Herd reaps win over Harvesters
By SAM W. WALLER
Sports Editor
The Hereford Whitefaces got back
into the thick of the District 1 -4 A title
chase Friday night, posting a 29-19
win over Pampa al Harvester Field to
put a damper on the hosts’ homecom-
ing festivities.
"This was a big win for us," Coach
Don Cumpton said. "We had been
going down, and played well enough
against Estacado to win and didn’t do
it. This was a critical win for us in the
district and for our program."
The win evened the Herd’s season
record at 2-2 and its district mark at
1-1 while the Harvesters fell to 2-3
overall and 1-2 in district.
Hereford started fast for the second
straight game, taking the opening
kickoff and marching 69 yards to set
up a 28-yard field goal by Eddie
Cantu, his first of the year.
The Herd’s new backfield combo
of Jason Walterscheid at quarterback
and Matt Bromlow at tailback, both in
their second starts, keyed the drive.
Bromlow ran eight times for 55 yards
while Walterscheid hooked up with
Russell Backus for 17 yards on third
and 11 to sustain the drive.
The Herd defense made its presence
felt on Pampa’s first turn with the ball
as the Harvesters could manage only
four yards on three plays.
"1 thought the defense played
good," Cumpton said of the unit.
"They tackled well and played position
football well.
"They controlled (Pampa quarter-
back James) Bybee," he added, "didn’t
let him get outside on us where he
could really hurt us. I thought we
controlled him very well."
The Herd look the ball at its own
27-yard line following a 52-yard punt
by Tim Davis and proceeded down the
field on Bromlow’s running (34 yards
in five tries) and the Waltcrscheid-to-
Backus tandem (three completions for
39 yards). Backus scored the first of
three touchdowns on a 19-yard
reception and Cantu gave Hereford a
10-0 lead on the conversion.
Pampa mounted a 13-play drive to
the Herd 17 as the second quarter
opened, only to watch Shannon Cook’s
34-yard field goal attempt sail wide to converge
