.g .. .... 9 Pats come in forthe kill. the Yellowjackets in a game that turned out to be one of the most exciting of the season. The crowd came alive in the first quarter when Ronald Garza covered a Yellowjacket fumble on the Rockwall 20. Three plays later Delozier broke his way through 13 yards into the endzone. Haynes' kick after gave the Pats a 7-O lead. But Rockwall was to come back and in the third quarter the score was 14-7, Yellow- jackets. The Pats came charg- ing back, however, as soon as they got the ball. A beautifully executed pitchout from quar- terback Danny Hamblin to Brown Delozier, who rambled 53 yards to pay dirt, and a suc- cessful extra point tied the score 14-14.

some close calls kept the Pats from scoring again. But the defense did not allow Ftockwall to move the ball either. Game three brought victory again for Lakeview with a 21-7 win over the Newman Smith Trojans. Delozier was again a standout carrying the ball 20 times for 83 yards and a touch- down. Denny Norris also added six when he broke loose on a 40 yard punt return as did Gary Evans. Lakeview's Homecoming game October 5 filled Memorial Stadium with Patriot Pride and excitement as the Pats took on arch rival South Garland. The Colonels had been picked to finish high in the 10-AAAA standings at the beginning of the season, but the halftime found them locked in a 0-0 tie with the determined Pats. They managed to get 6 points in the second half to end up with a 6- 0 win over Lakeview, but it was no easy score. The Pats played tough throughout the game and the score could have gone eitherway. The next week saw the Patri- ots make an amazing come- back after being behind 10-0 against North Mesquite's Stal- lions at the half. A touchdown by Danny Hamblin and a two point conversion by Norris cut the Stallions lead to two points. After a short punt by the Stal- lions, Lakeview came back with a touchdown pass from Hamblin to Delozier and an extra point from Norris and appeared to have another win sewed up. The Stallions were not to be denied, however, coming back with only four seconds remain- ing to take away Lakeview's victory 17-15.
