fensive play against Murray State in Western’s
opening game of the season last Saturday. The
’Cats lost to Murray State 32-22, but it wasn't Joe’s
fault. The hard-nosed sophomore linebacker made
15 unassisted tackles and had eight assists, inter
cepted a pass, recovered a fumble, and caused two
other fumbles with his bone-jarring tackles. He is

The Rosman Tigers chalk
ed up their second consecu
tive win in three outings this
past Thursday night when
they handed the strong Ashe
vill “B” team a convincing
38-7 setback.
The Tigers, really beginning
to snarl after their opening
game defeat at the hands of
Tryon, put together a fine of
fensive performance to go along
with their usually tough defen
sive effort to bring their sea
son record to 2-1.
Jimmy Earl McCall led
Rosman’s scoring parade with
a brilliant 3 touchdown per
formance, while quarterback
Jimmy Hall scored once, and
halfback Tony Gantt added a
touchdown, a 25-yard field
goal and one extra point to
Rosman’s total.
Jimmy Hall also passed for
two 2 point conversions, one to
Tim Thorpe and another to
Chuck Pressley. His touchdown
came on a one yard plunge.
McCall’s touchdowns came
on runs of 44 and 15 yards,
and a 32 yard scoring pass re
ception from Jimmy Hall.
Tony Gantt turned in a great
offensive performance for the
Tigers, picking up a total of
184 yards in 23 carries to lead
all Rosman ball carriers in that
department.
The lone Asheville score
came in the first quarter
when quarterback Derrick
Rick Lance passed 24 yards
to Mike Marvels. Pat. Pasios
converted to conclude the
young Cougars’ scoring for
the night.
Rosman faces its first con
ference opposition this Friday
night when the Tigers take on
rugged Marshall at Marshall.
“We played our best over
all game against Asheville
“B” last week, and I’m look
ing for an even better effort
against Marshall this Friday
night,” Coach Lee Powell
stated.
“I was pleased with our fine
team effort, but we can’t afford
to rest on our laurels. After all,
this conference game is the one
that really counts, and I hope
cur boys will really be ready
for it,” he concluded.
Marshall is currently 3-1 on
the year, with their only loss
coming at the hands of Mars
Hill in a squeaker, 14-12. The
Red Tornadoes have whipped
Cane River 20-6, Boone’s
Creek, Tennessee 28-0, and
Tuscola’s “B” team 26-7.

25 win over the Roberson Rams.
Ronnie Banther took on
Tuscola quarterback Jody
Caldwell as his personal target
last Friday night, and spilled
the Mountie signal - caller for
big losses on three separate oc
casions.
He otherwise harassed all
Tusocla backs all night long,
and was a major contributing
factor in the fact that Tuscola
picked up only 94 yards rush
ing against the Blue Devils.
“We’re mighty proud of the
great effort that both of these
fine young men have exerted,
and we’re very pleased to honor
them as our first two “Blue
Devils of the week,” Coach Ed
Emory stated.

Blue Devils Try For Third Win
Here Friday Night Against Swain
The Brevard Blue Devils
will play the second of five
consecutive home games this
Friday night when they take
on the Swain High Maroon
Devils from Bryson City at 8
p. m.
Coach Ed Emory indicated
that the Blue Devils could not
afford to let down against
Swain, even though the Maroon
Devils are AA classification as
opposed to Brevard’s AAA
status.
“We know that Swain can
move the ball well and is cap
able of putting points up on
the board”, he stated, “And
I just hope we don’t suffer a
let down against them. I
thought we played better
against Tuscola than we did
in our opener against T. C.
Roberson, but we’re still mak
ing too many mistakes. Man,
those penalties are eating us
alive!”
Brevard has been penalized
a total of 265 yards in the first
two games.
Coach Emory stated that
Brevard’s defense was much
better against Tuscola, and
he cited Ronnie Banther and
Mitchell Burr for outstand
ing defensive performances,
as well as Steve Morgan and
Ronnie Whitmire.
Several Blue Devils were al
so acclaimed for good offen
sive performances, including
Dennis Clark, and Jacob Nor
man* who blocked beautifully
when not carrying the ball.
Coach Emory stated that
Swain had ' three good ball
carriers in Charlie Williams,
Kenny Oates and Nat Wat.son.
“The Maroons have averaged
scoring over 35 points in their
last two games against Cher
okee and Hayesville,” he
noted.
Another large crowd is ex
pected to be on hand to see
the “Big Blue Machine” perform
once again this Friday night.

News From
US Forest Service,
White Pines Open
Ranger Danny Hile announces today that
local citizens have agreed to keep White Pines
Campground clean and haul the garbage away
in order to keep the area open through Oc
tober 31st. , .*^401
When the closing date of September 15th
was announced several campers contacted Rang
er Hile to discuss the possibility of leaving a few
areas open through the fall color season.
Since federal funds for maintaining rec
reation on the Pisgah District have been used
up this was the only way the area could be left
open. An agreement has been drawn up be
tween the Forest Service and the Citizens
Committee for keeping White Pines Camp
ground open. It will be the responsibility of
every camper to help keep the area clean.
There may be a chance of keeping Coontree
Campground open if interested citizens come
forth to sign the agreement. We have talked
with several campers about Coontree but have
no committments to date.
A similar agreement was worked out for
the figure eight loop at Lake Powhatan near
Asheville.
These two areas will be open to the pub
lic as usual but it will take everyones coopera
tion to keep the area open.
All other recreation areas on the District
closed September 15th.

The Brevard Bine Devils
continued their first half of*
fensive fireworks last Friday
night to score a convincing
19-0 win over the Tuscola ,
Mountaineers.
It was Brevard’s second C
-straight win of the young sea- »r"
son, and their first in Parkway
Division competition in the
Mountain AAA Conference.
All 19 of Brevard’s points
were scored in the first half,
plus two additional touch
downs that were called back
by penalties. “The Big Blue
Machine” has now scored
nine official tourchdowns in
the first half against their
opponents, and only' one six
pointer in the last half.
Brevard’s great defensive
play, lead by tremendous per
formances by linebackers Ron
nine Banther and Mitchell Burr,
stopped the Mounties without
a serious threat all night long.
Only once, aided by a fifteen
yard penalty against Brevard,
did Tuscola advance as close ai
Brevard’s 24 yard line.
The Blue Devils scored
first with slightly over six
minutes remaining in the
first period. Soph Danny
Walker went over from the
one to climax a 42 yard drive
that had been set. in motion
by Mitch Dockens’ intercep
tion of a Jody Caldwell pass.
Two big plays in the drive
were passes from Denny Griffin
to Wayne Robinson, good for
12 and 17 yards respectively.
Stan Hudson booted true after
Walker’s score, putting Bre
vard ahead for good at 7-0.
With 9:36 remaining in the
second stanza, Wayne Robin
son and Darius Holtzclaw
dropped back to receive Chuck
Milner’s punt. The two fak
ed a handoff, but Robinson
kept and swept down the side
lines 58 yards to score. Hud
son’s kick was wide to the
right, leaving the count at
13-0 Brevard.
Brevard held after the kick
off, and on the third play af
ter regaining possession, Dan
ny Walker sprinted into the
open off right tackle 51 yards
for an apparent touchdown. Il
legal procedure was called
against Brevard, however, and
the beautiful run was nullified.
With time running out in
the second period, the Blue
Devils moved goalward again,
finally striking paydirt on a
pass play that saw Randy
Frisbee all alone in the end
zone where Denny Griffin
hit him perfectly for anoth
er apparent score. Again the
oficials said no, and the
play and the score were nul
lified by a fifteen yard pen
alty.
The relentless Blue Devils
were not to be denied, howev
er, and on the next play, with I
only three seconds remaining
in the half, Denny Griffin again 1
found his receiver, this time -
Wayne Robinson, who breezed
42 yards to score. No flags this —
time, and the score mounted
to 19-0, Brevard. It stayed that
way when Griffin tried to boot
leg his way around left end for
a two point conversion but was
stopped about a yard shy.
Penalties, more than the
Mounties, stopped Brevard’s
offense in the second half as
the officials continued to
celebrate flag day.
The contest marked the sec- ".
ond straight where the Blue
Devils have been penalized
more than 100 yards. They were
assessed 125 yards against T.
C. Roberson, and 140 against
Tuscola.
Over 6,000 fans jammed
their way into Brevard High
School Stadium to witness the
important clash. They saw the
Blue Devils send the Moun
ties down to defeat for the
third consecutive year.
