It’s That Time!
It has come down to that one
all-decisive game .. the district
16-A championship. The Cooper
Bulldogs will meet Whitewright
in Tiger Stadium Friday night to
see which team is the best. The
squads are considered almost
equal. Whitewright defeated
Honey Grove a couple of weeks
ago 28-0 and the Bulldogs
downed the Warriers 28-6 here
last week.
After an ineffective first
quarter against Honey Grove,
the Bulldogs began to put
together a scoring drive in the
opening minutes of the second
period as Paul Morris returned a
Warrior punt to the Honey
Grove 46. Cooper ran only four
plays beginning with a ten yard
gainer by Morris, plus a fifteen
yard penalty against the
Warriors for a first down at the
21. Morris picked up four and
Denny Hagan seven to the
ten. Hagan plowed through for
the touchdown with 10:38
remaining the the half. Donal
Fuller made it 7-0 for Cooper.
Midway of the second period.
Milars Mays recovered a
Warrior fumble at the Honey
Grove 46 to set up Cooper's
second TD. On first down quar-
terback Randy Reynolds passed

Delta County Banks Report Condition
eposits in the three banks of
Ita County remained steady
|ng the third quarter of the
rat around the $16.6 million
hk. Deposits were up only
1,000 from the second quarter
hres and $300,0(X) from one
ago.
Third quarter deposits have in
prior years, set record highs
usually attributed to the har-
vesting of crops, however, farm
production this season is
lagging, especially cotton which
is expected to again be low.
Assets of the three banks in
the county were also up slightly
to $18,263,000, as compared to
$18,257,000 on June 30 of this
year. The combined assets are
down from the 1975 third
quarter figure of $18,281,983.
Loans were down about
$57,000 from the second quarter
total of $7,980,000. The current
combined total of $7,923,000

ago.

District Championship On The Line
to end Neil Henson good for 20
yards to the 26. On second down
Paul Morris broke away for
twenty more to the five. Hagan
made it to the one foot line,
Reynolds going over on the next
play to make the score 13-0.
Honey Grove managed a
sustained drive last in the half,
moving from their own 29 to the
Cooper 19 on the running of
Teddy Ellis and the passing of
Brad Lane to Charles Phifer.
The drive was stopped with a
pass interception by defensive
end Kevin Walker at the Cooper
eleven.
Following the interception,
the Bulldogs almost made it
again with a fifty-plus run by
Paul Morris to the Honey Grove
ten, but time ran out before the
Dogs could get another play.
Honey Grove narrowed the
score early in the second period,
going 27 yards in eight plays
after recovering a Bulldog
fumble. Ellis on three carries
had the ball down to the Cooper
15. On the next play, Dale
Hinsley dropped Ellis for a three
yard loss; George Bacy sacked
Lane for another five yard loss.
A completed pass good for a
minus-four yards, put the
Warriors back at the 30, but a
ruffing the passer penalty got it
all back on fourth down. Lane
then hit Stanley Finney with 12
yard pass for the TD. The PAT
failed leaving the score at 13-6.
After an exchange of fumbles,
the Bulldogs put together
back-to-back scoring drives, the
first starting at their own 37.
The Dogs moved quickly to the
Honey Grove 29 on the running
of Paul Morris and Hagan and a
21 yard pass from Reynolds to
Paul. It was at this point that the
little yellow flags dropped twice
in succession first for five yards
then 15 yards. On second and 28
Reynolds picked up 17 as the
quarter ended. Reynolds on
another keeper made it to the
eleven. Hagan added three
yards to the eight from where
Morris went up the middle.
Morris ran the PAT across to
increase Cooper’s lead to 21-6.
Honey Grove ran only a
couple of plays before Walker
intercepted again for the Dogs,
setting in motion the final
touchdown drive. Actually two
series, the Bulldogs began the
first at their own 26. Getting out
to only the 42, David James
punted, the ball hitting Warrior
Joe Whitley on the foot. Henson
recovering for Cooper at the
Warrior 40. Again Reynolds,
Morris and Hagan teamed up
for the needed yardage, Rey-
