Ricebird lines rarely controlled their counterparts as
they did in the season’s first three games.
“I won't take anything away from West Columbia,"
Kieth said. "I knew going over there, they had some
good kids. Some people look only at the record. I have
to look at the films.”
West Columbia seemed to have El Campo guessing
which one of several potent and diverse offensive
weapons would come at them next. The variety of
fakes and motions that is employed in a wing-T was
very difficult to handle as was the backfield of
William Bryant, Randy Mack and Larry Pinkney
"They have so many offensive threats," Kieth said.
"They have that 215-pounder (Pinkney), the 195
pounder (Mack) and a sprinter (Bryant)."
Each Roughneck threat did his job as Pinkney
banged and Bryant sped to big yardage. Pinkney led
all rushers in the game with 81 yards on 15 carries
Bryant ran the ball 12 times for 65 yards while Mack
picked up 25 yards on eight carries.
Brvant showed his great quickness (4.5 in the
40-yard dash) in the first quarter when hew flew 43
yards down the sideline for the game’s first score.
The point-after-touchdown failed but West Columbia
would add to their lead only 2:08 later.
After regaining possesion of the ball when a punt-
formation snap from center sailed over Parma’s
head, the ’Necks needed only three plays to get a
one-yard touchdown from Andre Roberson and a 12-0
lead.
The teams traded turnovers (Darrin Faas
recovered a fumble and Parma had an interecption)
before the Ricebirds mounted their only drive of the
half. Clyde Gary carried the ball twice for 20 yards on
that drive while Parma picked up 18 yards on the
ground. Greg Swoboda also got his arm in gear with a
six-yard completion to Gary and an eight-yard toss to
Mel Rasmussen. The drive ended when, with no time
left in the half, Gary was sacked looking for an open
receiver.
West Columbia upped their lead to 20-0 with just
1:11 left in the third quarter when Mack cashed in
Donald Law's second interception with a five-yard
touchdown run. Mack started the seven-play, 50-yard
drive with a 28-yard gallop. Pinkney ran the next four
plays for )7 yards before catching Mike Browns’ only
completion of the game, an eight yard gain. Bryant
scored the two-point conversion.
After Booker Runnels recovered a Roughneck fum-
ble, the Ricebirds did mount another drive. Like the
first El Campo march, the Ricebirds had nothing to
show for their offensive effort when they fumbled at
the eight-yard line. Parma caught two Swoboda
passes for 24 yards and ran twice for 25 yards.
Davis recovered the fumble and after West Colum-
bia ate up much of the time left in the game with a
drive deep inside Ricebird territory, he scored on the
final play.

homecoming a week
later.
Bloomington has lost
their last 20 games, a fact
that concerns Johnson as
he prepares his troops for
Friday’s game
"I'm afraid the kids
might take them lightly,"
Johnson said. "Our
scouts said they
(Bloomington) never quit
hitting East Bernard. I
have a feeling that if any
team quit hitting it would
be against East Ber-
nard."
Bloomington lost 47-0 to
East Bernard but
Johnson warns that they
may be ready to change
their losing ways just as
the Hornets have done so
far this season.
“I hope they end it < (he
20-game losing streak)
after the 21st (loss),"
Johnson said, "and win
the rest of their games. ”
Hornet’s Nest: Louise
escaped Friday’s game
with no further injuries to
report although Daniel
Hrncir’s foot injury
against St. Joseph may
be more serious that
originally expected.
Hrncir could miss as
much as three more
weeks of action although
Johnson said he plans to
take "one week at a
time.”
Johnson cited the work
of his assistant coaches,
Tom Love joy and Virgil
Quintero, who "have
done a sensational job. ”
The El Campo Rifle
and Pistol Club held a
club shoot, raffle and
range and safety course
