Elks off to shaky start
By GLENN COCHRAN
The Burleson Elks Varsity Foot-
ball Team got of to a shaky start
Friday night after traveling to Lan-
caster to take on the Tigers. Burleson
lost the season opener to the Tigers
14-7.
Three interceptions and a
bobbled fake punt proved to be too
much for the Elks to overcome. Not
that there is ever a good time to throw
an interception, but for the Elks, each
one seemed to be at the most inoppor-
tune time.
The first of the three came late in
the second quarter. Burleson's de-
fense had just held Lancaster to three
downs for minus six yards and forced
a punt The Elks took over at the
Lancaster 33 yard line and on first
down, senior starting quarterback
Shane King completed a 10-yard toss
to wide receiver Rodney Downey.
This set up a first and 10 at the Lan-
caster 23, but that is as far as the drive
would go. On the very next play, the
drive stalled as Lancaster linebacker
Raydell Jackson pulled in an inter-
ception and set the Tigers up at their
own 17, after penalty yardage was
marked off for a Tiger illegal block.
The interception cost the Elks a pos-
sible touchdown, but thanks to the
Burleson defense, the Tigers were
unable to convert on the opportunity
as well. Burleson held the Tigers to a
fourth and one at the Lancaster 26
yard line and then the Tigers were
charged 10 yards for a holding call.
This set up a Lancaster punt.
The second interception con-
cluded a nine play, 54 yard drive. The
series began with a five yard loss on
a draw play, which dropped the line
qf scrimmage back to the Elk 21 yard
line. Senior tailback Brian Corbin
regained the loss plus two yards on
the following play when he hauled in
a seven-yard King pass. This made it
third down and eight yards to go, but
Corbin gave the drive a second wind
as he caught a 27 yard pass on the
following snap. With a first and 10 at
the Lancaster 45 yard line, King
called his own number in the huddle
and ran a keeper play which was
good for 11 yards and another Elk
first down. On the next play, King
handed the ball to junior fullback
Ricky Fleming and the Tigers
stopped him after a seven-yard gain.
