Former Cinderella luck sfazilfgrasragi1fs:2.2.2zzfmiflzgifsfzzs eludes determined Lions Luck, that fickle possession of the Cinderella team a year ago, was ap- parently used up as the fighting Lions had win after win snatched away in the closing minutes, some- times seconds, of several games. Student involvement and spirit seemed important in the first victory of the year. Many players com- mented that seeing cheering fans in the stands gave them that little extra push they needed. Northwest Classen was the Lions' first victim, and they had an appa- rently easy time of it, beating the ltii' il .- 1-s f' ff Lo' 138 Knights in a runaway, 27-O. Coach Don Hodd dubbed the team the 'tAngry Red after that game. Sept. 9 the Lions played to a full house at Del City, billed as one of the top two games in the state for that weekend. lt lived up to its rating. The game was not decided until the last few seconds when a fourth down effort, that might have kept a winning drive alive, failed. Many felt that the team could hold their heads high despite the 14-6 loss, they had given the number one rated team a run for the money. The Lions bounced back next week to beat a highly rated Midwest City team, 21-13. lt was the second upset win in two years. The game was decided in the last few seconds when a pass interception call gave the Lions another attempt for a touchdown. Then the boom fell on U.S. Grant at Southside Stadium, Sept. 22. The Lions walked away with that one easily, 42-6. Bishop McGuiness was next on the list, and the powerful Lions were beginning to look indestructible as they whipped the lrish 34-2. The boom fell again. This time, however, it was on the Lions. A third quarter blitz of three touchdowns by the fired-up Eagles put the Lions out of reach. They lost an important Boomer Conference game, 34-19. ,towing the loss to Ncrman, -33-7. COMPACT MODEL of an MHS cheerleader I . AGZQNIZING DEFEAT doesi-thot spirit of students as they gather on the

Cinderella luck fcont'dl The Lions weren't out the playoff picture . . . not yet. They could still win their remaining games and make it to the playoffs. By then, however, luck had deserted them. The breaks began to fall the wrong way. With Homecoming came the Bulldogs of Altus. The game was preceeded with the usual festivities. There were parades and floats and door decoration contests. And the game was every bit as exciting as its billing. lt was a defensive battle to the very end. With only a few minutes to goin the game, the Lions led 8-7, but enough time remained for the Bulldogs to pull off a heart-breaker, 13-8. The Lions enjoyed their final vic- tory of the season against the Law- ton Wolverines, 21-14, and looked forward to the big game of the year. . . Norman. Beat Norman became a familiar battle cry. Again the game was pre- ceeded with good-natured en- thusiasm and festive events. And just like instant replay, the game was everything it was played up to be. With two minutes remaining the Lions took a 7-6 edge. lt was a mat- ter ofthe defense holding the Tigers back. Up to then they had been pretty successful, but the Tigers put on a spectacular drive to win the game with two seconds remaining. The final score was 13-7. A final game remained against Putnam City West. The season ended much the same way as it had been in so many other games. It looked as though the Lions would go into overtime. But again, as it had happened so many times before, the Patriots pulled it out in the final sec- onds, walking away with a thriller, 14-7. Even the final tally was an indica- tion of a close year. The Lions won five and lost five to break even. Luck was with them one year, it deserted them the next. A year from now? Well, with a little bit of luck . ..
