City Title
At Franklin Field
Egan 29, Frankford 20
Mike Friel's 72-yard pass to Ed McDowell gave Egan a 7-0 lead
after 70 seconds, but Frankford stormed to a 20-7 halftime bulge as
Warren Mays threw TD passes to Gregory Taylor, Mike Biddle and Ernie
Kinzler. Tackle Jim Helstrom began Egan's comeback by recovering
teammate Bob Lamina's fumble for a TD, then Friel and McDowell ran for
scores of 33 and 84 yards, respectively. McDowell finished with 22
carries for 209 yards, raising his career total to 2,258. Lamina added
100 yards on 18 carries to finish with 2,117 yards. Mays passed
10-for-21 for 125 yards.
Public League
At Northeast
Frankford 30, Dobbins 8
Craig Henry was the hero in the first regularly-scheduled
championship game. Henry, who'd spent much of the season serving only as
a blocking wingback, caught TD passes of 5, 39 and 23 yards from Warren
Mays as Frankford rolled. Henry scored two of his TDs in the final 24
seconds of the first half. The Pioneers picked off four passes.
