Notes
- According to sources that were used, several scheduled games did not appear to have been been played. I think that the results listed are complete and accurate.
- According to the newspaper article, the preseason game against the combined teams of Middlesboro and Cumberland Gap does not list a game site. I assume that it was played at Harrogate.
