Junior High Kittens Play Crowell For Title
The Archer City Junior High
Kittens, coached by Mike Wood,
will travel to Munday tonignt
(Thursday) to battle the Crow-
ell Kittens for the District 11-A
junior high championship. Kick-
off set for 7 p.m.
Crowell will represent the
western half of the district
where they went undefeated,
winning over Munday, Knox
City, Chillicothe and Paducah.
The Archer City Juniors were
given very little hope in hav-
ing a winning season before
the new year got underway.
In the beginning, only five boys
that reported had played the
previous year as seventh
graders. Another five eighth
graders decided to play and
the remainder of the eighth
grade team had to be moved
up from the seventh grade.
There are six seventh graders
that are regulars, either on
defense or offense, for the East
Zone representatives.
The Kittens completed the
East Zone conference in
a three-way tie with Holliday
and Nocona. Coach Wood’s
charges dropped the first two
district games to Nocona and
Holliday but then rebounded to
take two straight over the same
teams. Holliday started the sea-
son strong with a veteran team
and had managed shut-outs over
every team until three games
back when they met Archer
City for the first time. They
won the first match 16-6 and
allowed the first points of the
season. Then Nocona knocked
Holliday from the unbeaten
ranks and Archer City eased
past them last week 16-14 and
a share of the east zone crown.
Following the win last Thurs-
day night representatives of
the three schools met in Wich-
ita Falls Friday and a draw-
ing held to determine the rep-
resentative of the East Zone.
The names of the three schools
were placed in a hat and Arch-
er City was the one drawn
to represent the Eastern half
of the district.
The eighth grade juniors
opened the season with a 2-0
loss to 2- A Henrietta and then
they took a lop-sided victory
over Electra. Other wins came
over Bowie and Seymour byde-
cesive margins. Their overall
season record was five wins
and three losses.
Last Thursday night it was
a battle all the way for the
little warriors as Holliday put
on the pressure with big run-
ning backs Stan Mason and
Donal Ross. Both scored but
were unsucessful on the two
point conversions for the game.
Fullback Ward Campbell
scored a six-pointer on a 50-
yard trap play in the first
half and then went around left
end for the two-point conver-
sion for a 8-0 lead. However,
the Eagles came roaring back
as Ross took a short pass and
ran it back deep into Kitten
territory to set up their first
td. Extra paint try was short
and the Kittens held a slight
lead at halftime.
Holliday went ahead in the
third period when Stan Mason
went over and try for extra
points was short for a 12-8
lead. The Kittens then put to-
gether a time-consuming march
with Weyman Oliver going the
