Although having an unsuccessful season, the Yellow Jackets provided the fans with some excit- ing play. A pre-season exhibition game was held at Vernon. This newly initiated event proved to be a catastrophe for the jackets. Our starting quarterback, Jimmy Don Crowley, sustained a serious head injury and was unable to play in the regular season. The position was filled by Steve McAdams and Thurman McDaniel -- both having had very little previous experience. In the game with Vina, the Jackets came on strong connecting for 20 points while holding the Red Devils scoreless. A hard-fought battle with Palmetto produced another win for the team. The final score was 12-7. The Jackets presented the spectators with a thrilling nothing-to-nothing tie at the end of the first half with Vernon. Unfortunately the team went on to lose the game 32-0. We went into our homecoming game with high hopes and determination. The Yellow Jackets tied Hubbertbille in touchdowns, but lost the game on extra points as the Lions converted one more time to give them the victory score, 13-12.
