Bulldogs Win County Crown From Rams Louisburg 20 Franklinton 12 It Went On All Night Louisburg ball carrier (hidden in the mass) is snowed under by the Pranklinton defense in the rain-soaked contest Friday night. Players shown are: Larry Fuller (12) and "Boo-Boo" Pergerson (62) of Louisburg and Royal Pergerson (85) and Spencer Strickland (52) of Franklinton. Others in the pile-up are unidentified. This went on all night as the two squads battled for a conference win and the County Championship. Louisburg outlasted the Rams, 20-12. ri wmmi ?! Oujo By CLINT FULLER The Rams proved to be Louisburg's most formitdable foe thus far Friday night. They were the first squad to score on the Bulldogs and came the closest this year to upsetting the locals. Franklinton showed some real improvement over their showing against Gaston in the opener and if the Rams can avoid injuries to their key players, this could be the strongest unit put together at Franklinton in years. The Bulldog front line continued to show their toughness as they stopped the Ram charges all nicfit. The lone TD through the line came after a gallant effort had stopped Franklinton for five tries. Penalties gave the Rams six tries from inside the Bulldog one-yard line. The Bulldogs missed Neill McDonald, who going into the game was leading scorer in the conference. He vtras passed Friday by Tim Jones of Oxford Orphanage who now has eight TD's and 8 extra points and a whopping 56 total points. Donnie Beckham was selected as Linesman of the Week by The Durham Morning Herald for his defensive play and for his scoring one of Franklinton's two TD's. Tim Jones of Oxford was chosen by the Herald as Back of the Week for his showing against Southern Nash Friday night. Louisburg has four players among the top scorers in the league and the Rams have three. Jones leads with 56, Neill McDonald is second with 32 and Bobby Kearney is third with 30. Robby McDonald leads in pass reception. He has snapped three thus far this season. Larry Fuller is second in TD passes. James Earp of Oxford has five Fuller has four. Louisburg continues to hold second place in the top scorers in all classifications. 4-A Goldsboro gave over first place to Wilson Fike and the Bulldogs remain in second place. Wilson has 112 in two games; Louisburg has 110 in three and Goldsboro hat 102 in three. Robby McDonald tied all Louisburg players in most TD receptions in one game Friday night when he grabbed his second one of the game. Others catching two TD passes irt one contest include: Richard Marshall in 1958 from Frank Freeman in the Siler City game; Terry Na#i in 1965 when he hauled in two Jimmy Geddie tosses against Norlina and Mike Wrenn in 1967 when Geddie threw two to him in the Wakelon contest. The record for one season is three, jointly held by the same threesome and the career record for the twelve years of football here is four held by Nash and Marshall. Fuller tied Frank Freeman, Geddie and Mike Wrenn for the most TD passes in a single game with the two tosses Friday night. Randy Seidel joined Marshall (1958) and B. T. Row* (3 times) in second place for the most TD's scored in a single game with three against Norlina. The record for the most TD's in a single game is held by Bill Williamson who scored four againxt Warrenton in 1964. MALE FACTORY WORKER WANTED MUST BE A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE.

The traditional Franklin family scrap was played out Friday night in a drizzle of rain that, like the Franklin ton Rams, never let up. Louisburg won the game, 20-12 and since the Bulldogs have done this twelve out of thirteen times, the outcome is secondary. It is not who won or lost, but how the game was played. And if you like your football rough and tough, this was your kind of game. The Rams held the offensively-potent Bulldogs to less than half their season scoring average and showed a spark as the game ended that killed any cele bration the Bulldogs might have had in mind. The Bulldogs walked from the rain-soaked field and one had to know the final score to decide which squad had won. The Bulldogs, playing without the conference's leading scorer, Neill McDonald, out with an injured elbow, and with Back of the Week Randy Seidel slowed by a leg injury, found their ground game left something to be desired. The drizzle and the Ram defense almost stopped the Bulldog passing offense but not before Robby McDonald hauled down a couple of Larry Fuller passes for touchdowns. Phillip Redmond ran the third TD to ice the win. The Rams got into the scoring act with a controversial plunge from the one-foot line and a spectacular pass play with no time left in the game. The Rams -like the rain-just never let up. Neither, however, did the vic torious Bulldogs. Louisburg won the toss but was unable to get a drive going and Frank linton held the bed offensive lineup in 1-A scoreless for the entire first quarter and for a minute and nine seconds of the second. It was at the 10:51 mark that sophomore quarterback Larry Fuller found junior flanker Robbie Mc Donald open in the flats and tosaed a 35-yard pass earnarked TD. McDonald ran the extra point, a penalty flag was dropped against Franklinton. the Bull dogs declined and led 8-0. As though they were repeating in case some fans came late, at the 2:50 mark in the second quarter. Fuller passed from the 34 to McDonald with the same result. The Bulldogs had an unintentional assist on the play as an unidentified Ram tapped the ball up in the air, allowing McDonald to grab it and race in for the score. Jimmy Wrenn's run for the point after was no good and Louisburg led, 14-0. There was 8:23 left in the third frame when Louisburg's sophomore fullback Phillip Redmond galloped for 34 yards to give Louisburg its third score of the night. The run for the PAT was no good and the Bulldogs had what appeared to be a safe, 20-0 lead. But, the Rams were yet to come to bat. Franklinton recovered a Louisburg fumble deep in Bulldog territory and on two plays had moved the ball to the Bulldog two-yard line. A penalty against the Bulldogs moved the ball half the distance to the goal line but the down was never changed. Instead of third and one on the Louisburg one. the Rami had a second and one. The run ? cross the middle was stopped by a stubborn Louisburg defense and on the third down, a. Ram jumped off sides. This action caused a Bulldog to counter and the officials called a dead ball foul on Louisburg moving the ball to the Louisburg one-foot line. The defense held again but on the sixth try . from inside the Bulldog one, Bobby Kearney tallied for the Rama. The Bulldog defense had played 134.02 minutes without allowing a score. The Franklinton run for the extra point failed and the Bulldogs held a 20-6 lead. The Rams cranked up again with :46 seconds left in the game and with only two seconds remaining Jerry Sim mons threw to Donnie Beckham on a 35 yard scoring pass and Beckham scored after all the time in the game was gone. The PAT try was no good and the game ended with Louisburg on top, 20-12. The two Ram touchdowns, coming in the final ten minutes of the game, stunned the Bulldogs and left them with little joy as they trucked off the muddy field. Ram fans were delighted -not at losing-but at the way their charges had played. The win tied Louisburg with Ox ford for the Franklin Area Conference lead. Both downed the Rams and the big game between the two powers will be played at Oxford two weeks from now on October 3. The loss eliminated Franklinton from any chance at the championship for this year.
