Earlier in the year Guntersville had downed the 21 0 and with the scoreboard reading 18 0 at halftime it appeared the second meeting might turn into a rout It to be however as the Wildcats came out and totally dominated the second halt Guntersville scored all its points on pass plays with the third TD coming eight seconds before intermission While the Gunters ville offense was controlling the ball and scoring points thedefense was shutting down Scottsboro liniitifig the Wildcats to 30 yards and recovering two fumbles Whatever Coaches Rupert Wright and Steve Johnson said at halftime must have gotten their players attention because the second half was a totally different ballgame The turnaround started with the opening kickoff when the Wildcats caused and recovered a fumble deep in Guntersville territory The first Scottsboro points came a few plays later when Mark Wooden (Walloovannfiold daubiand tripW roil pduga iMCMk sot mdabia la all Kona Ooa4ut nAtndudad) Dale Dupree (28)

jaunt to paydirt with Chris Shrader and Brad Blume furnishing key blocks to break the runner into the secondary Again PAT was good and the Wildcats were within four points During most of the fourth quarter neither teams moved the ball consistently and it appeared time would expireon the Wildcats With less than two minutes remaining and the ball 46 yards from the end zone Wright called for a halfback pass It looked for a minute as though Harkness would be trapped and thrown for a loss while looking for his receiver Eluding a would be tackler at the line of scrimmage Harkness raced down the sideline then cut back through a number of Guntersville defenders and ran untouched into the end zone Shrader came through again with a terrific block near the goal line to clear the way for the score ollowing PAT the Wildcats finally had the lead at 21 18 Everyone knew that Gunters ville would go to the air after the kickoff but the Wildcat defense rose to the occasion and Bobby Rollins
