She explained how this could be the lost gome for the seniors. The final score ended up 44-6 in our favor. Perhaps the tightest gome for the Cowboys was the C IF. game against Gonesho.

Stars Shine Brightly Colleges were raking o close look or the Cowboys offensive srors Eric Alozie end Tim Jenkins. Major universiries and colleges were hoping ro sign these two seniors or the end of rhis year. Tim Jenkins was being looked or because of his high speed and durobili- ry. He was one of rhe quickest cowboys and this was whot impressed scouts. Arizono Stote University wos very im- pressed and hoped to moke Tim Jenkins o Sundevij next year. Eric Alozie was a very evasive quarterback and this was why he was one of the best quarterbacks in the southland. Colleges such as Nebrosko University were looking to moke Eric in- to a receiver becuse of his tremendous speed. They were always looking for good players to fill the positions on their rosters. Maybe we will see these two great players playing for major colleges in the near future! tr (Above) Top Row (Left to Right): Mike FInozzo, George Roy, Luke Poihom, Som Stohlheber. Ed Chompln.
