Their hard work paid off as they defeated the Cardinals in the last couple of min- utes left in the game. With the state cham- pionship in their minds, the Devils had to face the Greenbrier Panthers in their next playoff game at Little Rock Mills. With packed stands and great support, the Go-De- vils knocked off Greenbrier and ad- vanced to the state semi-finals. There they would have to face No. 1 ranked. undefeated Darda- nelle at War Memori- al Stadium. Thrilled by the fact that they were getting to play on the turf one week early, the De- vils had no com- plaints. Then, on a drizzly Friday night, the Go-Devils upset the Sand Lizards and gained the respect of not only Gurdon, but people across the state. Running back Chris Harper re- ceived Democrat and Gazette Player of the Week for his out- standing perform- ance. After celebrating the big win, the De- vils went back to work for the AA Championship game — something the school has never ac- complished. Now, ranked No. 2 in the state, the Go-Devils had to face the No. 1 McGehee Owls. In front of a large crowd on a cold Saturday night, the Devils started the game off systematically driv- ing the ball down the field for a score. But mistakes cost the Devils the ballgame and ruined their dreams for the State AA title. Having noth- ing to be ashamed of, the Go-Devils set- tled for being No. 2, but in their hearts and the town of Gur- don, they will always be No. 1. While Kent McClelland throws a good block, Chris Harper makes a huge gain 22 Football

Free Throw Line The Qurdon Go-Devil Sr. Boys Basketball Team had an inter- esting season with an overall record of 9 wins and 13 losses. Of the five seniors, only two had seen playing time for the Go-Devils last year. Six juniors and four sophomores made up the remain- der of the team. The inexperience of the team was in evidence, especially in conference play. However, the team showed improvement during the season, and Coach John Ware is opti- mistic for the 1989 season. ▼»24 Roy Pollins manages to sneak one in against Junction City. 24 Sr. High Basketball
