With the drill team, Michelle Hermis entertains the crowd at half time. R45 ,gl 1 tree f 'Win Dome Generals' New Home Football season was highlighted with MacArthur's advancement to the state play-offs for the first time in the 17 year history of the school. Crowds estimated above 10,000 gathered in the eighth wonder of the world to watch the Generals take on Beaumont's West Brook Bruins. A late season loss, plus the fact that the Generals were playing the second ranked team in the state seemed to predict that MacArthur was going to be on the short end of a blowout, but these odds only in- spired the Generals to play harder, and that they did. Plagued by turnovers during the first half, the Generals found themselves down 14-O at the intermission. At halftime the crowd was enter- tained by the Big Red Marching Machine. The band, along with the award winning Brigade Belles, ex- cited the fans for the second half of the game. The third quarter was highlighted with the Generals marching 37 yards on 7 plays, to cut the margin in half. A fumbled punt set up the Bruins' third touchdown, but the Generals had far too much momentum to give up. Quarterback, Greg Cox, led them 51 yards to a touchdown on the ensuing kickoff in just 7 plays. After a strong defensive showing, MacArthur was awarded the ball with 2:27 left in the game at their own 39. From there, Cox engineered a drive to the Bruin 46. However, all hopes of an upset were snuffed out when Beaumont's All- State safety Darryl Owens made a clean interception at the Bruin 12 yard line. The final 1:22 featured West Brook running out the clock as they handed MacArthur their fifth and final loss of the season. Greg Cox passes for needed yardage, General fans salute the football team for a job well done. ! l dps by
