Harris 47-6 On October 17th, the War Eagles played against Harris County in thei r first sub-region game. Unlike other War Eagle victories, this contest was not very exciting. As Coach Hixon commented after the game, We dressed out 35 players and played them all. On the defensive side of the game, John Bazemore, Thomas Cooper, Howard Delashmit and Jerome Rossetti all played outstandingly which limited Harris County to only six points. Offensively, Duane Carter, Mike Chance, Roger McFarlin, and Bill Archer each ran for one touchdown. Leading scorer was Geoffrey Rhue who ran for two touchdowns. Adding to the score was Jim Olsen who threw a touchdown pass to Bryan Turner. Last but not least, kickers Thomas Cooper and Charlie McNash added three and two points respectively. Henry 49-0 By halftime in this totally offensive game. Woodward Academy led 21-0. Scoring in the first half were Bill Archer and Bryan Turner. In the second half, the flying War Eagles could not be stopped as John Pemberton, Tim Murry, Roger McFarlin and Jim Olsen all scored, making the total and final score 49-0. However, the awesome Woodward defense played as well, if not better than the offense, destroying every hope of a Warhawk score. Troup 28-0 Coach Hixon expected a much harder contest than that which he received at Troup County. The 28-0 Woodward Academy victory could be called a complete shutout. Scoring that night were Bill Archer, Duane Carter, and John Pemberton. Not much can be said about this lopsided Woodward Academy victory except that it provided a vacation for the Eagles.
