(Brevard Wrestlers Lose First
Match To Reynolds, Enka Next
The anticipated “battle of
the undefeated” between the
Brevard High wrestlers and
the strong Enka Jets will not
materalize this Friday night,
because the Blue Devils were
upset by the Reynolds Rockets
at Reynolds Tuesday night.
Perhaps looking too far
ahead to their scrap with
Enka, Coach Frank Robin
son's charges ran into a fired
up band of Rockets in Bun
combe County Tuesday and
sustained their first dual
match loss this season by a
score of 35-25.
The Blue Devils had added
two more scalps to their belts
after resuming activity last
week after the Christmas
holidays, soundly whipping
Hendersonville Thursday
night and slipping by Tuscola
37-27 Friday night.
Those two wins had upped
Brevard’s record to 8-0 for the
year and the Enka match
loomed big on the horizon here
this Friday night. That is,
until the Blue Devils traveled
to Reynolds Tuesday night.
There the Brevard grap
plers ran afoul of the Rockets,
while the Jets were keeping
their record unblemished by
disposing of Owen 55-12.
Tuesday night’s match was
close all the way with the final
two matches deciding the
eventual outcome.
In the 100 pound class,
Jerose started the Rockets off
on the right foot by winning a
decision over “Chuck” Weiss,
and then Bridges helped the
homestanding Rockets by
battling Norman Masterson to
a draw in the 107 pound class.
Morris Avery put the Blue
Devils on the board by pinning
Stuart in the 114 pound class,
and Mike Owen put Brevard
ahead by pinning Jenerlo in
the 121 pound class.
Reynolds then recaptured
the lead with two decisions,
Stroupe over James Rahn in
the 128 pound class and Hare
over Marty Blackwell in the
134 pound class.
Garland Powell kept things
close with a decision over
Guzman in the 140 pound
class, but Jeff Brookshire’s
loss by decision to Smith in the
147 pound class kept Reynolds
in front.
The Rockets increased their
margin with two consecutive
pins, Cordell over Todd Aiken
in the 157 pound class and
Crawley over Mike Norman in
the 167 pound class.
Jeff Norman narrowed the
margin by pinning Stokley in
the 187 pound class, but then
the Rockets put things out of
reach in those two final
matches, a draw between
Frizzle and Clint Cox in the 197
pound class, and a pin by
Curry over Smith of Brevard
in the heavyweight class,
bringing the final count to 35
25, Reynolds.
The win was a sweet one for
the Rockets, who had been
soundly trounced 48-17 by the
Blue Devils in an earlier
match.
So the stage is set for the
undefeated Enka Jets to come
to town Friday night for their
match with the Blue Devils at
the BHS gym. The Blue
Devils will be going all out to
regain their WNC supremacy,
while the Jets will be striving
to keep their record un
tarnished.
It shapes up as the match of
the year, and a large crowd is
expected to pack the gym here
to witness the outcome.

72-69 score.
The Tornados placed five
players in double figures,
Johnson with 16, Kitterman
and Austin with 15 each,

TOUCHDOWN, signals the official, and
from the looks of the pileup on the floor in the
above photo, he just might be right! Actually,
this was part of the action that took place at the
BHS gym Tuesday night in the girls basketball

Rockettes downed the Blue Devilettes 47-35.

Brevard Cagers Lose To Bearcats,
Mounties And Rockets, Play Enka
Reynolds’ floor leader
David Lunsford hit four
clutch free throws to give his
Rockets a thrilling come
from-behind 54-49 overtime
win over the Brevard Blue
Devils Tuesday night at the
BHS gym.
The loss was Brevard's
seventh in ten games, and was
probably the most heart
breaking of all.
Coach Lyndon Clayton’s
Blue Devils had led
throughout the game and were
never headed until two three
throws gave Reynolds the lead
for the first time at 48-46 with
only 1:09 left to be played in
regulation time.

Brevard led by as much as
fourteen points in the second
period and went into the
dressing room at halftime
holding a commanding eleven
point 30-19 advantage.
The Blue Devils still led by
four, 38-34 at the end of three
periods, and stayed in front of
the visitors until two free
throws knotted the count at 46

game.
Two more Reynolds free
throws put the Rockets ahead
48-46 with 1:09 left, but Turk
Norman battled under the
basket for a close inside shot
that pulled Brevard even
again with only 27 seconds

left. That shot sent the game
into overtime, where the Blue
Devils managed only one free
throw by Lionel Gash to a
basket by Kent Briggs and the
four Lunsford charity shots,
giving Reynolds the hard
earned win.
Lionel Gash led all scorers
for the evening with 17 points,
while Turk Norman was also
in double figures with 12.
Brevard’s girls also found
rough sledding once again as
they dropped a 47-35 decision
to Reynolds’ lassies, and the
Jayvees played it a little
closer but also came out on the
short end of a 50-46 decision.

dersonville’s Bearcats, one ot
the area’s top ranked teams,
