CHS Tigers bowed to heartbreaking
defeat after a hard fought battle
against the Raines Vikings in the
second game of the season.

touchdown acquired after five run-
ning plays and one first down. With
the score standing 7-0, the Tiger de-
fense came on strong stopping the
Vikings on the Tiger 8 and Nat
McCoy dumping Raines for a 15
yard loss.

Not far into the second half Eddie
Blair pounced on a Raines fumble
giving the Tigers a first and 10. Run-
ning plays by Vernon Masters and
Erman Owens, linked with a pass
from Jimmy Blanton to Willie Dor-
tley gave the Tigers another first
down at the Raines 30.

A touchdown drive began when
Blanton got off a running pass to
Willie Dortley followed by a hand-
off to Erman Owens. The strong ef-
fort ended in the following plays
when the Tiger defense broke.

sive threat after the Tiger's ill fated
r-lrive.
