Team 13-6
Coach Bruce Wilson’s B squad
opened the season Thursday night
with Breckenridge B team, losing
13-6 in a game which saw all of
the scoring during the first two
periods of play.
Breckenridge scored on a pass
and missed the point on the first
touchdown. The Bucks kicked off
to the Graham B squad who re-
turned the kick to the 36 yeard
line. On the first play from scrim-
mage, Ronnie Blackstock, on a left
end sweep, ran 64 yards for the
Graham team for a touchdown. He
received excellent blocking enabl-
ing him to reach paydirt. This
tied the score 6-6 in the first
stanza.
Breckenridge scored again in
the second period. Coach Bruce
Wilson reported this was the first
game of the season and many play-
ers were inexperienced, and many
mistakes are being corrected this
week. He reported Nbme good de-
fensive work by Ronnie Rice, Bud-
dy Snow, Jimmy Watson, and
others.
Starting Graham lineup for the
game with Breckenridge game
included Bobby Rowe, LE! Jimmy

Sport fans will see a lot of im-
provement this week with the re-
turn match with Breckenridge.

Steers Prepare For
Clash With Olney
By Jay Hathcock
Playing straight man for the
State’s higher ranking football
teams is not the best way to at-

tain a good reidfO, But llie
perience gained is valuable. Thus,
the Graham Steers were given 1
their second lesson Friday night
as highly regarded Paschal Pan-
thers of Ft. Worth clawed their
way to a 31-7 victory in a non-dis-
trict clash played at Steer Stadi-
um.
The Steers came near up-setting
the dope bucket by not complying
with their assigned role. Graham
h«M the team rated
eight tn the state 4-A —
check until disaster struck in the
fading momenta of the game.
Trailing by only five points and
with the out-come of the game
very much in doubt Graham made
a serious mistake. An attempted

resistance to the resurgent Pan-

With the exception of those fi-
nal six minutes, the game was a
spine-tingling affair which saw the
Steers actually run more plays than
Paschal. Graham ran 53 plays
from scrimmage to the Panther
48. However the fact that the yisi-
tors made more of their opportun-
ities is indicated In the statistics
which show the Panthers more
than doubling the yardage made
by the Steers. Graham’s 178 yards
gained rushing was counter-
punched by 53 yards lost rushing.
Paschal had possession of the
ball only two times in the initial
period. Both times they scored

portunity by returning a Graham
kick 33 yards to the Steer 12- B.
Payne went for two, then Spradley
passed to end Jerry Watson for
the counter. Attempt to convert

Just to show it wss no fluke,
the Panthers struck again •ft«r
forcing Graham to kick. This time
they traveled 60 yards in eight
plays with Spradley bouncing over
from the three.
Graham scored in the second
period after throwing up« brick

scoring threat which ended on the
Graham two. On the first play Jim

82 yards to the Panther 18. Bob
