Danny Ezelle leaps high into the air to receive a pass in spite of the close defen- sive coverage by Cardinal-Newman. Searching for the open hole, Gil Hendrix returns an lrmo kickoff while "Gazelle" Burnett makes a key block. 22-Football Three One-Point Losses Blemish Seoson's Record Hoping the Wildcats would be careless after their admirable win over lrmo, VWnnsboro arrived at the Hollow. Two touchdowns put Lex- ington ahead 14-0, but Winnsboro retaliated with two quick touch- downs, making the score 14-12. However, their efforts to attain a lead were ineffectual as the final score was 44-12. Traveling to Langley-Bath- Clearwater for the sixth game, the Wildcats found the going tougher than expected Mackie Bedenbaugh kicked a 25 yard field goal early in the first quarter,' Lexington received its only touchdown from Jimmy Bass late in the fourth quarter, and the game ended with Lexington on top 9-0. ln the second of three tough road games, the Lexington Wildcats found Batesburg-Leesville too much to handle. After trailing 7-0 at halftime, the Wildcat offense quickly put six points on the board in the third quarter. A penalty against Lexington nullified the extra point,' a second attempt from the 37 yardline fell short of the goal posts and the Wildcats suffered a 7-6 loss. At Saluda the Wildcats again failed to put the necessary ingre- dients together for a victory. The 13-12 defeat eliminated the Cats from the Conference 3-AAA race for the championship. By employ- ing a ground attack, Lexington broke its two game losing streak with a 31-24 win over the Bulldogs of Newberry. A wet Held and slippery ball ended any chance of aerial attack, so the Wildcat offense ground out 130 yards rushing and nine first downs. ln the Hnal game of the season Lexington yielded a narrow victory to Thurmond Despite the efforts of Jimmy Bass and Danny Ezelle, the Wildcats' attempts to gain the lead were futile.

24-Football Wayne Green and Barry Byrd listen attentively as Coach Long gives last- mmu te hzstructians, Junior Varsity Posts Break Even Seoson Under the leadership of Coach Long, the junior varsity "Mighty Mouses" posted an even record of four wins and four losses. The strength of the team lay in the performance of Mark Sox as quarterback and Steve Jeffcoat and Wayne Greene in the backfield Contributing outstanding defensive performances throughout the season were Joel Shealy and Harald Rhodes. In the season's opening game, the "Mighty Mouses" downed the Gilbert Varsity 28-20: the second game brought a victory over the Ifwnnsboro JV 14-0. Proving to be much tougher were the next three games which resulted in losses to lrmo 27-74, B.C. 6-0, and Chapin 74-12. The JV "Mouses" then posted two impressive victories over Saluda 20-6 and Newberry 13-0. Lexington lost the season 's finale to Thurmond 20-Q "WS ,.. L .gs-.V - , 2 , ..
