MATHIS PIRATES STILL
IN THE RACE
Pirates fans packed the grand-
stands last Thursday night, dis-
pite the rainy weather, to see Ma-
this and Banquete tangle.
The Pirates came out winners
with a score of 48-7.
All of the Mathis fans went to
Orange Grove Friday night to
root for Bishop. The reason, of
course, was the fact that if Bish-
op won, it would put Mathis at
the top in district.
The score was a 0-0 tie, how-
ever Bishop, was declared win-
ner by penetrations.. As the dis-
trict score now stands, Mathis
has 12 points and Orange 7.
