he team that Ben built differenT occasions. I Think ThaT was our besT game, Duliban said. The offense and defense bofh did good iobs even Though The score did noT show how good we did. Bloomer added, This marked The sTarT of The guys really beaTing somebody and seeing ThaT They were accomplishing and developing sTrong poTenTiaI. Increasing Their record To 4- I AI The Tigers chalked up a 26-O vicTory over The Elsik Rams. All scoring came in The firsT half when iunior Tailback Mike Church picked up I I I yards in I I carries and SundquisT ran for 94 yards on I4 carries. Then, in a hearfbreaker. Memorial squeaked byjhe Woodsmen I8-I4. The Tiger defense held The MusTangs Tour Times in The firsT half and led I4-6 aT haIfTime. Even Though we IosT, ThaT was The besT Too+baII game we played, Bloomer said. Memorial beaT us on Two big plays in The second half, and iT really was disappoinTing To our Team, Brewer said. Touchdowns were made by Comeaux and SundquisT for The Tigers. PuTTing TogeTher T7 firsT downs and 262 yards rushing The Tigers found vicTory once again creeping by HasTings I4-I 3. We were comparable To HasTingsbuT were physically much Tougher, Bloomer said. And ThaT is how we won The game, simply by runningjhe ball clown Their ThroaTs. ArThur insured The win by defIecTing a Bear pass wiTh I :46 IefT in The conTesT. Once again The Woodsmen baTTled The Bears, This Time, however, They were aTTired in blue and whiTe and came from Spring Branch. The Tigers were deTermined To make Things happen and beaT The Bears. In one of The mosT exciTing games of The season. STonesTreeT booTed a 27 yard field goal wiTh I I seconds lefT on The clock To edge Spring Branch I6- I 7. This game climaxed The whole season, Bloomer said. The defense conTrolled The Bears' running game, while The offense moved The ball very consisTenTly, SundquisT said. Su'ndquisT, who I I -seT up The winning field goal on a 30 yard pass, had Two Touchdowns and gained 77 yards rushing. We are big rivals wiTh Them and everybody iusT wanTed To beaT Them and we did, Warren said. WiTh nine games down and one To go, The Tigers faced The neighborhood rival, The NorThbrook Raiders. Nofhing seemed To work for The soggy Woodsmen on The weT, cold Homecoming eve as The Tigers were defeafed I4-7. AfTer beaTing Spring Branch, everyone knew if we had beaTen Memorial we would have won disTricT. So, insTead of looking forward To NorThbrook, we looked back To The Memorial game, SundquisT said. IT was really Tough because everybody was disappoinTed over The Memorial game all over again, and iT was harder To play as a Team, Duliban said.
