many new routines and
learned to twirl with a fire
baton, a hoop baton and a
pom pom baton. The feature
twirler from UTA perform
ed for all the girls at camp.
This was one of the
highlights for Jackie. Julie
Haisler is Jackie's older
sister, a senior, and the new
Drum Majorette for the
1979 80 Sanger High School
Marching Band. Jackie and
Julie will be working closely
with each other. I asked
Jackie how it felt to work
side by side with her sister;
yet, for some odd reason
Jackie couldn’t think of
anything to say. Good Luck
to both Jackie and Julie.

The diabeties Bike AThon
is a very well known event
around the country. Mark
Ijinier had the opportunity
to participate, for his time
this summer. Mark is a
sophomore. He exerted
much of his muscle power as
he rode the distance of 44
miles. Mark raised approxi
mately $50 for the diabetes
foundation. For Mark's
outstanding achievement he
was awarded a free
hamburger from McDonald’s
each week for one year.
When asked how well he
liked the Bike A Thon. Mark
replied, “It was fun; I’m
going to ride in it again next
year.”
The Sanger Indians went
0 1 in the won lose column
Friday night against a
strong Southlake Carroll
team but went 1 0 in the
morale department.
The youthful Indians, with
new faces at new positions
plus an almost entirely new
coaching staff, made a very
impressive debut against a
team that could well win its
own district.
The Indians fell behind in
the first quarter and
remained that way most of
the night Carroll’s speedy
Brent Pennington went over
from 3 yards out to give
Carroll its first score. The
extra point failed.
The Indians were not to
Im- denied though, their
speedy new quarterback
Benny Chambers made an
unbelievable last second
pitchback to a trailing Willie
Henderson the result was a
68 yard scoring bomb for
Sanger.
Chambers was almost
down, he had Carrolls
defenders reading him his
last will and testament but
somehow did manage to
pitch back. Henderson got
the glory but Chambers
certainly contributed his
part. Sanger’s extra point
failed and the garni* was
deadlocked 6 6.

could end, Carroll’s speedy

meet a strong Farmersville
team that waxed them good
last year. Farmersville lost
to Whitewright Friday night
by 15 6. Farmersville has a
strong senior club with 9 on
offense and 7 on defense.
Names to watch are fullback
Paul Kelly, tailback Kurt
Walker, quarterback Steve
Schkade. Farmersville runs
the Houston veer and
dropback pass. They run a
pro4 3 defense. Farmersville
according to Coach Bigger
staff is "basically a small
team with g<w>d speed they
like to throw 10 15 times a
game."
farmersville went 9-1 last
year they were picked to
finish behind Carroll in
district 15 A.
Coach biggerstaff in
summing up the progress of
the Indians noted that "we
must improve defensively if
we are to win, our offense
must gain our composure
and control the line of
scrimmage. The kickin game
wa fair except for the
blocked punt that set up
Carroll’s third touchdown "
Game time is 8:00 in
Farmersville go watch the
Indians pull and upset.
Southlake Carroll
looking like a runaway
comet, caught an 8 yard pass
from freshman quarterback
Vonner. The extra point
failed after a blocked punt
In the second quarter.
Carroll marched once again
as Brent Pennington went
over from the 6 yard line.
Carroll, which had little luck
kicking extra points, tried
for a two pointer and found
they couldn't do that either,
as Sanger put the stops on
em.
At halftime it was 18 6.
Sanger was for all intent
ional purposes out of it.
But not so, the second
half, Sanger came out
madder than if they had
been told they would have to
go to summer school and
marched for a touchdown to
make it 18 12. Kevin
Hodges, who improves
every practice at halfback,
set up the action with a long
run and then hit paydirt as
he scampered in from 3
yards out.
The final quarter was all
defense Sanger played
excellent game of contain
ment, but their offense
couldn't do it. Benny
Chambers couldn't get the
time needed to set up to pass
so the game ended 18 12.
Spradley of Carroll had
117 yards on 24 carries and
Pennington had 84 yards on
24 carries for the opposition.
Sanger was led by I lender

son gaining 72 yards on 3
carries and Hodges with 85
yards on 13 carries.
Carroll made an amazing
15 funbles, which must be
some sort of record They
lost 6 of them. Sanger had
four fumbles and lost the
pigskin 4 times.
Passing was not to be this
night Carroll's youthful
quarterback Vonner, who
may start shaving next year,
hit on only 1 of 13 passes
with one interception
Benny Chambers of Sanger
who usually passed with
Carroll defenders whisper
ing to him, failed to hit on 10
t ries.
Coach Jack Biggerstaff,
though unhappy with the
loss, was happy with the
play. "We could not stop
Spradley and Pennington in
the first half. Their ball
control hurt us, they had 71
plays to our 41. Our offense
just had no consistency or
continuity."
Coach Biggerstaf did
praise the defense though,
"Our defense really played
well the second half, Willie
Henderson and Rodney
Patterson lead a good
defensive charge with 10
tackles each. A real bright
spot was t he play of Eugene
Cole at defensive tackle.
Cole caused 3 fumbles for
the night."

at success this week as they

Debi Godi, who would
have been a 1979 graduate
from Sanger High School is
now working at the Kiddie
Korral located on 2nd St. in
sanger. Debi was tired of the
drugery of homework and
the routine of attending
school five days a week, so
she decided to take her
G.E.D. exam. The G.E.D. is
not a diploma; however, for
those who want to skip their
last year of school, yet have
recognition for their eleven
years spent in school, than a
G.E.D. exam is their best
bet. Debi received a passing
grade and is very happy now
helping and teaching kids at
the Kiddie Korral.
