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 uton 13-yard f>M from Hike Wilson (Roten run) AHS?
