SUTTON - 19 WESTON - Z5 A game that will go down in the books as a marvelous piece of work was played at Weston when the stubborn Blue Devils threw a scare into the powerful Minutemen Z5-19. Sutton's scoring featured Jerry Pierson on a 76 yard jaunt off tackle. Bill Hawkins broke away from a host of would-be tacklers and galloped 52 yards for a touchdown. The Blue Devils after leading 19 to 12 at half time, were eventually outmaned by a much larger minuteman squad. However, our boys never gave up against superior odds. SUTTON - 14 GLENVILLE - 14 With the temperature reading in the high 90's the Glenville Red Terrors were held to a 14 - 14 deadlock by the Blue Devils.
