Butch Sursavage Signs
As Clemson Footballer
ANDREWS - Butch Sur
savage became the first And
rews High School gridder in
the school's history to sign
a full grant-in-aid pact with
an Atlantic Coast Conference
school as he signed this week
with Clemson College.
The grant-in-aid will cover
all costs at Clepison for tui
tion, room and board, books
and other fees for four years,
plus an optional extension of
the grant for an extra year
for the Andrews footballer.
Although Andrews is known
throughout the State as a
football powerhouse in Class
A competition, few gridders
have had college aid offers.
Bob Cooper signed with West
ern Carolina in 1957 and Terry
Postell has played for Lees
McRae and Mars Hill.
However, this year was an
exception as recruiters from
many major colleges have
visited the High School and
have talked with Sursavage
and his teammate John Ger
nert.
Sursavage was first con
tacted by Clemson during his
sophomore year shortly after
making the WNC All - Scho
lastic second team. They have
kept in touch since then.
The 6*3" - 205-pound end
has visited a number of col
lege campuses in recent weeks
and admitted that selection
of his future school was a
difficult decision.
Sursavage stated that he has
had a tremendous respect for
the Tigers for several years.
He likes the coaches and
freshmen athletes he has
met. He also likes staying
close to WNC.
Sursavage also participates
in basketball, having made
All-Conference last season,
and is a members of the track
team.
In considering the recogni
tion he has received, he ex- .
pressed appreciation to his
coaches, "Pee Wee" Hamil- |
ton and Cecil Mashburn, who, i
he believes, bring out thebest
in an athlete in both perform
ance and character.
He also had high priase
for his teammates who show
ed their ambition and ability as
they romped through Western
District play-offs.
Butch (whose name is act
ually Joseph, Jr.) is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Sursavage.
