Hillcrest to face Jackson
Friday night: BREWTON - You could say that Friday night’s Hillcrest-T.R. Miller
game was special. In fact, you could say that it was triple special.
T.R. Miller won the game,
43-25, during its annual homecoming game here at Brewton Municipal Stadium, but
the Jags kept the Tigers on their toes thanks to three touchdowns on three
separate special teams plays.
The Jags scored on an 85-yard
kickoff return by Malcolm Rudolph, a 24-yard punt return by Aaron Dees and a
67-yard run on a fake punt by William Ferguson.
(Other Hillcrest standouts in
that game included Dexter Chapman, John Dees, William Ferguson, Malcolm
Jackson, Antonio Jordan, Justin Nared, Quienton Nettles, Jimmy Peters and Neil
Presley.)
Sparta seeking win over rival
Monroe: You could argue that Friday night’s Sparta-Southern game was a pretty
close case of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.
Sparta Academy entered
Friday’s home game against Southern Academy with the No. 2-ranked team defense
in the AISA, while Southern entered the game with the AISA’s No. 1-ranked
offense and defense.
Sparta lost the game, 47-0,
but managed to hold Southern to less than 50 points, a rare feat for most of
Southern’s opponents this season. Just ask Jackson Academy, who suffered an
84-0 defeat against Southern on Oct. 12.
(Top Sparta players in the
Southern game included Cody Baggett, Dalton Baggett, Mason Black, Taylor Brown,
Chris Cinereski, Dylan Davis, Damon Godwin, Hunter Hutcheson, John McDonald,
Drayton Rodgers, Neil Salter, Steven Stuart, Perry Thompson, Peyton Thompson, Myles
Wiggins and J.R. Williams.)

Conecuh High Wins Again Over
Brooklyn: Castleberry, Ala., Oct. 20 – Meeting Brooklyn for the second time
this year, Conecuh High School won again Friday, 38-0.
Carter was the principal
figure in the first four touchdowns. He threw passes to Weaver and Barfield for
two of them, carried one over himself and placed the ball within striking
distance of the goal line for the fourth touchdown with a 15-yard run.
Jay Quimby pulled the most
spectacular play of the day. He caught a Brooklyn punt on his own 35-yard line
and, after picking his way through a group of Brooklyn players, raced the remaining
65 yards for a touchdown. The line plunging of Wilson Walters featured the
Brooklyn attack. The visitors showed the effect of the absence of Graham Jones,
their star back, who was on the sidelines with an injured knee.
The line-ups: Brooklyn – C.
Finlay, left end; Pate, left tackle; Blair, left guard; B. Finlay, center; M.
Finlay, right guard; McCreary, right tackle; Aycock, right end; W. Walters,
quarterback; Uptografft, left halfback; R. King, right halfback; Robinson,
fullback; sub, S. Walters.
Castleberry – Barfield, left
end; Barlow, left tackle; Phillips, left guard; Nealy, center; Smith, right
guard; Oliver, right tackle; Stapleton, right end; Carter, quarterback; G.
King, right halfback; J.C. Quimby, left halfback; Weaver, fullback; subs, W.
Quimby, Brewton, G. Ellis, Finlay, P. Ellis, Suddith, N. Walters, Boling.
