West Jefferson
Takes 20-7 Game
From AshviIIe'rs

West JefferSons Routh Riders
proved they can live up to their
name as they threw Ashville for a
20-7 loss in the Darby Valley
League game played at West JEFF.
ferson Friday night And the vic
tory gives the riders a better than
even chance to hand a defeat to
Madison South in the Homecoming
game scheduled for Friday eve
ming.
Again in the Ashville game West
Jefferson's Dick Crompton proved
just what people have been saying
about him all season that he
is one of the best players in the
league. He continues to throw the
opponents for heavy losses, and
will probably be listed as the most
valuable player in the league when
the seasons records are checked
this fall.
Held scoreless for three periods,
the Ashville team finally managed
to sneak through pass late in the
game to account for their only
touchdown of the game. They also
made good on the conversion.
In the first period of the game
Les Braithwaite scored on six
yard run for the first West Jeffer-,
son touchdown, and the only score
of the period. His play climaxed a
fifty-five-yard rush when Jim

Madison South Is
Victim OF Strong
Mt. Sterling Team

Coach John Henn'S Mt. Sterling
gridders made their homecoming
game a success Friday evening as
they handed Madison South a bit
ter 1877 defeat before a crowd Of
cheering fans, especially the fans
supporting Mt. Sterling The Madi-
son South fans were not as happy
as they could have been.
Madison South's Jim Satterfield
struck paydirt first during the
first quarter but failed to make
the extra point and led at the end
of the first quarter by a 60 score.
In the second period of the game
Mt. Sterling's Bob Stokes made a
three-yard plunge for the touch
down that tied the score, and left
it that way for few minutes after
the conversion failed. Walter Pack
er then pulled down a thirty-yard
pass from Roger Heise and went
for the winning touchdown, leaving
a scoreless second half for the grid
followers.
On the ground Mt. Sterling rack
ed up two hundred-twelve yards
in fifteen first downs while Madi-
son South accounted for one hun
dred fifty-two yards in ten first
I downs. The Mt. Sterling club hit
for ten of fifteen passes to gain
one hundred two yards in the air
while Madison South mustered two
of seven to rack up thirty-five
yards.
Madison South lost the ball three
times on fumbles, but pulled back
as Mt. Sterling lost twice on their
fumbles. Mt. Sterling intercepted
two of the Madison South passes to
add to the irritation.
This Friday Mt. Sterling faces
Jonathan Alder in a battle on the
Jonathan Alder field while Madi-
son South is host to West Jeffer-
son in the Madison South Home
coming game. Both games are in
the Darby Valley League sched-
ule.
