Jackets jet by Coffeeville
39-0: Lyeffion High’s streaking Yellow Jackets raced past Coffeeville High 39
to 0 Friday night to completely spoil the Clarke County school’s homecoming.
Quarterback Homer Chaver
found the end zone four times to pace the Jacket scoring.
Don Jones took long distance
honors with a terrific 88-yard ramble from scrimmage to TD-land. Stanley Wilson
bulled and ran 75 yards to set up a score. Laymon Booker moved the ball 40
yards to set up another which Ronnie Booker took in. Bo O’Gwyn racked up
several runs of 35 and 40 yards although he didn’t get in on the scoring.
As for Coffeeville, they
found the swarming Jacket defense much, much more than they could cope with.
The entire squad played well on defense and if named, just say that Harold
Brown, Don Jones, Bo O’Gwyn, Don Salter and Jerry New looked mighty, mighty
good.
Red Level hands Aggies
seventh loss: Jimmy Davis and Johnny Sellers combined for Red Level to hand
Evergreen its seventh straight loss of the season, with a 19-6 score.
Bubba Faulkner, Aggie safety
and signal caller, picked off a Red Level pass to put Evergreen in business on
their own 47-yard stripe. Faulkner tossed to John Brown, Evergreen’s speed
merchant to set up a score. On fourth and one for a first down and three for
TD, Faulkner flipped a jump pass to Jack White for the touchdown. A bad snap
from center foiled the extra point attempt.
Bubba Faulkner has been selected by the Evergreen Jaycees as the Most Outstanding Player in the Evergreen-Frisco City football game. Faulkner, a junior back, has shown steady improvement during the season, and came into his own in the Frisco City game.

I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
