Perry High off to best start since 1990 season
By ALLINE KENT
Low the
BARNESVILLE Perry, which fell to Lamar
County 14-7 in the last game of the 1997 season,
played a hard fought game here Sept. 11 and came
away with a 13-2 win.
The victory pushed the Panthers’ 1998 record to
2-0, 1-0 in Region 3-AA play. This is the best start
for Perry since 1990 when the Panthers won their
first two games.
“I told Coach Wilson (Lamar County’s head
coach) that it was a shame that either team had to
lose," said Perry Head Coach George Colling “Both
teams played well with a lot of heart. But I am glad
it was us on the winning end.”
Neither team’s defense allowed any points in the
first half of the game.
Perry fan’s did have a scare late in the first quar
ter when the Panthers had the ball on the 28-yard
line. A 1-yard carry by Donte Holmes made it sec
ond-and-ninc. Dontrell Green passed the ball on the
next play but it was batted right back to him on a
missed interception by Lamar.
The third quarter was highlighted with a strong,
long run by Holmes. Perry was first-and-10 on the
31 but got no yardage on that play. Donovan
Kendricks got 5 yards on second down but carried
the ball into the end zone with a 25-yard run on third
down. The Panthers fumbled the snap and tried to
run it in but failed to get the extra point.
Perry’s defense protected the lead when the
Trojans made their way to the 3-yard line. It was
first-and-goal but senior Rayfus Fluellen got the
tackle. On second-and-goal the Trojans were
stopped by Dontarrius Thomas.
With third-and-goal at the 1-yard line, the Trojans
were penalized 5 yards for delay of game. On fourth
down, Fluellen again made the big play when he put
pressure on the quarterback and the ball was thrown
incomplete.
\He anticipates staffing Station 4
(Henderson area) and Station 5 (Lake Joy
area) with at least one full-tiny: paid fire
fighter by Oct. 3. These stations have been
entirely on a volunteer basis.
Before that, however, he intends for each
of the new employees to “be afAt to run
every piece of equipment we have.”
Williams said that the cost of paying the
firefighting personnel has been covered in
the regular budget by cutting expenses in
other areas.

Another delay of game penalty was called, this
time on Perry. Perry got the ball on the 2-yard line
and got no gain on the first down. On the next play,
the ball was fumbled and Perry recovered in their
own end zone giving Lamar County their only points
of the evening.
Perry kicked off from the 20 and had a pass inter
ference penalty called on the first play of Lamar
County’s possession. On third down, the Trojans
fumbled and the ball was recovered by Morris
Clarington.
With less than 3 minutes left in the game, Donte
Holmes had a 60-yard run for the touchdown. The
point after kick by Phillip Gentry was good.
Perry kicked the ball and the Trojans tried to
move it down field. Thomas intercepted the ball on a
big play to stop any hope of scoring Lamar County
may have had. Green went to his knee on the last two
downs and the game ended with the final score 13-2.
Collins was ecstatic after the game and gave a lot
of credit to his entire defense.

County gains
competition for
Cagle chicken plant
By EMILY JOHNSTONE
Times-JouK-Nai. Staff
Houston County may have
some competition now in bring
ing a Cagle chicken processing
plant to this area.
Chairman of the board of
Cagle Inc. Doug Cagle Sr. con
firmed Sept 15 that the company
is eyeing a building located in
Monroe County. The Bibb
Company is the present owner of
that building.
Cagle said that while engineers
have not yet looked at the Monroe
County building, he could not
rule out the possibility of interest
in that building for a processing
plant.
Tim Martin, executive director
of the Houston County
Development Authority, said he
believes Cagle is taking a serious
look at the Monroe County loca
tion.
However, Martin said he is still
in contact with Cagle, awaiting
their decision of whether or not to
purchase the former Heileman
Brewery building located in
Kathleen along Ga. 247 Spur.
“I am still in the mode of
answering questions.” he said.
Martin said he has “proDaoiy
talked to 500 folks (about Cagle)
in the last three or four weeks."
“There’ are some who would
genuinely not like to see it hap-
Grand National Paso Fino
horse show opens Sept. 22
Kkom Staff Retoets
The Grand National Paso Fino
Horse Show and Sale will be held
at the Georgia National
Fairgrounds on Sept. 22-26. All
performances will be in the
Reaves Arena.
Paso Finos are famed for their
distinctive smooth gait, an inborn
trait which has made them popu
lar with riders around the world.
They were first brought to this
country by the Spanish
Conquistadors and were especial
ly prized by American Indians.
They are the oldest true native
breed of horse in the western
hemisphere.
Highlights of the show will
include competition in the classic
“fino” gait, which is performed
on a boardwalk, as well as a num
ber of demonstrations of horse
manship skills.
Riding sensation George Meek
of Bums, Tenn., will display his
unique cowboy style Roman rid
ing, standing astride two fast run
ning chargers he calls his “Salt
and Pepper” team.
to hare a fly-in -scheduled to coincide
with the show, said Airport Manager
John Houser.
Up to 100 people are expected to par
ticipate as they fly their craft to the Perry
Airport for landing, then shuttle to the
base to attend the air show.
According to Houser, three vans will
be provided for shuttle use this weekend.

pen," he added.
But, the “overwhelming
majority of folks I’ve talked to
are supportive of it," said Martin.
Sources say the Monroe
County property could probably
be purchased by the company at a
cheaper price than the former
brewery building located in
Houston County.
To meet USDA regulations,
the Houston County building
would have to be retrofitted, with
such costly changes as a stainless
steel ceiling being put into place.
Meanwhile, Martin said he is
ready to help any way he can.
“We’re the honest broker, the
facilitator to help folks find
answers,” he said.
The company announced inter
est in the Kathleen location a few
weeks ago. That led to some
groups coming out in vocal oppo
sition to such a plant being locat
ed in Houston County.
They have voiced concerns as
to problems they tear tram chick
en houses and the type labor pool
that would be needed to fill jobs
at the proposed chicken process
ing plant.
