Bucks Remain Undefeated,
Sneak By Rattlers 26 - 25
White Deer's strong de-
fense stopped a two-point
conversion attempt in the
fourth quarter to give the
Bucks a 26-25 District 1-AA
opening victory over Stinn-
ett last Friday night and re-
main unbeaten in six out-
ings.
The Rattlers scored first
on a 60-yard running play
only to fumble the snap
from center on the conver-
sion attempt.
The Bucks came marching
back with a 6-pointer of

erty sped 64 yards for the

touchdown. The PAT at-
tempt, on a fake kick, was
no good, leaving the score
knotted at 6-6.
On Stinnett's next posses-
sion, Chad Grange foiled
their game plans by inter-
cepting a Rattler pass. The
Bucks moved the ball down-
field, only to have the gain
nullified with back-to-back
penalties.
Stinnett picked off a Benn-
ett pass, intended for Laff-
erty, to gain possession
again. After an exchange
of fumbles, the Rattlers
scored again. The extra
point attempt was no good.
Half time score: White
Deer 6; Stinnett 12.
On the Bucks first posses-
sion of the second half and
a sustained drive, Bennett
scampered 7 yards for the
tieing score. The point
after kick was good, giving
the Bucks a 13-12 edge.
The White Deer defense
stiffened holding the Ratt-
lers on downs and forcing
them to punt the ball away.
A Bennett to Franks pass
fell incomplete, however,
Bennett carried for 23 yards
and set up a Bennett to
Ruthardt pass good for an-
other TD. The extra point
was again no good.
The Bucks final score
came on a 3-yard run by
Steve May after a big gain
from Bennett to Martin.
Stinnett added two more
touchdowns late in the four-
th quarter. They opted to
go for a 2-point conversion
and the win following the
last TD only to have John
Ingle, Kent Howell, and
Todd Freeman stop the play
leaving them 1-point shy.
The Bucks host the S an-
ford-Fritch Eagles Friday
night at Buck Stadium.
