“Aggies edge Miller in upset of season: The T.R. Miller High Tigers of Brewton were undefeated and ranked the No. 1 Class 3A team in the state when they invaded Brooks Stadium here Friday night. They left victims of a startling upset at the hands of the Evergreen High Aggies, the first win for EHS over Miller since 1960.
“The Aggies overcame a 14-0 halftime deficit as Michael Adams scored on a couple of one-yard runs and added two-point conversions after each to give Evergreen a 16-14 victory and the upset of the season in South Alabama.”
“The Conecuh County Blue Devils just could not stay with the team that is expected to be the area champions. CCHS put up a great defensive battle in the first quarter holding the Frisco City Whippets to just seven points.
“The Blue Devils got on the board in the fourth quarter with senior running back Jamey Weaver scoring. Bill Downing led the rushing attack with 157 yards.
“’I was well pleased with our defensive game,’ said Coach Doug Williamson. ‘We had a great team effort on defense.’”
“The South Montgomery Academy Raiders routed Sparta Academy, 56-6, Friday night at Grady to run their record for the season to 7-1.
“Sparta got its lone touchdown in the final quarter on a two-yard run by Jeff Johnson who led the offense with 29 yards on five carries and completed one of six pass attempts for 15 yards, Robert Johnson making the catch.”
Other standout Sparta players in that game included Ed Carrier, Andy Hammonds, Ronny McKenzie and Terry Peacock.

“The Repton High Bulldogs suffered their first loss of the season last Friday night in McKenzie, losing to the McKenzie Tigers, 13 to 6.
“Halfback Robert Lowery accounted for Repton’s only score on a 19-yard pass from Glen Baggett in the second period.”
“MISS FOOTBALL: Miss Becky McKenzie will reign over homecoming at Evergreen High tomorrow having been chosen ‘Miss Football.’ Becky is a senior and captain of the Aggie cheerleaders.”
“Two evenly matched teams battled to a standoff here in Brooks Stadium Friday night as the Evergreen Aggies and the Frisco City Whippets put on a show of defensive strength. The score was the same at the finish as it was at the start, 0 to 0.”
“Mike Fields has been named Player of the Week by the Evergreen Jaycees for the Frisco City game. The first voting ended in a three-way tie and in the runoff the honor went to Mike thus making him eligible for the Player of the Year award at the end of the season.
“Fields is a senior end who has turned in consistent play for the Aggies all year. He has excelled on defense which he did again in the scoreless tie with the Whippets.”
