Vikes Bagged Gators For the second time in three playoff games the Airline Vikings shut out their opponents. This time the victim was the South Terrebonne Gators. The score was 21-0 and the Vikes moved into the state finals. The Defense only allowed 52 yards running and 51 yards passing for six first downs. This great defense inspired the offense to score 21 points. Seven in the first half on a pass from Steve Ha nes to Clark Givens with only seconds left in the half. Fourteen points were scored in the second half. Jim Williams made a great catch of 37 yards to set up the next score which was his own as he smashed over from the one making the score 14-0. Jack Tut- tle finished off Airline's scoring with a five yard pass from Haynes. This made the total 21-0 and set the Vikes up for the state AAAA championship game the next week in Neville. ,f . 1 W 4' TOP: S. Haynes fired a bullet. LEFT: J. Williams headed goal- ward.

Airlme Fought Hard in State Finals For two days prior to the state championship game between Neville and Airline it rained. It rained almost constantly until gametime. The floor of Neville's stadium was pure mud and com- pletel drenched with rain. It was exactly what Nevillbe wanted because about their only chance of beating the Mighty Vikings would be in that kind of weather. The Tigers got their wish and won 6-0. It was their kind of field and their kind of grime. But it could have been so much differ- enti . . . The bad weather was the equalizer. It took away what the Vikes did best - pass. Quarter- back Haynes just could not set up in the mud or grip the mud-soaked ball. The Vikes coould not get rolling. Neville controlled the ball in the sec- ond half and their only score came in the fourth quarter after a controversial call. In ,the tearful Viking dressing room after the game, Coach Jack Gray told the seniors that this was his last game as a Viking. In his final season, Gray led his Vikings to a District crown and an 11-3 record. f 'Ei Nil V 2? ., :Z A 5 Q ,Q W V K A :sffe.as,.,:1.ws YffEffI'ff?iffifM RJ.. GTK-
