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.

Tight end, Darryl Mason 1827 breaks the Wildcat llne to score for the Pats. Mason missed two games with a fallen arch. with a calcium deposit on his thigh after a severe bruise. 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

Still Champions con't. North Little Ftock's Ole Main and Northeast fell victims to the Number One pre-season favored Patriots first in AAAAA. Everyone celebrated until the dream of a third undefeated, untied championship was destroyed by the Pine Bluff Zebras, Sept. 30. The Zebras beat Parkview at the game in which Pats usually excell-- the spirit contest. Following a May- or's proclamation, they had Beat PV Week, daily assemblies and were accompanied by hundreds of sup- porters who arrived at Quigley really ..up.,, In contrast, the Patriots seemed flat after a routine Friday pep assembly. Although the Zebras rolled up 18 points in the first half, the Champs almost pulled the game out of the fire when they stormed into the second half with a new game plan and put 15 points on the board. l'm just glad to know we can come from behind, Goodwin said. Poor Quickell l'd sure hate to be in his shoes, was what fans thought when, with seconds to play, fourth and still 24 yards for a TD, Quickel attempted a 39 yard field goal that might have won the game. PV's good luck ran out, the kick was no good as it hit the crossbar and fell to the ground. What came next proved once again that Parkview spirit can't be beat, Mark Hayes, Constitution sports editor believed. At the Arkansas High game, Pres- ley, out for a pass, appeared to draw interference from a Razorback. The crowd expected it to be called. Presley did, too. I just expected to see the flag, he said. But when the official didn't call it, I had to shrug it off, go back and get to the huddle for the new down play. Patriots believed that if you let a bad call get to you, it could hamper your play for the rest of the game. The outcome of a game can't be traced back to one play, but rests on the performance of the team through- Splrltllfiivalry rw Winners' circle. Eric Gray underscores his joy about PV's defeat of Hall in the locker room. Ll ,ft 'xt f' In Agony of defeat.
