“Repton Bulldogs jamboree
winners: The Repton High School Bulldogs won a football ‘jamboree’ Friday night
at Conecuh County High School in Castleberry. The jamboree climaxed Spring

“In the first quarter, the
McKenzie High Tigers downed the Blue Devils of Conecuh County High by 6 to 0.
“In the second quarter,
Repton’s little, but aggressive, Bulldogs edged Lyeffion High’s Yellow Jackets
in the night’s most thrilling match, 7-6.
“In the third quarter, Lyeffion
won a battle of the first half’s losers, beating Conecuh High, 14-0.
“Repton edged McKenzie, 14-8,
in a battle between the first half winners to win the jamboree.
“Quarterback Donnie Reed, a
ninth grader, operated Repton’s wishbone in both wins, using audibles with much
success. Fullback Mack Andrews scored on runs of three and one yards. Halfback
Patrick Brown scored the other touchdown from 10 yards out. End Jeff Salter
scored all three extra points.”
From “The Colyum” by Bob
Bozeman – “The Evergreen Golf Club’s annual Spring Invitation Golf Tournament
is underway today with a field of fine golfers competing for the championship.
This writer isn’t in that league, but will be enjoying the fellowship and play
with other duffers in one of the flights.
“These one-day tournaments
that are held each Spring in South Alabama are lots of fun. You meet folks from
all over at them and each year get to renew friendships. The Evergreen
tournament is always one of the best and local golfers make it a point to see that
their visitors have an enjoyable day.
“If you would like to go out
and watch the play, you’ll be welcome. There is no admission charge.”
