Victory: Fin! Big Five Title The Vikings celebrated Thanksgiving a day early as they appropriately withstood an Indian uprising and es- caped with a scintillating 16- 13 victory over the tribe from Choctaw. The Chocs drew first blood as they recovered a Viking fumble on their own 38. Vince Bruner then fired a strike to Cary Hines who was finally downed on the Vikes 3 yard line. After two cracks at the Viking defense, Bill Sanderson manuevered his way over left tackle for a 6-0 Choctaw lead. The PAT was good and FWB trailed 7-0. The hard-hitting skirmish con- tinued throughout the second quarter before the Vikings mounted an offensive of their own and ended when Ron En- clade dented the Indians' forte from 4 yards out and the In- dian advantage was trim- med to 7-6 with 41 seconds remaining in the first half. The Vikings got another break a few seconds later as a Cary Hines' pass found that it was in the hands of the Vikings 134!Choctaw safety, Tom Dewald who re- turned it into enemy territory. Bobby Mikel hit tight-end Alan Winslette with a 34 yard pass and with only 3 seconds remaining, Ron Enclade's FC found its mark as the buzzer sounded and gave the Vikings a 9-7 lead at the half. The Vikings increased their lead in the third quarter as En- clade climaxed a long drive by knifing through the Indian stronghold for a 1 yard touch- down and a 16-7 lead. The Indians, not to be out- done, fought back and with 10 minutes left in the final quar- ter, Bill Sanderson tomma- hawked the Vikings as he sprang from a host of Viking tacklers and charged 82 yards for a TD which cut the Viking lead to 16-13. The remainder of the battle was a tough defensive struggle with neither team threatening. Then with 4 minutes remain- ing, Choctaw mounted a drive which almost turned defeat to victory. The Indians moved deep into Viking territory as they converted two third down plays and one fourth down situation. Mike Hro- madka dropped Sanderson to halt the Indian charge and preserve a Viking victory.

A Dwalea' Homecoming The Vikings tasted defeated for the second week in a row as they were outscored by the Godby Cougars, 30-21. The Cougars scored first after intercepting a pass and return- ing it to the Viking 6 yard line. The Vikes came right back and went ahead 7-6 as Tony Durham scored from 26 yards out after Kim Duncan recov- ered a Godby fumble. A few plays later, Mike Ammons re- covered another fumble and Enclade then hit Greg Worley with a touchdown pass giving the Vikings a 13-6 lead. Godby came right back with a quick touchdown pass, cutting the Vikings' lead to 13-12. Godby scored again before the half following a fumble and they led at the half, 18-13. Godby took the second half kickoff and marched 60 yards for a score and a 24-13 lead. The Vikings retaliated a few plays later when Enclade scored from 2 yards out bring- ing the Vikings to within 3 points of the lead at 24-21. Fort Walton's last bid for vic- tory was quelled as its final drive was stopped on a fourth down play that failed to pick up the first down. Godby scored again with 1:18 left and won the ball game, 30-21. Tim I-lendrixson expresses words of recogni- tion for those who have stepped forward. Tony Durham assists on a Viking tackle.
