Lions Win, 35-24
To Play at Paris
By DALE HALEY
The H. L. Turner Lions showed
the Grand Prairie Gophers how to
play football last Friday night in
Lion Stadium and defeated the visi-
tors to the tune of 35-24. It must
have been that 13-13 tie with Hill-
crest the week before that opened
the Lions’ eyes.
John Jackson was one of the big
stars of the game. He led in rushing
with 136 yards gained on 22 carries.
In the first quarter, it was the
Gophers who got on the scoreboard
first when QB Dennis Brumley went
over for the score. But the Gophers
missed four extra point tries for the
night and this one went off to the
right.
Early in the second quarter the
Lions came rolling down the field
knocking off 51 yards in their drive
for the goal line. Jackson plunged
in from the one-yard stripe to tie
the score at 6-6. Butch Warden broke
the tie by booting a perfect extra
point.
The next time Turner got their
hands on the ball, they went on a
56-yard touchdown jaunt ending up
with Mike Blalack passing to end
Bill Hodge for 33 yards and another
TD. Warden again kicked the point.
After the half-time activities,
Grand Prairie came back to score
when Robert Mitchell went over on
a one-yard plunge. The kick failed,
and the Lions were still on top by
a 14-12 score.
Then the Lions came back with
52-yard drive ended by Doug Rood
with a two-yard run for six points.
Warden kicked the extra point to
make the score 21-12.
Mitchell’s 12-yard run marked up
another 6 points for GP, but the
Lions then came back on a 66-yard
march in which Jackson picked up
42 of the yards. Blalack dashed for
six and the score. He then threw to
Clay Jarman for the two points.
The score at this point was 29-18 in
the Lions’ favor.
But the locals were still not
through for there was 6:42 remain-
ing in the game. On their last drive,
the Lions went 56 yards for another
six pointer. Jarman jumped for joy
after catching a Blalack 7-yard pass
in the end zone. This time the extra
point run failed.
The Gophers still had time to
score and they did it when Brumley
tossed a 25-yard pass to Billy Kidd.
And again the Lion defense kept GP
from getting the extra two points.
This ended the scoring for the night,
with the Turner Lions on top of a
35-24 score.
Key defensive plays were pass
interceptions by sophomore Ronnie
Joyce, Jackson and Blalack.

KENNY DAFFT
JC Bombers Beat
Longhorns, 13-0
The Mesquite Longhorns played
a very tough defense Saturday night
at Don Showman Park to hold the
high scoring Bombers lo a 13-0 win.
The Longhorn defense and a muddy
field held the Bombers scoreless in
the first half.
Quarterback Robert McCord got
the Bombers on the scoreboard in
the third quarter after fullback Gary
Banner had moved the ball to the 4-
yard line of the Longhorns. On a
busted play McCord outran the de-
fense to the flag and 6 points. The
conversion failed.
Bomber blockers, Bill Thomas,
Ken Dcnby, David Fowler, Jimmy
McCormack, Kenny Dafft, Brad Me-
Intire and Max Nelson opened the
game and allowed Banner and Lav-
ender to run against the tough
Longhorns.
In the fourth quarter, McCord hit
Charles Shipman 20 yards down-
field to scare the Longhorns. The
Bombers fumbled and had to wait
for their turn after stopping the
Longhorn passing attack. McCord
used good blocking and swift backs
effectively to move the bail 70 yards
downfield. Lavender found paydirt
from the 3-yard line and Banner
converted to make the final score
13-0.
The Bomber squad intercepted
five Longhorn passes ,and stopped
the running game for very few
yards.
Buddy Nelson picked off two
passes in the secondary. David Fow-
ler, Floyd Davila and Gary ftumer
picked off one each in eon’jUly
shutting out the Longhorns.
The offensive Bomber of the week
is Kenny Dafft for his outstanding
blocking at right guard. Kenny also
played defensive nose guard and
teamed with linebacker Floyd Da-
vila in stopping the Longhorns,
Floyd was chosen as defensive
Bomber of the week for a 108 per
cent effort on defense, stealing one
pass, and making numerous tackles.
Next Saturday night the Bombers
venture to Hillcrest Park where they
battle tile Tigers at 7:30 p.m.
