One That Brevard Won 7 Forget By - Kays Gary This is the story of a football game, but it is more than that, so mamas may want to read about it, too. This is because it is about young men like their sons and it demonstrates what they are made of when the chips are down. Specifically, it is about the Brevard High School football team coached by Wake Forest alumnus Cliff Brookshire and about co-captains Wayne Hunter and Lloyd Fisher and quarterback Danny Shook and all the rest. BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY it is about a young halfback name Paul Scruggs, and you could say that Paul was the team’s big question mark and therefore potentially controversial. This is because Brevard takes its football seri ously. Co-captain and tackle Lloyd Fisher, for in stance, is a candidate for All-State. And here was Paul Scruggs picked to play halfback, and he just did not look like anybody who would fit into the Brevard backfield. Besides, this was his very first year on the team. People, after all, are inclined to judge by ap pearances and fail to take into account the thing that matters most—how a fellow performs on and off the field. They can only see how he looks. If he is spindly legged or cross-eyed or looks too different they can assume he doesn’t belong. But Coach Brookshire and his team knew better. On Saturday night Brevard opened its season against T. C. Roberson High of Buncombe County, and Paul Scruggs did not start at halfback. It was a tough ball game, tied 6-6 in the second quarter, when Coach Brookshire tapped Paul to go in. There was a hush over the crowd, except for a scattering of hoots you can always expect from a few, and if Paul heard he didn’t show it. BREVARD CAME out of its huddle and quar terback Shook took the snap and pitched out to Paul, of all people, and co-ca'ptain Fisher blasted a hole at tackle, and Paul scooted through it and 60 yards to the tie-breaking touchdown. That sort of broke the game open, and when it ended, with Brevard ahead, 39-13, the T. C. Rob erson High players came in and shook hands all —Turn to Page Two Brevard College has begun a new term, and the campus is once again a busy place.
