voters in the area.

line of scrimmage. Dodson
completed five of nine passes
for 58 yards, two touchdowns
and he scored one himself.
Ira Harris, Eugene
Johnson, Victor Pena, Mike
English, Juan Flores and Ray
Radcliff make up the line.

fine job containing Haskell.

able to hold off Haskell.

came in the second quarter
when Ray Dodson threw to
Mike Godfrey in the end zone.
Ray Radcliff kicked the extra
point.
The second touchdown

The Paducah Dragons have
excellent potential with backs
that could break at any time.
Their size and speed are
average, but could develop at
any time. They have an
outstanding back in Danny
Garrett, a junior at 160
pounds. He runs or throws the
ball for about 75 percent of
their downs. The Paducah
team has not shown a lot of
power thus far this year, but
with nothing to lose and
everything to gain, the
Hornets can expect a Dragon
team with a lot of spirit and
determination, the coaches
warned.
