Football Bears Stronger Than Record Indicates Winning over Stoneville 33-12, the Bears ended the season on a high note with an overall 4-6 record. The season was highlighted by a near upset of top-ranked West Montgomery as the Warriors scored on a last-second despera- tion pass. This and other close contests showed the Central fans that the Bears were better than their record indicated. A big part of Central's offense was All- Conference Lineman Joe Burke as he opened many holes for leading rushers, Darrell Moore with 647 yards and Warren Creecy with 306. They were under the direction of quarterbacks Darrell Barber and Randy Kivett. Kivett led the passing attack with 436 yards, while Barber di- rected the rushing attack. Holding down the re- ceiving end were Tommy Estridge and Danny Scott with 306 and 219 yards respectively. Leading the defense were Tommy Estridge, Randy Scott, joe Burke, Darrell Barber and Ieff Phillips. Tommy Estridge received All- Conference honors for his defensive play. Darrell Barber's record-breaking punting av- erage of 39.5 yards earned him an All- Conference berth. His longest punt equaled an outstanding 57 yards.
