The young Blue Devils were trailing by only six points with just under five minutes of play remaining in the game when they tried an onside kick in a effort to regain ball possession after William Lynch’s touch down had narrowed the margin to 20-14, Pisgah. The alert Pisgah defend ers recovered the short kick, however, and started a drive that ended with another Pis gah score coming with only 15 seconds showing on the clock. Brevard took the lead in the hard fought contest in the first period when quarterback Dale Griffin passed to Jimmy Phil lips for a touchdown. The score had been set up when Brevard recovered a Pisgah fumble at the Pisgah 21. Gary Wynn kicked the extra point giving Brevard a 7-0 lead. Pisgah countered with a score early in the second per iod when Chuck Stines scor ed but the failure of a two point conversion attempt still left Brevard ahead 7-6. Ronnie West scored for Pis gah late in the second quarter and Stines took it over for a two point conversion giving the homestanding young Bears a 14-6 halftime advantage. After a scoreless third per iod, West scored his second six pointer in the final frame. The extra point attempt was blocked, leaving Pisgah ahead 20-7. Brevard took advantage of another Pisgah fumble to set up the final score for the visi tors, which really brought the crowd to its feet. William Lynch fumbled three times on the same play, but he finally got ball possession enough to carry it on over for the score. Wynn kicked the extra point, setting the stage for the onsides kick off attempt that failed. Undefeated Bearcats, Blue Devils To Clash Here This Friday Night Two long-time gridiron foes, the Brevard Blue Devils and the Hendersonville Bearcats, will meet for the umphteenth time in their long history here Friday night, and, as has been the case many times in the past, both teams are undefeated. Coach Joe Hunt’s strong Bearcats, moving up into AAA competition this year after completely dominating AA grid circles for the past several years, are reportedly strong and versatile once again this year. The undefeated Bearcats have only given up twelve points to four opponents so far, and even Brevard’s po tent offense is expected to experience trouble moving against the stalwart Hender sonville defense. “Joe Hunt always does a great job with the single-wing, and we can’t expect anything less than a good Hendersonville team to come over here Friday night,” Coach Ed Emory com mented. Hendersonville has chalked up wins over Edneyville, Rey nolds, Owen and East Hen derson to date, and they will be going all out to keep their record unblemished against the Blue Devils. Coach Emory also noted that only three blemishes appear on Hendersonville’s record since 1968, and two of those, a 19-19 tie in 1968 and a narrow 27-26 loss last year, were administer ed by the Blue Devils. “They’re bound to be chompin’ at the bit to get back at us for that one point win last year,” Coach Emory stated, “And I just hope we’ll be mentally prepared for them”. It’s an old, old rivalry, and Friday night’s meeting be tween the two should be an other in a long line of thrill ers. Kickoff has been set for 8:00 p.m., and perhaps the largest crowd of the year is expected to be on hand when the opening whistle sounds. Blue Devil Football Films Are Shown On Monday Nights The Brevard Blue Devil Football films will be shown in the Brevard High School audi torium every Monday night at 7:30 for all parents, Blue Devil members and interested fans. The reasons for this are because of shift workers, concession stand workers, parents, and in terested fans. It is impossible to park in the parking lot next to the gym on a wet night because the lot has no gravel on it. Chief J. C. Rowe has been asked to park season ticket holders when there is not enough room in the lots next to the gym, to park them at the football practice fields. The Athletic Department has asked all season ticket holders to please be understanding on this problem. “We are working on ways to improve our parking spaces,” officers say.

Steve Morgan Named "Player Of The Week" Co-Captain Steve Morgan, called by his coaches one of the finest linemen in the area has been named Bre vard’s fourth “Player of the Week” for the 1971 football season. “Steve’s play all year long has been outstanding,” com mented Blue Devil head coach Ed Emory, “But he was simply terrific against North Bun combe.” The Blue Devil guard blocked like a demon on of fense, paving the way for Brevard’s backs to pick up huge chunks of yardage time after time against the Hawks last Friday night. This was the key to his being honor ed as “Player of the Week”. “The Blue Devil coaching staff is pleased to honor Steve Morgan for his outstanding play against North Buncombe, and for his continuing 100% ef fort all season long,” Coach Emory concluded.

Norman, Crite Score 3 TD's Each In Rout Biwirfi devastating Mm Devils gat three touchdown performances by Jacob Nor man and Terry Crite, added two more by Danny Walker, and one each by Denny Grif fin and Kandy Morets to shoot down North Bun combe’s Blackhawks by a 70-7 margin here last Friday night. Sven a terribly muddy field caused by unexpected late after noon rains Friday couldn’t slow down the Blue Devils, who chalked up their fourth con secutive win in as many games this young season. Jacob Norman, continuing his personal assault on Bre vard High’s record books, set the pace early when he sprinted SO yards for a touchdown on Brevard’s first offensive play to send the Blue Devils ahead (4. Stan Hudson’s kick made it 7-0 with only eleven seconds gone in the game. Norman has now carried 40 times this season for a 15.1 average. North Buncombe, the last team to hand the Blue Devils a regular season defeat on their own field, showed signs of life by taking the kickoff and marching 60 yards for their only score of the evening. Ernie Lasher bulled his way over from the one to score and then kicked the extra point that tied it up at seven all with 8:37 remaining in the first period. Then, for all practical pur poses, school was out for the Hawks. The Blue Devils received, and in four plays they were on the scoreboard again, with Norman sweeping wide for 17 yards and the score. Hudson’s kick raised the count to ’4-7, Brevard, with S minutes left in the first quar ter. On the next series of downs, North Buncombe stif ened its defense enough to halt the surging Blue Devils for one of only several times But the “Big Blue Machine" was back in operation early in the second period as Denny Walker went 26 yards for an other Brevard six pointer. Denny Griffin hobbled the snap from center on the extra point attempt, and was stopped short trying to run, leaving the score 20-7, Brevard. North Buncombe fumbled at their own 37 yard line sev eral plays later, Brevard re covered, and Denny Griffin had Brevard on the score board again four plays later as he went over from the two. The versatile Blue Devil signal-caller then passed to Kicky Salter for the two point conversion, putting Brevard ahead 28-7. The Blue Devils scored once more with 93 seconds remain ing in the first half when Jacob Norman got his third touch down of the night on a 26 yard run. The Griffin-to-Salter pass combination clicked for the two point conversion once more, and Brevard went in at half time leading 36-7. The assault continued in the last half as Danny Walk er went over from the 16 yard line early in the third period, with Stan Hudson giving Bre vard a 42-7 advantage with his perfect conversion. Terry Crite then appeared on the scene for the first time this season after recovering from a pre-season fractured wrist, and he made his debut in awesome style. The hard-running senior scored Brevard’s next three touchdowns on runs of five, five and sixteen yards. Hud son kicked true after one score, had his kick blocked after another, and then Rob ert Charles passed to Keith nkholson for a two pointor that raised the score to 84-7 wi|k still over seven mlnntei left to play. Randy Mofetz concluded the scoring onslaught with a five yard jaunt with 1.38 to play, and when Robert Charles was stopped short on the two-point conversion attempt, the Blue Devils had themselves a 70-7 victory. The margin of victory was not the largest ever tor Bre vard, as some observers might think. That record was set by Deyce Cannon’s 1M0 Blue Devils who shut-out the Franklin Panthers here by a 71-0 score. Statistics: N.
