VARSITY FOOTBALL Tied for fourth Bowie, Burleson only district victories by Allen Payne Coming out of pre-season the defense was rated number one in the district, and the Buffs had won their first game. At Burleson, the Buffs picked up their second straight win. However, this would be the last time they were to taste victory for five weeks. Looking at their district record of two and four, one might conclude that the Buffs did not have a good football team, but their record is misleading. Except for the games played against Sam Houston and Richland, the Buffs kept their opponents in a close game, but always ended slightly behind on the scoreboard. Playing the second of only four home games, the Buffs seemed to fall apart both offensively and defensively against Sam Houston, the team picked to win district. Sam Houston, received the opening kick-off and on the second play of the game scored a touchdown, the first of many to come. The Haltom offense never saw the end zone. Traveling to Cravens Field, the Buffs fac- ed the Arlington Colts, the team that had previously defeated Sam Houston. But the Buffs were not dismayed. They were sure of a victory and came darn close to an upset. The lead went from team to team, but Arl- ington kicked a field goal in the fourth quarter putting them in the lead until the final minutes ticked offthe clock. The Buffs returned to Cravens Field the following week and fell to the Lamar Vikings. There was no game the next Friday, so the Buffs rested up for the last two games. Although some people had given up on the football team, the team was not about to give up on themselves. The defense dominated the game against Bowie, coming up with five interceptions by Don Det- ryberry, Wayland Hawkins, jay Mitchell, Shawn Maynor, and Gene Parish. The victory over Bowie renewed everyone's hopes of a victory over Richland, undefeated in district and already district champions. But Haltom was unable to spoil their record. After football season, the football coaches of the district teams voted on the top players in each position. Making First Team All-District on offense was john McPherson in the tightend position. Runn- ingbacks Gary McCarley and Danny Howeth and Lineman David Thomas were named Second Team All-District on offense. Offensive Honorable Mention was given to lineman Roger Proffitt and Allan Boyer and tighend Bobby Gregory. Lineman jaysen Maurice was the only defensive player nam- ed First Team All-District. Defensive lineman Craig Sanderson and defensive back Don Derryberry were named Second Team All4District. Defensive Honorable mention was given to lineman Dana Stroud, linebackers Gene Parish and Wayland Hawkins, andjay Mitchell who played in the secondary. When a player received ten or more Cobras, which he got from making a good play, he became a Headhunter. Members of the headhunters were jay Mitchell, Danny Howeth, Dana Stroud, Gary McCarley, jaysen Maurice, john McPherson, Wayland Hawkins, Don Derryberry,Shawn Maynor, Gene Parish, and Craig Sanderson. is Emotions run high as the band plays and the football players and cheerleaders raise their fingers in the air after the convincing win over the Bowie Volunteers, 21-10. 01807.01 pp Safety Don Derryberry, I-TV, deflects the ball out of the reach of Bowie receiver. 5- ' E, 331 A ,f V 4 A . .. .
