S.A. Tops Lynchburg for Dixie Title
By Mike ‘‘Jeep” Mulllnnlx
“Happiness is beating them
(Lynchburg) for the first time,”
quipped coach Brockwell at
Rocky Mount Saturday. And
happiness it was. Players and
coaches danced arm In arm.
Faps congratulated a deserving
tearr. Players shouted triump-
hartiy, sang, and lifted coach
Hackney to their shoulders to
receive the tournament trophy,
St. Andrew’s soccer team had
just defeated top rated Lynch
burg College to win the second
annual D.I.a.C. soccer tourna
ment.
The Knights earned the right
to play Lynchburg when they de
feated a spirited Methodist team
Friday by a score of 2-0. The
game Friday left much to be
desired as S. A. played less
than perfect soccer. Several of
our players waited on the ball
instead of going after it. Some
watched flatfooted as Methodist
hustled after the ball. Our of
fense could not find a scoring
combination.
The start of the second half
provided no great change in
‘he game. Individual effort pro-
ved to be the winning factor
as Doug Colby scored on a roc
ket shot from 20 yards out. The
ball crossed the face of the goal
and filled the nets in the upper
right hand corner as the Me
thodist goalie watched helpless
ly.
The final tally came in the
fourth period as Yank Albers
scored his 20th goal of the sea
son on a penalty kick after miss
ing one earlier in the period.
The S, A. squad won the game
but the air was far from ju
bilant as- they looked on to
Saturday and Lynchburg,
Friday night was the begin
ning of the game on Saturday,
Coach Hackney received a long
distance phone call Informing
him that the S.A, booters had
been chosen to play in the re
gional N,A.I.A. playoffs.
“This relaxed the team,’
noted Hackney. It also created
an air of optimism which was
carried into the game Saturday.
It was not long after the
whistle sounded to open the
championship game that every
one present realized they were
watching the game of the year.
Both teams were looking for
**'lt!^Andr'ews took the opening
kickoff only to have it stolen
by Lynchburg. The S,A, eleven
then proceeded to steal it back,
drive down the field, and take a
shot at the Lynchburg goal'.
From this moment on it was
a determined Knight squad that
fought Lynchburg. The Laurin-
burg booters played team ball
as each individual player con
tributed his effort to the final
victory.
The defensive unit had been
tough all season, but this was
their highlight. Goalie Craig
Hannls made 28 saves as
he often charged the ball un
expectedly catching the Lynch
burg players by surprise. His
long throws and kicks helped
put the Knights back on the
offensive time after time.
The fullbacks played a tough
ball game, Doug Colby played
All-American Rushy Taylor so
tight he was unable to launch
his usual lethal shot, A1 Thomp
son and Bobby Brewbaker kept
the wings outside and prevented
