I Generals Earn F1rst Pla A win over the sixth ranked Con- roe Tigers sparked the light as the MacArthur Generals finally played up to their potential. After starting the season with two losses, the win over Conroe made everyone aware that the Generals had been under- rated when the season opened. The team came alive when district play began. As . they defeated one opponent after another, history was made when the Generals earned their first ever play-off spot. The district title came down to the final game with Aldine. The Generals lost 24-16 forcing them to face the defending state champions, Beaumont West Brook. Excitement filled the air as the dream of playing in the Astrodome became a reality. Going into the game as underdogs seemed to fire up the team. Head coach Bob Alpert was very pleased with the team's perfor- mance and said, The team beat the Bruins everywhere but the scoreboard. Despite the loss, the team proved themselves and made the students and parents proud. Going to the Astrodome was only one of the accomplishments of the team last year. Senior runningback Roy Jackson rushed for 1,715 yards which pushed him to a career total of 4,309. This was good enough to place him as the fourth All-Time 5A Rusher and the off Berth first All-Greater Houston Rusher. also earned him a place on the Al State and All-District teams. Other players selected to th All-District team were Kenn Cooke, Darryl Sloane and Be White, first team defense, and Bill Ford, Fred Wiley, Richard Johnsoi Rodney Davis, Robert Gray an Greg Cox, first team offense. li cluded on the second team wer defensive player Jeff Gibson an offensive players Darren Jones an Greg Cox. Coach Alpert summed up th season by saying, The 1983 tear has set the tradition of being in th play-offs, and WE SHAL RETURN! dps by
