At half time of the Van game the score was 24-16 in favor of the Vandals. A pass from Dwayne Ellis to Ronnie Daugherty tied the score at 24-24, but the Vandals scored again to win the game, 32-24. During the game against Brownsboro, Dwayne Ellis passed to Matthew Green for the Tribe's only touchdown. The Bears had a total of 32 points, and the defense just couldn't hold them. Wills Point defeated Grand Saline by a score of 39-O, on six mis-direction plays and three extra points. In the last quarter the Indians had the ball on the 4- yard line, but the Tigers inter- cepted. The Indians repeatedly drove the ball down the field but always ended up fumbling.
