Tenth football season sim champion For fans, one test of a good athletic program began Sept. 2. Darryl Mason kicked off to Texarkana Texas High School in Texas Stadium to open the Patriots' tenth football season. But for the football players and coaches, the 1977 season had begun in December, 1976, with off-season practices which included weight lift- ing and drills. Two-a-days started in August, and players practiced six hours a day as temperatures soared in the 1 OO's. Most of them felt the pain that came from muscles which had taken a summer vacation. However, off season conditioning enabled the team to snap back fast. The Patriots were ready for Beat Texas week, except for seniors Mike Linebarier, quarterback, and Doug Temple, defensive tackle. Linebarier suffered a severely bruised shoulder while Temple was sidelined the first four games because ofa knee injury. Though Linebarier started against Texas, the shoulder prevented his throwing the ball. I didn't want to watch the game from the side if l was hurt, he said. The only time l did want to watch from the sidelines was if l was not needed. Linebarier scored two touchdowns to lead the Patriots to a 31-8 victory over Texas High. Temple returned to action for one play in the Hall game and promptly reinjured his knee. He jumped into the air to block a pass and was hit on up. l'd do it again, though, said, if l thought l had a to block that pass, even if I ad emple get hurt again Parkview all sea- son with the loss J , Sears, prospective All-American tight end Darryl Mason and senior tailback James Tolbert.

Through it all, Dr. D. B. Cheairs ministered to the team. His tenure as team physician was equal to that of Coaches Goodwin and Woody Jolley-- eight years. Money can't buy the dedicated attention 'Doc' gives the guys, Goodwin said. Dr. Cheairs missed only one game in eight years and volunteers his services to the team. Homecoming against Central's Tigers meant returning for the in- jured Pats as well as PV graduates. Although Carl Honeysuckle was knocked out on the opening kickoff Parkview whipped the Tigers, 30-6, and the substitutes all played. .1 ,pv- . ww W if 3 ., -1 .,. all
