It had been a long time - Tryon did not beat a rival during the 1969 football season. Landrum's visit to Harmon Field was met with much anticipation. In what was probably a turn around for the season, the game was literally over mid-way through the first quarter. The Tigers completely dominated the Landrum Cardinals and went on to a 42 to 6 victory. You can read the newspaper clips of the game by clicking here.
The Asheville paper had this to say, "although plagued with inexperience and a lack of size (Tryon), are according to head coach Elmo Neal, "displaying plenty of hustle and putting out 100 per cent this year." Tryon is 3-1 and leading the Parkway Conference with two league victories.
The Tigers backfield is led by 165-pound hard running fullback Ken Warrington who is the teams leading ground gainer. Neal also cited the Tryon defense as doing a good job. "They put us in position to score three times against Landrum and allowed only 2 of 15 passes to be completed for 8 yards", noted Neal.
