Led by Jimmy Spence, the Lighteredknots routed VWnns- boro 38-0 in what Coach Sam Sloan termed a fantastic team effort. Against Brookland-Cayce, Eddie Baker came up with a key interception to halt a Bearcat drive. Eddie Davis completed a touch- down pax in the last three minutes of the game to claim a 6-0 victory. ln their 24-12 loss to Airport, me Lighteredknots reached the seasonis peak of effort.
