R26 - Ue i a L 6 Pincvillc defeated cross-town rival Menard 26-6 to repeat for the second straight time as District 3-AA champs. It marked the third time that the Rebels have won the district title in the school's ten-year history. Making the contest more interesting was the fact that both teams came on the field with perfect 3 0 district marks, thus setting up the championship game. Big Wayne Martin, Reb fullback, scored the first marker for the Red and Gray on a two-yard plunge after J. C. Rachal recovered an Eagle bobble on the two-yard line. Martin also ran the PA.T. Quarterback David Bates sparked the win with his timely passes and runs. He passed to David Funderburk in the fourth quarter on a play that covered thirty-nine yards. A twenty-three yard pass play to end Charley Frantom in the second quarter was his other TD tally. Funderburk got his other score in the second quarter on a forty-two yard run from the double-reverse play. Menard s lone score came in the second quarter on a two-yard plunge by quarterback Buddy Ceasar. Helping to win the district championship against Menard arc defenders Besson and Frantom, along with Pcevy, Funderburk, and Rachal. Jejuunqs 48 - RpJwJk 12 Tommy Webster Vada Westbrook Pincvillc suffered one of its worst defeats in history as the Jennings Bulldogs overran the proud Rebs with a score of 48-12. Pincvillc scored first on a drive following the opening kickoff when fullback Gary Girod sneaked over from the one. When the Bulldogs were unable to get a ground game started they took to the air and scored three times and set up a,fourth TD. All were thrown by All-State tailback Ken Cormier. The Rebs received a jolt when All-District tackle Mike Pcevy was ejected from the game after the first Pincvillc TD. The game wa consistently marred by penalties. The defending State Champs were still in the thick of the game until the Bulldogs pushed over their fourth tally. Then it was all Jennings with Pinevilie's second and last marker coming on a one-yard smash by Wayne Martin late in the game. Lindsey Bowen Robert Waites
