Akers proved that his amazing run was no coincidence, since he shot down the field 84 yards on the kick off return against Burleson. Akers holds numerous awards testifying to his sports savy. He was named to the first-team All- Districr as a defensive back, All-area first team, All- Norrheast Tarranr County defensive back, and numerous other awards in baseball.

Burleson served as second year quarterback and as co-football team captain. Photo by: Kevin Campbell Dale Akers rmw by sim Ymrng I think Bell had a great ball club, they had an excellent game plan. They mixed up the pass and run plays well. I really think they did a super job, said Carlos Berry, head coach, about the 55-0 shut out by the L.D. Bell Blue Raiders. The Raiders went on to be defeated by Beaumont in the the State Cham- pionship game. Photo by Doug Wallace.

J! he Rebels managed ,a touchdown drive, following a short Trinity punt, and the gap narrowed 22-7. But Trinity gained 21 points in the 4th quarter, destroying any hope of a Rebel comeback. With The Richland Homecom- ing crowd barely had time to get settled in their seats before the Rebel offense scored 14 more points before half, After the Homecoming ceremonies of halftime, the the Buffaloes scored a touchdown but their extra point conversion went wide. Trailing 6-3 early in the fourth quarter, Dale Akers Cseniorj faked a punt and scrambled three yards for a first down to keep the drive Team gains momentum as season progresses only three games remaining in the season, Richland met Sam Houston at Wilemon field. Kicker Scott Slater was called in three times to kick field goals, the latter of which was with 13 seconds left in the game and gave Richland the win. It was evident that it was going to be a long night for the Burleson Elks when Dale Akers fseniorj ran back the opening kick-off of the Burleson Elks game. Rebels scored two more touchdowns and the Rebel defense shut out every Elk drive. Giving in to the Haltom Buffalos in every statistic, the Rebels showed the Buf- falos and the crowd, that the only statistic that mattered in football was the final score. Scott Slater gave Richland their only score in the first half when he kicked a 22 yard field goal, while alive, then a 32 yard pass to joe McCoy Cjuniorj, an 18 yard run by Pat Kelley Csophomorej and a yard rumble by john Tissue gave Richland the lead, 10-6. The Buffaloes threatened late in the fourth quarter but Randy Wright Cjuniorj sacked Haltom quarterback Troy Roden for an 8 yard loss. The drive was finished and so were the Haltom Buffaloes. - Andy Dodson .J ,-. -, vs.. .. w ' - E2l'l'.72l' .'l?1R!alZ:aeTls.E+.fia-g'5:'ai?5.'i' ' 'ase-m',aiffe' .-gg'-efsfij'e3st'53f1,rvg'1'eH'rg-R Hfgseqfw , -- P,,g-,g'-,- '-.gl-3' ' --p-:'- ,rw -sz' r r ' rg' q-vsl:1glUiX,.2s 3 gfq. u-mf. 1' -L,lF'f',P',.. 1?alw-femur KU Z, 122,352-15535 ,.t1f:i.a1QtQg31',erafZ?aatI.EE:ffETm2. t.. s 1 ii'2- 'B -'t i'S 'fl'f - ii - '3'ls '59f '16'-1z 22 'EEi'- i':'i'-'55 -'3'i -e'i'5 ff3'-'-'!i'4 .. 31, r v V Q r Q , .ii .rr sr ' M Q, a 1 1 I '.'. re N - -.., ,W E.,g,,igai1f K as gag, E -f L Q Vt 3 i ,P 4- if . .'.U-luilil -. mg L - , K - .gseq nfs., . . .gt A -ji , , fl as-r if ,K 1 ,eg , - K .
