INDIANS PLEASE HOME-
COMING CROWD, WIN 27-12
The Nocona Indians warmed
the hearts of an overflow home-
coming crowd here last Friday
night by winning the district
game easily over Northwest
High School of Justin. The final
score was 27 to 12 In favor
of the Indians but the game
was never close.
The Indians had one 33-yard
touchdown run by David Stil-
well nullified by a penalty and
could have easily won by a lar-
ger margin. Statistics were
heavily in the Indians favor.
The first Indian touchdown
came In the first quarter when
Quarterback Roy C. Fitts float-
ed a beautiful pass into the arms
of End Ricky Yeargin, who was
a step ahead of the defender
on the 10 yard line. The play
covered 27 yards. Fitts kicked
the point to give the Indians
a 7-0 lead.
The Northwest Texans took
the kick off back to their own
34 but on third down, David
Stilwell, the Indians “monster
man” broke through to drop
the ball carrier for a three
yard loss and the Texans had
to kick. Randy Duckworth took
the kick on his own 35 and re-
turned to the Northwest 49,
which was the beginning of an-
other touchdown drive for the
Indians. Making successive
first downs on the NW 25, 14
and 2 yard line, Fitts scored
from the one on a keeper. He
also kicked the point, giving
the Indians a 14-0 lead.
Early in the second quarter
the Indians cranked up another
scoring drive, this six point-
er coming on a pass from Fitts
to Randy Duckworth. The play
covered three yards. Fitts also
kicked this point to make the
score 21-0.
The Texans decided to light
up their half of the scoreboard
at this point and they brought
the kick-off back to their own
32. Three plays made a first
down on the 42 and from this
point Quarterback Roger
Thompson lofted a pass to Tony
Stewart who had worked his way
behind the Indian secondary and
was all alone. The play cover-
ed 58 yards. Try for point
failed and the score remained
21-6.
The Indians had one more try
at the score board the first
half. Duckworth again brought
the kick-off back to the 50
yard line. A pass to Yeargin
made a first on the NW 37
and another to Jimmy Walker
made a first down on the 24.
A field goal try from the point
was wide and that was all the
first half scoring.
The Texans began gambling
in the third quarter and tried
for a first down in a fourth
down and three situation but
the Indians held and took over
on NW 43 yard line. However
a fumble by an Indian back
gave the ball right back to
Northwest. Neither team moun-
ted much of a threat the remain-
der of the third quarter but the
Indians again hit pay dirt early
in the fourth quarter. Ronnie
Hill carried to the Northwest
3 yard line and Fitts made
the score on a keeper through
the middle. His kick was not
good and the score remained
27-6.
But the Texans weren’t
through. They returned the
kick-off to their own 47, where
a clipping penalty against the
Indians moved the ball to the
Nocona 38 yard line. From here
Steve Hudnall, hit the left side
of his own line, broke a couple
of tackles and took off for pay
dirt, with no one to stop him.
Try for point failed again and
the score remained 27-12.
Randy Duckworth and O. M.
M o 1 s b e e both intercepted
Northwest passes to disrupt
the Texans drives and Richard
Young picked off one of Fitts’
passes in return. Fitts ran 26
yards on a keeper play in the
final minutes of the game and
a personal foul against the Tex-
ans moved the ball to the North-
west 15 yard line but time ran
out before the Indians could
score again.
David Stilwell was the chief
ground gainer for the Indians,
probably digging out more than
half of the 265 yards the In-
dians gained on the ground.
He also played a whale of a de-
fensive game as did John .Agee,
artd the remainder of the In-
dian line.
It was the second district
win of the season for the In-
dians against three defeats.
