August 30, 1985. Collier
Field. Game conditions: see below
Despite potential
threats from Hurricane Elena, the decision was made by both
teams in advance to go ahead and play this game, unlike many
others in the Montgomery metro area which were postponed until
Monday or Tuesday the following week. Johnny Redding
continued his own storm surge from the 1984 season by rushing
for 194 yards on 19 carries, part of the Trojans' 295 yards
team total, as the Trojans defeated the Wolverines 38 -
18. Redding added four touchdowns and caught several
passes from Jeff Stevenson which helped set up the other two
scores. Saint James piled up a school record (at that
time) 24 first downs, while South Macon added 16 of their own,
mostly on the passing of Richard Key, who threw three
touchdown passes. South Macon did commit 11 penalties
for 113 yards which seriously curtailed their offensive
progress.
