Andrews, Swain
Battle To 6-6 Tie
BY AHS JOURNALISM CLASS
The rain-soaked fans saw their
team plo-.v through a muddy field
last Friday night in Bryson City
to hold Swain to a 6 ? 6 tie.
Previous to Friday's game , An
drews, on top of the Smoky Moun
tain Conference, had a five win, no
loss record. Swain had four wins
and no losses.
Andrews kicked and from then
on, it was an exchange of fumbles
as each time the ball was almost
too slick to be handled. The Jer
seys were so muddy at times it
was impossible to identify ;he
players.
However, the mud and rain did
not keep the teams from playing
good ball. The field which was
just like one large mud pie could
not stop either team frerfc gain
ing sonic yardage.
The line for both teams played
well, but Andrews seemed to gain
more rushing yardage than Swain.
Andrews fallback Dwain Win- 1
frey broke loose in the first quar
ter to rush for a 44-yard gain.
Jimmy Holland also did a nice 20
yard jaunt for the 'Cats. The
quarter ended with Andrews on
[the Swain si*.
The drive was cut slioiy how
ever, and in the second quarter,
neither team could make any ser
ious threats. Holland tried for a
field goal without success. Both
teams seemed to hold fast to the
opinion that the other should not
score.
The third quarter was just a
pull and a push as each team ex
changed fumbles and all players
kept slipping up in the mud. A
Swain drive was cut short on the
Andrews 30 when the Wildcats
took possession of the ball on
downs.
In the fourth period, each \eam
decided It was time to ac on*. An
drews scored first, with Winfrey
going over tor the score after a
sustained drive. The try for con
venton failed.
Swain scored In the last two
minutes when Stub Hyde went 60
yasds and soored standing up.
Their try for the extra point also
failed, making the score 6-6
Holland toftk advantage at the
last 40 seconds and went for a
30-yard dash. A Swain penalty put
the ball on the Swain 14 but time
ran oat More the 'Cats could
reach pay dirt.
Both teams are sUD undefeated
AmOnwm has only two mora eon
ference games remaining, while
Swain has five.
Tomorrow at 8 p. m. the Wild
cats will travel to Sylva for an en
counter with the Hurricane.
