The Yellow Jackets went on a rampage Friday night by taking the Buccaneers to the tune of 20-0. The outweighed Yellow Jackets took advantage of every break, and racked up a major Northeast Conference victory.
The Buccaneers tried their T formation and shift but had to use power to break through the Yellow Jacket's forward wall. The Jackets had to use great deception and speed to get through the hard rushing Daytona line. The score was early in the game. After a long march by the Buccaneers Mathews intercepted a pass on about the one yard line, and ran the distance to pay dirt. The kick by Gilchrist was good and the score was 7-0. This was the only score during the first period of the game.
In the second quarter, Broadway, after an exchange of punts, took the ball and doing a beautiful piece of broken field running, made the second tally. The kick again by Gilchrist was good putting Leeburgs ahead 14-0. No more score was made that period.
During the half, the L.H.S. band put on a drill. They made a D for Daytona, L for Leesburg, U.S.A. and a football.
The third period was scoreless with the teams in a punting duel. Leesburg getting the edge, put the ball back deep in the Daytona territory. The fourth quarter Mathews again took a very poor punt on the Buccaneers' 30 yard line and shaking off three tacklers, got behind some interference and ran for pay dirt. The kick by Gilchrist was wide and the score stood Leesburg 20, Daytona 0.
Daytona was a constant threat to the Yellow Jackets with Hogan leading the Buccaneers. Hogan was stopped by the great defensive plays of the Jackets. This strong forward wall consisted of Newman, Baxter, McCammon, Tyre, Carlton, Trumm, Teeter, Littleton, and the Gilchrist brothers (Stu doing some fine kicking). During the last quarter all the substitutes got to see action.
Daytona was getting desperate at the last and took to the air. Little Joe Lee got his hands on one to give Leesburg the possession of the ball when the game ended.
In the T formation with Drake doing great work at quarterback, Mathews, Harvey, Broadway and Bennett, gave the Buccaneers an unpleasant time trying to stop them. Playing like this will help the Jackets out in the conference race.
The line up was
Leesburg: Carlton LE, McCammon LT, Trumn LHall, Gilchrist C, Teeter RG, Baxter RT, Newman (C) RE, Drake QB, Mathews LHb, Broadway RHb, Harvery FB,
