second district game this Friday night at Crandall
KERENS BOBCATS AND FORNEY JACKRABBITS: ZIP-ZIP!
.by the coaches
After a hard-fought
four quarters of
football action the
Bobcats and Jackrab-
bits settled for a
0-0 tie in the hard-
hitting defensive
slugfest this past
Friday. It was the
district opener for
both teams.
The Forney Jackrab-
bits came to Kerens
with only a 1-2 re-
cord. The record
was deceiving as
they had played
three tough class
3AAA teams.
Despite a defensi-
ve show by both te-
ams there were spots
of offensive brilli-
ance. The Jackrab-
bits almost scored
on a Russell Ander-
son pass when Rich-
ard Runnels interc-
epted the pass and
raced 40 yards to
the end zone. A cl-
ipping penalty sa-
ved the 'Cats. The
Jackrabbits also
almost scored in
the fourth quarter
after driving from
their 26 yard line tc
to the Kerens 40 ya-
rd line where they
tried a 50 yard
field goal.
The Bobcats had
several chances to
score, In the first
quarter they drove
to the Forney 15
yard line where a
penalty and an erra-
nt fourth down pass
stopped the drive.
They also tried a 36
yard field goal in
the second quarter
but the 'Cats lost
the handle on the
snap and the ball
never was kicked.
Their last try at
scoring took place
in the last minute
of the game as the
'Cats drove to the
38 yard line of the
Jackrabbits. Ander-
son passed to Ricky
Layfield but the
ball was just inch-
es short.
The local team was
. ■
mtm
held to a season
low of 174 yards to-
tal offense while•
they held Forney to
only 148 yards. Le-
ading rushes for
the 'Cats were Lest-
er Smith with 15
carries for 26 ya-
rds and Scotty Bry-
ant with 15 carries
for 26 yards. Ander-
son completed 60 of
14 passes with Smith
having two catches
for .25 yards,
Layfield one for 24'
yards and Anthony
Haynes three for
19 yards.
The aggressive de- ■
fensive play was led
by Layfield, Danny
Kilcrease and Larry
Bell, who all inter-
cepted a pass. Front
line hitters were
O'Neal Burrell, Hay-
nes, Brad Tarkington,
Kenneth Bryant, St-
anley Williams and
Chad Marion.
The Bobcats now st-
and 3-0-1 for the
season and 0-0-1 in
district.
