The Archer City Wildcats
gave #6 ranked Boyd a run
for their money last Friday
night, but the Yellowjackets
prevailed to take a 21-13 win.
Boyd’s potent ground attack
proved to be the difference
as the Jackets maintained
possession of the ball for
17:31 in the final half of play.
Archer City chose the wind
to open the game, and
Robert Stallcup's deep kick-
off was well covered with
Junior Malone, Roger Beall,
and Brad Pippin applying the
tackle at the lb yard line. The
hustling Cats led by Stallcup,
Kevin McCown, Mike Mc-
Bride and Joe Hoff pushed
the Jackets back to their 6
vard line and forced a punt
which only carried to the
Boyd 40
Pippin and Co. w ent to work
immediately. Mitch McLe-
more slanted over right
guard for 9, and McBride
followed suit with 3. On 2nd
and 10, Boyd jumped into
an 8-man line defensively.
Pippin audibled a quick
slant-in pass to Stallcup that
carried to the 15 yard line.
An offsides moved AC back
to the 20. Boyd again jumped
into their gap-8 defense, and
Pippin stepped back and
checked off again. The call
went to Jeff Hoegger on a
quick slant pass to the right
side, and Jeff broke a tackle
to go all the way for the
touchdown. Stallcup's kick
was wide, but the Wildcats
were on the scoreboard 6-0
with 7:39 left in the initial
quarter.
Stallcup's ensueing kick-off
was returned to the 14. Boyd
moved to their own 42 in 4
plays, but Terry Johnson
gobbled up an errant Billy
Tolliver pitch out to give AC
control once more. AC's
offense stalled, and McBride
punted 34 yards. Stallcup put
a crunching, well-timed
tackle on the Boyd receiver at
the 6 yard line.
The Jackets then marched

94 yards in 12 plays to go on
top after Tolliver's PAT kick.
The big play was a 28 yard
Tolliver to Randy Scroggins
pass that carried to the Cats
36 yard line.
After the kickoff, McBride
broke up the middle for 12
yards to end the 1st quarter.
McLemore followed with
runs of 9 and 6 before an
offsides penalty slowed the
progress. A missed handoff
at midfield set the Jackets up
with 9:46 left in the half.
Four plays later, Boyd got
another first down at the
Cats 15 yard line. Aided by
an offsides penalty, Boyd
faced 2nd and 2 at the 7.
McCown jumped on a Boyd
fumble to half the scoring bid
with 7:03 in the half.
Unable to move the ball,
McBride punted again. Joe
Hoff joined Stallcup, and
Malone in good coverage at
the Cats 36 yard line.
Tolliver kept for 2 yards with
Steve Wright applying the
stopper. On 2nd and 8,
Tolliver dropped back to
pass. McCown blew in from
his left defensive end spot
and exploded into Tolliver
just as he released the ball.
Joe Hoff alertly grabbed the
fluttering pigskin and dashed
65 yards into the end zone.
Stallcup's kick rang true to
put AC up by 13-7 at the 5:33
mark.
Brad Reis an Ben U
provided the downfield
coverage on the kickoff, and
McLemore, Brunn, Pippin,
and McCown turned defend-
ers to force another punt.
Tolliver boomed a 49 varder,
but Pippin found a lane down
the sideline for a 30 yard
return to the 48. After a
9-yard sack, McLemore
regained 8 yards on the
draw . Wright followed with a
diving catch of a Pippin pass.
On 4th and 1, McBride
pulled off tackle for 7 to the
36. McLemore got 7 more on
the pitch from Pippin, but

head scored the only
touchdown for AC on a 10
yard ran as Boyd won the
contest 18*6. In their initial
only 22 seconds remained in
the half. McLemore took
another pitch from Pippin
and threw the halfback pass
to Stallcup in the end zone.
But a Boyd defender
intercepted to put a lid on the
threat and the first half.
The Wildcat Band and Flag
Corps maintained the 13-7
halftime lead by turning in a
great performance. The
precussion section and Flag
Corps were featured in a
production of “Looney
Tunes", and twirler Christie
Abshier was spotlighted in
the band’s renditon of “The
Horse.”
Boyd received the 2nd half
kickoff and maintained
control for 6:49. Rushes by
Rodney Scroggins and Eu-
gene Andress moved the
Jackets from their own 25 to
the AC 35. Facing 3rd and 5
from that point, Tolliver fired
a pass to McCune at the
two---but a holding infaction
backed Boyd up to the 45.
Tolliver repeated the effort,
and McCune made a twisting
circhs catch at the one just
inside the field of play.
Andress went in for the
score, and Tolliver got the
kick to put the Jackets up by
14-13 at 5:21 of the 3rd
period.
McBride and McLemore
picked up a first down after
the kickoff, and Stallcup
suit w ith a 15-yard
reception of a Pippin aerial.
The effort stalled, and
McBride's punt plus a
clipping penalty set Boyd up
at their own 25. The teams
exchanged punts to move
into the final period.
At the 7:56 mark, Boyd
mounted a 14 play march
that covered 66 yards. The
Jackets stayed on the ground
every play with all four backs
contributing to the cause.
Tolliver got the 1 yard score
and the extra point at the
2:22 mark.
Stallcup took the kickoff
right up the middle foir 30
yards to the Cats 35. The
Cats kept fighting, as Pippin
hit Wright with a 39-yard
pass, but a holding call
erased the play and put AC
back to their own 9 yard line
with 30 seconds left in the
game. Pippin's last ditch
aerial was intercepted to
bring down the curtain on a
hard-fought, well-played
football game.
McCown and Hoff were
joined in a good defensive
effort by the entire Wildcat
team with McBride and
Hoegger leading the way
with 12 and 11 tackles
respectively.
Archer City, now 1-1 in
District 11 -AA competition,
returns home Friday night
for an 8 p.m. encounter with
Henrietta. The Bearcats are
now 1-2 in 11-AA play after a

Short Takes
A wild rabbit's first line of
defense against a predator is
to lie flat on the ground and
remain absolutely still, says
International Wildlife maga-
zine. If that doesn’t work, a
wild rabbit can jump a
distanct of at least eight feet,
clear obstacles five feet high,
and reach speeds of more
than 40 miles an hour.
Saturday evening, the 29th
of October the gobblins will
reign supreme in Archer
City’s First United Methodist
Church Fellowship Hall.
The event is being
sponsored by the Church but
is intended for the enjoyment
of the entire community.
There will be minimal
charges at some of the game
booths where prizes will be
given away. Any proceeds
will be contributed to the
UNICEF fund.
