Haralson County Rebels Slip
By Trion Bulldogs in Opener
Bulldogs Host Valley Point
In First Region Encounter
The Trion Bulldogs opened up their 1973 football season Friday night as they fell
to the Haralson County Rebels 13-6.
The Bulldogs won every statistical department but were beset by costly mistakes.
The Bulldogs lost four fumbles and two pass interceptions. Although allowing 13
points in the first quarter due to fumbles the Bulldogs settled down and played
hard-nosed football the rest of
the way.
The Bulldogs defense played
an outstanding game, allowing
only 29 yards rushing in the
first half while finding them
selves backed up to the goalline
on several occasions. Leading
the Bulldog defense were Dan
Logan, “Tuffy” Russell, Jeff
Bowers and Jerry Anderson.
The game opened up a dis
mal one for the Bulldogs as
they fumbled on their first
play from scrimmage at their
own 45. From here, the de
fense held the Rebels to just
three yards and again the Bull
dogs got a chance. This time
they fumbled on their 24 on
the second play from scrim
mage.
This time the Rebels were
not to be denied, driving the
ball in in 4 plays. The score
came on a fourth down play
with James Moreen catching a
20 yard touchdown pass with
7:06 left in the first quarter.
Keith Dewberry kicked the
PAT and the Rebels led 7-0.
On Trion’s next possession
the Bulldogs drove to the
Haralson Co. 32 before a costly
holding penalty took the life
out of them and Haralson Co.
took over on downs.
From there, the Bulldog de
fense really stopped the Rebels
cold with -1 yard in 3 tries. On
fourth down, the Rebels
punted but the Bulldog punt
returner misjudged the ball and
the Rebels recovered the ball at
the Trion 42.
In 7 plays the Rebels
pushed it over as James Moreen
scored his second touchdown
on a 16-yard gallop. The PAT
was wide of the mark.
After an incomplete pass
opened the drive, Rebel quar
terback Tommy Davis hit
Moreen for 16 yards to the
Trion 26. After a running play
lost one yard Davis hit Donald
Wallace for 12 more yardsand
a first down to the Trion 15.
Again the Bulldog defense
threw the Rebels for a yard
loss on a running play before a
Davis pass fell incomplete to :
set up the launt by Moreen.

FEARLESS PROGNOSTICATIONS
Chattooga 14-Pepperell 13
This game could go either way as the Pepperell team is a highly
underrated team. I look for the Indian runners to pull them
through though IF the questionable offensive line can hold the
defense off. „ „ .
Trion 28 - Valley Point 0
The Bulldogs should be tough in their own region after getting
the butterflies out and a little experience. They have a fine
defense and a capable offense with Randy Peace and Jeff Ware
running the show.
Other picks—Adairsville 35, Red Bud 0; Dalton 20, Calhoun 7,
Model 14, Armuchee 12; Gordon Lee 27, North Whitfield 12;
Chattanooga Valley 7, LaFayette 6; Rossville 35, Lakeview 21;
CTeveland, Tn. 21, Ringgold 7; East Rome 35, Darlington 3; West
Rome 7, Coosa 0.
* ♦ *
REGION RACES
The region races for the Bulldogs and Indians should be tough
grinds for both clubs. The Bulldogs have definitely been tagged as
contenders with tough competition from Adairsville and Bobby
Chappell’s Gordon Lee Trojans. The Indians face a tough time
but with a little hustle, desire and determination can be in the
thick of things. Coosa and Calhoun should be the t'toughest tests
and are co-favored for region honors.
The region 7-AA South should be a showdown between East
and West Rome with East Rome favored but who’s counting out
perennial champ West Rome after their miraculous comeback
against Gadsden? * * *
WORLD SERIES TIME
With the coming of football, World Series time is approaching
with hot races in both the National League East and West. The
American League races are almost out of hand with Oakland and
Baltimore the contestants in the playoff. The Series is always a
spectacular event and this year’s should not prove any different.

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW SPORTS
Here are three mind-benders for all sports butts. It you know
the answers send them in on a postcard to Monday Morning
Quarterback, Box 310, Summerville, Ga. 30747.
1. Who holds major league record for most homeruns in a
doubleheader?
2. Who holds record for most consecutive shutouts?
3. Who kicked the most field goals in a single pro game?

THE“HAMMER”
Hank Aaron, the talk of the baseball world, is in quest of the
most enviable record in the sport. Much is said or written on
whether he will reach it this year. With time running out, this
writer feels that next year will be the time in which No. 715 is hit
and also predicts a banner year for Hank. No matter how many
he hits he stands already with the immortals of the baseball
world, the Ruths, the Gehrigs, the Dimaggios, the Williamses and
Spahns. With the homerun record in sight most people forget his
over .300 lifetime average and over 3,000 hits, his many years of
20 or more stolen bases, and his RBI production. Too many
people worry about his popping up to see that a man at 39 or 40
is really doing great to compete with younger players. But Hank
does ... he competes and usually outshines younger players.
Although age has drained the whip in his throwing arm and
speed he still seems to be the symbol of the all-around great
ballplayer.
Only time will tell the greatness Hank Aaron will receive from
history, but for everybody that has played with him, against him
or wrote or even saw him play there will always be an aura of
respect for this great player.
INTERFERENCE?
If you would call this play interference you would be
right because the Rebels were assessed 15 yards on
this play. Shown is Sammy Kingsmore (88), Bulldog
end, as he tries for the reception.
