MON' Mojo magic zaps ’Men Silence. Silence filled the stands as Ron Reeves was tackled for the last time of the ’77 season. No one could believe that the ’Men had not won the game in the final seconds as they had done so many times before. Even though the entire city of Lubbock sent “good luck” letters to Monterey, the gridders fell by a score of 7-3 to the Permian Panthers in the state quar- ter-final playoffs in Odessa. Scoring on their second possession, the ’Men took an early lead by driving to the one-yard line and booting a field goal. Late in the second quarter the Mojos pushed the ball over the goal line and added the PAT. Ex- citement rose at the last of the fourth as the Plainsmen took the pigskin deep in their own territory. With seconds quickly ticking off the clock, MHS began a fabulous passing attack and picked apart the Permian secon- dary. The drive ended when Permian recovered a MHS fumble, but the ’Men soon regained control of the ball when the defense held the Mojo defense to less than ten yards. This time the ’Men reached Permian’s 19 yard line, where they were finally stopped by the clock. Before playing Permian, the ’Men fought their way through bi-district and regional playoffs. Bi-district saw the ’Men in Amarillo battling with the small, but quick Tascosa Rebels. The MHS defense cut off all Rebel scoring, and the offense rallied once with a touchdown pass. The final score was 7-0. Traveling to El Paso to play the Bel Air Highlanders in the Sun Bowl, the gridders had problems getting psyched up to play a team with a 6-5 record. The ’Men fumbled five times and allowed the Highlanders 17 points, even though the El Paso team only made one first down. The ’Men refused to lose, however, as they came back with a score every time the Highlanders put points on the board. The game ended with a score of 36-25. Athletics 27
