Smith’s victory over the Whirlies was a big blow to Grims-
ley’s playoff hopes. It made a win over Reynolds almost a must,
if the big blue was to make the post-season games.
The Whirlies obviously missed Jim Mitchell and John Perry
in the Smith contests, especially on defense. In both games in
which Perry did not play, High Point and Smith, the opposition
had fine nights offensively.
Mitchell’s presence could have made a big difference in the
ballgame. Although Rick Pipan and Eddie Harrison played well
in reserve roles, the Whirls had no one who could keep up
with Mike Porter.
Once Porter got a step on the defense, he was literally
“home free.” It is quite conceivable that if Mitchell had been
healthy, he could have caught the elusive tailback on a couple
of his long runs.
While the Golden Eagles were knocking off GHS, Salisbury
was tying Reynolds 13-13 In the big game in the East, Durham
defeated Raleigh Broughton 20-7. West Mecklenburg surprised
Charlptte Garinger 13-7 in the Southwestern Conference.
Since the state rules prohibit a school from playing more
than 12 games in a season, once again there will be two state
co-champs. Here is the schedule for the Central 4A’s com
peting teams.
Central’s No. 3 Team Vs Durham
Central’s No. 1 Team Vs. Broughton
Central’s No. 2 Team Vs. Garinger
The winners of the first two games will meet for a share of
the state crown, while the victor in the third will battle either
the Southwest’s No. 2 team or Asheville.

Mike Porter, running over, under, around, and through Grimsley defenders, scored five
touchdowns to lead Smith’s Golden Eagles to a stunning 48-32 upset victory over the Grims
ley Whirlies, November 4. /
Seemingly running at will against the big blue, the junior tailback gained over 200 yards.
Don Crews also ran for big yardage, as the Eagles amassed over 400 yards on the ground.
It was undoubtedly the worst defensive performance the Whirlies have staged in many
years. The 48 points were the most that had ever been scored on a Bob Jamieson team. The
Smith total could have been larger had it not been for several saving tackles by Rusty Cul-
breth.
Smith did not take long get
ting on the scoreboard. Starting
from their own 40 after the open
ing kickoff, the Eagles moved
to the Grimsley 44. From there,
' Porter broke loose for the re
maining yardage and a 6-0 Smith
lead.
The Whirls came right back
with a TD. Jim Powell ran the
kickoff to the Eagle 47. A 20
yard run by Culbreth and a per
sonal foul against Smith were
the key plays as Grimsley drove
to the eight. Quarterback Mike
Hipps then raced around left end
for the score. Hipps’ PAT gave
GHS its only lead of the night.
It did not last too long. A 41
yard pass from Porter to Laymon
Williamson and a 63 yard run
by Crews were good for Eagle
touchdowns midway in the first
half.
Morris Scores
Grimsley struck again moments
later, after Culbreth ran a punt
20 yards to the Smith 45. A lO"
yard jaunt by Culbreth and a
nine yard run by Steve Hathcock
took the blue and white to the
17. Glenn Morris then scrambled
up the middle for the six pointer
on a tremendous piece of run
ning.
After Porter ran a kickoff 89
yards for a touchdown, GHS
puiled to within seven at 27-20,
by scoring late in the half. Hipps
raced 17 yards and Culbreth
sprinted 25 on big plays as the
Whirlies drove from their own
24 On fourth down from the
Eagle eight, Hipps threw to Cul
breth for the touchdown and
fired to the same halfback for
the extra point
Taking the second half kickoff,
the Whirls moved 58 yards for
a score. A 12 yard aerial from
Hipps to Culbreth and a 22 yard
toss from Hathcock to Dean
Brewer on crucial third downs,
helped take the big blue to the
11. Frem there Hipps picked his
way through the Smith defense
for a touchdown.
Smith Scores
However, Porter put the game
out of reach by racing 37, 16,
and 38 yards for scores. Grims
ley picked up its final TD be
tween the last two Smith tallies.
Operating from a shotgun of
fense, Hipps passed the Whirlies
93 yards to paydirt. The senior
quarterback hit five of six on this
drive, the last going 18 yards to
Brewer. The speedy end faked a
pitchout and streaked into the
end zone for the TD.

WILLIAMSON CATCHES CULBRETH
BUT OFFICIAL CATCHES HIM
Smith’s Laymon Williamson catches Whirlies’ Rusty Cul
breth from behind. Williamson is detected grabbing the
face mask, however. The penalty set up a Grimsley touch
down, with Mike Hipps getting the TD.
