsible for 21 touchdowns in the 200 point total."
