East Central's Micah Hazelwood threw for three touchdowns a week ago to whip the heavily-favored Wildcats. His final TD toss went for 45 yards to Bruce McGee in the fourth period to pull out the win. "It was a total team effort and came after our boys worked real hard to get ready for the game," said the Warrior mentor.

C Up front, East Central will have McGee or Tony Baker at split end, Early Clemons at left tackle, Scott Quiesenberry at left guard, Ken Wallace at center, Paul Tatum at right guard, Mike Mason a t right tackle and Joe Douglass at - tight end. Defensive specialists include Jerry Gallaspie and Fred Lyons a t ends; Kyle Callahan and Paul Reed at tackles; Lamar Cheatham a t nose guard; Bob Yarbrough, Raymond Alley and Jessie Judson at linebacker and Eddie Goss, Jay Jones and Bernard Lee in the secondary.
