In front of a large, rain soaked, homecoming crowd, the Tryon Tigers made quick work of the Salem Tigers with 37 first half points and went on to a 51-18 victory. Of course, this was after pre-game festivities where Susan Rutledge was named homecoming queen by a vote of the student body and Rhonda Williams was named Miss Tiger by a vote of the football team.
This game also showcased a couple of senior football players, Mike Leonard and Bobby Dempsey, who joined Stuart Williams and Ken Warrington with a lot of offensive firepower.
From press reports:
- Tryon continued to show that it deserves a place in the top ten after having been virtually ignored for the first month of the season. It registered its second straight win and moved to 5th place.
- Judy Hutcherson, Muriel Johnson, Susan Rutledge, and Lisa Stone were the seniors on the homecoming court.
- This was to be senior night (it was the last scheduled game, but the schedule got changed afterwards). It was to be the last game for the following seniors: Michael Burns, Joe Covil, Bobby Dempsey, Mike Leonard, Jim Vining, Ken Warrington, Stuart Williams, Bob Willis, Susan Rutledge (cheerleader), Cathey Early (band) and majorettes Judy Hutcherson and Bunny Henson.
- Tryon's victory was spearheaded by fullback Ken Warrington who notched four touchdowns and kicked one extra point.
- The Tigers tallied three times in the first quarter on an opening play pass from halfback Mike Leonard to halfback John Mize for 60 yards and two of Warrington's jaunts for three and 30 yards.
