At least last year Spartansburg gave Youngsville a run for the money with a playoff and all but there even any of that this season. It was just Youngsville. The Eagles lost only three; games in regular season play, I none of them in the league. They made it into the Class play- offs but lost their first outing to Mercer, knocking them out of the running. Youngsville's track season was less than what some people ex -1 pected with the loss side of the 1 column overweighing the win side.

The second time was in the Section II track when they lowered the record to 3:33.6, seven-tenths of a second off the Section record. The Dragons finished a close third in the Section meet. Junior Lany Jordan broke the pole vault record several times, the first time in the Warren-Cony duel meet. He set a Section II rec-ord in the event vaulting 117. Teammate Chuck Armstrong vaulted the same height but.

the record went to Jordan on fewer misses. Lany then worked his way into the state meet at Penn State by placing second in the District 10 meet in Meadviile. He missed fifth place at states by one miss. His present record stands at 1214. The third record to fall by the wayside was in the high jump where Gary Holcomb cleared 5-11, one inch better than the old mark.

Six plays later the Panthers had a 7-0 lead. The second Panther score came in the second quarter when Pine Valley picked off a Knight pass on the 50. Again, six plays later, they scored. That ended the scoring for both teams for the season. During the season, the Knights play what could be termed football, with one outstanding long, zigzagging runner this year, Walters competed in the 880, Shaffer in the 440 and Ross Valone in the mile.

Capped by 33 yard run, it took Sheffield only eight plays to score once the second half opened. Sophomore Herb Means scored the PAT. Hall scored in the fourth quarter after the Wolverines recovered a Youngsville fumble. Emporium, the traditional Sheffield jinx, failed to do any jinxing this season as the Wolverines romped to their biggest margin of the season in a 43-6 victory. Bulicz was the star of the day scoring four touchdowns while Means added two and Me Guire one.

It started with McGuire running 52 yards for a tally on the first offensive play of the game and never stopped. Sheffield scored 12 points in the second period, 12 more in the third and 13 in the fourth for good measure. Tom McDonald scored the only PAT oi the day on a pitchout. Emporium scored in the middle of the fourth period with bench cleared. The passing attack was a big factor in their 39: 13 victory over Kor; bar fired two touchdown passes with sophomore hurler McDon- aid adding another.

The balance I of the scoring came on runs by 1 Hall, Bulicz and McGuire, who also scored on a touchdown pass. Throughout the game Sheffield threw only six passes completing four but three were good for touchdowns.
