November 1, 1985. Collier
Field. Game conditions: not yet available
The Trojans
sometimes appeared sluggish against an enormously outmanned
Eagle team, which officially had only fifteen players on the
roster at this game, the conclusion of their season.
However, Saint James pulled away with four fourth quarter
touchdowns, the final scored by sophomore Coleman Brewster, as
Saint James clinched the runner-up spot in 1A Area 9 and a
second consecutive trip to the state playoffs with a 48 - 0
shutout of Alabama Christian.
Johnny Redding, who
played sparingly with a slightly sprained ankle, was limited
to 69 yards on 9 carries. Other Trojans rushed for 189
yards, with the Eagles only netting 14 rushing yards.
Just after Jeff Stevenson's touchdown pass to Jody Ortega late
in the first quarter, Charles Sylvest returned an interception
from midfield as time expired in the first quarter to set the
Trojans on their way.
Alabama Christian
also lost six of seven team fumbles and threw two
interceptions for a fatal eight turnover performance.
