SDCMBBHHBBH Raiders Capture 4AAAA Football Crown TRAINER RANDALL DAY takes upon himself the job of cheering a tired Donald Ealey. PERMIAN . . . Clinching their 2nd straight undis- puted state class AAAA championship and their 29th straight victory, the Reagan Raiders rambled past the Odessa Permian Panthers 17-11. It was nip and tuck at first, with Permian taking the lead with a field goal, but the Raiders bounced back to jinx Mojo. Billy Schott booted his 11th field goal of the year to tie the score. With 2:51 left in the first half, Emory Bellard unleashed a 27-yard pass to Mike Bayer, who crossed the goal line for the tally. Schott kicked the extra point, upping Reagan ' s lead to 10-3 at the half. In the third quarter Donald Ealey trav- eled on a 13-yard jaunt into the end zone. Schott again kicked the extra point, giving Reagan a 14-point margin. It looked as if the Raiders had won the game, but Permian was determined to win. The Panthers snapped back and scored on a 10-yard toss. Then the Panthers gained two extra points by virtue of a pass. The paramount Reagan defense made the dif- ference though. They stopped a final Permian drive in Reagan territory, giving Reagan the victory. Odes- sa ended the season with an 11-4 mark. THE STATE GAME saw many sure tackles, including this one made on sturdy Mike Bayer (83). 138— Sports ' l
