Isaac, Gaddy Lead Hornets

From the Aiken Standard, September 14, 1970

By JEFF SHANNON

Donald Gaddy rallied Aiken High to its first victory Friday night by intercepting two Butler passes for touchdowns. The Hornets went on to defeat the Bulldogs, 2.8-6. The game’s first touchdown carne on the third play of the game when halfback Levi Isaac, who scored twice last week at Richmond, broke through the right side of the Butler line and secondary, then sprinted 74 yards to score. The conversion failed due to a bad snap and a fumble. Later in the first quarter, Aiken safety man Gaddy intercepted Mike Bibee’s pass at midfield and ran it back to give the Hornets their second touchdown. Isaac’s run for the PAT was good, and the Hor nets surged ahead, 14-0. Gaddy again was the hero in the second quarter when an illegal procedure penalty against Butler made it second and 15, forcing the Bulldogs to pass. Pass they did, and Gaddy was ready as he intercepted at the Butler 23 and ran it back for his second score of the night. Isaac’s run again was good, and at the half the score stood 22-0, Aiken. Aiken’s only score in the second half came when fullback James Johnson bulled to the Butler two from the seven, thus putting the Hornets in scoring position. Halfback David Jett followed suit by plunging through the line to score. The point after attempt failed. Late in the game.
