Tryon traveled to Edneyville (now part of North Henderson) to try and redeem themselves after a less than stellar performance against Cowpens. The task wouldn't be easy as the Yellow Jackets were led by Danny Dalton, who would later go to Western Carolina University and set school passing records, with Chuck Nix as a 205 pound running back, and with a couple of linemen weighing in at 240+ pounds. This was an issue going in to the game because we knew that Joe Covil at 137, Mike Burns at 155, and Bob Willis at 160 were not going to be able to move those guys out of the way - so - during the week preceding, we practiced shield blocks - just attempting to get between them and the ball carrier. During the game, one of Edneyville's big folks fell on Bob Willis and remarked, "I didn't hurt you did I little fella".
Anyway, the offense was still a little under performing but the Tigers managed to pull out a 6-0 win and with two Parkway Conference Wins, were now on top of the conference standings. Read the write-ups of the game by
