Football Champs
. The Andrews football team this week will meet Hendersonville (
in Canton to decide which school carries off the Western District
title. . i
I
Even though the HendersonviUe team is a heavier squad, we've
got our money on Andrews. The Andrews team is a smooth running,
hard fighting group of boys. And they proved their worth by earning
the Smoky Mountain Conference title. If they lose the game Fri
day. mind you we don't believe they will lose It; but If they do, it '
' will l^e because they are out-weighed. They can't be out fought.
Andrews won the top spot for Cherokee County and Murphy took
second place. Now it is up to all of us to give the Andrews boys all I
the support we can.
