The South Fell The week of Homecoming was one full of emo t1on for Lakeview supporters as the Patriots an ticipated the game against their greatest rivals the South Garland Colonels The week s activities came to a climax Friday October 7 as the one and only Patriots defeated the Colonels for the first time in Lakeview history with a score of 25 18 Emotions ran high Friday as always prior to a Lakeview South confrontation The purpose of school was almost but not quite forgotten as ex citement and tension mounted among both teachers and students as they prepared for THE game of the year The fans began the battle long before the players hit the field with shouting matches that in cluded the popular chant The South Shall Fall' Then the Patriot football team charged through the sign held by the cheerleaders with the roar of the fans virtually drowning out the band s fight song The ultimate contest commenced The Patriots fell behind ln the first quarter by a score of 3 12 with the only Patriot points coming from a 20 yard field goal by Jerry Suarez The Patriots battled back though in the second quarter with a touchdown on a quarterback sneak by Bobby Watters At halftime trailing by two points a victory was a possibility for either team As the teams left for the locker room the fans rose to their feet and yelled their continued support With the end of the third quarter the Colonels held a commanding lead of 10 18 and the Patriots dream of a victory seemed to be slowly dying Loyal Patriots kept cheering but with less enthusiasm until hearts soared as Brad Lucky recovered an SG fumble on the Colonels 45 yard line Takmg advantage of the turnover Lakeviews Anthony Johnson later took the ball in from the eight yard line for six points. The Wat- ters tied the game with a two point conversion that brought the score to 18418. With momentum and the remembrance of the previous year's tie, the six minutes remaining were all that was needed. Johnson scored the winning touchdown on a run from the 10 yard line and brought the final score to 25-18. Tears flowed and hugs were exchanged as Lakeview fans gathered on the field with the foot- ball team to victoriously sing the alma mater, as the seniors of '84 treasured every moment of their last Lakeview-South game. ttif at S Mmm wasps rx Skis MM Qfissxmsbf its Patriot Jerry Suarez kicks the football to awaiting South Garland players
