Rams-Russell Game Friday
Will Decide 4AA West Champ
BY 808 GREER
News Sports Editor
The day of reckoning is at hand. In fact, Friday, the 13th is the day
the Newton County Rams will either win or lose their right to a play
off spot in the finals of Region 4AA. NCHS will host the Russell High
team here Friday night in the season’s final tilt.
At present, the Rams and Cham
blee are tied for the lead of Re
gion 4AA West and the winner of
the sub-region now reverts to the
team’s overall record against all
AA teams in the regular season.
If the Rams win Friday night the
local record will be 6-1, while the
Chamblee record is 5-1, and they
have finished their schedule.
Friday night the Rams hung up
victory Number eight of the 1964
season against a one-point loss to
Tucker. The score over East Hall
was 41-6, but the NCHS fans and
team got a scare as the home club
scored first at East Hall.
However, it wasn’t long before
Fullback Dale Gordon and Half
back Jeff Hinton started to chum
up the yards. Gordon scored three
TDs and Hinton two during the e
vening. One of Gordon’s was a 33-
yard pass from Tim Christian and
this enabled Tim to tie his record
of 12 TD passes of last year. He
has one game in which to break
that record.
On defense Wardell Reed, Free
man Batchelor and Larry King led
the charge in stopping the running
game. Reed had 15 tackles in the
clash, Batchelor 13 and King 12.
Steve Lott and Steve Norman each
had 10, Elliott Hewitt had nine,
and Rufus Spears and Dale Gor
don has eight each.
Norman suffered a knee Injury
and may be out of the Russell
game Friday. Eddie Hinton will
take his place in the lineup if the
regular end is not ready by Fri
day. Hinton played part of the
game Friday.
