Churchland Sept. 20
Varon Rollins was only in the game for two plays when he had scored two touchdowns, which sums up the Prexie's slaughter of the Truckers. With a good air attack Wilson just ate up the yardage. At the end of the game Wilson had given Churchland its worst defeat ever with a score of 50-0
Rick Webb
Norview Oct. 4
The Presidents faced the tough Norview Pilots. It was one of the most exciting games of the year, and with the most action. The defense played its most superb game, holding the Pilots to one touchdown and very little yardage. The Prexies won 13-6

Deep Creek
The underrated pass defense of Wilson let Jackie Young of Deep Creek know what it's like to have passes intercepted. The whole game turned into a scoring battle, with Wilson getting more than half the points. Wilson 51-20 over Deep Creek.
