DUBLIN — The Dublin Lions
pulled off foeir masks Friday and
showed everyone their true iden-
tity ...they me a football team.
After absorbing two lop-sided
defeats in their first two outings,
the Lionsd turned the tables and
dealt the Cross Plains Buffaloes a
drubbing they may not have
deserved, winning 40-0.
‘It was a good game, the kids
needed it, we have a tough game
against class 3A Glen Rose next..
We needed to lift our spirits before
that game,” said Lion coach
Tommy Dittmar.
The Lions’ offense might have
been have been nicknamed the
“Karl Easterling Express” Friday
night as he rumbled for 156 yards
in only 16 carries. But he didn’t
cany foe load alone. Jerry Sorrells
also had an outstanding night run-
ning foe football gaining 113
yards on nine only carries.
Tommy Moore threw for only
12 yards, but one of his com-
pletkions was good for a
touchdown.
The Lions defense held highly
touted Buffalo fullback Jody
Brown in check all night and the
visitors hoi to resort to a passing
game to try to get some points on
the board.
The Buffi had obviously
scorned the Lions well tried to ex-
ploit their past weakness in pass
defense. It didn’t work. The Buf-
falos had little success through the
airways.
“We stressed all week to play as
a team and the boys did just that,
we didn’t change much , we just
started to work together,” Dittmar

Sorrells started the
with a 27 yard run in foe first
minute of foe game to put foe
Lima on lop 7-0.
On foe earning Buffalo drive,
Lace Jones recovered a fumble
fom set up another Sorrells
tonchdown nm font left the Cross
down 14-0 with only
> and 28 seconds hav-
The defense, led hy Charlie El-
lis, completely font down foe Buf-
tackling. Ellis, coming ott an in-
jury, was listed as doubtful at the
start of the day,
Only minutes into the second
quarter the Lions scored again as
Sorrells completed a pass to
Quincy Hancock for 12 Yards.
The score at this point was 21-0.
With minutes to go in the first
half the Lions found a play the
Buffaloes seemed to have no
answer for. The Lions ran a mis-
direction trap first with Sorrells
gaining 25 yards, then Then
Easterling 19. This set up a scor-
ing sweep by Tommy Moore that
jacked the lead to 28-0
After a great halftime show that
included a stunning flaming baton
show by the Dublin twirler, the
Easterling Express continued to
rumble with gains of 8,15, andl5
yards that set up another sewing
run by Sorrells. This one covered
17 yards and upped the Lions’ ad-
vantage to 34-0.
The teams exchanged punts
twice before Charles Ellis, who
only started on defense, took over
at fullback and continued the as-
sault. Ellis had gains oflO and 15
yards before he crashed in for the
Lions’ final touchdown. After
being hit at the 5 yard line, Ellis
carried three defenders into the
end zone. The clock still showed
24 seconds left, but time had run
out on a tired Buffalo team.
The Lions will try to make it
two in a row next week when they
travel to Glen Rose for an 8 p.m.
bout with the Tigers.
