The Gophers were ahead at the half by a score of 14-7, but the Cats came back and with the aid of Flettig, scored three additional touch- downs to make the score 28-14. The game seemed to be won, but with 1:04 left in the game, the Gophers took the kick off late in the second quarter.

With only one game separating the Cats from the State Championship game, they traveled to Lubbock to conquer the Hereford Whitefaces. Hereford struck quickly as they ran for a sixty-three yard touchdown from the first play of the scrimmage. The Lake Highlands Wildcats were able to of set the Whitefaces as they came back and tied the game juniors Calvin Henry and Aaron Grant. As a whole, the Wildcats knew little about the Lions. Senior Don Brown commented, From what I saw in the films they were explosive but not very disciplined. Windell Yancy also stated, They were good, but l knew if we could get our running game going and keep their offense bottled up , then we could win the game. tcontlnued on page 181 ' -.
