Frank Anderson then jogged 38 yards to the Tiger 17. Jeff Haas completed the drive four plays later on a quarterback keep- er from two yards out. Steve Barton booted the lone PAT. Coach Charles Dexter cited Joe Swinbank as the defensive star and Jim Frasure for offensive recognition.

But Westchester was able to sport 14 first downs to Conroe’s 14 and 210 rushing yards to their 170. Despite the fierceness of clawing, the game was off to a slow start with a scoreless first quarter. While the Tigers managed a lead in the sec- ond quarter, the Cats revenged in the third when quarterback Jeff Haas completed a scoring attempt on a keeper from the one.
