Put Bite on Rangers The potentially explosive Bulldogs put the bite on the South Seven powerhouse Benton Rangers at Benton in the season opener for both teams. The 22-21 victory signaled to Southwest Egyptian Confer- ence foes that Sparta would be a con- tender The fourth quarter proved to be Benton’s hope and downfall. The Rangers trailed 14-7 after three quarters but two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter put them in a 21-14 lead. But the Bulldogs brought fans to their feet when senior quarterback Paul Peck completed 39 and 21-yard passes to senior split end Jeff Amos, putting Sparta within one point. Again Paul Peck completed a pass to Jeff Amos for a two point conversion, the lead, and the victory as the frustrated Benton team failed to complete any of their four straight passes in the final two minutes.

Football Field Named in Memory A of C. B. Pierce Wc now dedicate this field to his memory.’ A quiet enveloped the crowd as the loud speaker interrupted the enthusias- tic pre-game chants of the Pinckneyville- Sparta game. Saturday, September 23, 1978. Before the opening kickoff, the Marching Bulldogs paraded onto the field, keeping in step with a single drum as the flag was raised. Principal Jim Romano began the dedication ceremonies by describing the man who, before his death on March 29, 1978, had served as superin- tendent of the Unit District 140 from 1966-1974 Mr. Clarence B Pierce spent 41 years as an educator, administrator, coach, and sports official. Next, Mr. Loren Eddleman, present superintendent, made the dedication to Mrs. G B Pierce, who graciously accepted this tribute to her late husband. After many nameless years, the SHS football field became a fitting testi- monial to one of the district’s most out- standing educators.
