loss, just one step away from the
state title game.
Thompson also notes another
rarity that was prevalent in 1960 -
every high school in the city that
year won their conference.
"Reynolds and Atkins won
their conferences in 4-A. Gray,
Carver and Anderson won their
conferences in 3-A and Hanes was
2-A champs in their conference.
That was real unusual to see all
those schools win in the same year.
"But that said something about
the quality of athletics during that
time. If you were a high school in
Winston-Salem, you were expected
to be a winner."

Andrews intercepted a pass in the
end zone and ran it back to our 29-
yard line. With three-seconds left,
Evans lined up and kicked a field
goal against the wind to win the
game for them.
"It was of the toughest ways to

days to get over that one.
