JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL
Self-Esteem Group
For Children Ages 8 To 10
BY JOHN PHILLIPS
Jefferson and Marshall both share
first place records of 6-2 in the PIL.
Due to the fact that Jefferson beat
marshall earlier in the season, the
Demos should win the league’s num
ber one seed in the state football play
offs, coming up in two weeks.
On Friday Marshall handed Lin
coln a 21 -0 loss, as Tom Stewart scored
two touchdowns on aone-yard run, and
caught a 27-yard pass from quarter
back Robby Buen.
Wilson upgraded their record to 5-
3, with an easy 35-12 win over up-and-
down Grant.
Franklin moved to a 4-4 record,
with a double overtime 13-7 victory
over Benson.
On Saturday Jefferson kept pace
by beating Roosevelt21-0 The Demo’s
defense has played exceptionally well
the last two weeks and just might be
the key factor when playoffs begin.
Nevertheless, it was the performance
of quarterback Mark Burke that led
Jefferson to its sixth win of the season.
Burke threw two touchdown passes t
Hakeen McCallister; one for 10 yards
and the other for 85 big yards. To top
off a good day, Burke had a run for a
two points conversion.
In another game on Saturday,
Cleveland zipped Madison 6-0.
This week’s games find Franklin
at Jefferson, Lincoln at W ilson,
Roosevelt at Madison, Cleveland
meets Benson at Civic Stadium at 6
p.m., and Marshall squares off with
Grant in the 8 p.m. game at Civic
Stadium, all games are played on Fri
day night.
