Williams scored both Jere Baxter touchdowns. Although the report praises Startup, it does not credit him with either score.

Classification audit

From “under review” to a qualified resolution

The newspaper calls Greenbrier an amateur team rather than explicitly saying Greenbrier High. That wording remains part of the record. The classification changes because the personnel evidence no longer stands alone: the November lineup overlaps extensively with the explicitly school-identified October lineup, and The Village Green photograph supplies full names and positions for several of those players.

Archive decisionCount this as Greenbrier High for the season and Jere Baxter series, while labeling the decision as an inference from the combined sources—not a phrase printed in the November article.
