School of the Arts). In 1965, Griffith and Gray High Schools i each other," he recalls of the 7-0 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." lis Peterson, Donald Settle and Chris Kirkpatrick.

He carried us into the playoffs for two straight years despite us having the least talent we had in quite some time. "Those two teams had the great back and leadership in Byers, but they also had a lot of guts and heart that got them through.

"Then we got revenge on Andrews and beat "Ed Byers and Kennard Martin were the kind of “ field goal in that mess. Kennard looked like he was ice skating when he tried to run. "They beat us 10-0.

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 end the season and a game I’ll never forget.
