i D J .V. Overcomes Mid-Season Slump Under the leadership of Coaches Gerald Burns and Richard Reed, the Junior Var- sity ended the year with a 5-4-l record. The team got off on the right foot by win- ning their first three contestsg however, with the promotion of Darin Collins, the .IV squad sacrificed his ability for the improvement of the varsity team. After two straight losses, the team was shaken as dis- trict games approached. ln their district opener the team traveled to Jacksonville where they finished in a 14- I4 stalemate. The Dogs then let Chapel Hill and Kilgore squeeze by them in very close losses. The Bulldogs regrouped how- ever, and closed the season with big victo- ries over Palestine and Henderson.

Opponents Provide Tough Competition Marshall stampeded through Carthage in their opener leaving a trail of broken hearts and broken players. The Bulldogs were apparently outclassed as the Mavericks beat the Dogs 37-7. What at first appeared to be another long game for the Dogs turned out to be an action-packed victory. The game against Dallas Jesuit was a series of fum- bles with Carthage ending up with the ball and a 21- 19 win. Breaking through their 'victory' sign before the start ofthe game, the San Augustine Wolves ran over their cheerleaders, but that was all, as Carthage came home with their second victory of the season, winning 26-7. Carthage then traveled to Liberty-Eylau. A new running back appeared, sophomore Darin Collins, who shocked the fans with his ability to move the ballg however, that was not the only thing that shocked the spectators that night. An obvious win in the first half of play was short-lived when the Leopards stunned the Bulldogs with a 20-20 tie. A new face emerged behind the center in the Atlanta game. After starting quarterback Kevin Smith was injured at the end of the scoreless half, Bryan Stacy proved himself worthy by leading the Dogs to a victory over the Rabbits. Despite the fact that the Dogs lost four fumbles and piled up 81 yards in penalities, Carthage beat Atlanta 13-7. Jacksonville put a pall on the Homecoming activi- ties at Martin Stadium. The Indians held the Dogs to only 7 points while taking 14 for themselves. Carthage found their first district victory at Chapel Hill. During the course of the game, the Dogs tracked up 249 yards, the most yardage rushing in one night. With the combined talents of Darin Collins, Robert Hardy, and Gene Lawhorn, the Bulldogs defeated Chapel Hill I3-7. After the Bulldogs were twice denied a touchdown, Kilgore capitalized on wounded spirits and got away with a 22-0 win over Carthage. This was a bitter defeat because it was the only game in which the team failed to cross the goal line. Kilgore went on to win the 8-AAAA south zone championship. The game against Palestine on Halloween night had some Carthage spectators scared. However, the Bulldogs tricked Palestine and treated themselves to a 15-13 win. Hewitt Deramus kicked the only field goal of the year, winning the game in the last minutes. Fans of the Henderson Lions were roaring as they took Carthage down in their last battle. The Lions took command in the second half holding the Bulldogs to 6 while making 2l for the win. Football f 23
