Kinda. We won 21-14 with Minor scoring on the opening kickoff and a 67 yard run on a Toss. Other than that, Catholic had maybe 100 yards. We picked off a pass and took knees to end it.

As far as the better team...ehhhh...you had 2 high profile recruits in Major/Minor. We had Tommy Banks-LSU, McConathy-Gatorade player of the year the next year-LSU/Texas/Tech, Reed-LSU, Smalling-LSU, Lenard-4 year starter at Tech, West-A&M/LSU, Ledoux-A&M/LSU.

But yes, Catholic was ranked #10 in the nation and a heavy favorite.

You have a great memory. I was there and all I remember is racists, rebel flags, Minor's kick return, Tommy Banks' 3 yard runs, WM winning, racists and rebel flags.

That Catholic team had a few more players than Minor and Applewhite. They had something like 12 guys sign with P5 schools. Problem was 4 or 5 were RBs and 2 were QBs.

Uhm. . . The top 4 running backs on that CHS team ended up playing D-1 ball. Minor (FSU), Boone (Clemson), Shanklin (UK) and Hatch (Georgia Tech). Greg Brown played safety at Texas with Major. One of the TE's played for LSU for a bit. Former LSU punter Donnie Jones was on that team.

And oh by the way, it was 21-14 with a minor TD on a trick play being called back.
