Summary:
        With the 13-7 victory at Legion Field in Birmingham Robert E. Lee finished the season with a perfect 15-0, their first undefeated season since 1970 when the Generals last won a state title. Larry Ware rushed for 187 yards on 48 carries and a touchdown to lead Lee. Jimmy Tuley added two field goals for the Generals. Jess Lanier quarterback Mike McCraw threw a 33 yard touchdown pass to Reggie Collier that tied the game 7-7 in the second quarter.

        Tuley put Lee ahead 10-7 with a 29 yard field goal in the third period, then capped off the scoring with another field goal in the fourth quarter. Lee had 331 yards of total offense and held Lanier to only 179 yards, including only three possessions in the second half. It was the first title game experience for Lanier after having never ventured past the second round in four previous appearances.
