Cadets, Panthers, and Angoms Fall PTQ1 After neatly handling College Park and Roosevelt, the Golden Lions again proved to be victorious as they routed the Sandy Springs Panthers, 7-0, in their first 5AA Region victory of the 1967 campaign. The lone Lion score was set up late in the fourth period as tackle -lim Arnett pounced on a Panther fum- ble at midfield. A 37 yard pass from Bill deGolian to end Mike Farrell moved the ball to the two. DeGolian plowed over guard Mike Cassidy for the score and Greg Blake's kick for the extra point proved successful. Defense was the key word as Sandy Springs was held to only 48 yards rushing. Standouts were Gary Tkac, Jim Arnett, who blocked two Panther punts, and Jack Cam- mack, who intercepted two Panther aerials. For his excellent play, linebacker David Beavin received Line- man of the W7eek Award, which was presented by the Atlanta TD Club. Two weeks later, the Lions ventured on a road trip to Adams Stadium for an engagement with the Clarkston Angoras. The night proved to be eventful for both teams. The Angoras became the Hrst team to score on the stub- born Nerd defense, while the offense ran up their highest total of the season. The Lions drew their first blood early in the opening quarter as Greg Blake dove across the golden strip to climax an 80-yard drive. Seconds later, Joe Pelt exploded through the Angora secondary to provide spectators with a show of speed and agility, and a 78 yard TD run. Also in the scoring column were Steve Morgan and Bill de- Golian. The Lions kept their victory drive alive for the fol- lowing weeks by shutting out City League Walter George 26-0, and upending Mfalker in the homecoming gamer, 33-O.
