Parkwood game . . MHS regained The Roi S. Wood spirit trophy this year by defeating the Parkwood Bears 14-10. The Bruins showed a strong offensive attack, completely dominating the first half, but the strong Memorial defense held the Bears to only 2 points. The Eagles burst into a 7-2 lead on a 92-yard runback by Bobby Joe Mingo on the second half kick-off and an extra point boot by Jay Ditt- man with 15 seconds gone in the second half. The Bears then took the ball 70 yards in 10 plays for a touchdown. Their 2-point conver- sion made the score 10-7 in their favor with 10:08 left in the game. A 60-yard, fourth quarter drive, culmi- nated by a juggling catch by Gary Aggus, was then executed by the Eagles. This put the Eagles out in front by a score of 14-10.
