They Did if !!! October 22, 1982, was a red- letter date for the Eagles. In a 41-8 massacre of the Killeen Kangaroos, they became the city champions, a title that had eluded them for the first four years of the team's history. Two touchdown runs by Trent Banks in the first quarter put the already fired-up Eagles in a scoring frenzy. Players on the sidelines were heard screaming, 'We're gonna do it! We're gonna win! A twelve-yard touchdown pass from Kenny Segal to David Bell, fantastic yardage gains by james Spikes, a 35-yard touchdown run by james Jones, and three extra points kicked by joe Daggs set the Eagles' lead at 27 by halftime while a near-perfect defense held the Roos to 0. With the ecstatic cheering and screaming of the fans to boost their morale, the team burst into the se- cond half with the same intensity that started the game. Early in the third quarter, Banks put in another touchdown run, and Daggs' extra point kick gave Ellison a 34-0 lead. A 192 Varsity Football y dl by Martin Glynn few plays later, the Roos managed an eight-point scoring drive, but Robert King's five-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter set aside all fears of a comeback by Killeen. Daggs' last kick of the evening made the final score 41-8. The game was followed by wild jubilation from Ellison fans and students. The players slammed each other on the back and gave a mighty chorus of victory yells. The crowds poured over the bleachers' guardrails to greet the champs, the band burst into the Eagles' fight song, and streams of tears flowed from seniors who suddenly realized that their most enjoyable viewing of the crosstown series was also their last Ellison-Killeen game as students. According to Head Coach john Beseda, 'The team won because it was our turn. The guys were ready, and they were determined that this year would be theirs. lt's a real credit to them in that they said that they were going to do something, and then they went out and did it. DAVID BELL leaps high into the air as and fellow team members Frank Holla Randy Sullivan, Charles Allen, Pete Stevd and james Carey attempt to block a l quarter field goal attempt by the Tem Wildcats. JOE DACGS watches intently the Eagles score their fourth touchdo against Austin McCallum. i
