‘Cat Take Pelhom
40-7; Cuthbert
Here Friday Night
The Blakely Bobcats play host to
the up-and-coming Purple Hurricans
from Cuthbert here Friday night. The
Cuthbert team is showing improve
ment each week and now boasts a
record of 3 wins, 2 losses and a tie.
Indications are that the Purple Hur
ricanes will be one of the toughest
foes the 'Cats have faced all season.
The Blakely Bobecats won their
sixth straight victory the past Fri
day night, over-powering the Pelham
Hornets 40-7.
Bill George chalked up the first six
points for the Bobcats on the fifth
play of the second quarter, plunging
over from the 3. Morton booted the
extra point. Quarterback Trey Herring
made the big play on this TD drive,
faking to a halfback and going 33
yards to the 17 for a Ist down. |
Herring took to the air to set up
Blakely's second score, throwing to
Holman for 23 vards and to Ed Morton
for 15. Milton White, who played a
bang-up defensive game, also scored
from the 2. Again Morton split the
uprights for the extra point.
Holman danced over from the 3 for
Blakely’'s third score, culminating a
69-yard touchdown drive, most of the
yardage being consumed by Herring's
two passes to Ed Morton,. Jr., who
gave as fine an exhibition of foot
ball snaring as any fan will want to
see, and then kicked his 3rd straight
extra point.
Blakely's speedster, Ward Holman,
chalked up two fast TD's for Blakely
in the third quarter, one on a 75 yard
punt return and another on a 54 yard
end sweep. This was Holman's 14
touchdown of the year. Morton booted
the extra point after one TD, but
missed on the second, the ball going
far enough and high enough, but just
a shade wide.
Blakely reserves, with Bill George
at the throttle. made Blakely's final
-score. Butch Moore plunged over from
the two, where the ball had been plac
ed on runs by Bobby Gilbert, Bill
George and Andy White. Morton’s try
for the -extra point was blocked, Ron
nie Palmer made Pelham’s lone score
and Mike Kelly ran the extra point,
with only 7 seconds showing on the
clock.
