UNITED WAY
Jackson Races
Past Gordon
By 12-7 Score
The Jackson Red Devils staged
another of their patented fourth
quarter come-backs to edge Gor
don 12-7 Friday night in Barnes
ville for their third consecutive
victory after losing four straight.
The Devils and Gladys, the
hurricane, arrived almost simul
taneously in Barnesville with the
game being played on a damp,
sodden field with the actual rain
abating until the last minute of
the game when a downpour be
gan to fall. As customary, fum
bles and penalties played an im
portant part in the game with
Lady Luck again smiling some
what wanly on the Devils.
Jackson marched to an early
first quarter score on a 5-yard
run by Lee Fambro. But, as has
so often happened in the past,
Jackson saw their 6-0 lead melt
ing away before halftime as the
Bulldogs scored on a 27-yard pass
from Walter Leach to Warren
Hubbard. Danny Goddard’s PAT
gave the hosts a 7-6 lead at in
termission.
The Devils stormed back and
moved down the field almost at
will on the running of Fambro,
Tim Hardy, Bruce Hicks, Tommy
Glidewell and Clayton Emory but
were unable to put across the
clincher until midway the fourth
quarter when Tim Hardy skirted
end on a beautifully executed
keeper for the winning tally.
Tommy Turner’s conversion at
tempt was wide.
Lee Fambro was again Jack
son’s siege gun, carrying 28 times
for 138 yards, scoring the first
touchdown, intercepting a pass
late in the game that preserved
the Devil’s victory, and on one
occasion saving a certain touch
town by a clean open field tackle.
But, despite Fambro’s brilliance,
Coach Loy Hutcheson was quick
to assess the winning effort as a
“team victory.” He praised the
come-back ability of his charges,
the victory being especially sweet
since it was accomplished on a
foreign field under such adverse
weather conditions.
Now 3-4-0 for the season,
Jackson journeys to Manchester
Friday night to face the Blue
Devils who will be out for re
venge after being handed a 16-0
set-back at the hands of Hogans
ville Friday night. Jackson closes
out the season at home against
Hogansville and Mary Persons on
consecutive Friday nights.
