Football JV, Freshman feams finish unsfeady season due fo suspensions, injuries The junior varsity team had an up-and-down season winning two scrimmages, two pre-season games, and starting district play with wins over Alvarado. Then began the long road downward. The team failed to score in the next four consecutive games. Their season ended on a high note with a win over Springtown. The loss of two important players due to suspension from the team, as well as injuries, made for a troubled junior varsity season. The freshmen also had an unsteady season, plagued with dismissals and injuries. The team averaged nineteen points while holding their opponents to fifteen. Outstanding players were Troy Secchio, Sisco Solis, and Cliff Burch.

Football Varsify fakes disfricf co-championship affer Ilghf fo break a four-way fie The district race was in constant doubt because of a four-way tie midway through the season. With nothing but pure determination the Eagles ripped and tore their way to split the district with Granbury, a foe to whom they had fallen earlier in the season. All- District achievers were defense: Marte Amrine, secondary, and Nathan Beach, nose guard: offense: Mike Tinker, end, and the Sophomore of the Year, Gary Reasons. ALVARADO: Marte Amrine went to the air at will against a leaky Indian defense, connected on a lonely four completions, but, as the story went, all four were for six. Amrine got the ball rolling early, as on the first possession of the game the signal caller sprinted around the end 10 yards for the tally. The kick failed leaving them ahead at that point 6-0. Then the Alvarado crew couldn't get it together. Albert Perez zipped in from four, and it was 13-0. Amrine found Rick F risbie on a fake field goal try with a pass of five and a huge 20-0 lead with 2:06 left in the half. The second quarter wasn't over yet, however, and with 9 seconds left in the first half, Amrine threw to Robert Lof tin after a double reverse for another score making it 27-0. On the first drive of the second half Amrine connected on a 20 yard pass to Tommy Rotenberry. The PAT was blocked making the score 33-0. Amrine on a halfback pass found Loftin for the final score of the evening. Crowley had zapped Alvarado 40-0. JOSHUA: It was a ballgame of mental mistakes, turnovers, and short tempers which saw scoring come early in the first half and late in the second. Through the rain-drenched, sluggish first two quarters it looked like the players were trying to give the game to each other, so the crowd saw the ball switch hands via fumbles 9 times. The first score of the night came late in the first quarter with Tim Lundquist making the tally, and Frisbie kicking the PAT. The only other event in the first half was Charly Everett with an 80 yard punt. Lundquist leaped over from the one late in the game, capping three straight misconduct calls against the Joshua team. Thus, the game ended 14-0 with the Eagles on top. KENNEDALE: The first score in the ball game came with 4:02 left in the first quarter. Amrine went in from the 3 yard line to cap a drive which featured a long pass from Amrine to Mike Tinker and the running ability of Lundquist. The extra point was good, leaving the score 7-0. Kennedale scored with 1:44 left in the first half on three long passes from their own 40. The conversion failed, the score stood 7-6. Crowley got busy and, with the aid of Greg Brookins and Lundquist, Gary Reasons got in range for a field goal which was good and made the score 10-6 at half time. On their first possession of the third quarter, Crowley started driving from their own 20. When the Eagles made it to the 38, Amrine threw a pass to Loftin to cinch 6 more points. The extra point was not good, leaving the score at l6-6. Crowley's first scoring drive came as a result of the running to Rotenberry, Lundquist, and Brookins with Amrine going in from the one-foot line, leaving the score 24- 12. The next score came in the fourth quarter when Perez carried the ball for 20 yards for the touchdown.
