The Grant Union Hi Prospectors completed a very successful football season according to Coach Tommy Johnson, but most of the players thought they should have done better against Echo when they let the district championship slip through their fingers by two first downs. However, they couldn’t have felt too very bad with one loss, two ties, and five wins for a season record. GRANT 0, PRINEVILLE 32 In the opening game at Prineville the Cowboys made short work of Grant, revenging the 13-7 score handed them at fair time last year. It was a one- sided affair most of the way with the Prospectors threatening only once, that being a drive to the Cowboy 35-yard line. A fumble stopped Grant there. The outcome was settled by Prineville, mostly through the air. The Cowboys either set up or scored all their touchdowns through a sustained passing attack. GRANT 19. PRAIRIE CITY 6 It was a tense moment before the kick-off when the favored Panthers from Prairie City met Grant on the fairgrounds field in the clash that Prairie was supposed to win by two touchdowns. But the boys from Grant weren’t of the same opinion. This wasn’t the same team that had played Prineville the week before, this was a hard fighting and poweriul football machine that overcame the odds and went on to win by an impressive score. From a less radical standpoint it was a well played game by both sides, but Grant just held the edge in power.
