With a sample of cool weather
that is yet to come, Hillcrest High School marched into Troy State stadium to
face Charles Henderson. It was a game where head coach Dennis Anderson hoped
the Jaguars would bounce back from a lackluster performance against T.R.
Miller.
Overall, last Friday’s
contest was a sloppy affair marked with penalties. After Hillcrest penetrated
to the Henderson 25-yard line, a penalty and a sack killed the drive, turning
the ball over. The Trojans then took their turn, marching to the Jaguar 15.
A pair of stops by Blake
Anderson slowed the drive, and a big tackle by Chad Smith on fourth down killed
it, giving the ball back to Hillcrest.
In the second quarter,
Henderson began to take control, grinding out a drive that culminated in a
score with 2:38 remaining in the half. Anderson had a handful of stops in the
drive with Roger and Sylvester Rudolph also making big tackles.
Hillcrest mounted a drive in
the closing minutes of the half on the arm of Don Ray Mixon. Mixon connected
with Ansel Thomas for 25 yards to the 35 and then with Derrick Rudolph to the
48. Ryan Meeks took a pass and ran to the Trojans 35, but a pair of penalties
killed the drive even though Roger Rudolph made a fantastic run to the
Henderson 10 as the half expired.
(Other outstanding Hillcrest
players in that game included Kharlis Crosby, Paul Brock and Carey Pugh, who
scored Hillcrest’s only touchdown on a 45-yard pass from Mixon.)

Aggies rip Greenville; win
area championship: The Evergreen High Aggies did their part by beating
Greenville High’s Tigers 28-0 Friday night in Greenville. The rest of “the
numbers game” that leads to a spot in the playoffs for the State Class 3A
championship then fell in place for EHS as W.S. Neal’s Golden Eagles of East
Brewton trounced Monroe County High 26-0 in Monroeville, putting the Aggies in
the playoffs as champions of Area 2, Region 1.
The Sparta Academy Warriors
romped over the McIntosh Academy Chiefs here Friday night, 46-8, in their final
home game at Stuart-McGehee Field this season.
Ronny McKenzie added to his
school-record figures as he ran for 152 yards and two touchdowns on just 16
carries and caught a 41-yard pass from Terry Peacock for another score.
The tackle chart was led by
Russ Raines who had five solo tackles and one assist.
(Other outstanding Sparta
players in that game included Scott Baggett, Robert Bozeman, Wes Brown, Ed
Carrier, Ira Cook, Greg Crabtree, Andy Hammonds, Jeff Johnson, Bobby Mason, Joe
McInvale, Mike Mixon, Cook Morrison, Darwin Nix, Richard Nix and Lee Talbot.)
Repton High School’s Bulldogs
took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, but couldn’t hold off Frisco City High’s
Whippets in their battle for the Region 1, Area 2, Class A title in a game
played Friday night in Frisco City. Frisco City won, 28-7.
(Repton’s only touchdown came
on a 56-yard run by Robbie Harris, and Trey Wilson added the extra point.)

The unbeaten T.R. Miller
Tigers celebrated homecoming by rolling past the Evergreen Aggies, 34-13, in
Brewton Friday night.
Coach John Robinson’s Aggies
went to play and battled the Tigers all the way, scoring in the final seconds,
but were never able to handle Miller’s blazing speed.
In defeat, the defensive work
of Alvin Dees, who made tackles all over the field, was outstanding. Paul
Deason had another big night and was as fine a runner as any on the field.
Kenny Harper was another whose number was seen in on many, many plays.
Alvin Dees was named player
of the week for the T.R. Miller game by the Evergreen Jaycees. It was the
second time he had won the honor, earlier being chosen in the Greenville game.
He is a contender for the Jaycee player of the year award.
Dees, senior tackle and linebacker,
has been outstanding in the Aggie line all year. A sharp blocker, he excels on
defense and is usually in on most of the tackles. He was named to the
Birmingham Post-Herald’s All State Team last year.
Mr. and Mrs. V.P. Smith, Miss
Elizabeth Turk and Palmer Smith spent the weekend with Miss Mamie Smith and
Mrs. Mildred Moore in Birmingham and attended the Alabama-LSU football game.

The Repton Bulldogs ran
rough-shod over an inexperienced Beatrice High Eagle eleven Friday afternoon at
the Repton field to win their third victory of the season, 39-0.
Marvin Rowland’s running was
outstanding for the Bulldogs. He and Ralph Lancaster teamed to give Repton an
effective one-two scoring punch. Don Ivey and Joe Kelly did a fine job of
clearing a path for the runners as they threw the key blocks on nearly every
scoring play.
Evergreen High School’s
undefeated Aggies mauled Millry High’s fighting Wildcats, 40-0, here Friday
night for their sixth win of the season. Two ties, Andalusia (0-0) and
Greenville (6-6), are the only blots on the Evergreen record. The hard charging
Evergreen line starred as they turned in one of their most impressive
performances of the season limiting the Wildcats to 69 yards from scrimmage in
26 attempts.
Bertie Hassel returned
Millry’s game opening kickoff 17 yards to the Evergreen 32 and with spectators
still coming into the stands John Greel Ralls went 68 yards for a touchdown on
the first play from scrimmage. Evergreen’s outstanding all-state candidate faked
a handoff to Ed Hooks and went through a gaping hole at right guard, tore
himself from the arms of a Millry tackler, eluded another, cut sharply over to
the left sideline, turned on the speed and raced into the end zone standing up.
(Other outstanding Evergreen
players in that game included Dickey Bozeman, Shelton Craig, Capt. Jack
Cunningham, Bruce Johnson, Jeff Moorer, Gillis “Little Red” Morgan, Max Pope
and Douglas Potts. Wendell Hart was Evergreen’s head coach.)

Messrs. W.P. McMillan and

Duke-Auburn football game in Birmingham Saturday.
Season Is Now Open On Deer
and Squirrel: The open season on deer and squirrel began in Conecuh County Nov.
1 and hunters thronged the woods during the past week in search of these
animals.
The deer season will continue
for two months or until Dec. 31. The supply of deer in this county, and in the
state as a whole as well, has greatly increased during the last several years
following passage and prohibiting the shooting of does.
A large number of deer now
range in and around the Johnstonville and Cedar Creek communities in the
southern part of the county and about 200 hunters were in that section on the
first day. Six bucks were killed.
The squirrel season, which
began on the same day, will continue for three months or until Jan. 31. The
bird season will open on Nov. 20. Quail may be shot until Feb. 20 and dove
until Jan. 31. Hunters may seek turkey gobblers in the month of December and
between March 1 and April 10.
