EXPLOSIVE We had a great deal of talent to be successful with, said senior Garner Geisler. Top Rushing Offense in Greater Houston Area Alrhough the varsity football team did not make the playoffs this year, they were far from being unsuccessful. With a 7-2-1 season record and a 5-2 district record, the Gators finished in third place. Their chances for the playoffs diminished as Galveston Ball beat La Marque in the final gome. If La Marque would hove bear Galveston Doll a three way second tie would have resulted Dickinson, having the most positive points, would hove ad- vanced to the playoffs. p»o • •N • T •S Opponent Scores (Us Them) Beaumont French 13-6 Alvin 21-21 Angleton 35-13 Lo Morque 7-25 Lo Porte 24-0 Cleot Loke 35-21 Cleor Creek 56-0 Pearland 21-9 Golveston 3-8 Texas City 56-14 The Gators, with 18 all-district players, led the district with first-team selections as well as total number of selections.
