Hornet’s Levi Isaac Star Of The Night

By R. JEFFRY SHANNON Staff Correspondent COLUMBIA –

Halfback Levi Isaac was the star of the night, and his two touchdowns scored in the 27-14 defeat of the Booker T. Washington Tornadoes moved him in to second place of the top scorers in the CSRA, behind Glenn Hill’s Ronnie Odell’s 70 points. The 12 points put Isaac up a notch at 34, just above ARC’s Harvey Shepherd’s 30 tallies. Aiken Head Coach John Socha is extremely pleased and proud of his senior halfback. He Commented, “Levi is a real fine football player.” Socha is also noticeably proud of the rest of his team for their performance in Columbia Friday night. “David Jett had a good a night as any back I’ve seen.” he said. Assistant Coach Phillip Chewning added, “I can see that we are making headway with the offensive line.” Bill Rhinehart played a great game for his first varsity- outing, and the entire offensive line of which he is a part was given the roses by the coaching staff. Socha Commended the entire offensive squad for their fine effort. “They played just great” Socha said. “The total effort of the squad was much improved over last week.” The defense also played up to the fine precedent that they set for themselves two weeks ago in the Airport game. “Defense played a fine game, especially the secondary. Paul Chandler, Gary Simmons, Warren Hall, and Donald Gaddy. Also, Paul Sumner and Fred Edeburn played a fine game on the defensive line.” John Weber, the Hornet’s backup punter outdid himself Friday, as Coach Chewning said, “I’m real pleased with Weber’s punting.” with the em- phasis on “real pleased”. The second stringers dominated the third quarter and then they went back in again after a rest at the beginning of the fourth. “They started out shakily, but came back strong the second time they went in,” Socha said. “At first, it looked like maybe we were too quick in putting them in. They started making mistakes and weren’t charging like they were supposed to.” he added, “they played a lot better the second time they went in.” The rule of hand in the Socha battle plan is “minimize your mistakes.” Socha feels that the Hornets did this Fridav.
