Clayton Mohle, outstanding Leg gett passer, spelled the difference in the game’s offense. Mohle gained valuable yardage several times on a pass or run option. The Leggett ground game was spear headed by the fine running of half back Creighton Maynard. Mitchell Hall galloped to a 13-6 win over Puryear with most of the scoring honors going to Clayton Wilcox who passed for both Mitchell touchdowns. The first score came on Wilcox’s short pass to Junior Haley. The second tally came when Wilcox hit Bunk Chris tie who scampered 30 yards to pay dirt. Samuel Wachel rang up Pur- year’s lone tally. Maroon Band eked out a one penetration win over A-AAA in the day’s most evenly matched game. Neither team managed to cross the double-stripe. Quarterback C. J.
