Haltom Tie Highlights Season The final score read 27-27 but the unbeaten record was intact Many of the players accredited the victory to the intensity of the game. We were playing on emotion, Brad Koskelin said. Haltom had us beaten. I think they reached the point where they had us pinned, but couldn't do it, The idea of actually defeating us probably in- timidated them a little. Oddly, after playing the most inspired ball of the season, the Rebs started their tailspin after the Haltom game. Grapevine came into Birdville looking for a win, and found it. After scoring a TD on its first pos- session, Grapevine was never threatened by the Rebs, and won 21-11. Trinity was next on the agenda. The previous week the Trojans That, coupled with some of the local sports journalist picking Richland to win had Trinity ready for the game. But the Rebs rose to the occasion, and narrowly missed winning. Trinity was able to hold off Richland 27-21. The Rebs went into the Homecom- ing game needing a win and found what they needed by beating Sam Houston 27-17. Although the final score was close, it was a gome of dominace for the Rebs. The next week brought the final win of the year against Burleson 35- 15. The game was not much of a contest. An indication was that Jeff Clark, normally a defensive mainstay, scored one of the Rebel touchdowns on an offensive run from scrimmage. The final three weeks comprised the worst stretch for the local team. They were outscored 98-30. Bell was the first to take advan- tage, they blew out the Rebs 24-O. District surprise Arlington was next. At the time, they were just com- ing into the groove that would lead them to the state quarterfinals. The Rebs got the brunt of the offensive prowess of the Colts, losing 49-7. Richland was picked to win the final game of the year against Martin. How- ever, the Warriors were able to sur- prise the war-torn Rebs by a score of 25-23. We were a lot better than our record indicates, Mark Ball said. Somewhere along the line, we lost our edge.
