Now here's what you do ... johnny Harrison manhandles a defender, as Frank Fortune carries With twelve returning lettermen from last years Con- ference Championship Team, the 1974 Varsity Yellow jackets combined excellent coaching, an exciting offense and a big-play defense to produce North Augusta's most successful season since 1961's State Championship squad. At the start the jackets had their problems, having lost many fine players from last year's team, including 10 starting linemen and one of the best backfields in the area. But Head Coach Hubert Morris made good use of his talented Seniors, and more than adequately filled the open spots. N.A.'s first opponent was Westside, and the game was never in doubt as Didier Norris streaked 70 yards on the second play of the year for a T.D. james McKie scored three touchdowns and the jackets swamped the hapeless Patriots 32-0. On their next outing, the Morris- men dealt old rival Richmond its only regular season loss, avenging last year's narrow defeat. N.A. next won a bout with Butler, both teams being scoreless until QB Pat Collins scored the lone TD in the final period. Thus, we completed our Georgia Season with a perfect slate.
