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.

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.
