Q, 1 gif! Action Intense In The Bogalusa Lumberjacks partici- pated in spring football scrimmages between Bogalusa, Pine and Varnado. The scrimmages were simply a change of pace for each team. Instead of hitting their own teammates, the players got a chance to knock heads with someone in a different unU'orm. Play was controlled scrimmage. It consisted of each team faci ng the oth- er in a I2 play openfield Urom oppo- nents 45 yard linej series, and a I2 play goal line fat the I0 yard linej series. Coaches were on the field with the players at all times. Controlled scrimmage or not, the hitting was intense. All three teams showed they were not afraid to sacri- fice their body to stop an opposing player. It was the type of gutty perfor- mance that would see a ball carrier look like he was stopped by a brick wall, see him smile, bounce up, and 24 Spring Football do it all over again. When it was' over, it was Coach, Geary McKenzie's Wildcats who once again claimed spring-time bragging rights. The Jacks proved a much harder task for the Wildcats. The Jacks ef- fectively shut down the Cats' running attack forcing the Cats to go to the air for the scrimmage's only score. Boga- lusa gave the Cats a bit of their own medicine when the Lumberjack of- fense took the field. Quarterback Or- lando Lundy showed he could scram- ble out of trouble when he was seemingly trapped behind the line, but managed to pitch the ball to run- ning back Bruce Plummer. Plummer scampered 40 yards before being stopped by Varnado. The I2 play lim- it stopped the series before the Jacks could score. Overall, Bogalusa looked remark- ably disciplined for a team having only had five days of practice. The Jacks looked big. They moved the ball well, both out of the I forma- tion and utilizing the split backfield. A weakness, however, would seem to be the right side ofthe defensive line. Junior varsity action saw an ex- tremely larger B-Jack team beat smaller, but scrappy, Wildcat and Raider jv teams. The B-.lacks beat Varnado 18-I2 and beat Pine I2-6. I. Daring the scrimmage Coach Murray tenta- tively watches the Jacks against the Pine Raid- ers. 2. Man, don't we look good tonight?! 3. The controlled scrimmage showed coaches and players their strengths and weaknesses. 4. These Jacks take a break from play to watch the j.v. teams. 5. Sideline cheering prompted the .lacks to better play. 6. Coaches analyze the effectiveness of their plays. 7. The Lumberjack offense proved that they could scramble out of trouble.
