JOE LANGSTON rambles around left end for 15 yards on a quarter- back option as Big Red bowled over Channelview in a non-district tilt. The state-ranked Cardinals complete- ly outclassed a fighting Channelview football team in their final non-confer- ence tilt, 31-0. After shaking off a bad start, B.C. was never in danger as they tacked up their second shutout in four games. Bridge City's fast-improving Cardinals turned in their most dramatic performance of the year by edging arch rival Orange 14-13 in their third game of the season. The Class AAAA Tigers had previously never been beaten by B.C. , but that all changed by the end of the game. Orange scored first and made their extra point, but on the ensuing kickoff Jerry Jaynes returned the ball 90 yards for a Card touchdown. At this point in the game the extra points made the differenceg and the Cards who failed to convert theirs, trailed 7-6 at the half. Early in the second half Orange scored again, but their extra point kick was blocked, leaving the score at 13-6. But as they did in the first half, the Cardinals stormed right back, marching 73 yards to tally their second touchdown. Bridge City went ahead to stay as Mike Jaynes made a clutch grab of a low aerial to give the Cards the two extra points and the eventual winning margin. But the contest was far from over. Orange marched steadily down the field in a final effort to overtake the Cardinals, and with 45 seconds show- ing on the clock, they had a first down and goal at the Card one-foot line As the seconds ticked away the Tigers tried three times to dent the Red- birds defense, but were pushed back decisively each time. And even as they failed to score on fourth down the clock ran out of time, giving Bridge City a victory which had been a long time in coming. STEVE WORSTER turns his talents to defense as he puts the stopper to a Falcon back behind the line of scrimmage. Cards Club Chcmnelview 31-0 89
