Carver heights High School Trojans defeated Eustis Vocational High Tigers Thursday night by the score of 39 to 2.
This was the second conference win of the young season for the Trojans. A drizzling rain could not stem the power of the charging Trojan line and the fleetfooted backs as the game got underway. With less than three minutes having expired, Hawkins, on a hand-off from Lowery, dashed 45 yards for the initial score. Then the Trojans were off. By the end of the first quarter, the game had already turned into a rout.
Eustis got its safety when the visiting Trojans team was penalized to the one-foot line for illegal use of hands, and as Moat attempted to kick out, he stepped out of the end zone. Donald Bisbee, a sophomore flash for the Trojans, kept the fans thrilled with his dazzling burst of speed and his change of pace.
The entire backfield for the Blue and Gold which comprised Lowery, Bisbee, Hawkins, Merritt, and Ward gave an excellent performance of speed, power and drive. The line play of Patterson, Lesane, Haynes, Johnson, and Mosley, was very outstanding. Eustis best backs were McKinney and Benn, while the most troublesome Tiger linesmen were Harris, Gainey, and Lucas.
Trojans 20 0 6 13 - 39
Eustis 0 2 0 0 - 2
