Coaches: Bobby Wilson, Sidney Lanier and John Meadows, Butler
Game: Played Friday November 24, 1967 at Cramton Bowl, Montgomery
Summary: Sidney Lanier won the Class 4A state title for the second consecutive season by beating Butler 20-0 in Montgomery.
Before a crowd estimated to be 9,000 the Poets would dominate on
defense. Butler's only scoring threat would come in the second
quarter when they moved the ball to the Poet's two yard line but
could not score in four plays.
Lanier quarterback, Buddy Mesaris
threw a 52 yard touchdown pass to Scott Gilderstedt for Lanier's
first score early in the third period. Mesaris would also
connect with Sonny Cone for a 5 yard touchdown pass later in the
same quarter. Rusty Chumley scored the final points on a 8 yard
run in the final stanza to close out the scoring. Randy Moore,
who had made 46 extra points in a row missed the final one.
Great Moments in Alabama High School Football History
Hamilton shutout an amazing 14 consecutive opponents from 1928-1930. A streak that will never be matched in modern football.
