Strong Finish Counter Mid eason Slump Paschal opened the 1969 football season in grand style by upsetting heavily favored Highland Park. The Scotties' highly acclaimed offense was shut out by a determined Panther defensive effort, while the offense pushed across a lone touchdown which proved to be all that was needed. The following week, a steady rain, as well as a tough Arlington team, dampened Paschal spirits with a 13-O de- feat, and unfortunately, things were to get worse before they got better. Wichita Falls Rider ran over, around, and through the Panther line en route to a 37-O whitewash. Then came Poly and Terrell and Western Hills and Southwest. Poly broke up a score- less battle in the last minute for a 6-O win, its first in sixteen years over the Panthers. Then Terrell muscled its way past P.H.S. with the help of several important breaks and Paschal's untimely mistakes. As Paschal prepared for the start of district competition, they found themselves facing the two most highly rated teams in the city. First came the Cougars of Western Hills who rallied to overcome a tenacious Panther effort for a slim 17-12 win. Against Southwest, Paschal offered the same stub- bornness but fell short, this time by 24-17. Homecoming and Arlington Heights was to be a different story. The Panthers got back on the win- ning track with their first conquest of the Yellow Jackets in five long years. As usual the game was a close one, but this time Paschal came out on top by a 20-14 margin. This hard fought victory seemed to put new life into the Panthers as they met a powerful Bryan team and looked quite impressive in their 15-7 upset of the Broncos. In the final contest of the season, P.H.S. took on old rival North Side. The Steers could not contain a tough Paschal running attack, and the Panthers rolled up a 33-12 score for their third straight win and a 2-2 district mark.
