V (Con’l.) and the defense took to the field. Success. Bathe had one last shot. The offense took the ball and drove into the endzone with less than minute remaining. Arch rival LaGrange Gators were slapped with seven unsportsman like conduct calls at the outset of the game. Barbe held the lead most of the way but couldn’t put the Gators away. LaGrangc hung tight but fell 21-20 after the Bucs snuffed out a last-ditch effort by the Gators. With two emotional victories the Bucs could have used some rest, but the Cougar rematch was set. Robert McCarty filled in for the injured David Monceaux at fullback. The Cougars broke out for a 7-0 lead, but Barbe wasn’t dead yet. They rebounded in the second half and came up with a 13-7 win. Barbc's rematch with Sulphur proved to be a classic defensive matchup as neither offense could get anything going all night. The determining points came when the Bucs punched in a short run and held the 7-0 score till the end. With the victory over the Tors. Barbe clinched the district championship, so the final game should have been only a formality. It probably would have been if it had been against anyone except LaGrange. The game stretched on for four, humdrum quarters in a 13-13 tie. Going into overtime, the excitement finally began. The Bucs got the ball first, but failed to put the ball over the line. Luckily, the Gators couldn't put it in the endzone either. The second overtime was an instant replay. The third proved to be a charm, and the Bucs strutted off the field. — CART BUCS ON TOP.
