Summary: Quarterback Jimmy Dawson and fullback Tony Narramore would lead the Excel offense by scoring two touchdowns each in a
30-6 win over Sweet Water for the 1969 Class 1A state
championship. Excel led early in the final quarter but Mickey
Pope would tighten the score on a brilliant 86 yard run to cut
the margin to 14-6.
Excel would counter the score with one of
their own with 2:25 remaining in the game on a 5 yard Narramore
run. The two point conversion would almost seal the victory for
the Panthers. But, on the very first play following the ensuing
kickoff Sweet Water quarterback Herman Huckabee would fumble at
his own 32 yard line and Jimmy Dawson would pick up the loose ball and
carry it in for the final points of the evening.
