Highlights and Heartbreaks After the Bruins cleaned up from the Jefferson game they got busy getting ready for Hazen. It proved to be as tough as they thought it would be. This game can be called the win that wasn't. The score was 14-8 in favor of the Hornets with about 20 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. Coach Brawner called a time out and told the team that they still had one chance. They could strip the ball from the quarterback and pick it up and score. Everyone agreed with him but knew that it was a one-in-a- million chance. Well, the Bruins got that chance. For some unknown reason, the quarterback dropped back instead of falling on the ball to end the game. Lester hit the quarterback and knocked the ball from his hands, and Perkins picked up the ball and ran it for an apparent 60-yard touchdown. Everyone was going wild but there seemed to be some confusion on the field. One of the referees had blown his whistle when the clock went off and called the touchdown back. Coach Brawner explained, A clock cannot end the game, only a whistle from the officials at the end of a play that begins before time runs out. Perkins said, lt was the dream of a lifetime taken away from me. The 1982 Bruins won't be remembered for their win-loss record but for their pride. With eight two-way starters and only seven others on the bench, they never gave up. As senior tackle Chuck Russell said, This year we didn't win many games, but it was the best season l've ever had at P.A. The Bruins had four players make All- District and four honorable mention. All- District players were Russell, Lester, Crow and junior tailback Carter Brown. Honorable mention players were Fortson, senior center Marty Hamaker, senior guard Graham Smith and Perkins.
