BucsO Bulldogs 29 Plagued by injuries and needing a rest, the Bucs traveled to Lutcher to face the No. 2 ranked triple A power. Quicksilver and Scarlet Fever just couldn ' t get it together. The Bulldogs just out- manned the Scarlet and Silver squad and strip- ped them of their No. 1 ranking. Joe Morton takes an interception. Bucs 20 Roneagles 13 After two hard weeks on the road, the Bucs are glad to be home again. The Roneagles were not ready for what the Bucs had in store for them. A 50 yard drive was capped off by Dexter Hender- son going over from the one. A Scarlet fever blocked punt on the 20 yard line set up the next Buc TD, this one by Superman Aaron Kent. The final WJ tally capped a 60-yard drive. It came when Dexter Henderson scooted around end for 50-yds. This win gave the Bucs extra confidence for the opening district game next week. Mike Grant stops a Hahnville runner. Edwin Brazil breaking through the line. Daryll Triplett on the loose. 107

Bucs 7 Eagles Remember the playoffs! could have been the battle cry of the Bucs on this muddy evening, but the history of the playoffs did not repeat itself. The lone WJ touchdown came on a 47 yd run by Darryl Triplett with only 2:37 left in the game. Myron Walker kicking one of many PATs. Bucs 20 Tigers 14 One of the worst officiating jobs ever , commented coach Crosby. Although the Bucs played the officials as well as the Thibodeaux football team, Quicksilver and Scarlet Fever came through as usual. After the Tigers scored early in the first half, the Bucs came roaring back with a two yard run by Edwin Brazil at the end of the half. In the third quarter the Bucs became airborne. The first TD pass came on a 45-yd pass from Henderson to Triplett; the next, a 1 0-yd pass from Hen- derson to Robinson. This win made the long ride home a bit more enjoyable. Let go of my leg. 106

Bucs22Bruins7 Friday the 13th proved to be an unlucky day as it was believed to be, in ways for both the Bucs and the Bruins. For the Bucs were almost late to the game by being held up, 1) by a burning car, and 2) by a wreck on the bridge. But the Bucs didn ' t mind the extra rest that the unluckiness of the day brought. The day also brought some luck to, Amando Castillo on a 45 yd TD pass; to Daryll Triplett on another scoring pass play; to Dexter Henderson on a 25 yd scoring run, and extra luck to Channing Bennett who replaced Steve Marchese early in the game. Bucs 27 Wildcats 20 The pattern for the outcome of this game was set early in the game by Mr. Outside , Daryll Tri- plett, Quicksilver ' s pride and joy. He ran the opening kickoff back 96 yds for the first Bucca- neer TD. The second scoring drive was capped off by a 12 yd run by Dexter Henderson. The third Buccaneer TD was by West Jefferson ' s Mr. Inside , Aaron Kent, who bulldozed his way to the Bucs ' 3 yd line; two plays later he scored from the 1. Midway in the fourth quarter, the Bucs scored still another TD, this one, a 14 yd pass from Dex- ter Henderson to TE Cordell Robinson. The Scar- let Fever Defense played an excellent game, with- out two of the original starters, but Sophomore and Junior DBs Juan Common and Channing Bennett held up their own with the more experi- enced competition. Come on Aaron, get me out of this. Joe Morton tackling a Patriot. All RBs found out that Scarlet Fever was a raging epidemic. 108
