Waverly 9-0-0 versus Jackson 9-0-0.
Final score 14-14 tie.
Bill Pekala where ae you ?
How exactly did that one end? I remember hearing about it, but was one team threatening to score right at the end or did one team score to tie it?
Ironman02,
The score was 14 all when Jackson stopped Waverly on the one foot line on a fourth and goal as time was expiring in the game. Jackson led 7-0 at the first break, Waverly led 8-7 at half, Jackson went up 14-8 in the third and
Waverly tied in at 14 in the fourth.
Jackson was led by Darrel<?> Vallentine in the backfield and one of the seeming endless supply of Stockmeister men on the line. Probably one of the bigger crowds at Jackson maybe going back to some of the Wellston games
in the 1950's.
I remember the game as being very well played by both teams and perhaps the tie score was fitting as neither team deserved to lose.
This game was the last of a stretch where Waverly compiled an undefeated streak of 24-0-2. The next season
marked Waverly's ill fated entry in to the SEOAL and heralded fourty three years of relative football mediocrity
(yes Coach Bolin did have some great teams mixed in those years).
I am sure the resident Waverly historian John Knight can expound on the details of the game.
