St. Louis - 0 Lions - 0 Another Tie DAVID BOUDREAUX (So.) Defensive End Injuries, penalties, fumbles, and a late blocked punt all added up to another goose egg for state ranked Vinton. Big Red's stone wall defense was still keeping the opposition out of pay dirt, but our Red touchdown machine was malfunctioning. RANDY COURMIER (Fr.) Tackle Defense guard Glenn Ray received a painful leg injury that side lined the star for the last part of the contest. STEVE SMITH (Sr.) Def. Tackle and Kicker Now the 4- AA Dis- trict race was wide open.

Penalties + Fumbles = Kinder Upset DENNIS FREDERICK (Fr.) Guard STERLYN SJMIEN (Jr.) Wing Back CRAIG MOONEY (Soph.) Guard Big Red’s Title hopes were diminished due to their past two ties. The Lions coasted lo a comfort- able 13-6 lead in the fourth quarter only to have the scrappy Yellowjackets take advantage of fum- bles, key penalties, long bomb passes and with 1:32 showing on the clock ease ahead of the Lions 18-13 in a contest that dimmed any hopes of Vinton entering district playoffs.
