SEVEN YEARS AGO
SEPT. 27, 2012
The Castleberry Parks and Recreation Department recently
received a $1,000 donation from the Wal-Mart Foundation of Bentonville, Ark.
The grant funds will be used to renovate the baseball field in Castleberry and
to have a new fence installed around the field, officials said. Pictured with
the grant check are Castleberry Parks and Recreation board members Kenny
Johnson, Millie Salter, Jo Wiley and Karl Kast.
Sparta Academy’s varsity football team claimed its first win
of the 2012 season Friday night in LaFayette when they blew out Chambers
Academy, 48-6.
Friday night’s win was sparked by a pair of seniors who
accounted for two touchdowns each and led the charge on offense. Senior running
back Chance House carried the ball 11 times for 239 yards and two touchdowns.
Senior running back Jacob Hendrix ran the ball 12 times for 43 yards and also
scored twice.
House scored on runs of three and 36 yards and booted four
extra points.
Hendrix’s first touchdown came on a 25-yard fumble return
for a score, and he later crossed the goal-line on a five-yard run. He tacked
on an extra point after House’s first score.
(Other top Sparta players in that game included Jacob Burch,
Brooks Carpenter, Cody Carter, Tristan Crutchfield, Tyler Hanks, Drew Hardin,
Austin Hiers Johnson, Chase Kaylor, Jacob Lee, Zach Moon, Nathan Pipkin, Stone
Riley, Lanse Robbins, Jessie Stabler and Allen Stuart.)

The Evergreen Aggies lost their second game in a row last
Friday night by the score of 9-6 to the Monroeville Tigers.
Evergreen got on the scoreboard first when Tim Stallworth
picked up a fumble and returned it 94 yards for a touchdown. The PAT was
blocked by Monroeville and the Aggies led 6-0 with 6:41 left in the first half.

Pulling and pulling hard for the Evergreen Aggies when they
go against Monroeville there tomorrow night will be these cheerleaders: Barbara
Stinson, head cheerleader, Brenda Ellis, Sandra Brooks, Elaine Kindig, Becky
McKenzie and Vreeland Hinson. Becky is a new member of the yell-leading ranks.
Led by All-State quarterback Harrison McCraw, the powerful
Andalusia Bulldogs swept to an easy 34-0 victory over the visiting Evergreen
Aggies Friday night.
The closest the visitors came to scoring came in the second
quarter when Jimmy Warren went 66 yards on a kickoff return before a Bulldog
speedster hauled him down from behind on the Andy 15. The Aggies gave the ball
up on a fumble three plays later.
Jackets Blast Beatrice 39 To 0: The Lyeffion Yellow Jackets
successfully opened the 1962 football season by downing Beatrice by a score of
39-0.
The game was strictly a team effort with every boy on the
squad playing outstanding football. Lee and Larry Hardee were responsible for
several outstanding plays because of their blocking. Elmer Gaskey, Keith
Holcombe, Don Jones, Larry Hardee, Lee Hardee, Allen Cook, Don Garrett, Patton
Brown and Charles Salter and John Grimes limited Beatrice to minus yards
gained.
(Other top players for Lyeffion in that game included Ronnie
Golson and Early Wilson, Harold Wilson.)

Ileana Stallworth and Pat Everage have been elected
cheerleaders by the students of E.H.S. to fill the places left vacant by two of
last year’s cheerleaders who graduated.
Evergreen High School is proud of its two new cheerleaders
and feels confident that they will do their part in cheering E.H.S. on to
victory.
The Aggies will play tomorrow (Friday) night in a stadium
that ranks with the best in the state when they go upon the turf of the
Municipal Stadium in Andalusia. The city of Andalusia completed the stadium
last spring at a cost of $150,000. No need in telling you that $150,000 is a
lot of coin, but from all reports the money was well spent. The stadium has
concrete seats for several thousand. Temporary bleachers on the visitor’s side
of the field will seat several hundred more. Included in the layout, without
conflict, are a baseball field, track and football field. The field is lighted
by the newest type system with the light posts back on the stands giving
spectators a clear view of the field. The lighting system is equaled in few of
the state’s larger stadia. A number of local fans took advantage of last
Friday’s open date on the Aggie schedule and went over for a look at the
Andalusia team and at the new stadium. All of them came back raving about the
stadium.

Evergreen Downs Repton 30

backs, the Evergreen Aggies opened the current season with a 30 to 0 win over
their county rivals, Repton. A crowd of 1,046 was on hand to see the curtain
raiser.

Evergreen defeated Atmore 2 to 0 on the latter’s home field
Sunday afternoon to take the abbreviated championship series by two games to
none. The agreement, when the series was scheduled, was to decide the championship
between the two teams in a three-game series.
Skin Hyde was in excellent form in the second game, striking
out 10 Atmore hitters and allowing three scattered singles during the
nine-inning game.
The locals had previously defeated Chapman, four games to
one, to win the championship of the Central Alabama League.
