Ranked third in the state, Spring Branch's Golden Bears hit Victoria and left with a squeaking 2-point victory. The STINGARFES, after winning its last three games by a total of only eight points, got a dose of its own medicine in losing 14-12. Spring Branch struck first on a 27 yard scamper by the Bears' Chris Gil- bert with 4:-41 left in the first half. After a punt exchange, Victoria recovered a Bruin fumble on the Sting 48. Wfith only two seconds left in the half, Cubby Hudler faded back to pass, couldnt find a receiver and shot over the goal for the tally, Hyman's conversion was blocked and Victoria trailed 7-6 at halftime. Coming back after the half, Spring Branch scored first again. After kicking the extra, the Bears led 14-6. Shortly after that the Stings began to move, With a third down situation coming up on the Spring Branch 30, Gary Teague plunged through the line and dashed all the way for the touchdown. I-Iudleris pass for the extra fell short and score stood 14-12. With only a little more than three minutes left, Victoria had the ball, first and goal on the Bear 7 yard line. Three plays netted five yards. On fourth down on the 1V2 yard line, Hudler fell inches short of a Sting victory. Spring Branch then ran out the clock. I GOT IT! I GOT IT! yells halfback Paul Kornfuehrer, No. 30, as he reels in a long pass to take the Stings deep into Bear territory.
