Minth Grade Panthers
Beat Tigers In Finale
By Phillip Arnall
Last Thursday night
the Perry Ninth Grade
Panthers took the field at
International City
Stadium and ended their
junior high football
careers with a 9-0 victory
over the Tabor Tigers.
The win boosted their
record to 6-2 and gave
them a season which
Coach Ray Mims
described as "excellent”.
The Panther captains
for the night were Donald
Yancey and Derrick
Harris. The Panthers lost
the toss of the coin and
kicked off to Tabor.
Neither offense could
get anything going until
late in the first quarter
when Panther TB Larry
Whitfield took the ball
and scampered 62 yards
to the Tabor 23 yard line.
The Panthers were
unable to score and Tabor
look over on their own 7
yard line. The Tabor
offense was denied a first
down by the tough
Panther defense and was
forced to punt. LB Ricky
Jackson blocked the punt,
picked up the ball, and
stepped into the endzone
for the Panthers’ lone
touchdown. The PAT was
blocked.
The Tabor offense tried
desperately to score
before the half but an
interception by Cor
nerback Derrick Harris
put an end to their hopes
for a touchdown, The
score was 6-0 in the
Panthers’ favor when the
half ended.
In the second half the
Panthers entered deep
into Tiger territory twice

Here’s how Perry’s top football prognosticators view the outcome of this week’s best matchups

but could only muster a
field goal by Scott Taylor.
The Panther defense
did a good job of
preventing any scoring
by the Tigers. Johnny
Farms led the unit with 5
tackles. Thomas Ragin
was next with 4. Ricky
Jackson had 3 tackles
while Bruce Kendrick,
Derrick Harris and Ricky
West had 2 each. Tracy
Scott and Scott Taylor
registered 1 each. West
also had a fumble
recovery.
The offensive line had
another good week. The
job they did reflects on
the running game. The
Perry backs gained over
200 yards. The offensive
line consisting of Ricky
Jackson, Kenny Grace,
Steve Rumph, Ken
Terrell, Johnny Farms
and Andy Morgan have
all done great jobs this
year.
The offensive backfield
boasts QB Paul Carroll
(who has only been in
tercepted twice this year)
and Running Backs
Marcus Clark, Larry
Whitfield, Scott Taylor
and Arthur Adams.
The bench has always
been a strong point of the
Panthers and has always
supplied good support.
The ninth grade
Panthers would like to
express their ap
preciation to their
coaches, Mr. Ray Mims
and Mr. Glover Gibson, to
their managers, to the
ninth grade cheerleaders,
and to their many fans

incentive,” Coach Dicky
Erwin commented.

season, and it has paid off
for them. Our record
wasn’t all that good, but
we didn’t end up on the
losing end. We ended the
season with a 3-3-2, and
I’m sure they will do
better next year,” Coach
Shelton stated.
