Success to All Who Pay Their Honest Debts — “Be Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead”

i d
1-B Region Lea
Defeating Miller
The Blakely Bobcats are resting atop
of the ladder in Region 1-B West this
week, taking over the leadership by a
decisive victory over the Miller Coun
ty Pirates in Colquitt the past Friday
night by the score of 27-7. i
The team returns to its home field
Friday night against the Pelham Hor
nets. Blakely’'s next four games will
be at Standifer Field. The Hornets are
reported to have an improved team
over-last year, defeating the Cuthbert
Hurricanes the past Friday night 21-13.
The 'Cats lost little time in wreck
ing the Pirates’ perfect region record
Friday night. On the second play from
scrimmage, quarterback Trey Herring
sent Ward Holman on an off-tackle
slant play, completely fooling the Pi
rate defenders, and the little speedster
out ran the Pirates to the goal line.
All this happened in the first half
minute of the ball game. Holman set
up the next TD with a 37-yard punt
return, and Milton White made the
touchdown, on a 1-yard plunge up the
middle.
Milton White recorded TD No. 3
with 4 straight line plays from the
14. Holman aided this drive with &
38-yard gallop. Blakely's fourth and
fina] score came in the second quarter
on a 70-yard punt return by Holman.
Ed Morotn, Jr., kicked 3 out of 4 at
tempted extra points.
Bob Pennington scored on a six-yard
run for Colquitt’s only score, the cul
mination of a 60-yard drive. Joe
Grimsley made the extra point on a
line play.
Defensively, the entire Bobcat squad
turned in a sparkling job, holding the
big Pirate team to only four first
downs in the first half, and the Pi
rates getting one of these on penal
ties. Jimmy Crowdis turned in a top
performance in blocking and tackling.
Crowdis’ block for Holman on his
second TD was one of the game’s high
lights. Other top performers were
Johnny Dixon, Tommy Chandler,
Ronnie Still, Bobby Swann., Butch
Moore, Robert Crowdis, Bill Cox, Her
ring, Bobby Gilben,_ Milton White,
Wayné Swords, and Ed Moiton. =~
