Dreher and Columbia
High have been arch rivals
since 1947 when the Blue
Devil team split off from
their parent Capitals trader
Coach J.K. Henry. In 1951,
Dreher defeated Columbia
High 40-0 for the state
championship. In 1956, the
Blue Devils under Coach Red
Myers defeated the Capitals
6-0 for the state champi-
onship. In 1957 Coach Jim
Pinkerton's Capitals defeated
the Blue Devils for the state
championship. The two
teams played in the first tele-
vised high school football
game in SC in 1961.
The game last Friday
night was typical of a
Dreher-Columbia High
game -; a knockdown
dragout struggle full of good
nmning and hard hitting.
Columbia High has
three excellent backs, two
huge middle linemen, and
some fleet-footed lineback-
ers. The Payne Boys, Chris
and Justin, and Cedric Jeff-
coat gave Dreher fits all
night. ,The 300-pounders,
D'An e Herring at middle
guard and Phillip Young at
center, firmly anchored the
Capital line.
Dreher's heralded rtm-
ner, Nick Bethea (152 yards),
and his partner-in-yardage,
Alex Ramos (87 yards), were
held in check by penalties

Robin Bacon, A.C. Flora:
,YepL 2: A.C/qara g#
M'td-Cwo//na14
Said despite losing a tough
game to Columbia the week
before and having to play on
Saturday against Mid--Caroli-
na, his kids played well. Car-
los McCoy, Sims Tompkins,
and Mo Holler were
stand-outs. On playing
Keenan next, said they spread
the ball all over the place and
i play hard defensively.
i letr Scott, lllytlaewood:
sept 1
Lo t tl3
Said he was glad to get a win
against Lamar since his team
has the pleasure of facing
RNE next. Said Blythewood's
only chance was to hope RNE
stand-out quarterback Gary
Gray takes a spontaneous Fri-
day night recruiting trip.
Brad Coleman,
Bmokland-Csyce:
Sept I : B-C 8. RNE 54
Said he thought his Bearcats
had a chance to be Competi-
tive after scoring a TD on
their opening drive against
RNE. After RNE scored four
straight, nobody played well
and the B-C trainer was
active all night. On facing
Dreher next, said the Blue
Devils are a heck of a football
team, and B-C hasn't played
particularly well at Memorial
Stadium.
KemperAmick, Columbia:
Sept1.'.
Said the game with Dreher
was typical of the last three
years - down to the end and
very physical. Joked, Justin
Payne threw his first intercep-
tion and must have liked the
feeling so he threw another
one. Said the Capitals are
dealingiwith injuries which
has not been a problem the
last few years. On facing Eau
Claire, said the Shamrocks
are 2-0 for the first time since
1972, and he expects them to
be fired up for Columbia.
John Da ,
Heathwood Hall:
Sept, I." HeaOnuoodHall 21
Christ Ctuu'eh 40
Said Highlanders jumped out
to a 14-0 lead against Christ
Church and were tied 21-21
going into the third quarter,
but Christ Church's two
returns for touchdowns were
demoralizing. Said if it could
go wrong, it did. Highlanders
have not figured out how to
win yet. On facing Lawrence
Manning next, said they
played Hammond tough, and
Hammond may just be the
best team in SCISA football
right now.
Bob Hanna, Irmo:
Sepl. 1.'Im o 21, Fark 7
Said his Yellow Jackets didn't
have the ball as much as
Dutch Fork, but they didn't
turn it over as n]uch. On fac-
ing Spring Valley next, said
Coach Noonan has the
Vikings playing hard and
Irmo is undersized compared
to them.
Demond Logan, Keenan:
Sept 1." Keenat 6
Batt, C/a/re 1#
Said he thinks his Raiders got
better as a team against Eau
Oaire, but their passing game
still needs improvement. The
Raiders were inside the 20 six
times and only got six points.
He thought his defense
played well. On facing A.C.
Flora, said they are big on
rushing the ball. Their run-
ning backs are small, but they
can play.
J.W. Montgomery;
Lower RicMand:
Sept 1 : LR 0, $ou Pointe 28
Felt his team took a step
backwards on offensive line,
but the defense played well,
especially in the second half.
Said his kids played hard and
continue to get better. On fac-
ing Northwestern next, "Yeah,
they left me with a nice
schedule."
layFrye,
Richland Nor east:
Sep I : 54, B-C. 8
Said his team came out ready
to play and capitilzed on
turnovers. Said fortunately he
got to play some young guys.
On facing Blythewood next,
"They scare me as much as
anybody on our schedule. We
are really going to have our
hands full."
Raymond Jennings,
Ridge View:.

W teI oll O
Said the game with White
Knoll was a track meet. Said
he felt his kids made a bunch
of mistakes in the second
half. His defense voluntarily
ran wind sprints after the
game. On facing Lexington
next, said their linemen pres-
ent a challenge for us.
Jimmy Noonan,
SpringValley:
Sept. 1." Spring f ley 27
Lexolgton l O
Said the Vikings' game with
Lexington was much closer
than the score showed. Said
his defense struggled to get
off the field as evidenced by
the 75 defensive plays to 33
on offense. On playing Irmo
next, "I don't have to tell you
Irmo is a talented team. Bobs
(Hanna) program has been a
standard for consistency in
Columbia."
