Hall makes a leap catch over de- fender during Rebel game. The season didn ' t seem to be going very well. After losing five games in a row, we were getting pretty discouraged. Then finally, we hit the jackpot in the Mineral Wells game. The Rams scored first late in the first quarter, but we came back when PhiUip Sanders got a touchdown. The next time we got the ball, the Buffs drove 99 yards, with Frair going the final yard. Mineral Wells got a field goal in the third quarter, but Haltom countered with a touchdown by McFarland. The Rams made another score at the last of the third period, but at the end of the game, the scoreboard read 21-17. Victory at last ! ! Buffalos went to Dixieland to get a Johnny Rebel - well, we tried, any- way. During this last game of the season, with our friendly (?) rival, spirits were high and the team was ready to go. Unfortunately, they never could get going during the game. The Rebs scored twice in the first half. Haltom fought the ball to the one-yard line, but were unable to get by Richland ' s tough defense. Richland scored again in the third period, making the final score 21-0. Final results of the ' 71 season - 1-4 in district and 4-6 overall.

A busload of Haltom football players piled out in Wichita Falls, hoping to break a losing streak by defeating Rider, a rival ever since Coach Tyler came to Haltom. However, rider showed their ex-coach that his training was still remembered and was still in effect, this was not a night for the Buffs to be out-of-town. They made only one first down the entire game. The only bright spot in that gloomy night was when Chamberlin Sanders returned a kickoff for 75-yards to the 25-yard line, only having the Buffs lose the ball on downs. Rider played very good football offensively and defensively. They made three TDs making it 21-0, Rider. After recovering from a banged up knee, McFarland runs the single wing against the Raiders.
