Fi PLEFTSFTIXIT SUHI lilbli lt was the game of the season, was Jr. Michelle Thompson's description of this year's Homecoming game, the first Home- coming win in six years. We all thought it was a lost cause until the remarkable fourth quarter, A depressing first half had all the Oly's fans yawning. With a number of incom- plete passes, interceptions and Heritage's field goal and touchdown, Gateway felt pretty blue until the halftime festivities be- gan. First the band performed a few numbers and the Pom-Pons did a new routine to the song Beginnings, They were followed by the presentation of awards to the class floats, and introduction of the royalty. Then a spectacular fireworlss display set the stage for the exciting second half coming up. During the third quarter, we all thought for sure Heritage had us whipped, The of- fense was inconsistent yet another time. Gateway gained a total 278 yards but tur- novers and penalties tools a heavy toll until the fourth quarter, The Olys finally brolxe the ice after o Heritage turnover when auarterbacls, Jr, Dri- an Letofslsy, zinged a 10 yard scoring pass to wide receiver, Sr. Donnell Smith and running back, Jr, Joe l-lamm's two point conversion run set the mood for the winning jaunt. With 5186 left in the game, Sr. Jason John- son's score, a 54 yard run, was what over- tools Heritage: leaving the score at 15-11. After Johnson's score, Heritage ruined their chances for winning by fumbling. Clockwise from left: Wide receiver, Sr, Donnell Smith, scores the winning run while tightened, Jr. Don Pfannenstiehl, signals a touch- down. A large job of the cheerleaders is to get the crowd rowdy, which isn't a hard task during the exciting fourth quarter. ending with a score of 15-11. Fullbacl-2, Sr. Rob Zalanlsa, blocks a Heritage linebacl-ser for a Gateway first down. Fullbacls, Sr, Jason Johnson, gets the ball and does some fancy footworls to outrun a Heritage defender.
