Junior Fredrick Terry recovered a fumbled punt and made two well needed interceptions. Those interceptions just seemed to fall into my hands, Terry stated after the game. With a wet, muddy field, which produced 16 fumbles, the Pan- thers faced the Pinkston Vikings at Franklin Field. The- rain proved to be an important factor, preventing both teams from gaining more than 90 yards on the ground. The Panthers, who were behind 8-0 in the first quarter, made a touchdown before the end of the first half. Because a two point conversion was stop- ped by the Vikings, the game came down to a field goal. It took three tries, but Chip Browndyke finally made a 28-yard boot through the uprights to give Big Red a 9-8 victory over Pinkston, The Homecoming game was filled with disappointments and frustrations as the Sunset Bisons upset the Panthers, 7-0. We were just over-confident, explained senior Steve Mancillas. Turnovers and mistakes seemed to play a key part in the team's downfall, ln the last game of the season, the Panthers managed a come- back victory over Thomas Jefferson, Trailing 10-O, Big Red closed the gap by scoring with two seconds left in the second quarter. The final score came after Waymon Kirby delivered a bomb in the waiting arms of Jason Starks. After the second touchdown, the Panthers held on to defeat the Patriots 14-13. We came into the year hoping that we would do better, but considering all of the factors that went against us we had a good seasonf, explained Coach Marrs. The Panthers finished the year with a 6-4 record. The last three losses were attributed to a large number of injuries in key positions, which according to Marrs would have made the difference. He added, We have the talent and depth to lead us to a successful future. 1.5 f Nm ALeaping high in the air, junior Robert Boone blocks a Patriot field goal attempt to help the Panthers win 14-13.
