The undefeated Plainsmen soared into district with victories against over-ranked Plainview and hapless Coronado. Many local sports writers predicted that Plainview would be the Plainsmen’s greatest challenge, but a good week of workouts and some in- spiring billboards boosted the ’Men to a 21-0 win. The defensive “Peon Power” limited the Bulldogs to only 49 yards rushing. Arch rivals Coronado offered little more com- petition. In fact, the only worry the Mustangs could muster for the ’Men was a single touchdown resulting in a final score of 40-7. The Red and Blue racked up 420 total yards and held the Ponies to only 199. Coronado proved that it was first in spray paint, first in car bashes and last in offensive scoring power. With only Lubbock High and Hereford remaining on the schedule, Monterey was infected once again with “play-off’ fever! 1- Culling through the hole.

Plainsman players got it together at halftime and came out and beat the Westerners, 28-7. This game clinched a playoff berth for the ’Men and kept the Silver Spurs in Plainsman possession. During the game, quarterback Ron Reeves broke the school scoring record for a season which set a year ago. By scoring three of the four touchdowns during the Lubock High game. Reeves totaled 102 points in the regular season with one game still left to play.
