P-T's final tune-up will
be tonight at Hennessey.

hosted Blackwell but it
was cancelled by the visi-

Wertman was able to garner
the scrimmage early last
week.
P-T's varsity turned in
solid performances against
both teams without know-
ing much about what they

Perkins-Tryon halfback Brady Huckabay leaps high into the air to pull down a touchdown pass from quarterback Travis

mage, Huckabay ran for a touchdown. Sperry was also part of the event. The Demons will be at Hennessey tonight for the
