I didn’t witness the Sterling whiz kids' performance over in
Pasadena Friday with their last-second win over Pasadena
Rayburn. y? , - -t m ryni ■■
But I know that was a fantastic comeback for any football
team, and I know Big A1 Dennis feels a lot bigger after his foot-
ball team bounced back in storybook fashion and claimed a vie

\I did see Robert E. Lee beat Port Arthur, though, and the
margin of victory, even though slim, was a big one for the

In the past, the North Shore
Mustangs put more footballs in
the air than TWA put jets in
the sky. But things are a little
more balanced than they used
to be for the Ponies and
Robert E. Lee will test the
new attack this Friday at 7:30
p.m. in Stallworth Stadium.
Both teams are striding into
their first District 21-AAAA
^ contests with 2-0 records, so
more than just the first loop
game will be decided.
Mustang mentor Harlan
Baldridge admits that he
wouldn’t mind throwing the
football around 25 times a
game, but he added that the
chances of winning that game
would diminish somewhat.
