Game: Played Friday December 3, 1971 at Memorial Stadium in Addison
Summary: David Adkins would boot three
field goals to snap the state's longest winning streak as Marion
County edged Addison 17-14 to claim the Class 1A state
championship. The three kicks by Adkins were from 25,41 and 37
yards with the last coming with five minutes remaining in the
game to break the 14-14 tie.
A one yard run and an ensuing two
point conversion accounting for all the Marion County scoring. Terryy Stallings, Addison star halfback, was lost for the game
following an injury in the third quarter which would hamper
Addison's hopes of repeating. Addison had won 25 games in a row
coming into the contest.
This would be the first of three
consecutive championships for Marion County while Addison was making their second straight title game appearance as they won the 1A
championship last season with a win over Susan Moore.
Great Moments in Alabama High School Football History
Etowah defeated Oxford 69-63 in 1991 to set a state record for most points scored by both teams in a playoff game.
