Moss Point's Tigers opened their 1969 season with a defeat at the hands of the MCGill Yellowjack- ets in a hard fought battle on DantZe ler Field. Even though the Tigers lost 22-6, they proved themselves to be an aggressive, and promising young squad. The first Jaeker's score came early in the first period with a field goal. Striking back quickly the Tigers were able to capture the lead as Gary Pierce scampered for a 92 yard kick-off return. The PAT at- tempt failed and Moss Point held a brief 6-3 margin. McGill tallied on an aerial after recovering a Tiger fumble on the 35. The extra point attempt proved untrue and MCGill led at half time 9-6. Moss Point held the Yellowjack- ets to only two touchdowns in the second half. The young Tigers saw inspired defensive performances from Donald Grain, Darrell Cumbest, and Jimmy Stork, while Alan Kil- gore, Jimmy Myers and Jimmy Emerson were offensive leaders. i OWERFUL ALABAMA SQUADS Fairhope's Pirates collected their 23rd consecutive regular season triumph with a convincing 3543 Victory over the Moss Point Tigers. Most of the first quarter was a defensive battle with both teams having two drives stalled. The Pirates once pushed to the Moss Point 8 before the Tiger defence jelled and took over on downs. The Tigers then took over but were unable to move. Alan Kilgore punted out of the jam by punting to midfield only to have it run back to the Moss Point 3 yard line. Two plays later Fuirhope scored and the PAT was good. Early in the second quarter, the Pirates scored, but this time Tiger fullback, jimmy Emerson, blocked the PAT which brought the score 13-0. Picking up two more touch- downs the Pirates led by a. 27-0 half-time score. In the third quarter the experienced eleven 01? Fairhope gained a two-point safety. With only 3 :21 remaining in the game, quarterback, David Rockett threw a 27 yard aerial to end, Buddy Gunn. The two-point conversion attempt failed and left the score at 35-6. Jimmy Emerson and David Roekett were offensive sparkplugs for the Tigers while Ralph Dunn and Alan Kilgore sparked the home squad's defensive secondary. BIG 8 POWERS, LAUREL, BILOXI GAIN HARD EARNED VICTORIES Fighting desperately for their initial win of the grid season, the Moss Point Tigers dropped a C1080 21-12 decision to the Laurel Tornadoes in a SoutheBig-Eight football battle. Taking advantage of two fumbles deep in Laurel territory, the Tigers were able to turn the miseues into scores to remain with- in site of Victory. Moss Point's offensive at- tack was centered around workhorse half- back, Jimmy Emerson. The junior Speedster picked up substantial yardage, but was un- able to break away from the stubborn Tornado defense for the needed big play. Laurel moved out to a quick lead, scor- ing in seven plays, alter receiving the ball on downs. Recovering a Tiger fumble at the 15 early in the second period, the Tornadoes soon held a 14-0 advantage. Late in the second quarter, Steve Clay jumped on a Laurel fumble on the invaders 3 yard line. Four plays later imerson scored from the one, narrowing the margin to 14-6. Receiving the second half kiek-off, the Tornadoes scored again after L1 73 yard drive to push the county to 21-6. Moss Point again made good of a Laurel miseue as quarterback David Rockett hit ju- nior fullback Jim McCool on a 16 yard scoring aerial. A two point conversion at- tempt failed and the final score stood at 21212. juniors Jim McCool and Jimmy Emerson led the Tiger offensive attack, while Johnny Turner and Jimmy Stork were defensive stalwarts. In a second Big 8 Conference gridiron battle, the Moss Point Tigers again found the going rough. Falling to the BiloXi Indians to the tune of 48-26, the local squad, how- ever, was able to demonstrate heretofore, unseen offensive prowess. Sophomore end, Barry Gibson was on the receiving end of several Tiger aerials and scored two of the Moss Point touchdowns. 70 hp 1 Ralph Dunn - Senior Bo Coleman - Senior 71 u? GULFPORT TEAMS PROVE FORMIDABLE FOES Culfport East's Vikings handed the Moss Point Tigers their fifth defeat in five contests October 37 as they blanked the Tiger squad 26-0. Although, Moss Point moved the ball well in open field, the going bCCame rough as they neared paydirt. Late in the second period Tiger quarterback, Alan Kilgore, threw to Joe Rogers on the Viking three, but Rogers fumbled into the end-zone where Gulfport recovered to stop Moss Point's most serious threat of the game. Gulfport's Allen Campagne sped 35 yards for the first Viking tally, which came after Moss Point's punt following the opening kickoff. Much of the yardage of that 66 yard drive is given credit to :1 Mike McCabe to Pervis McBride pass. The second TD came late in the first period when the same two Vikings teamed for a 14 yard aerial. The other two counts were added by fullback, John Bates. He reached the goal on a three yard run with 41 seconds left in the third quarter. Bate's second tally came in the fourth period with a 13 yard scamper. Gulfport High's Commodores built up :1 21-8 halftime lead and then coasted to a 35-14 victory over the Moss Point Tigers Friday night at Dantzler Field. The Commodores used :1 potent ground attack, paced by quarterback Howard McNeil and fullback James Smith to overwhelm the Tiger defense. Mc- Neil scored on runs of 20, 17, and 3 yards, while Smith rambled 29 yards SCOOping up a Tiger fumble. Culfport's other score Came on :1 56 yard punt return by Gerome Freighman. The Tigers first score Came late in the second quarter when quarterback Ralph Dunn threw to full- back Jim McCool, who broke two tackles and raced 70 yards for a touchdown. Alan Kilgore passed to Gary Pierce for the two point conversion, bringing the halftime score to 21u8. In the fourth quarter, Moss Point scored again as Kilgore tossed :1 59 yard scoring strike to Joe Rogers. The conversion attempt failed, and the final score stood at 35-14. Jimmy Myers - Senior 73 Johnny Turner - Senior HOMECOMING T70 Homecoming Game Moss Point's Tigers totaled 215 yards rushing to defeat the Picayune Maroon Tide 21-1-1. The Tigers, who went into the game with five straight defeats, produced a thriller for the fans at Moss Point's annual homecoming game. Moss Point received the opening kiek-OHT and began a 61 yard drive. The Tigers appeared headed for paydirt when the Tide's Don Bales picked off a Kilgore pass at the 2 yard line and returned it 753 yards to the Tiger 28. Six plays later the Tide held a 7-0 advantage. Later in the second quarter the Tigers marched 44 yards for their initial touchdown. The drive was highlighted by a 14 yard pass from Kilgore t0 Gunn on fourth down, and a sweep around left end by Kilgore for the score. The PAT was untrue and Picayune led by a score of 7-6. The Tigers quickly struck back as Ralph Dunn intercepted a Picayune pass at the 45 yard line 017 Picayune and sprinted down the l'ield to place the Tigers second score 011 the board, Alan Kilgore went over for the 2 point conversion and the Ti- gers took a 14-7 half-time 111d. 111 the third quarter, Picayune drove 71 yards in five plays for their second touchdown and the score stood at H L111. 011 the Ifollowing kiek-ol'f, Jimmy Emerson returned the bull to his own 44.

Defensive genius was shown by Joe Rogers, while Jimmy Emerson Lind Jim MCCOOI led the offensive. 74 TIGERS DEFEATED IN AGE-OLD RIVALRY Moss Point Tigers dropped their last game of the season to cross-town rivals Pascagoula, Fri- day 14, at Dantzler Field. The oneesided battle ended in a 42-8 Victory for the Panthers. The Tigers took the opening kiCk-off but failed to move the ball and were forced to punt. Goula then romped to an early lead of 28 points in the first quarter. Moss Point's offensive team failed to score during the entire first half. The Panth- ers added another touchdown in the second quar- ter and lead at half time 35 to 0. During the second half the Tiger's defensive team came to life and held the Panthers to one touchdown.

HEAD COACH Mr. Ronald Russum 79 SENIORS PUSH BASKETBALL Senior Leaders: James Hunter KNEELINCU Ralph Dunn Um and Kieth McArthur For any team to achieve any element of success, proper leadership must be demonstrated. Basketball prominence became evident for the first time in several years at Moss Point during the 1969-70 cage season. Much of the ascension is due to the effort, want, and achieve- ment of the three senior members. Ralph Dunn, James Hunter, and Keith McArthur demonstrated what hard work can accomplish. Under tutelage of Coach Ronald Rus - sum these boys excelled to their best achievement during this year. The excellent defensive show by Ralph Dunn, power rebounding of Hunter and aggressive clutch play of Mac Arthur will always be trademarks of the past season--reminders to underclassmen what desire can do for basketball improvement. 81 RUGGED PLAY MARKED Victories always earmark the high points of any competitive sport. 1969--197O proved no ex- ception to the patterned routine in basketball. However, the improvement and determination of the past squad furnished added thrills in narrow de- feats. Few games were decided before the final quarter of action. Of note, the Tigers led Gulfport's Big 8 Con- ference and State Champion Commodores on their home court through much of the first half. Junior guard David Ambrose gave promise of a superior Senior year to costal roundball fans as he scorched the wicket for 16 points in the initial quarter. In further rugged play, the Tigers reached the semi-finals of the Harrison Central Invitational Tournament before falling to the host team 66-57 in a hotly- controlled battle. Hank Bamhart pro- vided much of the offensive power here on long left-handed set shots. First round and quarter final Victories Were gained over St, Stanislaus and Pass Christian. Senior ace, Ralph Dunn, sparkled a team ef- fort win over George County in regular season play with a Tiger overtime triumph. Keith MC Arthur pumped in 24 points to lead the Tigers over Ocean Springs 74-51 on the Greyhounds court. Although the Tigers came up short 54-51 to Picayune' 5 Maroon Tide, James Hunter grabbed 15 rebounds and added 16 points in a fine effort. Closing season play in the District Tournament the Tigers romped Bay High 77-55 before being eliminated by the perennial power, Gulfport. Giving promise of a good future in basketball, the Moss Point 'B' Team posted a 7-6 record for the 1969- 70 season. The sophomore cagers were im- pressive in triumphs over George County, Ocean Springs, East Central, Pascagoula, and O.L.V. Costal quintets from the roundball powerhouses of Gulfport, Culfport East, 21nd Picayune were the lone defeats registered at the hands of the local cagers. William Johnston led the baby Tigers with his 2111- around play, while offensive depth was pro- vided by James meley and Tommy Shields. De- fensive leaders were Mike Rankin and Shields, while rebounding aid was furnished by A1 Brum- 1'ie1d and David Pettus.

FRED SHIRLEY Outstanding teacher of the year for 1970 is Mr. Fred Shirley, teacher, advisor and friend to the students of Moss Point High School, has filled his responsibilities to such a high degree it would be impossible to give this award to a more deserving person. His co-operative attitude, tireless efforts and projections of an influence conductive to learning have made him well qualified for this honor. Dedication, guidance and a well de- veloped learning experience have endeared him to all the stu- dents at M. P. H. S. , especially to those now leaving it and passing to a new, strange world. The ideas and Characteris- tics embodied by this teacher will remain with us the rest of our lives. Dedicating teaching requires years of preparation in education- geared programs. Each faculty member has received his degree in his area and has practiced this av- ocation. A teacher doesn't termi- nate his learning experience with the college degree. Each new day, each new face brings a novel idea. He is wise who can instruct us and can assist us in the business ofdaily virtuous living. Carlyle 110 Professional techniques are asH similatcd into the daily curriculum with patience, guidance and under- standing. The utilization of induc- tive, scientific reasoning is coupled with deductive, social understand- ing to provide a school the needed wcll-roundcd academic program.

There have been many members of the faculty, members of the administration, and friends who have certainly deserved dedication of this publication. But it is im- possible for us to choose which individual deserves it most. Therefore, the Staff proudly dedicates this, the 1970 Growler, to a group which has become a part of us, and in turn, we have become a part of it; this group is the 1970 Student Body of Moss Point Central High School.
