The Cavalier-Indian match became one of the most looked for- ward to events of the year. Occur- ring during the week of PV Home- coming, the match was looked upon as more than an ordinary event. The week was filled with many activities such as the building of displays, construction of hall decorations, and the most anticipated pep rally of the year. All of these activities did much in building the spirits of the Indians only to have David Loreno and his Cavalier teammates ruin a perfect Homecoming. PV ' s only scoring came when Tony Kour- moulis picked up a fumble and ran 20 yards for a most exciting touch- down. Later, Anthony Smiley passed to Shane Wade for a 59 yard touch- down pass. David Loreno scored two for the Cavaliers and Tony Tudisco managed to score twice before the Indians put him out with a broken hand. The Cavaliers embar- rassed the Indians with 261 yards rushing to the Indians 110. Loreno led John Carrol to 1 5 first downs and 1 1 7 yards passing.

PINSON VALLEY ST. CLAIR Patrick and Minton are ready to strike With the Pinson Valley Indians winning their last two ballgames, and earlier during the season beat- ing Fultondale, they now had a chance to even up their record at four wins and four losses. Yet in order to do so they had to beat the St Clair County Saints. The Indians won the toss and elected to receive. The game got off to a terrible start for the Indians after the first play from scrimmage resulted in a fumble. The Saints recovered the old pigskin at the Indian ten and took a very early 6-0 lead. The extra point was blocked by Shane Wade as he sneaked his way under the offensive line. The offen- sive team would not be kept from scoring as Jerry Chambers made it on a three yard plunge. The extra point was kicked through the uprights to give the Indians a 7-6 lead at half. All the scoring done in the second half belonged to the Indians. Anthony Smiley scored twice, first on a four yard run and then again on a five yard run. Ron- nie Weiss scored the final touch- down on a one yard run. The Indian defense held the Saints scoreless the remainder of the game and also dominated statistics. The offense had a total of 270 rushing and pass- ing yards. The defense held St. Clair to 6 first downs and a total of 97

PINSON VALLEY HEWITT-TRUSSVILLE Weiss breaks into one-on-one situation. This was Pinson Valley ' s last game of the year, the Seniors last game to play for PV, and the team ' s last chance to break even for the year. The game was also a renewal of an old rivalry which helped to make the Indians fired up and ready to play some hard hitting football. Hewitt was also fired up and they put the first points on the scoreboard after driving down the field on the Indian defense. Valley was not to be denied a touchdown, however. In the first half Rusty Wynn scored on a 3 yard run. The third quarter belonged to Hewitt. The Huskies managed to put 7 more points on the scoreboard to take a 14-7 lead. The 4th quarter was a defensive bat- tle. Each time the Huskies got a drive going the Indians would put a quick stop to all action. With about four minutes remaining the Indians gathered their pride and drove for a touchdown. With a score of 14-13 the Indians wanted a two point con- version to win the game. Valley lined up on the 3 but the offensive jumped off sides which put the ball to the 8 yard line. The extra point team came in to try to tie the game up but the ball sailed wide. The Indians then lined up and kicked an on-side kick. Shane Wade recovered the kick and gave the game new life. Cn 3rd down the Indians ' hopes were drowned when Hewitt intercepted a pass.
