Thomasville Bulldogs face tailback shortfall with Byerly gone
Ernest Byerly, the Bulldogs speedy tailback, has left Thomasville High to join the national guard two weeks before the South Piedmont opener at Barium Springs on September 15. Coach Hardy Henry slots three contenders Melton Garrett Crawford to fill the tailback duties while Dunning could slide into a backfield role. Line prospects improve with Mendenhall Huffman Wardlaw Wilson and Connell as freshmen push into the single wing. Henry cautions injuries could derail a strong season.
