These historical facts should be added: -the Jacks played with character, intensity and emotion. -Bogalusa's defense took St. Mar- tinville offense and staffed it, jammed it, hammered it and sent it back to St. Martinville a beaten pump. -mistakes, such as two pass inter- ceptions Bogalusa suffered at St. Martinville's goal line, simply can- not be made in a state play-off game. The bitter battle was decided by a missed extra point after the Jacks scored with 4:10 left in the contest. Oatis, the holder, bobbled the snap from center and the ball never really got off the ground. St. Martinville ran out the remaining time on the clock. 9 .-.1 , . tv .
