Jackson-Manchester Mudfest Ends 0-0
By Frank Hearn
Manchester’s Blue Devils
and the local Red variety
sloshed around a rainsoaked
football field “over thar”
Friday night. They really
proved nothing except that
ties are frustrating. It was
Jackson’s first region game
and the scoreless duel did
little to help the local
gridders get to the playoffs.
The rain had almost
dispersed prior to Wally
Cawthon’s opening kickoff
into the end zone. The Blue
Brand of Satans moved it out
to the 29, then punted away to
the Reds at their own 30. At
this point one got the feeling
he had seen this act last
week. On the first play an
illegal procedure assessment
against Jackson set the stage
for the next play...a fumble
at their own 40. Although
with good field position,
Manchester could gain but 9
yards; gambled and lost on a
fourth and one attempt at the
Red’s 34. Jackson moved
quickly for a first down at the
45. Terry Shivers picked up 5
yards, Bill Fears recovered
his own bobble, then Shivers
got the first down. The Red
Machine sputtered on the
next three plays and Tommy
Sims punted inside the Blue
Devil 20, but the Reds were
called for holding so Sims
had to kick from 15 yards
deeper. A 32 yard punt with
no roll put Manchester in
business at their own 33 yard
line.
Jackson’s defensive pur
suit and pass coverage was
good so Young was forced to
punt after three plays. Lester
Jenkins was caught roughing
the kicker as the Red Devils
had the rush on. This gave
Manchester a first down at
the Red’s 48. However three
plays later Jenkins made
amends when he stripped
Manchester’s QB Clark of the
ball and fell on it at the 48.
The Jackson offense sputter
ed again and Sims punted 32
yards as the first wet quarter
ended.
Manchester began a drive
Henderson Jr. High
Tigers Defeat
Stockbridge 18-12
Henderson Junior High
School’s Tigers are now 1-2
on the 1976 season, following
their defeat of Stockbridge
Thursday night by a score of
18 to 12. Previously, the
Tigers had lost to Fayette
County, 29-6 and to Henry
County 6-0.
In Thursday night’s
squeaker, Stockbridge scor
ed first on a pass play
covering 30 yards. Donald
Stodghill evened the score on
the following kick-off, return
ing it 60 yards for a
touchdown to tie the score at
6-all.
The Tigers broke the tie in
the second quarter with a
scoring drive of 45 yards,
with Eugene Noble scoring
on a four yard plunge, with
the point after again being
missed, giving the Tigers a
12-6 lead at halftime.
Again showing their ability
to score a quick touchdown,
the Tigers’ Eugene Noble
took the third-quarter kickoff
65 yards for the TD. the PAT
was missed once more.
Penalities hurt the Tigers
the rest of the game, wiping
out valuable yardage as well
as a 60-yard TD run.
After the game Saturday
with Fayette County, the
Tigers next home game will
be on Saturday, October
23rd.
Coach Charles Bryant says
the Tigers have shown steady
improvement all year, with
Eugene Noble outstanding on
that was to carry from their
12 yard line to the 25 of
Jackson before a fumble
ended it. The Blue Devils had
to gamble on a fourth and one
at mid field to keep the drive
alive. Bill Woods of Jackson
recovered the loose ball at
the 25, but again the Devils
Red could not move the
football. Sims punted to the
Manchester 44, giving the
Devils Blue excellent field
position. The Jackson de
fense and an illegal proce
dure call forced Manchester
to punt it back. The ball
rolled out inside the visitor’s
20 yard line.
Jackson got one first down
as Ward raced 14 yards to the
42 on a third and two call the
28. However Jackson’s best
offensive play of the half was
quickly forgotten when the
halfback pass from Ward to
Robison was intercepted by
Blue Devil baggers with a
minute left. A personal foul
penalty against Jackson,
followed by a 21 yard pass
completion to the seven put
the Blue Devils in scoring
position at the six yard line of
Jackson with 28 seconds left
in the half. Jakson’s defen
sive unit, who played well all
night, held the Blue Devils at
the five. A fourth down field
goal was wide left. At
intermission it’s “nuthin
nuthin”; and getting chilly.
The second half started
with the precipitation chang
ing from a soft mist to a
driving rain. The two Devil
football teams resembled
two bull gators sloshing
around in muddy mortal
combat. Jackson began
again having trouble holding
the slippery football and it
put them in double jeopardy
when Sims had to kick inside
his ten. The kicking game
was below par this night and
it led to the scoreless duel.
The Blue Devils had excel
lent field position on four
different occasions during all
the third and half of the
fourth quarter. Manchester
began drives at Jackson’s 46,
45, 49, 38, and 35 yard lines.
To the credit of Jackson’s
both offense and defense,
Greg Cook and Todd Jones on
defense and Mike Richard
son on offense.
In addition to the three
coaches, the Tigers receive
valuable support from
Robert Mays as trainer and
from a cheerleader corps of
Linda Stodghill, Esther
O’Dell, Winky Jones, Rhonda
Williams, Lisa Kersey,
Tracy Williams, Theresa
Patterson, Leigh Kitchens,
Brenda Jones and Barbara
Jester.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1974
defensive unit led by Jenkins,
Esca Pace, Robert Ander
son, Wally Cawthon, Bennon
Prine, and Robison, Man
chester could get no closer
than the Red Devil 25.
Jackson’s offense, which
had spun its wheels most of
the miserable evening, had a
flash of brillance late in the
fourth period. From their 22
yard line, Fears threw to
Brown at the 28; then Ward
raced 33 yards to the
Manchester 40. Fears tossed
to Robison for eight; then
Ward got a first down to the
30 with 1:19 left. Close to field
goal range for Brown at this
point, but a 15 yard penalty
for holding set the Reds back
to the 44 and from here it was
all over, just like she
star ted.... “Oh and Oh”.
The tie sets the stage for
Lamar County to come over
here to our little “Chicken
que and Clambake” tomor
row night on the Hill.
Standing room is still
available on the field house
and some boards are still
strong enough to hold a few
skinny fans on the home field
bleachers. Come early, eat
chicken, and see high school
football at its best.
