==Game summary==<br />
Roswell’s Jeff Bower threw 70 yards to Jerry Paul and 30 to Eddie Tate for two touchdowns in the second quarter and it held up for the win. Dalton’s Ricky Townsend had three of the North’s six interceptions. The South avoided the shutout late with a fumble recovery in the end zone for a touchdown. Except for the two long passes, the South defense was formidable, allowing just 73 yards rushing.<br />
