Since that first step, it seems as though seniors have traveled a thousand miles before reaching the final goal of graduation. A senior, high man on the totem pole, is oft’ to feel quite important and pleased with himself for attaining this top position. These are the seniors--onc can’t help but wish them all the luck as they emerge, diplomas in hand, ready to set the world on fire. 26 HORTEMCIA ABREGO FHA 1; Pan American 2,3; FTA 3; DECA Alternate 4.

PSJA drove 76 yards but had to settle with a field goal. The Greyhounds later drove 48 yards to the Bear one, but Mario Ayala stopped 'Hound Scott Brady for two plays.

In the second quarter, Lupe Salinas and Richard Denbo led a 76 yard drive to the Greyhound 4.

He stole an Alice pass inside the end zone and raced 81 yards before Coyote Aaron Bonds tripped him on the Alice 19. From there the Bears moved to the Alice three, but a penalty and then an Alice pass interception ended the Bears' only hope of pulling an upset over South Texas’s finest team. The Bears wound up with a 6-4 season record, and gave every team they played a grueling battle. In reality, the Bears are building for future massive efforts in 4A football. They were and will be always the Battlin' Bears. Robert Moreno gallops for 31 yards on a tricky quarterback keeper in the hair-raising struggle with the Stingarces.
