QFFENSIVE BURST DOW STROIA S Anticipation of a needed win travelled with the Trojans to Wichita Falls to play the Coyotes, but all efforts to attain that win went by the boards as Wichita Falls High won the contest 21 -7. Actually, the game was closer than the score would indicate, for two of the Coyote touchdowns came on sudden offensive bursts. Trinity's defenses looked sharp as they contained the Coyote offensive attack most of the night. The Coyotes' first score came on the second play from scrimmage as Dan Ingram raced 74 yards to score and put the Coyotes in front 7-0. Trinity came right back during the second period of play moving 80 yards in six plays to score. Kyle Bookout was the work horse of this drive which culminated with Anthony Wynn popping for 13 yards into the Coyote end zone. But the Coyotes were able to put two more touchdowns on the board in the second period with aid from Zac Ellis. At the half the score was 21-7 - a score that was to stand as the final one, due to the defensive battle of both teams in the last half. ' F p 4-44.30 1-40 150 f Football .

I ... -we - RIDER IS DQMI EERI G The domineering Rider Raiders of Wichita Falls had about all they could handle of the blossoming Trojan defense before squeaking out a 14-0 win over Trinity in Wichita Falls. The Trojan defense stopped all sustained drive attempts by the Raiders, and Rider only scored on big plays. The opening kick-off, nullified by penalty, could have been six points for the Raiders. An Interference call aided the Raider cause, with the penalty taking the ball to the Trojan 25 yard line. Rider's Delano Thomas sent the Raiders ahead with a six yard run to the Trojan end zone. What was to be the Raiders' only other score came still later in the first quarter when Thomas Penn hit Paul jones with a 32 yard scoring aerial. The Trojan offensive bid was hurt by key injuries to Gary Hammond, Chris Coffey, Marty Stover, Anthony Wynn and Trojan cheerleader, Coleen Houston. X l
