GRANBURY — Crappie and sandies are being taken on
minnows, along with some black bass. Channel cat have been
taking minnows and shrimp. A few black bass have been

ernate quarterback, has
been doind an excellent job
as punter, averaging over 30
yards per punt and hanging
the ball high enough to allow
great coverage on the return.
Three players were moved
up from the Junior Varsity
for last Friday’s contest and
Galbreath said one of them,
Eugene Byrd, would remain
on the varsity squad as an
offensive back and defensive
tackle.

TOLEDO BEND — Paul Benson and Gerald Greenwood
of Memphis fished with guide Robert Hale to land 41 blacks
. Saturday averaging over two pounds. Most of the guides are
taking limit strings these days, and there is an abundance of
school fish weighing about one pound. Better fish are coming
on grape and blue worms in about 12 feet of water. Crappie
fishing has been good, and this fishing, along with the bass
angling is expected to get better. The lake is three feet below
normal, stable and clear. (Huxley Bay Marina)

Super Friend
The eight-man flag foot-
ball team from Boulevard
Baptist Church in Burleson
played their first game Mon-
day afternoon, defeating
Rendon Christian Academy
34-8.
That game was played on
one of the four flag football
fields at the South Campus
of Tarrant County Junior
College.
Most of the game’s scoring
was accounted for by the
Huckaby boys, Andy and
Wayne. Andy was the games
leading scorer with 18 points
on three touchdowns. His
brother Wayne scored 14
points on two touchdowns
and a two point conversion
and Terry Cox accounted for
the other points by scoring a
two point conversion after a
touchdown.
Next Monday, Boulevard
Baptist will play in Burleson
as they have a 1 p.m. game
with Duncanville Christian
Academy.
Coach of the Burleson team
is Alvin Black, who is also
principal at Boulevard Bap-
tist School.
In fact, today’s Long Distance
rates are cheaper than years ago.
A whole lot cheaper.
For example, 84C* today will
buy you a 3-mmute call clear across
the country, when you dial One-Plus
from 5 p.m to 11 p.m Sunday through
Friday.

Fishermen over most of the state continue to
enjoy fair to good success. Water temperatures
are dropping slightly with our cooler nights and
for those areas where the fishing hasn’t im-
porved, there is hope for better things ahead.
Sand bass catches are slowing, as is typical
for fall, and the crappie fishermen are enjoying
improved catches arid this is also typical.
Black bass catches are better on certain
lakes, and in others the fishing is off. There
doesn’t seem to be any obvious reason why a few
lakes are having poor fishing, and they can only
wait it out until things improve.
Stripers continue to capture the attention of
fishermen visiting Lake Whitney, and this is one
of the lakes where black bass fishing has been
off.
Fall always brings some of the best fishing of
the year, and the outlook is for some great days
ahead.

Owls Have Open Date,
BENBROOK — Small black bass have been plentiful here
recently with most of these fish coming on topwaters and
black spinner baits. J. Bates and Charles Neel took their
limits of bass for five straight days using those lures Robbie
McLendon landed about 20 sandies on Shysters. Ronnie Day
caught several channel cat on shrimp and Ralph Baisden took
seven blacks on a spinner bait. (Benbrook Marina)

CEDAR CREEK — Smaller bass, fish weighing up to two
pounds are still common over most of the lake around the
moss beds. These are still going for buzz baits and worms
along with a few topwaters. Sam Holley, who lives at the
lake, landed a 4.11 near the dock at Don’s Port over the
weekend. Sandies and crappie have been absent. (Don’s Port

85 LB. PANTHER’S
The Panthers played the
G.D. Eagles in Fort Worth at
■ 8 p.m. Saturday. The Eagles
won the game 40-6. Yet, we
are still busting our buttons!
| The Panther’s fans were on
their feet the fourth quarter
and most of the third.
Kai Parkinson, the Panth-
er quarterback, received
G.D.’s kick on the 28 and ran
it in for the Panther’s score
early in the third quarter.
The defense followed his
lead with terrific playing.
We must mention several
of this defensive group who
played with all their heart.
Leading in tackles were Don-
nie Smith, Curtis Evans, and
Kenny Phillips. Close behind
were: Steve Wagner, Todd
White, Dennis Hill, Buck
Gremel, Ricky Perez, Robbie
Aldrich, Mike Hernandez,
Eric Glosup, David Melton,
and Raymond Rodriguez,
and William Wallace. They
held G.D. to no gain on two
series; and to only a two
yard gain once.
Time ran out for the
Panthers as Kai Parkinson
was moving his team down
field with passes to Ricky
Perez and William Wallace.
The entire team was still up
and trying. One almost felt
that if there were just one
more quarter, the Panthers
would have pulled this one
out.
Did we say we were proud
of you last week, Panthers?
Well, this week “proud" is
not enough of a word! We
meet Everman in Everman
next Saturday at 8 p.m. GO
GET THEM!
75 LBS. PANTHERS
The Burleson Panthers
traveled to Azle Saturday to
collect their first win, 14-0.
Both teams played a good
game but the Panthers prov-
ed to be the better team
Saturday.
It was easy to see the
Panthers offense was much
improved over their first
game, a 0-0 tie. The offensive
line with hard hitting was
moving the defense back.
The Panther backs exhibit-
ed smart running, following
their blockers but also show-
ed the ability to run over
players when necessary.
The entire offense deserv-
BRIDGEPORT — Bass fishing has shown some improve-
ments in the past week, and the crappie here continue to
produce some nice catches. A.G. Templeton, Springtown
landed 20 sandies. Bob Rider, Frank Kirk, Guy Fertetta all of
• Euless, had 23 black bass to 3 pounds. Ernest Ray, Jeffery
Ray, Fort Worth, took 36 crappie. Jack Taliaferro. Hurst,
| picked up 24 crappie. Tony Mathison, James Mathison and
W.A. Nipper, Weatherford, landed 35 crappie. River Oaks
Bass Club members held a tournament in which Bobby Ivy
was the top man with 14 pounds topped by a 6.1 pounder.
Richard Page had a 6.13, Brad Beard took a 5.8, Jerry Vaught
r* landed a 5.6, J.C. Hall had a 4.15 and Louis Snyder caught a
I 4.8. Most of the bass were taken on Lunker Lures and crank
I baits. Crappie have been hitting best in 6 to 8 feet of water
around the brush. (El Chico Lodge)

a factor in the Whitney

were going good for us.” But
he doesn’t expect that en-

JOSHUA-“They were
just tired of getting whipped
and decided to do something
about it,” Joshua Owl Coach
Ronnie Galbreath said of his
team’s 13-13 tie with the
Whitney Wildcats last Fri-
day night.
For the first time this
season the Owls managed to
generate a substantial offen-
sive game - and they did it in
style as running back Roy
Wood gained 111 yards on a
4-yard-per-carry evening for
Joshua’s homecoming.
“We weren’t even plann-
ing on him (Wood) being a
WHITNEY — Black bass fishing here is still off. The
water does not have the sour odor of previous days since the
big rise, but the fish just aren’t hitting. Crappie are doing
pretty well, however, and the stripers continue to provide the
bulk of the action. Larea Walker, Hurst, landed 23 crappie on
minnows in Mesquite creek. Among the striper catches
reported were: W.C. Freeman, Mesquite, two stripers
weighing 11.10 and 10.9 on green and white jigs near Towash
Creek; Hersel Gardon, Bedford, and J.D. Bland, Fort Worth,
two stripers weighing 4V2 and 5 along with two black bass

TAWAKONI — Bass fishing has been from good to great I ‘
here since the cool weather began. The fish are holding
around the moss and taking four inch worms and lizards Don
Newton, Coffman and Mark Travis, Ballinger, fished with
guide Bob Uhler to land 18 bass Saturday with the top six fish >1“^
weighing from 4*/4 to 5*/4. They used Ring Lizards and Ring
Worms. (Bob Uhler)
4th down punt the punter
was tackled and Burleson
got the ball. The offense
moved the ball down to the
11 yd line. On a hand off from
Austin, Eddie DeLeon strug-
gled his way through a pack
of white jerseys and scored a
TD. He also carried around
the end for the extra 2
points. Crowley again made
little yardage and when the
Braves took possession,
Steven Smith carried for
long yardage down to the 15.
After penalties on both
sides, DeLeon ran the ball
over for another Braves TD.
When Crowley gained pos-
session again the Braves
defense kept them from
making a first down.
Burleson moved the ball on
several plays and threatened
to score again from the 10
yard line when time ended.
Final score Braves 28
Crowley 12.
There were many out-
standing players on offense
and defense. DeLeon is a
rookie who showed great
mobility and toughness. Paul
Jones was in the thick of
most key tackles, Casey
Southall caught a beautiful
pass, Donnie Baxter another
rookie showed much promise
in the defense. Cricket Me-
theny is another rookie who
looks tough and fast. Roper
and Austin the old veterans
of the Braves appear to be
getting in motion for the
season. I must not leave out
Scott Guinty who even
though has a knee injury
played a whopping good
game. Keith Barfield is an-
other veteran whose potent-
ial looks great for the season.
The coaches pick for out-
es recognition, but special
mention must to to Tommy
Guthrie and Randy Henson,
each scoring a touchdown.
The defense also played a
good game, never giving
Azle a long gain. Azle never
could get their offense going,
when the Panthers hard
tackling wasn’t causing fum-
bles, they were stopping the
Azle Stingers on 4th down
plays.
The Panthers defense
with players like Charles
Moline, Martin Kinkade and
Alexander Southern have
not given up a touchdown
this season.
BRAVES
The football season open-
ed for the Braves with a
non-conference game against
Joshua Saturday Sept. 16. It
was a defensive game for
both teams but the Braves
offense couldn’t get it toge-
ther. Joshua scored two
touchdowns both on break-
away long runs which result-
ed in a 12-0 loss for the
Braves.
However, this past Satur-
day in Crowley, the Braves
showed much improvement.
The first quarter was a
defensive battle but in the
beginning of the second
quarter a long pass was
intercepted by the Braves’
Keith Barfield. On third
down Jeff Roper carried
around end to score the
Braves first T.D. Roger Aus-
tin carried the ball over for
an extra 2 points.
Crowley received the kick-
off on their own 40 yard line.
On 3rd down a Crowley
player broke loose for a 60
yard T.D. The point after
attempt was stopped by the
Braves tough defense.
Again on a 3rd down situat-
ion Crowley broke loose and
scored another TD, but
again failed in the 2 pt.
conversion. With the score
12-8 and little time , remain-
ing in the half, Roper threw
a pass to Austin who danced
across the goal line for a
go-ahead TD.
At the opening of the third
quarter Crowley kicked off
and the Braves fumbled.
Crowley gained control of
the ball but the. Braves’
super tough defense would-
n’t give them an inch. On the

district game against Cedar
