Jw Troup Co. 34-6 The defense again kept WA perched atop the AA rankings with Archer still out of the game against Troup Co. Fill- ing in as quarterback were Scott McGregor and Terry Nelson. McGre- gor hit Reid Trimble on a seven-yard scoring strike and found Joe Fitzhugh for a 29-yard touchdown. Nelson hit Fred Thompson on a nine-yard score. Fitzhugh broke loose for a 22-yard scamper and Chuck Templeton found the end zone from four yards out. It was a great game for Fitzhugh. Warren Davis and David Nelms each came away with pass interceptions. Collins: I4-0 The 8-O War Eagles had been rated co-favorites for the 4-AA south title with Fayette Co. before the season had started, clinched the crown with a I4-O win over M.D. Collins. The title was a hard fight for the Eagles against a tough Collins. At the half the score was O-O. Archer was inserted in the game in the third quarter and set up an offense for a 27-yard Reid Trimble field goal. Trimble again enjoyed an- other fine game as linebacker. Archer climaxed the drive with a one-yard run and handed off to Joe Fitzhugh for two-point conversion that gave WA the final win. Fayette Co.: 0-6 Part of the game is learning to lose, but to lose is a shock can be a great pain to a great team. The Tiger's de- fense repeatedly turned away WA's attempted drives. Scott McGregor played all the way while Archer still- recuperating watched from the side- lines. Fortunately, the contest meant nothing as far as the 4AA South race was concerned. The score: 0-6. Jordan: I 7-0 Jordon of Columbus came a long way to Woodward to suffer defeat. The Ea- gles had recovered from the shock with Fayette Co. and had regained their good fortune. The score was an impressive I7-O. Th- victory of Jordan meant Woodward's going to the playoffs against Marist.

Sw., L-fl I I Westminster. 28-0 Woodward soundly defeated arch- rival Westminster in what was sup- posed to be a close match by a score of 28-O. The Atlanta Constitution had ranked WA No. 2 and the Journal had ranked WA No. l in Class AA. WA held the Wildcats to IO2 yards total offense and just six first downs. David Archer completed 92 yards rushing on I2 car- ries, 52 yards passing on three of three completions, two touchdowns on runs of eight and 22 yards. and two punt returns for 88 yards. Yancey Langston, Chuck Templeton, David White, Reid Trimble and others led the defense that limited Westminster to 22 yards rushing on 23 carries for the game. Other notables were Tim Barden, Ron- nie Henggeler, and Joe Fitzhugh. St. Pius: 28-0 Again led by Archer, the Eagles shut out Pius 28-O. The Southside Sun ran headlines: Boring Woodward Rolls Again, Looks To Henry. In the first half alone, WA had 78 yards rushing and H29 passing. Coach Hixon stated, Our defense did a real fine job, of course, Pius had their number one quarterback out, but they didn't make the mistakes that they did in their first three games. He further stated, I don't think we've played a really good football team yet. Henry Co.: 27-7 WA triumphed over Henry Co. in McDonough with a 27-7 score with Archer passing for two touchdowns and a two-point conversion. Joe Fitz- hugh scored the first touchdown on a IO-yard run in the first quarter. Archer passed 29 yards to Reid Trimble in the second and then hit Fitzhugh for two points. Archer struck again in the second. passing 25 yards to Terry Nel- son, Chuck Templeton got the final TD on a one-yard run in the fourth. Lakeshore 7-0 David Archer had been injured in the Henry Co. game, however, the Ea- gles revealed that without their star player they still were a team fit for all seasons. The doomsday prophets had overlooked the Eagles' defense. Out- standing players against the Lancers were captain Ronnie Henggeler. Reid Trimble, Joe Fitzhugh, and the quarter- back in reserve that helped save the day. Scott McGregor. 4752 W. ,.,.., . 7 Footballf95
