Trojans 'Jenks' Sandites Midway through the season, the Sandites stood at 3-2. Although it was not an impressive record, the Sandites still had much pride and spirit. Their next opponent was the highly publi- cized Jenks Trojans. The seventh- ranked Trojans swept onto the field and capitalized on the costly mistakes made by the Sandites during the game. The game ended in a 35-3 loss. The following week, the Sandites traveled to Ponca City to face another district team. Ponca City was the only undefeated team in the district and they added to their winning streak with a 30-9 victory over the Sandites. This ended all Sandite hopes of going to the playoffs. The hometowners, then standing at 3-4, faced arch-rival Sapulpa. The Chieftains came onto the field with a winner's attitude gained byidefeating Sandites in '78. This attitude is what brought the Chieftains back at the half to defeat the Sandites at Memorial Stadium 20- 13. The Chieftain back that scored with only eighteen seconds left before the half was an error that cost us the game, stated Coach James. Indeed the following week proved to end the homecoming festivities in grave disapointment. The homecom- ing matched district contender Still- water Pioneers against the Sandites. The game added to the streak of four games lost. Not impressive, but still the Sandites resorted to their courage and honor as the last game ap- proached. The local team was 3-6, and a win would add nothing to their re- cord, but everything to their honor. The Sandites, playing in near-freezing temperature and ankle-deep mud, pre- vailed 8-0. The touchdown came from a fifty-two yard pass play from Ron Hale to Todd Sanders, and the game boosted their record to four wins and six losses. GOING TO THE OUTSIDE - Senior halfback Todd Sanders Q29J cuts outside Bartlesville College Wildcats. Sanders was the leading rusher in this game enroute to the winning touchdown in his final high school game against the and was picked outstanding offensive back of the week. Football 33
