Rams Butt Tough for 33-O Loss 1 Cove player dives for a tackle. Soph. Robin Riley takes a well-deserved break. Iunior Eric Myers blocks a Ram. The Bulldogs put together their longest drive of the night traveling 56 yards in 10 plays on their next possession but were forced to turn the ball over on downs. Linebacker Todd Hus- kinson recovered a Ram fumble putting the Dogs on the long end of the turnover stick for the first time this season. The Bulldgs' possession was also somewhat short when a Cove fumble ended the drive. Gary Love forced a 9-yard loss on the tailback, the remainder of the Bulldog defense rallied to force Richfield to punt. The final score was 33-0 in favor of Rich- field. Chip Love struggles to get through.

Ellison Eagles Fly By A birdseye view ofa play. A stop-action proves that the Cove defense hits Iames Dixon watches a tackle. hard. It was a total lack of effort, the worst game I have ever been associated with , was the com- ment coming from Head Coach Burrows. Had it not been for a 32 yard and 7 yard run by Kevin Henderson, the Bulldogs would have finished the game with a negative rushing yardage. Robin Riley was right behind Henderson with 32 yards in 10 tries. Riley made a touchdown saving tackle on the opening kick-off. The bulldogs rushed 26 times for 88 yards and gathered 41 yards passing, fum- bling twice. Many missed assignments and a noticeable lack of enthusiasm made this year's Homecoming score 41-0, in favor of the Ellison Eagles.
