On a stormy and windy night
in Quitman, the Rains Wildcats
defeated the Quitman Bulldogs
for the third undefeated season
in school history. Last week I
said that there would be more
this week about that. I wrote
that Rains was undefeated in
1963. Somehow in the transla-
tion it came out in the paper as
1969. That was a mistake. The
’69 Wildcats went 8-1-1 as
they won the District 18-A
crown.
The 1962 and ’63 Wildcats
had 10-0 records. Both years
they were defeated by Jeffer-
son in Bi-District. In ’62 the
score was 12-6, in ’63 it was
6-0. The 1969 Wildcats tied
Paul Pewitt 7-7, but the Brah-
mas advanced on penetrations.
The 1991 Wildcats were
13-AAA co-champions with
Mt. Vernon. Mt. Vernon went
into the playoffs as the
number-one seed. The Wild-
cats were defeated in Bi-Dis-
trict by Hooks 10-0.
The 1992 Wildcats went to
the playoffs as runner-up in
District 10-AAA. Commerce
was the District Champ. The
Wildcats were defeated in Bi-
District in the last few minutes
on a long pass-and-run play by
Gainesville 14-10.
The game Friday night was
delayed once in each half be-
cause of weather and once in
the second half because of a
power outage. The Wildcats
moved the ball in the first quar-

Love Fund For
Steve Spence
A love fund has been
established for Steve Spence at
the First National Bank in
Emory to help pay for exten-
sive hospital and medical ex-
penses.
Steve is in serious condition
in the hospital in the I.C.U.
unit due to injuries received in
a car accident several years
ago, that almost took his life.
Because of the injuries and
health problems related to the
accident, Steve is unable to get
any insurance to carry him, so
therefore, he has no insurance
coverage at all.
