was a great day? (or franklin,
that Is.
Not only was th? victory a
moral one, It also was psycho
logical, for the 8waln High
Maroons have taken the Smoky
Mountain conference crown
smack dab out of the hands of
the Panthers for the last two
years. Losing at the hands of
Bryson City was getting to be
a habit.
This year, however, since
Franklin was beaten by Sylva,
the crown wasn't at stake? the
lads were just out to break the
Jinx that has been plaguelng
them for years, and break it
they did.
And Just in case some of you
pleased Franklin fans are want
ing to show a little gratitude
for the outstanding brand of
ball displayed by the Panthers
Friday night, the next time you
run across Coach Ralph (Chuck)
McConnell give him that old
five-finger greeting called a
hand-shake and tell him what
a wonderful Job you think he
has done with his lads.
If you could have seen the
Panthers carrying him around
the field after the game Fri
day night you couldn't help but
feel that here's a coach who
not only teaches boys the fin
er points of football but also
moulds men.
We grant that the Panthers
played a bang-up brand of ball
and are due a lot of the credit,
especially for bouncing back
when they trailed 6 to 0, but
for our money the credit goes
to Coach McConnell, who has
taken average material and
turned out an above-average
team. That, my friends, is good
coaching. That was one game
"for the coach".
It's a pretty big chore for a
coach who has only worked
with our lads for two years to
knock off a high school that
has beaten Franklin for five
years running.
This column was so pleased
with the outcome of the game
it is in favor of erecting a
monument to the coaching
genius of McConnell, Don't
think we've seen a better game
in years, or a team more dead
set on winning.
The Panther offense .rolled,
the defense was like a runaway
freight in the Swain backfield,
the pass defense clicked ? every
thing was rosy.
And like we said, if you want
to hand out a bit of praise,
praise McConnell, he's the man
who has It coming!
MORE COMING
It appears that football fans
around In these parts still have
more coming In the way of rock
'em-soclc 'em games, with the
Panthers still listing games with
Murphy, Waynesvllle, and Clyde.
The Murphy game Is on tap for
tomorrow (Friday) night over
there and as usual plenty of
local fans are expected to take
to their wheels and roll over
for the tilt.
We were just running this
IP over in our minds and
thinking how snafued things
are going to be in the Smoky
Mountain conference IF, Bryson
City knocks off Sylva, who beat
Franklin. If this IF is forth
coming, and assuming that
Franklin gets by Murphy (we
chuckle), the conference will
have to unsnarl a three-way
tie for the crown between the
three teams. Anyone got any
ideas on how they will straight
en the thing out?
BANG!
Ain't there any huntin' going
on? Haven't heard about much.
