Devils Win Sixth Straight 7-AA Grid Crown
By BONNIE HUNT
Appalachian High School
clinched its sixth consecutive
District 7-AA Northern Division
championship last Friday night
with a 39-0 conquest over arch
rival Elkin High School. The
win gave the Blue Devils a 5-0
record in conference play and
? 6-1 record overall.
Elkin won the toss and receiv
ed the opening kickoff. On their
first play from scrimmage they
tried a pass which Gary Storie
intercepted and returned
twenty yards for a touchdown
behind the fine blocking of
Glenn Triplett. Phil Hampton
plunged over for the extra
point. Midway through the sec
ond quarter, Chuck Blanton
broke over right tackle and
sped 59 yards for a touchdown.
Jim Reary ran the extra point
to give the Blue Devils a 14-0
halftime edge.
Appalachian took the second
half kickoff and marched the
ball all the way for a touch
down with the score coming on
a 13-yard pass from Hike Wil
son to Chuck Blanton. Jackie
Roten ran the extra point
around left end.
The Blue Devils struck again
on the second play of the final
quarter when Jim Reary passed
over the middle to Ronnie Hunt
for a touchdown. Appalachian
scored again on a 14-yard pass
from Mike Wilson to Jackie
Roten. The final touchdown al
so came on a Wilson to Roten
pass which covered 34 yards,
making the final score 39-0.
While the offense put on a
dazzling 39 point performance,
the Blue Devils' defense gave
up yardage begrudgingly. This
is indicated by the fact that El
kin never got inside Appalach
ian's 25-yard line.
Next week the Blue Devils
venture to Taylorsville to take
on the Taylorsville Bears in a
non-conference contest. Game
time will be 8 p. m.
The scoring by periods is as
follows:
AHS 7 7 7 18?39
Elkin 0 0 0 0?0
AHS ? Storie, 20 intercepted
pass (Hampton run)
nton 50-yard run

AHS? Hunt 4-yard pass from
Reary (pass filed)
AHS? Roten 14-yard pass
from Hike Wilson (pass failed)
AHS ? Roten 34-yard pass
from Mike Wilson (run failed).

Gary Brown Is
Bright Spot In
Blue Devil Wins
By LEE STROUPE
Gary "Goober P." Brown is
one of the bright spots in the
Appalachian High School foot
ball lineup. He plays tackle on
both the offensive and defen

to back down to any of his
larger foes. His leadership abi
lity was displayed at NCSD
when he represented the team
as captain in the Blue Devils'
26-14 victory. This is Gary's
