On the plus side, Les Lewis threw the ball 7 times for 64 yards, and senior receiver Richard Smith caught 5 of those passes for 33 yards and a touchdown. Smith opened conference play by taking on the Hornets of Hazen. Les Lewis passed 7 times for 144 including a 25 yard touchdown strike to junior receiver Bill Parkinson. Lewis also scored on We should have had a better record, hurt by injuries. Richard Smith but we were really by Harding Academy and a thrashing of Central Arkansas Christian. This year's team was plagued with injuries but the Bruins were determined not to let their injuries hamper their season. At the beginning of the season, six of the eleven senior players were injured, so the underclassmen were asked to step into starting roles and mature early. The Bruins opened the season with a close loss to Rison Woodlawn by the score of 8-7. The Bruins scoring came by way of a two-yard run by senior quarterback Les Lewis and a PAT by senior place-kicker Curt Holton. The Bruins grabbed their first victory by defeating Mayflower 10-7. Scoring included a one- yard plunge by Les Lewis and a 26 yard field goal, which proved to be the game winner, by sophomore Jason Walton. The Bruin's first home game ended in defeat by Bauxite. Turnovers hurt the Bruins dearly Ain't it over yet? Senior Mark Rowland laments his predicament and awaits the end of a long football practice. also had two interceptions while leading the Bruin defense. The Bruins then travelled to Mountain Pine and were shocked 30-7. The only Bruin score came from senior tailback Kris Gillian with a touchdown run of 1 yard and Jason Walton added the point after. A week later, PA's home- coming, the Bruins took on Magnet Cove. The Bruins were victorious by the score of 14-8. The running game was impressive as senior fullback Brian Landers carried the ball 17 times for 124 yards and Kris Gillian carried 14 times for 72 yards. Curt Holton booted both PAT's. Magnet Cove threatened late but their hopes were killed when senior safety Stephen Niswanger intercepted a pass, his second of the evening. Senior Richard Smith said of the victory, Our running game was definitely the difference. We used wide splits to spread their defense and create larger holes. The line did a great job holding their blocks and Kris and Brian ran tough. lt was a big win for us! The next week, the Bruins the ground with a one yard touchdown run. Curt Holton kicked a PAT but the Bruins came up on the short end of the score by losing 2l-13. This gave the Bruins a record of2-4 and 0-l in the conference. The next Friday at home, the Bruins took on Des Arc. The game was marred by turnovers, of which the Bruins had eight. The positive marks of the game were two touchdown passes to Richard Smith and Brian Landers. However, the Bruins lost 28-14. The Des Arc coach com- mented that P.A. had been the only team that was able to move the ball against his team, even Hazen and Harding couldn't accomplish this feat. The Bruins then challenged the Scrappers from Cotton Plant. The Bruins prevailed by the score of 26-6. Brian Landers once again rushed for over 100 yards, had one rushing touchdown, and recovered a fumble which he carried in for a touchdown.
