2nd Quarter Rally
Is Too Much For Bucks
The Bucks played fine defense
last Friday night until 3:30
* left in the first half. At that
point the dam broke loose and
the Stratford Elks added three
quick touchdowns to one they
had scored earlier and lead
at half time 28-0. The Bucks
yielded three more TDs in the
second half, and a game that
started out close turned into a
runaway. Coach Mike Purcell
stated" We made too many
mistakes to win. We didn't
play well at all the second
r half."
Jessie Asencio, Tim Teague,
Tim Simpson and Monty Car-
roll played well defensively
but did not receive enough
help to keep the game close.
The final score wound up being
47-0 in favor of the Elks.
Charles Milton accumulated
25 of the 72 WhiteDeer yards
on two passes from Shane
Grange.
Adding to the White Deer
woes were four lost fumbles
and an average..of only 28
•►yards on 11 punts which gave
the Elks good field position
throughout the contest.
White Deer is now 0-6 on the
i year and 0-2 in the league
play. The Bucks travel to
Gruver for district 1-A battle
