The Sharks went looking for
their first district win last Friday
night against the weak Stafford
Spartans but once again proved
unable to break into the win
column as they were edged by
Stafford 9-0. Palacios finishes
their season at home next week
against the Leopards of Van
Vleck.
The Sharks’ record dropped to
1-8 overall and 0-4 in district play
as they lost a sloppy, low-yard-
age, poorly officiated game.
Palacios gained only 148 total
offensive yards, 91 of which were
provided by versatile Robert
Slaughter who performed as both
as running back and a receiver as
veil as making if good defensive
contribution. The gridders from
Stafford did little better as they
were able to pick up 163 yards in
that matchup.
The Leopards will come to
town next week sporting a 5-4
record, being 2-2 in district
competition.
Tidehaven Tigers explode
for 49-6 victory over Cougars
Stafford was able to capitalize
on their third possession of the
night to bring about the ony
touchdown of the game. The tally
was set up by a controversial
pass interference call against the
Sharks at their own 10. With 7:56
left in the second, fullback Ivory
Hudson capped off a sl.««t
43-yard drive with a six-yard
sprint into the endzone to put the
Spartans up 6-0. The kick after
was good, making the score 7-0.
The only other score in the
game occurred as Lejon Giles
was tackled in the Palacios
endzone late in the fourth
quarter for a safety, making the
score 9-0 where it stood for the
remainder of the game.

BOU.r,
The Grice duo of Chris and Carl combined for
five touchdowns as the steamrolling Tidehaven
Tigers blasted the bungling Brazos Cougars^
49-6 in District 28-A A action Friday.
The victory lifted coach Mike Tobola’s Tigers
to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in league action as they
prepare to closeout the season by hosting
Ganado this week.
Brazos fell to 2-7 on the year and 1-3 in
district play.
Tidehaven exploded for 35 of its points in the
opening quarter by promptly capitalizing on a
series of Cougar miscues. The Grice Brothers,
who chalked up over 120 yards rushing each,
accounted for four of the first period tallies.
Following the first of two busted punt plays,
the Tigers got on the board with a four-play,
12-yard drive capped with Carl Grice scoring
from the one.
The Cougars self-inflicted another wound to
their cause a bit later by fumbling at their 47.
This time Carl Grice hit paydirt with a 14-yard
run to make it 14-0.
The kicking game agaln haunted Brazos after
a 10-yard effort gave the Tigers possesion at
the brazos 20. Shayne Hamer went to the air
and fired an 11-yard strike to Mike Magee for
another six points.
Leading 21-0, the Tigers continued to build
on their lead. This time they turned a Cougar
fumble into a 32-yard scoring drive finished
with Chris Grice plunging in. Chris came back
to wrap up the first period with a two-yard score
to make it 35-0. Mark Lister tacked on the
point-after kick following each of the touch-
downs.
Tidehaven added its sixth TD in the second
with Joe Rocha scoring from the five. In the
third Carl Grice returned to ice the victory with
an 11-yard score.
The Cougars lone tally came in the third
when Ricky Matacha went in from 12-yards out.

Kunefke top gridiron picker
In one of the better showings of the football
season, Brent Kunefke captured $15 and first
place in the weekly Beacon Football Contest by
correctly picking the winners in 18 of 20 games.
While Kunefke was all alone with two-wrong,
Felicia Ripke edged out Mike Gonzales in the
tie-breaker for second place after both finished
with three wrong. Ripke wins the $10 second place
money while Gonzales picks up $7 for third.
Kunefke’s misses came as Sweeny upset
Hitchcock and San Diego surprised Cleveland.
Af ter having both missed on three outcomes,
Ripke and Gonzales advanced to the tie-breaker.
Although both incorrectly predicted an Ohio State
win over Michigan State, Ripke came the closest
to the total game points. She had the total at 27
while Gonzales marked it 45. The actual total was
20 with Michigan St. on top 13-7.
There were a lot of near misses last week.
Finishing with four wrong were Sherry Hunt,
Albert Garcia, Latanza Davis, Ramon Guer-
rero Jr., Mark Remlinger and Albert Gonzales.
Missing five were Robert Christianson, Pat
Christianson, Bruce Hart, Clarence Ripke, Walt
Hamlin, Carol Ann Burnett, Bonnie Graff, Gabriel
Solis, Billy Hamlin, Steve Smith, Albert Garcia
Jr. and Gil Vasquez.
