Perry 'll' loses
Tough Game, 9 to 0
The Panthers of Treutlen Coun
ty High School just about clinch
ed the Region 2-B West crown by
defeating the Panthers of Perry
High School here last Friday
night, 9 to 0.
It seems to be a characteristic
of the 1961 Perry team to require
a half to get warmed up. Treutlen
rolled up its 9 points by halftime
and clung tightly to that margin
throughout a second half domina
ted by the Perry team.
Treutlen marched to a score in
the first quarter and lucked into
a safety just before the half end
ed. The Soperton boys were one
of the hardest tackling and block
ing teams seen in Perry in a long
time. Two gentlemen named Kin
ny Dorsey and Woodrow Kight al
ternated in carrying the ball un
til Kight went over for the score
with 11 seconds left in the first
quarter, Dorsey drove over for the
PAT.
Offense Slow to Go-Go
Perry failed to make a first
down in the first half, but in the
last half the Panthers had five
first downs to Treutlen’s four. The
locals just couldn’t get it over the
goal line. A pass interception in
the last two minutes wound up
1 Perry’s chance for a score. Three
passes were dropped by intended
receivers, and that could have
made a big difference in the
score. Quarterback Dozier Hasty
was putting them out where they
should have been caught.
Freddie Dismukes, sophomore
fullback, was the top individual
ground gainer for Perry, making
30 yards on five carries.
Standouts on defense for Per
ry were Bobby Goodman, Charles
Bridges, David Lawson and Ralph
Defore.
Treutlen has a 3-0 record in
region competition, having defeat
ed Perry and Hawkinsville, the
chief contenders. They should
have little trouble with the rest
of their region foes and should
take on the winner of Region 2-B
East at the end of the season. That
probably will be Claxton, now
sporting a perfect record in four
efforts for the season.
Perry’s Panthers will meet the
always strong Hawkinsville team
down in the Pulaski county capital
Friday night in what promises to
be a good game. Treutlen defeated
Hawkinsville, 19 to 14, the only
blot on Hawkinsville’s record for
the year.
Perry has never lost to Hawkins
ville when the game was played
down there and has never won
from them in Perry. Look for a
close one.
Last Friday night’s game was
the last home game until Nov. 3,
when Mary Persons High of For
syth will come here.
After Hawkinsville, the Pan
thers will play Montgomery Coun
ty High at Mt. Vernon on Oct. 13,
have an open date on Oct. 20, and
go to Vidalia on Oct. 27.
Perry will close out the season
here Nov. 10 with Lyons here.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Moreland
and children attended the Peace
Officers Convention at Jekyll Is
land last week and visited friends
there.
