Rockmart ‘Speeds By’
Indians, 40-21 Friday
By JIMMY ESPY
Poor defense and special
teams play combined to
smother the Indians in their
Friday night, 40-21 loss to the
Rockmart Yellow Jackets.
Rockmart's speedy backfield
appeared to be far too much
for the slower Indians and on

By GENE MARTIN
The East Rome Gladiators

shape after the kickoff return
to their own 28 vard line.
Walter Cliatt lost two yards
on the first play. Tommy Jor
dan picked up two yards on
the next snap. After a penalty
against East Rome, the

through the Bulldogs for eight
vards, Jeff Blanchard udfi«‘d
another seven yards to give
East Rome a first down.
Following a penalty, the

Jackson's three vard carry
that followed. Jackson was on
ly able to manage two vards
on the next two carries. After
a loss of a vard and an in
complete pass, Bobby Mon
tgomery kicked a 24 vard field
le to fii\'e East Rome a 3-0
ead with only 2:02 left in the

JERRELL FARMER LOOKS FOR ROOM
quarterback Kip Allen and
receivers Will Hair, Greg Day
and Mike Barbee kept Chat
tooga in the game,
lf‘ho Indians scored first
and looked outstanding in the
process, mountir:f a 15 play,
time-consuming drive that in
cluded both success in rushing
and passing. Running backs

sense after a penalty against
them. Fitz Christopher picked
up ten yards on the first play

downs. Anthony Alexander

next snap. Fitz gained two
yards hv’orv Kenny Gilreath
ran the ball twice good for on
ly two yards. Fitz came on the
scene and booted a 356 yard
field goal knotting the score at
Jay Wilson and Reafun Black
did most of the ball carrying
work behind some impressive
blocking from the offensive
line. ?ilack scored the
touchdown on a two yard
blast behind guard Jack Led
ford and tackle Darrell
Thompson. Key plays on the
drive included a third down
3-3 with only 2:15 left in the
half. There was no real threat
by either team in the rest of
the half.
The second half started
with the Bulldogs taking the
opening kickoff. Trion tried a
pass to start their offense
which went incomplete. On
the next two plays, Fitz pick
ed up a total of eight yards.
Being short of a first down,
the fiulldngs were forced to
punt.
Getting their hands on the
ball for the first time in the se
cond half, the Gladiators went
to work on their 37 yard line.
Ronnie Jackson picked up
three vards. \\'after Cliatt
squeaked out two yards next.
Bobby Montgomery scooted

intercepted by Fitz
(‘hrislop‘wr.

ball with 6:20 left in the third
quarter. Fitz (‘hristoglher
gathered eight yards in three
runs plus a penalty against
East {h\nw Gilreath hit John
Everett on a pass good for
seven yards. Fitz ran twice for

for ten yards. On first down at
the Gladiators' 28 vard line,
Fitz rambled the 28 yards for
a touchdown. Fitz kicked the
PAT giving Trion a 10-3 lead.
The 10-3 lead was short liv
ed as on the kickoff that
followed Walter Cliatt broke
Trion's back. Cliatt took the
kickoff and went to his left
and outraced the Bulldogs 92
vards and a touchdown.
Trion received the kickoff
and were ready to begin
another offensive punch.
However, the fumble g bit
Trion again and East l%{omo
recovered. Stanley Stevenson
recovered the fumble.
East Rome found the
Kip Allen to Greg Da 88
corlr)lpletion and a thirc{ d’(’:wn
penalty on Rickmart that
resulted in a Chattooga first
down. Jack Ledford booted
the extra point.
Rockmart wasted no time
in evening the score, moving
65 yards on the very next
possession. Taking over on
their own 35, after a 22 yard
kick return, the Yerlow
Jackets started to march. An
11 yard run b{, their lightning
uick quarterback David Mc
grary and a 13 yard McCrary
Eass completion moved the
all to the Indian 46. From
there senior tailback David
High did the rest, galloping 46
yards to a touchdown. q‘he ex
tra point kick by Tony Scott
tied the game.
Chattooga took the lead
afain in the second quarter
after linebacker Reagan Black
stopged a Rockmart runner of
the ball and darted down to
the Yellow Jacket 5 yard line.
A Rockmart Stonewall then
met 2 running plays and set
up a 3rd down and goal at the
5. Chattooga appeared stop
ped completely on the follow-
Ing ;f)lay when an Indian run
ner fumbled the football into
the hands of a Jacket
defender. However, the ball
didn’t stop there and was bob
bled repeatedly until Chat
tooga's Sandy Shook
recovered it in the end zone for
a touchdown. Ledford's PAT
was no good.
The two teams then traded
interceptions before the half
ended. However, Chattooga's
was the more damaging of the
two as it came on third and
two at the Rockmart 10.
Rockmart's trememdous
advantage in speed made
itself apparent on the first
i))ossession of the second half.
avid McCrary returned the
initial kickoff all the way to
his own 49 yard line. McCrar
then bolted around the lef{
end of the ChatLoop{;a defense,
faked off a would-be tackler,
and ran 51 yards for a stunn
ing touchdown. The PAT by
Long was good and Rockmart
took a lead they would not
relinquish.
'l‘?\e Yellow Jackets failed
on their next big scoring op
portunity, but Chattooga
q’l‘li(‘kly gave them a second
chance. After recovering a
fumble at their own 45, the
Jackets moved the ball 19
yards before being forced to
punt. However, the punt was
misplayed by the Chattooga
deep man and the ensuing
fumble was recovered by a
Jacket player at the 1 yard
Bulldogs defense just as
tough as ever. Jackson picked
u;; one. Following a penalty,
Alexander hit Dukes with a
pass good for seven yards. To
start the fourth quarter, East
Rome was hit with another
penalty. Dennis Whatley on a
reverse picked up ten yards.

was only able to get one yard
on fourth down. °
The Bulldogs went to their
offense but couldn’t move the
ball. Gilreath lost three yards.
Fitz bursted through for nine
yards. Gilreath lost four more
yards on the next play. Fourth
down was bad for Trion when
a bad snap prevented Trion
from puntin iving East
Rome good I%elf position at
Trion's 24 yard line.
Behind Tommy Jordan's
fourteen yard gickup. the
Gladiators marched toward
the goal line. Alexander ran
for %our yards. After two
penalties to Trion, Jackson
took the ball in to the end zone
after two plays. The PAT fail
ed but East Rome led 16-10.

REAGAN BLACK HEMMED IN
line. Two plays later Scotty
Sumlar lungedyin for the score.
The successful PAT made it
Rockmart 21, Chattooga 13.
The Indians couldn’t move
the ball on the next possession
and Kip Allen was forced to
unt. His 35 yard bout was
?ielded at the Yellow Jacket
27 by wingback Juan Mec-
Crary. 73 yards later McCrary
and teammates celebrated his
lengthy touchdown gallop
that put them ahead 27-14.
However, any ideas that
the win was already assured
were quickly corrected by an
execiting Chattooga air
assault. Taking over on his
own 20, Indian quarterback
Kip Allen quickly moved his
squad into Jacket territory.
First, Allen connected on a 25
yard pass to Tony Adams who
made an exceptional catch.
Allen followed with a 22 yard
aerial to William Hair. Three
plays later the Allen-Hair
combination connected for 28
yards to the Jacket 5. Three
futile running plays yielded a
faulty two yards before Allen
dropped back and hit flanker
Greg Day for the touchdown.
Allen again went to Day on
the try %or two and they were
again successful.
Unfortunately for Chat
tooga, the fine offensive series
failed to pick up either the
kicking game or defensive
Flay. A short kickoff gave
tockmart excellent field posi
tion at the 42 and 3 running
plays hammered the ball te
the Indian 40. David McCrary
then topped his evening of}f
with a back breaking 40 yard
romp through a dazed Indian
defense. McCrary's
touchdown, his second of the
night, effectively ended any
Chattooga comeback hopes.
Chattooga's last attempt
to score en(fzed quickly with an
interception that u{Limately
set up Rockmart's final tally.
The \?ellow Jackets moved the
ball in for the touchdown with
fresh Lroogs. Lightly used
junior tailback Steve Davis
went in from ten yards out to
close out the scoring.
The passing game was
almost solely the Chattooga
offense for the night. Allen
completed 15 of 27 passes for
165 yards and a touchdown.
He threw two intercepts, one
near the end of the first half
and one in desperation at the
end of the game. Mike Barbee
made 4 receptions for the
cause, three of which were
very tough catches. His first
reception was a beautiful grab
of a 26 yard aerial and showed
how much good hands can
help a receiver. William Hair
caught his share of passes
also, puiling down 4 tosses for
74 yards. While netting only
22 yards on his 4 grabs, Greg
Day was also a key receiver,
catching a touchdown pass
and a two point conversion
pass.
