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.

F0050 Passes dominate junior games There it was again-thejunior high football team's infamous pass. lt was one of many. With Coach Gary Shoptaw and Coach Mark Smith, his assistant, at the helm it was bound to be different. How could it not be with a team coached by two basketball coaches who liked to see the ball in the air? For a passing team, a quarterback is essential, and the search began the spring before and ended early in the fall in the now-proven, capable hands of Les Lewis. Les was a good quarterback because he had the physique and he was intelligent, said Coach Smith. The Bruins opened the season with a 25-6 win over Bauxite but fell to Vilonia the next week 8-0 for the only loss of the season. We had many chances to score in the game, and we really just beat ourselves, said Mitchell Reed. A 34-8 win over Scott followed, and then the Bruins had to hang on for a 16-13 win over Hazen. The Hazen game was saved by an interception at the buzzer. By then, close-calls were becoming daily routine for the excited Bruins. One could glimpse the players' helmets as they were being thrown into the air at random. We were literally saved by the bell in the Harding game, said freshman Kris Gillian, who explained that the buzzer went off before the other team could score. It was the first Homecoming game we've won in three years. The 14-8 victory clinched the conference championship for the Bruins. C1983 junior High rtrp F ootball 9' ' ' ' irrtg .
