rights and the game was
tied 7-all.
Bonham set up a wall
on the Cougars kickoff
and due entirely to the
speed and finesse of Bobby
Curry, saved the runback
from going all the way.
Bonham started from their
own 47-yard line. A costly
defensive pass interfer-
ence was called on the
Cougs giving the Warriors
great field position inside
the 24 yard line.
On third and second
from the 16, runningback
Joey Bragg broke loose
into the endzone but a
clipping penalty on Bon-
ham nullified the run and
the ball was brought back
to the 26. On fourth
and long, Wiggins pass
was broken up by James
Pittman and the Cougs
took over on the 29 yard
line with 9:02 left in
the half. There was no
lightning on the offense
this time as Elvington and
company were held to nine
yards and forced to punt.
A good kick by Con-
nor, unintentionally hit
a Bonham player and an
alert Scott Childs fell
on the ball giving the
Cougs the ball and a first
and 10 on the Bonham
32. Deron Gillum got the
call on third down and
burst through the mid-
dle for another Cougar
first down inside the 20.
The Cougars gambled on
fourth and three from the
13 but fullback Mark
Powell was stopped at the
line and Bonham took
over with 3:27 remain-
ing in the half. Bonham
picked up two consecu-
tive first downs to the
44-yard line and running
back Joey Bragg picked
up another first down as
Bonham elected to go for
it on fourth and two.
QB Rob Wiggins quickly
kit his receiver Kevin
Trompler for an 18-yard
gain, stopping the clock
with only 32 seconds left
in the half. Wiggins fol-
lowed with another bullet
to Pete Mitchell good to
the 19-yard line with 12
seconds remaining. Wig-
gins threw deep into the
endzone with 7 seconds re-
maining but the pass was
incomplete and Bethels'
came on to attempt the
field goal with only one
second left in the half.
The kick was good ending
the half, 10-7.
The Cougars, plagued
with penalties the past two
games, were called again
for a delay of game early
in their initial second half
possession.
Elvington, who started
playing up to his abil-
ity for the first time
this season, let one get
away and his pass was
picked off by Pat Johns.
Big Arnold McDonald,
quickly made up for the
interception, recovering a
Bonham fumble on the
Warriors second down play.
The Cougs offense was
held for nine yards and
on fourth and one, pun ted.
Connor's 52-yard kick was
taken by Bonham at the
28 and like last week,
Deron Gillum was down

number three Sept. 17,

Stadium against Bonham.
Runningbacks Clarence

continued to churn out
the yardage in the ground
game while QB Steven
Stefaniak threw strikes.
Highlights included Gary’s
80-yard touchdown run on
a punt return in the first
quarter, Stefaniaks. five
yard TD on a QB keeper
and big John Bumgartners
TDf run to make the score
28-6.

injury, fumbled the ball
and Bonham recovered at
thier own 46. Bragg then
broke loose on a 13-yard
dash to the Cougar 41-
yard line for a first down.
On the next play QB Rob
Wiggins bobbled the ball
but fell on it for a two-
yard loss. Once again,
Pittman defended well on
a Wiggins pass, knocking
the ball away from the in-
tended Warrior receiver.
On fourth and nine
from the f41, Bonham
punted and the Cougs took
over at the Colony 17-yard
line. The Cougars punted
when they were unable to
pick up 10 yards as the
third quarter ended.
Another good kick by
Connor was left to settle
on the Bonham 38 to open
the final quarter. The
Cougars held, but another
costly penalty gave Bon-
ham a first down at fthe
Warriors 46. Linebacker
Thomas Marlar made two
punishing stops before Flow-
ers and McDonald ganged
up to stop a pitchout to
Bragg on third and 10.
Bonham’s punt was
downed by Kevin Traylor at
the Cougar 9 where Elving-
ton and Company took the
field.

and darted his way to a
first down at the Cougar
28 as rain began to fall.
Elvington shined again on
a keeper carrying to the 42
for another Colony first
down.
On third and 11, Elv-
ington threw a bullet
which hit tight end An-
thony Montgomery in the
numbers but he could not
hold onto the wet ball and
the Cougs punted. The
kick took a Cougar roll
and was downed at the
sixth-yard line.
Jason Noland, Bobby
Curry, Brett Brewer, Ar-
nold McDonald and James
Ptttman all contributed to
stopping the Warriors and
forcing the punt giving the
Cougars one more chance
at a victory. Bonham’s
punt was short and out of
bounds at the Bonham 42.
On second and five,
Mark Powell broke loose
in the rain and went all
the way to the Bonham 15-
yard line giving the Cougs
a scoring opportunity with
just over a minute to
play. A facemask penalty
on Bonham set the ball
half the distance to the
goal giving the Colony a
second and goal from the
seven with 42 seconds lef t.
Elvington picked up the
first down on a QB keeper
but the Cougars using
their last timeout just ran
out of gas, coughing up the
ball as time expired.
Coach Briggs and his
team had little to say
about the game. “What
are the odds of a team
playing a 10-game sched-
ule and having two touch-
downs made on them on
fumbles in the endzone.
We're in the game, but
we’re just not beating
them. Bruce (Elvington)
played well, he played real
well.”
