Edenton; Ahoskie
/Came Detennines
Rep.
The Edenton Aces hope to make
it nine in a row Friday night when
they go to Ahoskie for the final
game of the current scheduled
football season. Both teams have
identical 6-0 records in the 3-A
Northeastern Conference and the
winner will represent the con
ference in post-season play.
Coach Jimmy Addison and his
tough lads will be going for all the
marbles at Ahoskie, therefore, the
contest is expected to be a real
battle. The Aces, lead by Henry
Drew’s spectacular running, have
posted 54 points in the last two
outings while giving up only 12
points.
After a 28-6 victory over
Williamston, the Aces fought the
dements Friday night and came
out on top of Roanoke, 26-6. Drew,
a junior fullback, rushed for 253
yards in the latest outing, scoring
three touchdowns.
In the first quarter, Drew
thrilled the fans with a 26-yard
run; came back with a 55-yarder
in the wet third stanza; and bulled
)over from the four for a final
period TD.

job.
The roof specified is a heavy

someone willing to do the work.
Inglis said: “What really
