The 1967 football season was highlight- ed by Denman’s winning the junior high con- ference championship with a 2-1-1 record. After being tied 7-7 in their opener with Brookhaven and being defeated 20-12 by Natchez, the Baby Tigers came back to overpower Brookhaven 13-0 and Natchez 27-0. In the 13-0 win over Brookhaven, Den- man scored in the third quarter on a 35 yard pass from QB lke Thrash to WB Steve Price. The Baby Tigers added seven more points in the fourth quarter on a 30 yard run by TB Mike Anderson for the TD. The PAT effort was good on a pass from Thrash to end Joe Blailock. In their finest effort of the year the Baby Tigers avenged an earlier defeat and con- quered Natchez 27-0. Denman took a 2-0 lead when ends Joe Blailock and Robin Lambuth blocked a Natchez punt in the end zone. Thrash scored a short time later from ten ya rds out after a 35 yard drive. Ander- son ran for the PAT. In the second quarter Bill Robinson intercepted a Natchez pass and went for the TD.
