Football Excellence Excels The freshman football team learn- ed to work with their new coaches and the upper classmen. Rob Bohls said he found that the football cir- cuit was more competitive in high school than in middle school and that strong competition always helped to bring out the best in future games. Todd McCauley said the intensity that Coach Tighe built up inside him made him want to play. R. J. Keeler said it brought out the best of the P.H.S. athletes. The junior varsity football team was in the middle. They had taught the freshmen and learned from the varsity as well as learning from themselves. Jeff Minzenmayer said it was hard work and it will pay off in the future. He added that he was looking for- ward to the upcoming season. Allen Preece said that he liked the physical contact involved in the sport. Most of these players will be replacing the loss of the skilled seniors from this year, on varsity next year. . . .

Overconfidence Not a Problem SCOREBOARD Leander Hays Burnet Taylor Waco Midway Luling Smithville LaGrange Elgin Columbus Them 14 12 0 12 0 17 0 6 2 14 Although the 1984-85 panther Varsity football team ex- perienced a winning season, the players were expecting another season like the previous year. Bruce Stiles com- mented, “We were afraid of the same thing happening. We didn’t want to have a winning season, and then end it by losing. The season did end the same, but the team had different feel- ings. “Players felt that this year's team was not overconfident, and they did not under-estimate the potential abilities of the other teams, said Rusty Teston. The bi-district game this year was not as tough as last year, against Brookshire Royal, but we still had the same challenges against Columbus facing us,” commented Bruce Stiles. Silence fills the stadium as the Panther offense, and the Burnet bulldogs line up for play as the referee watches. 94 FOOTBALL Photo By Senior quarterback Kevin Levels looked back at an Elgin Wildcat as he makes a quick escape from the line of scrimmage.
