Linda McDonald and Kim McClanahan are hot stuff! Guess who? Senior Will Odum plays for hit last homecoming game at Dupo High. The 1983 Homecoming football game was once again played against the Red Bud Musketeers. With Homecoming Week keeping everyone’s spirits high, the Varsity Tigers had no plans for ruining the excitement filled week. The Tigers came out of the locker room, ready to face the Musketeers, only to find a tunnel, formed by the great fans, stretching from the goalpost to the fifty yard line. The Tigers wasted no time and scored two touchdowns in the first quarter. Jim Hoge scored the first TD from three yards out; and Chris Cobb caught a 36 yard pass from Jim Jarvis for the second score of the game. At the end of the first quarter, the Tigers were leading 12-0. Second quarter action proved to be even better as the team racked up 15 more points. Hoge scored his second touchdown, with Mike Long catching the 2-point conversion pass from Jarvis. The scoring continued as Cobb caught another Jarvis pass for the last touchdown of the half. Colin McClenahan kicked the extra point, making the score at halftime, Dupo 27 and Red Bud 0. During the halftime resting period for the Tigers, winners of the float competition were announced. Freshmen won first place, Seniors placed second and Sophomores and Juniors got a pat on the back as each class deserved some credit for all the time and effort put forth on the floats. Also featured during halftime was the traditional presenting of the Homecoming Queen candidates and the retiring queen, as each girl circled the track, riding in the neatest car made available to her. When the halftime festivities ended, the Tigers came roaring out of the locker room. On the first series in the second half, the squad put together a drive that was capped by Hoge’s third touchdown of the game. While the offense was busy making touchdowns, the defensive unit was recording their third shutout in the first five games of the season. The defense even scored a touchdown as Mike Simmons intercepted a pass and ran 39 yards for the score. Robbie Schmitt kicked the extra point which turned out to be the last point of the game. At the end of the third quarter, the Tigers led by a whopping 40-0 score. During the fourth quarter, the Sophomores and Freshmen played to earn valuable game experience. This made the 1983 Homecoming even more fun as every class was represented in the game. Although no scoring occurred during the last quarter, the game remained very exciting and spirited. The final score was Dupo 40 and Red Bud 0, proving once again that homecomings at Dupo High are Tiger property. HOMECOMING 7
