Teague’s Lions tore huge holes
in the Madisonville Mustang
iine last Friday night to run
up a score of 20 to 0. In a series
of first downs after, kickoff the
Lions marched steadily, without
once faltering for a touchdown.
Madisonville threatened one
time in the game in the first
quarter, when a Mustang back
skirted right end for a 20-yard
gain. The Mustangs were on the
10-yard line at the hall but
were being held with 4 down
coming up.
Teague Line
Linemen for the Lions have
made a “rock wall” out of. a
weakness they have had in the
past and held the Mustangs to
very few gains.
Several lirjemen showed very
good prospects and plenty of
competent backs carried the ball
for gains on most every play.
Tommy Massey, Troy Cochrum
and Charles Kilgore did well on
the line. James Weils was in
qn many tackles that throwed
the Mustangs for a loss. /
No Game Friday
The Lions have an open date
Friday giving Teague fans a
chance to see opposition play
that Teague will meet later.
Next game will be with Fair-
field at Fairfield on September
24th.
