was not good.
The Tabor Tigers
lecame the first team to
rack into the Panther end

ot the Tiger offense which
urned the trick; it was the
lefense. Perry had the ball
nd FB Kendrick had the
>ai I snatched from his
irasp and the Tabor
lefender raced the 30
ards untouched. The
tigers put up their extra
joint and led 8-6 at half
lime.
The Panthers received
the second half kickoff but
could not move and had to
punt. After two punt ex
chang# Perry began to
move toward their second
score.
FB Kendrick traveled
the final 3 yards up the
middle. The PAT was
tacked on with a run by
Ridley. The Panthers took
a 14-8 lead, a lead never
challenged.
After the Panthers
kicked off, the tough Cat
defense forced a Tabor
punt.
Ridley got behind a wall
of Panther blockers and
picked his way 65 yards, to
score the final TD of the
evening. Kendrick, tackle
Darrell Parker and other
unidentified Panthers
threw the blocks needed to
spring John free. Clarence
Bogan ran for the PAT to
end the scoring.
"Tabor out played us in
the first half. This was not
one of our best games. In
fact, 1 don't think we've
played as good as we're
capable of playing yet this
year," Coach Mims said.
'We need to eliminate the
costlv errors which can
wrecP a game. Namely,
busted plays, fumbles,
penalties and poor
execution. I think we can
play with anybody and I
hope to see us realize our
total potential before the
year is over."
The stingy Panther
defense was led by Randy
Brown. He had 5 individual
tackles and 7 assists.
Clarence Bogan had 3
individual and 6 assists.
Darrell Parker had 3 in
dividual and 5 assists.
Lynn Smith, Randy Reese,
Sam Robertson, Carl Bass,
Bobby Woodard, and
Ridley were responsible
for the good overall
defensive effort. Defensive
backs Randy Lumpkin and
Quentin Harvey continued
their excellent play
against the pass. The
Panthers' special teams
have been doing an ex
cellent job covering kicks.
The offensive line was
led by the interior blocking
of center Andy Poole and
guards Keith Owens, Boyd
Brooks and Don Grace.
Jimmy Linder, Marcus
Riley, Parker and Curtis
Noble contributed valuable
blocking to the successful
Panther offensive unit.
"We play Warner Robins
Junior this Thursday
which will be a battle of the
unbeaten. They are 3-0 just
like us," Coach Mims
stated. "Coach Mills at
WRJH does a good job
every year and he has
another fine team this
year. It will take our best
effort to get by them.
We're playing in Warner
Robins at International
City Stadium, so they'll
have the home field ad
vantage. It should really
be a good game."

Academy of Gordon last
week in a hard fought
football game. Sparks flew
all night as both teams
displayed extremely tough
defense. This was
evidenced by the 0 0 tie up
until the last five seconds
of the game. In what ap
peared to be a broken play,
the visitors ran in a four
yard touchdown to upset
the Lil Stingers 6-0.
The Lil Stingers took the
ball down to Gordon Ivey's
8 and 10 yard lines but
penalties prevented any
further penetration. Carter
Pierce with 47 yards
rushing and Mike Stovall,
39 yards, were the of
tensive stars with Ed

On the defensive side of
the ledger, Coaches Ed

found it difficult to point
out a single individual star
but every time the tacklers
were separated Mike
Stovall, Al Tabor, Robby
Branch and Craig Evans
were there, Gordon Ivey
made almost no yardage
up the middle as the Lil

than Gordon Ivey could
handle. Richard Nipper,

Culpepper, Roddy

Smith, Ed Kezar, Tommy
Thomson, and Gary
Bramblett played a large
part in stopping the big
Gordon Ivey backs.
According to Coach Bill
Nipper, the defense played
well enough to win the ball
game but the offense in
this initial season opener
nad a difficult time getting
on tract. Lil Stinger
coaches will work on of

preparation for the up
coming battle with Baker

Game time is 6.00 P.M. on
