Hank Murphy plunges through the line for a gain as Dwight Hopkins blocks. The King High Lions staged a roaring 5— 4—1 game average for the year crushing many of the top Western Conference teams. Against Oak Ridge, Senior Terry Hinton scored once in both halves to take the game 12 to 0. Flic Big Red presented the football prob- lem Hank Murphy liked to handle. Losing by 6 to 0 at half-time, Hank along with Alan Thomas, made the final score 19 to 13. Still feeling the effects of last year’s humilia- tion, our Lions were determined to stop the Dreadnaughts. After four dramatic periods of play the final score remained 0 to 0. Victorious over Brandon by a 20 to 0 mar- gin, we continued to hold our lead in the Western Conference. Each scampering to pay- dirt ; Bob Fisher, Stacy Payne, and Alan Thom- as evaded the opposing defense unit to stage the second shutout of the year. Bob Fisher rushes around «he end for a seven yard gain. 164

King’s alert defense surrounds a determined halfback. Wayne Waller charges after Plant’s quarterback. Beautiful strategic plays led by Stacy Payne proved too much for the sputtering Dragons. Eluding the opposition, Payne pounded his way into the end one. End Jimmy Moore scored on a pass from Hank Murphy to boost the score to a final 14 to 0. Teaming together, Raymond Johnson and Terry Hinton pre- sented Plant another setback. Ray- mond, galloping for 45 yards, easily penetrated the end one to draw the first blood against the Panthers. During the last four minutes of play Terry Hinton scored on a one yard spin off tackle to take the game 14 to 8. Although the Lions lost their last four tilts, this did nothing to blem- ish their best season. The outlook for next year’s season is bright with the prospect of a fine team.
