Coach Orr's Wildcats suffered their fourth loss of the season last Friday night in a thriller, when the visiting Sanford Seminoles took advantage of some good breaks to go on and win the class, 13-0. "Bo" Ferguson's punt early in the first period was blocked by a Sanford lineman who knocked the ball into the Cat's end zone, only to be recovered by Barbour of Sanford to give the Seminoles their first tally. Conversion was good by Barbour. The other Sanford tally came with 20 second left in the fourth quarter, when once again Barbour scooted for twelve yards to the goal, up through the middle. This time the little 131 lb. halfback's extra point was wide. That's how the scoring went to spoil the Homecoming. The many threats that Sanford started were stopped well by the defense of the Cat's and getting the offense out of dutch was Frank Ferguson with his six punts for an average of thirty-six yards per punt. On the defense it was that tough Winter Park line backed up by senior, first year player, Charles Cayll. One of the finest defensive plays that Charlie has been able to perform all year was his interception of a pass on his own five yard line and returned it to the Winter Park 20 yard line, to end another threat issued out by Sanford. Charlie is nice and tall and fast on his feet. These are some of the outstanding qualities a defensive coach will look for in a good defensive halfback. Congratulations to Charlie Cayll who is this week's Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc outstanding player on defense. Next week I will again report on another "Cat"., my only hope is that next week's star is on offensive. From where I sit I feel that the defensive is coming along fine with those fast running ends plus the hard charging of the Wildcat line. Looking good in |
the
past four games on defensive maneuvers Morris, Mullins, and Ferguson. On offensive the leading ground gainer is still Myers along with Greg Holland running second. Tim Hartung and Ned Whitner are starting to prove valuable as is Bill Collier with faking and snappy hand-offs. On the offensive line it's Chan Muller, Frank Ferguson and co-captain Gene Mooney, Mike Borne, Johnny Cash and George Bridges are still looking sharp playing the end positions, as well as senior Barry Seaman. Winter Park's passing attack is below average, but this reporter believes that there is a good potential for good yardage in that area of the game. With six more games to go in the season, the school spirit is continuing to be very strong, as is the spirit of the out-of-school school fans. It is rare that one finds the Wildcat student body without great enthusiasm for the present game or for the game to follow. In this, case the game or for the game to Cocoa at Cocoa. The field is located just off the main highway to Cocoa, just inside the city limits. We can expect a team with both a ground attack as well as a fairly proven air attack. Winter Park will be out to claw the skin off Cocoa's back to avenge last year's meeting. It's always a good game between "usin's" and "those." Those of you who attended the Wildwood vs. Winter Park game will recall the play when Frank Ferguson picked up a Wildwood fumble and started down field for the score only to be tripped up by a Wildwood back. Well what you probably didn't remember is that two plays later Frank came off the field complaining that his head hurt. Coach Mosher's analysis was simple and very, very true. "Frank," he said, "you just aren't used to running the ball that far or that fast all at once." The statement was never any truer. |
