Tryon Tigers Deliver 60th Win For Coach Neal

The 1970 Tryon Tigers delivered Coach Neal's 60th win at Tryon when they beat the East Henderson Eagles 21-6, closing out their Parkway Conference Season. Once again Ken Warrington was the star as he was responsible for all of the Tigers 21 points. Highlights from news reports:

• Tryon fullback Ken Warrington was a one man show  in leading his team to a 21-6 win.
• East Quarterback Randy Stepp was knocked unconscious in the second quarter when he fielded a punt and was hit hard.
• East coach Doyle Mintz said that Warrington was the best fullback his team had faced this year. "He's an extremely powerful runner,".

The Tigers were originally scheduled to have an open date and then close out the season at Rosman. The Rosman Tigers, who always gave Tryon fits, made the playoffs and asked to drop the game. Tryon was able to pick up a game when East Yancy agreed to play at Harmon Field, giving the seniors one last appearance at home.
