f001l005e Players recall bus trouble Kill the man. Coach lim Brawner, acting as quarterback, drills Bruin defensive linemen Danny Norman and Michael Baxley during two-a-days in August. 42.Sports The Bruins' first contest resulted in their first victory over jefferson Prep in two years. It was during this game that quarterback Kevin Gillian, senior, sustained a head injury and satout the rest of the game. I really knew he was out of it when he asked me 'What's an Omaha, ' said sophomore Byron Brooks. That's one of our most common plays. He also called Carter 'Carson' and he tried to line up in my position. Kevin's injury came early in the first half, and sophomore jason Leavitt replaced him for the rest of the game. Getting that much playing time in my first senior high game was killer, said jason. I knew I had to do the job, and I just went out there and did the best I could. At Mayflower, the Bruins played well, however, the Eagles breathed down their necks until the fourth quarter, when the Bruins went on to win 28- 18. Against Bauxite, the Bruins suffered a crushing defeat 21-0, but they came back the next week ready to play against the School for the Deaf, or so they thought. At the half, the Leopards were shutting out the overconfident Bruins, but in the second half the Bruins took the game away for a 42-14 victory. Three weeks later after a win at Perryville and a loss to Hazen, the team was on its way to Searcy to play Harding Academy when the oil leaked out of the bus onto the exhaust pipe and burst into flames. We were driving along and a guy pulled up beside us and yelled that we were on fire, said senior Briar Terrebonne. Coach Cole pulled off the road, and we all got off. Chris McDonough reacted immediately by trying to climb out a window. After we got off the bus safely, we were almost wasted by a cop going about 80. After a 30-minute wait at a car dealership in jacksonville, the team hitched a ride with the cheerleaders, band and pep bus. By the time they got to Searcy, they were worn out and lost to the Wildcats 17-6. It was very depressing to go through all of that and then have to play a football game and lose, said Briar. S-I-r-e-I-c-h! The senior high football team loosens up in pre- game warm ups for the season opener.

Senior Carter Brown leads the Bruins defense in stopping a Bauxite Miner running back on the line of scrimmage. The Bruins were defeated 21-0. 44'Sports At Homecoming, the Bruins trounced the Newark Kangaroos 41-21, for the first Homecoming victory in two years. Sophomore Scott Dabbs played a nearly flawless game, rushing for 213 yards and scoring four touchdowns. Overall it was my best performance of the year, said Scott. I was especially pleased that we won the game. The season came to a bitter close with a 13-6 loss to arch rival CAC. I'll always remember our last game simply because it was my last, said senior Carter Brown, who was named All-District and All-State. Also making All-District were seniors Danny Norman and Michael Baxley and junior Mike jones. Seniors Iohn Wyville and Briar Terrebonne and sophomore Scott Dabbs made honorable mention All-District. Seniors Kevin Gillian, Briar Terrebonne and Carter Brown were the only members of the team who had played football for six years, beginning in seventh grade. Over those six years I improved because I was looser and more comfortable during the games, and I knew what I was doing, said Kevin. When I started playing football I wasn't really thinking ahead to six years later. Coach lim Brawner said that he felt like the team had a very successful season overall. Everybody had picked us to finish way down in the conference, he said, but I had figured us better than the predictions. I thought we would do better than we did, but I wasn't disappointed in the season.
