Team determination on the part
of the Junior High School Irish
spelled defeat for the Wheeler
Colts on Thursday of last week.
The Little Irishmen’s defense
relaxed with only one second left
in the first half of the game and
a fleet, Colt halfback, wearing a
gold 30 on his black Jersey, scooted
across the goal line to put Wheeler
ahead of the green and white clad
lads.
This same defense came back in
the second half determined to con-
tain these speedsters from the
county seat. The defense tightened
and grew more vicious as the hand
on the clock moved around. With
only 12 seconds left in the game
And Wheeler with the ball and
seemingly goalward bound, the de-
fense in the form of Champ Davis
recovered a fumble and the Irish
again came out on top in the
scoring department.
The two teams were evenly
matched in size and spirit, Wheeler

had many good players including
speedster Mac Lewis, wearing No.
30, and lads wearing Nos. 40 and 10.
Hardin, Neavilie, K. Williams,
Sherrod, Henry and Moore did
some fine defensive work for the
Irish, while Moore, Sherrod, Lowe
and Williams sparkled on offense.
The Little Irishmen soon found
that the Colts had come to play
ball, and the local lads were be-
hind 8-0 at the end of the first
quarter. Nothing went well for
the Irish in that initial stanza,
but the play of the game sparked
that flame of desire and the boys
decided they would win. From that
time on, they exhibited a fierce
desire to play rugged, fast moving
ball game.
The Irish gathered a total of 292
yards rushing behind the bruising
running of Mike Moore and Mitch-
ell Sherrod.
The second quarter saw Kelly
Williams direct a Moore-Sherrod
drive BO yards for the first Sham-
rock score. Sherrod carried the ball
over and Moore ran the two points.
These two boys, at times, had three
and four Wheeler players On them
before they could be stopped.
Kelly Williams kicked off to the
13-yard line and Wheeler moved
to the 50 before they were forced
to punt. Sherrod took a partially
blocked punt on the 40, but the
Irish only moved 15 yards before
they were forced to punt
Mark Young got off a 20-yaro
punt to the 25, and from there
Wheeler went on to score their
second TD with only one second
remaining in the first half to make
the half-time score, Wheeler 14.
Shamrock 8.
Starting the second half, Wheeler
kicked off to the Shamrock 25, with
Williams taking the ball. Kelly
again guided a Moore-Sherrod
drive with the surprise running of
Andy Lowe adding extra yards to
score another touchdown. This time
Mike Moore carried the ball into
the end zone and Mitchell ran the
two points to make the score.
Shamrock 16, Wheeler 14
It was an evenly matched con-
test during the fourth quarter with
the stout defense holding true. A
pleasant surprise in this quarter
was the running of Johnny Elix.
Johnny picked up a badly needed
12 yards in midfield to help the
Irish control the bail and run out
the clock. The game ended with
Champ Davis falling on the ball to
give the Irish their second victory
in as many tries. I
