H E R N AN DO Tampa Bay Tech 6 Hernando High 41 Tampa Bay journeyed to Brooksville to t-ake on Hernando. After two straight victories and in second place in the conference Tech needed the game. Hernando opened the score. Big Blue was not to be taken easily as they marched for a 62 yard drive. The clincher was a beautiful run by Mike Mitchell, as he dipped and dodged for a 51 yard scamp. A 150 yard rushing game was wiped out by four unbelievable intercep- tions and Hernando turned them into scores. xffi 103
