Cave Spring scored in the first quarter after Bill Alvarez sprained his ankle and John Murphy completed the drive with a G-yard pass to Glen Agee. This was with three minutes left in the quarter. With three minutes keft in the second quarter, Nichols went nineteen yards for another score. However, George Wythe took the kickoff and drove for a touchdown. In a rough third quarter, there was no scoring but George Wythe was twice penalized for illegal use of hands and one of their players was thrown out of the game. George Wythe scored again to srart the fourth quarter but Cave Sprina added another score with fifteen seconds left in the game when Conner plunged three yards for another score. Galen Conner and John Murphy added the extra points on runs. Franklin County...Og Cave Spring...O, this was the score of a hard fought game played at Rocky Mount. Bill Davis showed the class that made him All District 6 and recogni- tion at the All State Balloting. Except for his brilliance the game was a stand-off. Ronald Blancher was the stand-out for Cave Spring as his line plays helped in holding Franklin drives before they started. Joey Collins sparkled in offensive and defensive backfield in a losing effort.
