'l A .s I. .1 Movin' humper to bumper to season opener ln hot August practices prior to the opening of school, the '73 edition of the Hornets proved that Hazen would be a contender for the state B championship. Typically, groups of supporters following athletes to DeValls Bluff for the season opener moved bumper to bumper the entire seven miles. Cheers erupted from Hornet stands as the Hazen defense kept the Scrappers scoreless the entire game, while offensive strategy placed 17 points on the board. Barely losing the next game, 3-0, in a battle against the Beebe Bad- gers, Frank Betzner, 30, led the Hornets in rushing with 47 yards. Anchoring the Hornet defense, Leroy Booe, 73, prevented Badger scoring until the final seven seconds of play. A sweet win against Vilonia, 49-05 built Hornet momentum for the up- coming game with top-ranked Magnet Cove. Running for 127 yards, scoring one touch down, and kicking in the extra point, Terry Vail, 33, exhibited an all-around football ability. A 26-7 score dashed Magnet Cove's dream of an easy win. Hoping to break the Harding 'Iinx', Hazen's momentum came to a temporary stand still, stalling a Wildcat drive at the Hornet 10 yard line, Chip Adams, 10, clinched a timely interception. This crowd- pleaser helped dash the indignity of a 13-6 conference loss. FILL UP. Keeping on their toes, Larry Loudermilk andjoe Flippo, managers, laddle up the energy-building gatoraide.
