You're quite the sleuth. That tie to SE was huge in 69, they were highly touted. Yeah, I started as guard as a soph, wore 55, missed two starts with a broken collarbone (that I didn't know had broken for years). Burton was banged up, so they moved me back to his OT spot so he could concentrate on D (OLB). My junior year, 1970 I moved back to guard - we ran the hell out of that Tarpon Sweep, I had asked to change to 67.
We beat Venice that year (Lawless was a Sr) and the next for the old Coral Coast Conference and District Titles, the first in Charlotte's history. Those Venice games were pretty big deals, biggest crowds we ever played in front of until Regional Final when we upset Tarpon Springs.
I went to college with the guy who played over me that game, and Burton went to the FL with the guy he played over.
We realy underused Burton on offense, we had two 1,000 yard backs and our QB Boo Boo Weaver could run too (He was our All-state MLB, we had the reputation as a toughphysical team in the day that Charlotte has carried as an identity since we usually don't have consistent size and talen't ) Burton did catch a big TD against Venice his Sr year, my Junior. But it was a beautiful thing taking my first step to lead a sweep and seeing him cave that side of the defense in.
