Playbooks were dusted off and studied, equipment was issued, and soon the crunch of colliding bodies echoed across the field. This season was officially underway. BENTON We just couldn't put it together, summed up Tommy Allen, when asked about the game. Too many mistakes, added Travis Johnson. With five Russellville pass interceptions and two fumbles sealing Ben- ton's victory, the Cyclones lost their season opener to the Panthers. Randy Betsill passed to Eule Carr for the Cy- clone's only score of the game at the end of the first half. VAN BUREN Russellville slipped past the Van Buren Pointer Pups as a result of a fumbled punt, which set up their final TD. Kenny 1 Lutz burst into the endzone after Kevin Franklin recovered 'Tf the dropped punt. Mike Smith added the extra point, and the Cyclone's record evened out at 1-l. . ,I

However, time was against the Cyclones as they lost the lead near the end of the game and failed to overcome the Patriots. CONWAY Rival Conway again downed the Cy- clones for the 9th straight year and left the Cyclones with a 1-3 season record. Lutz struggled into the endzone with 3:27 left in the ballgame, and Smith's extra point closed the lead to six. 2 ' ff' 'FW L i. , I ...il I 'fx vu Y S x,,, 1 llv, , .

An Owens-Carr pass socred both the TD and the two- point conversion. MORRILTON Offensive statistics didn't tell the game, remarked Mike Smith. We had a great defensive night. The of- fense wasn't so good, but they did well enough to win. The Cyclones inched past Morril- ton to gain their second win of the season. Tiger Kincaid commented, Ev- erybody was ready to play. That's why we won!
