■ At the Eagle football game
Friday night, things were so ex-
citing time Just flew! We start-
ed the second half just fine.
Looked up at the clock and it
read eleven-plus minutes to go
In the third period. Looked up
In a few seconds and it read
seven-plus minutes to go.
After about three "double-
takes” I heard Coach Johnson
holler up at the press box. say-
ing that there was something
wrong with the dock. I couldn’t
hear what the Cross Plains
coach was saying. Since he was
behind at the time. I don't Ima-
gine he wanted It repeated any-
how.
Getting back to the story, the
clock did skip a few minutes
and the officials on the field
kept the official time from that
time forward. I wonder if the
Cross Plains coaching staff had
anything to do with It.
Allen Moreland said he thinks
he got the problem taken care
of.
