He quickly answers all who
talk about a region cham

start thinking about Monroe
IK we win our next two region

game and ties for the region

necessary despite the fact the
Hornets have beaten both
already.
Westfield is averaging 21.4

attained 150 markers in seven

Friday Night In Fort Valley
Explosive Trojans
Next For Panthers
The Perry Panthers, after a
week’s rest, will have their
work cut out for them this
Friday night when they
journey to Anderson Stadium
in Fort Valley to tangle with
the explosive Peach County
Trojans.
The Trojans, under head
coach Scott Conner in his
second season at Peach
County, have chalked up a 5-1
record so far this season, with
only a 20-17 upset loss to
Thompson marring their
slate.
Peach, averaging nearly 40
points per game, has relied on
a potent rushing attack to sink
five foes. The Trojans have
rolled up over 1,300 yards via
the ground led by junior
halfback Mathew Jackson and
junior fullback Kenneth
Baldwin. Jackson, a 6-0 200
pounder, is the second leading
rusher in 3-AA with over 500
yards and a six yard average
per rush. Baldwin, an ex
plosive 205 pounder, has
recorded over 450 yards on the
ground and averages almost
ten yards every time he
carries the pigskin. They have
scored 16 touchdowns between
them and have been stopped
by nobody,
Junior quarterback Jeff
McCrary hasn't had to pass
much but when he does he’s on
target. The 160 pounder has hit
better than 60 percent of his
losses for over 200 yards.
Jackson and halfback Larry
Brown are McCrary’s favorite
targets.
The Trojans use a multiple
offense formation and they
will throw all of them at the
Panthers Friday night.

Unlucky ‘A’ Panthers •
Fall To Centerville 27-6
Perry’s “A” Panthers lost
to the Centerville Eagles by a
score of 27-6 at Moody Road
Park last week. Panther
Coach Louis Baumli, ad
mitting that the score is what
counts, had this to say about
last Thursday's game. "We
were beaten in score only.
This score is not a real in
dication of the type of game
our team played. The Eagles
first drive was well executed
and their score was earned.
Later in the first quarter and
again in the second quarter
the Eagles found a height
mismatch between our
safetyman and one of their tall
halfbacks. On both plays our
safetyman was beaten for
TD’s. Our safety was just too
short to stop the high passes.
When we adjusted our defense
the Eagle pass threat was
taken away. Our Panthers
played the Eagles to a 19-6 half
lime.”
The Eagles scored once
more in the second half,
making a two point PAT. The
Panthers hit as hard and clean
in the fourth quarter as any
team seen this season. Many
tackles were made one on one,
Panther to Eagle. They really
cracked on impact. The
pursuit was right behind.

Friday night’s contest in Fort

are a fine team, well coached.
They came to play and I sure
hope they remember the
Panthers gave them a hard
game. All the Panthers look
forward to their next meeting
with the Eagles and are sure
the Panthers will be taking
Eagle feathers back to Perry
"Our 12th man was sitting
on the sidelines due to a
practice injury which put him
on crutches,” Baumli con
tinued. ‘‘Safetyman Ricky
Bowens agonized over each
play. Instead of being able to
help our offense by play
calling from the side lines we
were forced to use hand
signals and voice com
munications. This didn’t work.
In fact, QN Debro Hill mistook
a signal I gave him and ran a
running play on fourth and
long instead of punting.
We also hurt ourselves with
unnecessary penalties. I
blame this on our lack of
players. We are unable to
practice many game
situations, such as a full of
fense running against a
defense and visa versa.”
Assistant Coach Bobby Lee
Woodard had only one com
ment, “They did the best they
could under real tough con
ditions. It’s very hard to keep
an offense clicking when you
kicking chores, will be a tough
man to place. Senior Randy
Murphy is expected to take
over the punting duties, while
junior James Hillson will
handle the placements.
Other than the loss of the
Browns (junior Joe Brown
was also lost to the Panthers
from an ankle break suffered
in the Putnam game) the
Perryans should be in good
shape for Friday’s contest.

from the sidelines.”
Halfback Roy Hill gave the
Panthers his usual out

6 on a plunge up the middle.
Roy Hill also scored a 2 point
PAT, only to have it called
back by another penalty.
