Patriots have some bright moments After completing an O-10 season last year, the Patriots came back determin- ed to fill up the win column, but Big Blue was not able to fulfill their hopes. There were, however, some bright spots in the otherwise bleak season. Along with several close games, the Pats won over Newman-Smith, 18-10, in their first win since defeating the Garland Owls, 14-3, duting the '79 season. Despite the lack luster season, the Patriots received outstanding play from many young athletes. Sophomores Clay Davis and Scott Delozier made several good showings on speciality teams against opposing upperclassmen. Pat Kuntz, who transferred from South Garland, moved up from J.V. at the end of pre-disctict and also had an outstan- ding season averaging six yards per carry. Quarterback-turned-safety Don Pearcy played well every game taking part in some key blocks and tackles. Mike Miller, Glenn Feild, Lawrence Robinson, Bobby Watters, Lang Raney, and Jerry Downey were named Garland News players of the week. Raney was also unanimous selection to the All-Garland team. Split end Lawrence Robinson, tackle Eli Perez and defensive linemen Gary Cantrell, Steve Blackshear and Wendell Mize received honorable mention. Mize and tight end Glenn Field were named second team All-District. Along with these two, tackle Steve Blackshear, guard Gary CAntrell, wide receiver Lawrence Robinson, quarter- back Bobby Watters, linebacker Lang Raney, defensive back Scott Delozier, and defensive lineman Vance Vonderheid received Honorable Men- tion All-District. Raney was also chosen by the Garland coaches as Defensive Player of the Year. Bobby Watters was Player of the Week three times during the season and earned the nickname Super Soph from Daily News Sports Editor Kyle Dantzler. Watters was also named Sophomore of the Year by the Garland coaches. To add to his list of honors and accomplishments the district coaches named LC's Super Soph District 10- 5A Sophomore of the Year. -------sggg, Tommy Foley holds the ball for a Pat Banks' feild goal at William's Stadium.

Close games cause exciting season The Junior Varsity had an exciting season with several close games against tough teams. Outstanding play from the offensive line and running backs contributed to that excitement, Jim Barnett, Kirk Fer- rel and Darren Williams played a major role in the success of the Lakeview offense. An even stronger defense was led by defensive back Roger Garcia, linebacker Jeff Waller and defensive end Brad Lucky. The Patriots defeated both the Highland Park Scots and the Rockwall Ycllowjackets l4-7. ln the Rockwall game, the Yellow- jaekets were heavily favorted, but this did not intimidate the Patriots. Outstanding players in the game includ- ed Mark Hamblin who in the first quarter caught a 3l yard pass from quarterback Ken Ferrell to set up his t 'T f! i x 5 ,av . ia 1 I f v Sophomore quarterback Mark Hamblin cocks his arm to throw another picturesque TD pass.

Ken Ferrell went three for five in passing for 56 yards. The team's record was 2-8, but as of- fensive lineman James Pulley said, I was a little bit disappointed in our record, but we got a lot accomplished this season. Now we're looking forward to playing on Varsity next year. The Pats take the field to begin another bal game. Patriot defensive lineman Jeff Waller awaits another victim.
