X RE XGAN EN . The Cougars were then ready to take on the Sam Houston Cherokees. Doing exceptionally well against the Cherokees was fullback William Banfield, gaining 174 yards in 26 carries for an amazing six touchdowns. Vrana tallied the final touchdown as kicker Rob Humble kicked the last of his seven suc- cessful conversion attempts. The playoff victory was the Cougor's first in five post-game season games. The journey to Corpus Christi proved very pra- fitable as the Cougars proved themselves worthy of being the Area Champions, when they beat the undefeated Edinberg Bobcats. Hooper had a big night with four passes for 169 yards, three intercep- tions and three touchdowns. Also scoring was Ban- field with two touchdowns, Walker with one, and Humble kicking for six extra points, making the score photo by Bryce Harper CE L'0N 42-13, giving Clark a 10-2 record. ln the regional contest against Austin Reagan, the team played without a leading offensive player. Down 21-O in the third quarter, they recovered to ig- nite the team. Then the Cougars drove the ball downfield for a touchdown by Jeff Robbins and a PAT by Humble. With 2:02 left in the game, they drove the ball to the three yard line before a Raider interception in the end zone, lt was a tough loss for the Cougars, but the records said enough. Without the Lord and excellent coaches, we couIdn't have done it, said Pepe Garcia, summarizing the season. Dodie Draker Clarks fabulous front five awaits Tafts next moves. Recipients of first team all-district were Chris Riajas, Eric Riester, Tyler Mucho, and Orlando DeHoyos ofthe front line.
