To say that the Goldthwaite
Eagles are on a roll is certainly an
understatement, as the state-
ranked team blasted Lometa 25-0
last Friday.
The Eagles fifth straight shut-out
makes the score Goldthwaite 202,
opponents 6 thus far in the 1985
season. Gorman and Goldthwaite
are currently tied for the lead in
District 8-A East, with 3-0 marks.
Scoring for the Eagles opened
with 1:12 remaining in the first
period when Junior halfback Scotty
Miller sliced over from one yard
out. Early in the second frame,
sophomore runner Douglas Holtz-
claw slipped through the grasp of
several Lometa defenders en route
to a 76 yard scamper. Tim Sims
kicked his only extra point of the
evening after Holtzclaw’s TD,
giving the Eagles a 13-0 edge at
intermission.
