Junior Michael Pate then took off on a 62-yard romp to add six more points. The kick failed. Lyle Bell later took the ball in from four yards out for the Warriors third touchdown of the night. The run for two was no good. Worrell scored again on a one-yard run with Bell adding the two-point conversion.

Aggies play Tigers in Monroeville Friday night: Coach Wendell Hart’s Evergreen High Aggies will be going after their second win of the season when they meet the Monroe County High School Tigers in Vanity Fair Park Stadium in Monroeville tomorrow night. Kickoff between the ancient rivals will be at 7:30.
Coach Wayland Elliott’s Tigers are also unbeaten and have notched two victories in the young season. In addition to the normally keen rivalry between the teams, the Tigers also have a revenge motive to spur them on. The Aggies have held the upper hand in the past two meetings between the teams.

Band is working to go to Dora: Anxious to make the trip and support the Aggies when they play Dora High School in Dora (Walker County) on Friday night, Oct. 9, members of the Evergreen High School Band are working to raise the funds for the trip.
Saturday band members will hold a bake sale on West Front Street from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon. That afternoon contributions will be solicited at downtown roadblocks from one to five o’clock.
Local fans are asked to support their band by participating in these events so that the road trip of over 200 miles may be made.

Lenox will stage rodeo, horse show Saturday evening: Spills, thrills and handsome horses will be featured in the big rodeo and horse show at the Lenox Arena this Saturday. The 20-event program gets underway at 5 p.m. Barbecue pork and chicken will be served starting at six o’clock.
