two yardline hadn't been dropped, the game probably wouldn’t have been lost in overtime. If, if, if. In what had the looks of being a great year, Central opened against rival Goshen thumping them soundly 33- 15. Some late minute he- roics pulled out a slim 9-7 win against St. Joe to put the Blazers at 2-0. However Washington pulled a minor miracle in winning 25-22. Central added two shakey wins against Riley and Adams before dropping two ina row to Mishawaka and La- Porte. Kurth often had praised the senior corp as one that never quit when things got tough. When the record went down to 4-3 they hung together and won the last three games and posted the predicted “7-3 in '73.” In those last three games Central came alive holding opponents to 15 points while scoring 74. Seven of those 74 came against Me- morial in one of the more thrilling and controversial games. Marty Phillips scored for Central with just min- utes to play for the only score in the defensive game.
