168 Visions Dim inish Eighteen seniors had high hopes for the season, but dreams turned into visions of the past. The Panthers, highlight of the season was saved for the last game against St. Pius X. Going into the fourth quarter, St. Pius led 20-0, but four minutes were all the Pan- thers needed to score 21 points to cap off a 5-5 season record. The 18 seniors rallied as Blackwell scored twice, once on a one-yard run and once on a 40-yard pass. Then with five sec- onds to go, quarterback Tommy Kruse rolled right and as the time expired, the ball sailed through the air into the sure hands of J ack Pickren in the end zone to tie the game at 20. Then sophomore, Steve Senior runningback, Brad Blackwell tam rune sweep right for a big yard- age agaust Harrisonville during a 26-15 loss. Principal Roger Rankin congratu- tates sophomore kicker, Steve Lin- lhger, after he kicked the game win- mng point agaimt St. Pits X in a 21-20 victory. Lininger stepped onto the fier to kick the extra point to show the Panther Pride on a come from behind victory. ,0 The team had looked forward to a strong V season, but injuries didn,t help matters as senior J eff Pugh had knee surgery follow- ing the Sedalia game.
