Gilmer 49, Atlanta 12

From the Longview News-Journal

ATLANTA — Quarterback G.J. Kinne threw four touchdown passes — two to Lamar Harris — and he scored once on the ground as Gilmer rolled past Atlanta 49-12 on Friday night at Rabbit Stadium.

Kinne tossed an 8-yard scoring toss to Brown and then ran in from two yards out as the Buckeyes (5-0) took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Roosevelt Falls put the Rabbits on the scoreboard in the second frame following a 58-yard run.

Gilmer tallied three times in the second quarter as the Buckeyes built a 35-6 halftime margin. Kinne connected with Harris on a 32-yard scoring toss, which was followed a Justin Johnson run of 9 yards and 56-yard Kinne-to-Jamell Kennedy touchdown pass.

Falls scored Atlanta's second touchdown, before Kinne and Harris connected again for 44 yards — all in the third quarter.

The Buckeyes wrapped up the scoring as Josh Thompson scored on a 15-yard carry in the fourth stanza. Matt Burgin converted all seven extra point attempts for Gilmer.

Even today botanical scientists place the buckeye within the genus Aesculus, recognize it as a member of the horse-chestnut family and are still highly puzzled by its many and varied phytochemicals. “Phyto,” as you may recall from biology, simply means “from plants.” There are a great number of antioxidants and maintenance chemicals found in the buckeye’s pulp. There are also many toxic compounds and several of the substances are downright poisonous. Early Greek docs would skin the buckeye and boil the endosperm, producing a brew that was taken internally.
