Highlights:
The Alabama
Christian Eagles had only won 3 games in their previous 5 years of
varsity football. However, in 1981,
the Eagles righted their ship on the way to a 9-1 season, their only
loss
to Montgomery Academy costing them a worst to first shot in
the state playoffs, and they concluded their season at home with a
convincing 28-7 win over the Trojans, who ended their season
1-9. The Trojans actually led in the game, driving nearly the
entire length of the field on their first drive, with Wyatt Evans
scoring
from 2 yards out. However, Joel Best's passing, and the rushing
combination of Andrew Yates (141 yards) and Mike Newton (78 yards), a
majority of the 315 yards on the ground churned out by ACA,
basically wore down the Trojan defense the remainder of the game.
Newton and Philippe Cyr caught touchdown passes for the
Eagles.
