AA Football Team Sets Best eason Record in 27 Years Winning seven games and los- ing only three, the Indians had the best season record in 27 years and a third place in district. The Tribe scored a total of 184 yards to 144 by their opponents in the ten games. Darkness descended on Person's Stadium when lightning struck a transformer in the fourth quarter of the Indians's first game against the Mineola Jackets. The Tribe came out on top with a 41-0 shutout. John Thomas was picked for the season's first East Texas Honor Roll. Bryan-Adams J. V . didn't shake the Tribe up at all: in fact, the Indians made their second shutout for the season along with their second pre-district win. The Cougars got by with three first downs to the Indian's 15. The Indians made it three wins in a row when they defeated the Edgewood Bulldogs. Todd Hum- phrey gained 104 yards in 22 car- ries, and Ronny Clower was the leading tackler with 11 . Hopes for a 4-O record were destroyed when they lost their first game against the Linden- Kildare Tigers. Lanier Richey made the first touchdown on a one-yard keeper in the third quarter. The Tigers scored 21 points in the first half, but the Indian defense tightened in the second half and the Tigers failed to score again.

AA The Indians got their first dis- trict win when they defeated the Canton Eagles. David Carroll was the leading rusher with 91 yards. The Indian defense went like clockwork, working so well on pass defense that Canton's quarterback managed to put the ball in the air only twice. Defeating the Mabank Panthers gave the Indians a 2-O district record with their first out-of- town game of the season. The Panthers were ahead at halftime, 12-8. Doug Koonce intercepted two Panther passes, and the Indians scored two touchdowns. Mike Maciel ended all Mabank's hopes by intercepting the last pass with only 13 seconds left in the game. The final score was Indians 26, Panthers 24. VN.
