Mulldogs ' Dump Smith in Season Opener ) The Terry Sanford Bulldogs kicked off their 1968 season in high style with a convincing 29-0 victory over E. E. Smith. The game was the first between the two cross town teams and su y started a long lasting rivalry. The Sanford High Bulldogs turned the enthu- siastic game into a rout. The defense stopped the highly touted Smith offense, which scored 66 points against New Bern in their season opener, allowing them only 101 total yards gained. The Bulldog’s offense, led by Kenny Garrett and Randy Thomp- son, was the punch that finally knocked out the sur- prised Golden Bulls. The total yardage gained was over 300 yards. The sellout crowd of over 10,000 was preparing for a defensive struggle before Kenny Garrett raced off-tackle 34 yards for the Bulldogs’ initial touch- down. Minutes later Garrett took an Andy Burch pass and picked his way through the Smith sec- ondary for a 54 yard touchdown. After the intermission Randy Thompson took over, highlighting two long touchdown drives with touchdowns. The game had many other heroes as the whole team gave a glistening performance. Lance Kittleson, Sanford high kicking specialist, was a key factor in many games. J 54 Kenny Garrett kicks off the ’68 season with the first touchdown.

bulldogs Succumb to WHsoh Wilson’s defending 4-A Champions turned back the Bulldogs by a score of 14 to 0. Early in the second stanza, Bulldog speedster Ken Garrett was sidelined after reinjuring an ankle in- jured in the opener with Smith. As the Bulldog air strategy became weak, an interception swiftly resulted in a Cyclone TD. A total of six interceptions killed off any chances the Sanford squad might have had in staging a comeback. In virtually every stage of the action the Cyclones outdid the Bulldogs as they reeled off 17 first downs to the locals 11 and netted 247 total offensive yards to Sanford’s 215. From the Wilson game until the end of the season the Bulldogs were plagued by a loss of personnel. For one reason or another four Bulldog starters saw little or no action in the remaining games. A Wilson halfback is stopped from behind by Bulldog linebacker Rit ' ky Jenkins. Quarterback Andy Burch awaits the referee’s decision.
