Three time defending conference
champs, Virginia Union, has found
the road back to the top mighty
rocky. It was the Pirates of '

Johnathan Cauthen Is Happy About Win Over Myers Park
By James CuthberUon
Post Sports Writer
..Smiling Johnathan Cauthen was
happy about the 13-12 loss the
Harding Rams administered to.
their arch rivals, the Mustangs of
Myers Park.
This was the first time the Rams
have beaten Myers Park in f6ur
yearsr
“It felt real good,” he said. "Last
year,, we were feeling kind of bad
because all of our backs were
catching leg cramps and couldn't
run. We wanted this game badly.”
"This is the first time I have been
on a team which beat Myers Park,”
said the 6’, 170 pounder who broke
his wrist last year before the season
started.
An outstanding junior high player
1 —
at Spa ugh Middle School, he was
named as the most valuable player
on his team.
Cauthen, this week’s Charlotte
Post ‘Football Player of the Week”
for his stirring performance and
game-winning touchdown, sakl the
defense was excellent in this game
with Myers Park.
"Defense is very important,” said
the running back. “And we have
gotten an excellent defense.”
Cauthen’s big goal is to get a
scholarship at a school with a good
football program and to win the
state championship in football.
“I believe that we are much better
in football than most people think,
and we have decided to show the
conference that we do have a good
‘earn at Harding.”
"We are looking forward to our big
game Friday at North Mecklen- ’
burg,” he said. “We believe that we
can beat the Vikings on their home
field.”
“I just can't help but remember
the feeling that we had after we beat
Myers Park," Cauthen said. “We
would like to experience that
feeling against this season.”
j. u. uulncn and the Rams may
be on the move in the Southwest
ern 4A.
In the Garinger game Allen Till
man, a tailback, was the hero taking
a pitchout sweep around the left side
in the first quarter to give the
Wildcats all the scoring they needed.
Garinger defensive tackle Bert
Giles had set that score up by hitting
Darron Hancock hard enough to
cause him to fumble the ball.
Independence's Joey Simpson
scored the only touchdown the Pa
triots neeuui on a seven-yard run in
the second quarter.
Tyrone Fuller and Richie Melchor
had outstanding games for the West
Charlotte Uons with Melchor carry
ing for 171 yards including scoring a
touchdown on a 91-yard run.
Although Myers Park lost the
game, Chris Myers’ fumble recove
ry that he converted into a 28
yard touchdown was exciting for the
Mustangs.
Ernie Blue of Olympic broke out of
his scoreless draught with a three
yard touchdown run that gave
visiting Olympic an early lead over
Hunter Huss of Gastonia.
