Game MVP:
Records: Gordo (12-0); St. Jude (11-1)
Coaches: Harold Avinger, Gordo and , St. Jude
Game: Played Friday November 29, 1968 at
Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa
Summary: Gordo started quick and then became conservative to preserve the Class 2A state championship for 1968
in a 27-6 win over St. Jude. Gordo would score on their fourth
play from scrimmage on a nine yard run and two minutes later,
after an interception, the Green Wave would score again on a 40 yard run
by Rex Abrams.
On a strange play four minutes later Gordo's
Dwain Harris would scoop up a towering four yard punt as other
players stood around watching and dash 46 yards to the St. Jude
four yard line. Mike Fair would get the touchdown a few plays
later.
The final score for Gordo came in the third period on a
29 yard run. St. Jude would get on the score board on a 30 yard
fumble and return late in the first half.
