Gators cap season with first win over Terrebonne The South Terrebonne Gators Wrapped up their hard-fought football season as they up- ended the Terrebonne Tigers for the first time in AAA district competition. Though the Gators only won sixty per cent of their games, they proved their might on the field and fought savagely throughout the season. The Gators started the season by losing a 6-7 heartbreaker to the Rummel Raiders, even though the Raiders were unable to stop Jamsel Vedros, the fleetfooted Gator full- back, fabovej from making excellent yard- age on the end sweep. Their second game of the season proved to be more productive as the Gators posted a 27-13 victory over the Central Lafourche Tro- jans. Plagued with fumbles and interceptions, the Gators lost the third game, 0-19, to the South Lafourche Tarpons, who went on to become runners-up for the state championship. Next came the Bogalusa Lumberjacks who marked the Gators with their third defeat of the season in a 19-32 battle on a drenched gridiron. The Gators then took the Hammond Torna- does, 14-0, on the arm of Roland Henry, the speed of Vedros, and the agility of Gator de- fense, led by Jesse LeCompte fleftj, who also garnered all-state honors. Albert Babineaux recovered a crucial fum- ble for the Gators against Reserve setting up the only touchdown, Leslie Blalock raced over tackle for six points. In their next out- ing, Thibodaux defeated the Gators, O-19, with three touchdown passes, but Morgan City was then wiped out by the Gators, 32-0. The ST boys had a real field day for Home- coming, mopping up the stadium with Slidell, 35-0. The Gators, beaten by the Terrebonne Ti- gers for the past two consecutiye years, came back to beat Terrebonne, 30-6, in the final game of the season. The Gators ended the year with a 6-4 sea- son, beating some mighty tough teams to prove that Gator Spirit never dies. l6I
