Both teams played good defensive ball during the first period and swapped punts until the quarter was nearly over. Cleburne finally broke away and scored its winning touch- down 5 minutes into the second quarter. Richfield got off one good drive, but half time activities be- gan with no change in the score. The second half was no brighter for the Rams. Although they made several triesg penalties, interceptions, and uncompleted passes kept them from cashing in their chances. Cle- burne was able to do little better. A strong defense featuring James Nelson, Jeff Kearney, Larry Bracco, Gary Freeman, Boyd Hadaway, and Hays Moore kept the Jackets from scoring again. Richfieldis last at- tempt ended in an interception with 29 seconds showing on the clock, and Cleburne took over to watch the final seconds tick away.
