Senior players got a taste of mur-
derous defeat in the bi-district
game with Three Rivers. Howard
Hicks, Royce Sprott, J. M. Clem-
ents and Mike Fitzpatrick have
passed their determination to
avenge that 50-22 loss to the rest
of the football team. They know
what they are up against and are
fully prepared to show Three
Rivers what the Bandera Bulldogs
can do by team work and deter-
mination.
This is the second time out of
four years of coaching at BUS
that Mr. Studebaker has brought
our Bulldogs to bi-district play.
This is a fine record and he and
the boys have worked together all
season to go all the way for the
State Championship.
The game will take place at
