Bears hot; scorch Lampasas 26-10
Stall Photo bv Jim Tisdale
AAA opener dazzles fans
A sizzling second quarter
performance —making Bas-
trop look like a genie lat
popped out of a bottl 'e
the Bears a 26 to 10 '• y
over Lampasas Friday night
and a win in the school's first
ever District AAA game.
The Bears blasted down
the field for three touch-
downs in the last five
minutes of the first half to
electrify a packed home
stand and Lampasas was
never able to catch up. The
crowd got a look at the
offensive power the Bears
had kept in check during the
school's two earlier games
this fall. In the second
half -quiet by comparison—
the Bears defense held off
the Badgers.
In the first play of the
game, Split End James
Warren ran 95 yards to
return a Lampasas kickoff
and put the Bears ahead 6-0.
Lampasas briefly took a
10-6 lead, before the Bears
runners got hot, when
Freddie Parrilla edged ac-
ross the goal line for four
scoring yards and Stanley
Kirkpatrick kicked a 27-yard
field goal.
But from then on it was
largely a case of Bastrop's
runners and the Bears
defense dominating the
game.
James McFarlin ignited
for 38 yards and a swift TD
that broke open the game.
Thomas Jefferson got across
the goal line with a 10-yard
scamper and Jesse Taylor
moved fast for a five-yard
TD.
Steve Bird scored later by
picking off a Badger pass and
going 45 yards for the final
Bear touchdown.
Next Friday night at
Georgetown, the Bears take
on the undefeated George-
town Eagles, with the new
knowledge they have an
offense that can strike fast
and a mix of plays, that when
well exceuted, can move the
ball.
BEARS OF THE WEEK
By Kellye Green
After the first district
contests, Bear coaches pick-
ed players of the week on
each team.
Coach Gorka chose Tho-
mas (Bubba) Jefferson as
varsity offensive player of
the week. Jefferson carried
the football 10 times for 90
yards and "did an outstand-
ing job with his fakes and
blocks when he wasn't
carrying the ball," stated
Gorka.
Wilbert White was named
defensive player of the
game. Gorka said " Wilbert
was consistent all night. He
had few errors and used his
techniques well."
Others named include
Junior Varsity Quarterback
Bruce Kana, JV defensive
player Eddie Simpson,
defensive freshmen players
Kirk Haywood and Travis
Whited and frosh offensive
player Anthony Brown.

Kenneth Galloway has
been sentenced to a nine
year state prison term
following his conviction by a
Bastrop County jury of
possession of 38 pounds of
marijuana.
Galloway was also fined
$5,000.
The sentence came follow
ing a one day trial in the
court of District Judge John
I'lacke.
Galloway was arrested
almost a year ago Oct. 30,
1977 after a raid on his
Salamander road residence.
Officers said they found
marijuana in bags in various
locations inside Galloway's
house and outside.
During the trial. Galloway
admitted a small amount --
90 ounces found inside the
house belonged to him. He
said a large amount of the
weed found inside a parked
car belonged to a friend.
District Attorney Neal
Pfeiffer, who prosecuted the
case, said after the jury's
decision. "This was a
meaningful verdict. It says
something about the people
of Bastrop County wanting
to enforce the marijuana
laws.
"It's important for young
people to realize that
possession of marijuana is
considered a serious offense
in the opinion of juries in the
county. They need to
carefully consider this fact
and the consequences that
could come to them," the
district attorney said.
Galloway is now free on
$25,000 bail. An appeal of the
verdict to a higher court is
under consideration by his
lawyers.

Just fourteen days after
thieves last broke into Brian
Sanders' Hills Prairie Gro-
cery on State Highway 304,
the rural business establish-
ment was struck again
Thursday night.
This time, however, the
thieves would not settle for a
few cases of beer and
assorted meats. According
to the officers report filed
early Friday, more than 27
cases of beer were stolen.
Also reported stolen were
one case of Folgers coffee,
one case of Campbell's soup,
four cases of sardines and a
case of Folgers instant
coffee; well over $200 in
valuable goods.
A Bastrop Sheriffs De-
partment spokesman told
the Advertiser the thieves
used a bolt cutter and a crow
bar to gain entry into the
storeroom. Apparently at-
tempts to enter the shopping
section failed, and the
thieves carelessly left behind
a trail of evidence the
Sheriffs department says
may help bring the culprits
to justice. Tire tracks and
footprints were obvious.
