Bears lose
heartbreaker
The Griffin Bears will take
the weekend off and try to
forget about what happened to
them in three of their last four
games.
“It’s very discouraging,”
Coach Frank Hinson said.
“However, we must keep
working hard and try not to

bcome disheartened.”
What Coach Hinson was
referring to was Griffin’s
heartbreading 83-82 loss last
night to Rockdale County,
another of those powerful
basketball teams in 6-AAA.
The loss was Griffin’s third in
6-AAA. The discouraging part is
that the three losses were by a
total of only nine points.
“With and kind of break at all
and we would be leading the
region instead of having three
losses,” Coach Hinson said.
Griffin’s losses include a two
pointer to LaGrange, which is
one of the best triple-A teams in
Georgia, a one-point loss to
Rockdale County, a team that
was rated among the top ten in
Georgia a year ago, and a six
point loss to Forest Park, a
team that is unbeaten.
Griffin was down by 13 points
last night but came back to tie
the score late in the fourth.
Rockdale fought off the
Bears’ fourth quarter rally to
win by a point.
Keith Daniels led Griffin
scorers with 28 points. Chuck
Dunn made 19, John Slaughter
14, Gary McDowell 13, Ken
Crawford four and Richard
Sanders three.
Ken Coggins, one of Griffin’s
starters, missed the game. He is
sidelined with a cut that
required several stitches.
“We missed him,” Coach
Hinson said. “He’s an excellent
defensive player and would
have given us more offense
also,” he said.
The next time Griffin and
Rockdale play will be in the
Omni on Jan. 5. It will be
Griffin’s home game.
The Bears will compete in a
Holiday Tournament beginning
next Wednesday at Jackson.
The parings for the tour
nament will be drawn
tomorrow.

nation in rushing this year.
Blair’s duties have not been
determined yet. For the past
three years Blair has coached

that if Pace remains on the
staff, he will be given other
responsibilities, ” the spokesman
said.
Tech officials confirmed that
Fulcher’s chief assistant Maxie
Baughan, will not be retained.
Smith, 42, is a graduate of

as offensive backfield coach

Forty-Niners in San Francisco.
A victory or tie in the
nationally televised contest
assures the Steelers a playoff
berth in this season’s run for
the Super Bowl’s $25,000 player
jackpot
The club is currently tied
with Cincinnati for the Central
lead. If both win this weekend,
the Bengals will earn the title
because of a better intra
conference record. But at least
the Steelers will be in the
playoffs as a “wild card” team.
Sentiment was strong in San
Francisco for a Forty-Niner
victory, however, because John
I Brodie plays his last game at
quarterback. Brodie passed for
over 30,000 yards in 17 years as

Rupp was hospitalized sud

Rupp, 72, was reported in

Girls win in OT
The Griffin girls stretched
their record to 8-1 last night by
defeating Rockdale County 49-
47 in overtime.
The score was tied 45-45 after
four periods.
Rockdale led Griffin until
then.
“We played a good fourth
quarter and overtime,” Coach
Harvey Oglesby said this
morning. “We didn’t play well
in the first three periods.”
Rockdale led 15-11 after one
quarter, 25-22 at halftime and
35-33 going into the fourth.
“We trailed most of the time
by only two or three points. We
tied the score in the fourth and
sent the game into overtime.”
Coach Oglesby said.
Portia Vaughn led Griffin
