PINSON VALLEY ST. CLAIR Patrick and Minton are ready to strike With the Pinson Valley Indians winning their last two ballgames, and earlier during the season beat- ing Fultondale, they now had a chance to even up their record at four wins and four losses. Yet in order to do so they had to beat the St Clair County Saints. The Indians won the toss and elected to receive. The game got off to a terrible start for the Indians after the first play from scrimmage resulted in a fumble. The Saints recovered the old pigskin at the Indian ten and took a very early 6-0 lead. The extra point was blocked by Shane Wade as he sneaked his way under the offensive line. The offen- sive team would not be kept from scoring as Jerry Chambers made it on a three yard plunge. The extra point was kicked through the uprights to give the Indians a 7-6 lead at half. All the scoring done in the second half belonged to the Indians. Anthony Smiley scored twice, first on a four yard run and then again on a five yard run. Ron- nie Weiss scored the final touch- down on a one yard run. The Indian defense held the Saints scoreless the remainder of the game and also dominated statistics. The offense had a total of 270 rushing and pass- ing yards. The defense held St. Clair to 6 first downs and a total of 97

Davis had an interception with a fifty five yard return to the Jordon one yard line that set up a touchdown. The Valley Chiefs were more than happy to see the night end with a final score of 42-6 and look forward to meeting the Blue Devils again next season.
