2B Paris Nawc, teat. 12,1976 Idabel holds Tigers off to post 18-6 win By BOYD HURT CLARKSVILLE The Clarksviile Tigers thrilled a fuli house of Tiger fans here Friday evening even if they did drop their home opener and their second consecutive game of the season. The Idabel (Okla.) Warriors slipped by with an 18-6 win. The Clarksviile offense dominated the first half of the ball game and quarterback Kevin Davis racked up 102 yards rushing for the evening. It was obvious from the beginning that the Tigers had shored up their offensive attack and began right away putting it to the Oklahoma visitors.

CLARKSVILLE received the opening kick off and began play on their own 20 yard line. The Tigers had moved the ball to midfield and picked up two first downs before having to punt the ball away to the Warriors. The Warriors received the kick from Tiger punter Mike Humphrey and took over on their own 15 yard line only to find out that the Tiger defense had also done its homework. On the second Tiger possession of the evening, Davis led his team to the three yard line where running back A. J.

Johnson carried the ball in for the score. The PAT failed but for the first time in two seasons, the Tigers were out front, 60. The ball changed hands four more times with neither team able to gain on the other. THE WARRIORS received a Tiger punt and took their first scoring drive over on their own 29 yard line. Nine plays later, Warrior quarterback hit his end Wentz Akards for a 30 yarder and six points for Idabel.

Terry Welch tried running two extra points but was stopped by the Tiger defense. The Tigers were able to maintain possession of the ball for the remainder of the first half, but were unable to score again and the half ended 6-6. In third period play the Tigers found themselves backed up to their six yard line on fourth down and were forced to punt. TERRY WELCH, receiving deep for the Warriors, pulled the punt down.on his own 40 yard line and was off around his right end for the second Warrior score of the night. This time, Warrior quarterback Anthony Grayson tried for the extra point and failed to move the ball against the Tigers.

But the Warriors were out front 12-6. Illegal procedure penalties began hampering the Tigers at this point and could have been the factor that cost them their should-have- been-won game. The Tigers received the next kickol'f and two penalties and two im- complete pass plays put them in a punting situation again. Again, the Tigers were able to hold Idabel, but their own offensive efforts were again plagued by the procedure penalties. AS THE FOURTH quarter drew shorter in time, the Warriors seemed to have played down the Tigers and maintained good field position during the final minutes.

In fact, with only 12 seconds showing on the clock, Grayson hit Johnnie Lee Smith, his tall split end for six more points and icing on the cake. The PAT again failed but the final points had been put on the board. Clarksviile 12 198 15 Sol 9 0 633 1 1090 First Downs Yards Rushing Yards Passing Passes Int. by Punts-Avg.

The Warrior offense was to sustain a good drive during the contest as the Cardinal defense posted its second straight shutout of the young season. The Warriors took the opening kickoff out to their own 23 and following runs by Joe Whitley and John Boggs, they were forced to punt. THE CARDINALS took over at their own 43 and went to work. An 18 yard run by quarterback Lester Barrett and another 17 yarder moved the Cardinals well into Warrior territory. Two consectuvie penalties against the Warriors brought the ball to the eight yard line and two plays later the fullback Bill Malone scored from three yards out.

The extra point kick hit the crossbar and was no good, leaving the Cardinals with a 6-0 lead. The Warriors took over at their own 35 and moved for three first downs. Ted Ellis ran for 17 yards, Boggs carried for nine more as the Warriors moved into Cardinal ground. But three plays later the drive was over as the Cardinals fell on a Warrior fumble and took over at their own 40. NEITHER TEAM could move the ball on the next two possessions and following a fine 52 yard punt by Boggs, the Cardinals started their next scoring drive at their own 29.

The Warrior defense held the Cardinals but a 15 yard penalty for roughing the punter gave Pottsboro new life. Runs of nine and 17 yards and a 24-yard pass brought the Cardinals to the Warrior 10 yard line and three plays later Barrett scored from the one. Again the conversion failed as Malone was stopped short of a two-point attempt and Pottsboro led 12-0 with 2:13 remaining in the half. The Warriors were again stopped cold on their next possession and were forced to punt. Pottsboro went to work again and completed a WAITS WITH OPEN ARMS Potts- halfback Randy Leaton (left) ready and waitin' for this pass that 'goes for a touchdown during the Honey Grove-Pottsboro game Friday 4 registration open six more days night.

Davis ran for more than 100 yards but the Tigers failed to win as Idabel posted an 18-6 victory.

NEITHER TEAM could gel much off ense going in the second half as both piayed tough defense. The Warriors' biggest play in the third period came on their second possession of the quarter as Whitley hit Stanley Finney on a short pass that went for 25 yards. But that drive ended three plays later and the Warriors again gave up the football.

The Cardinals again took advantage of another Warrior mistake for their score as the Warriors fumbled on their own 32 yard line. A 22-yard run moved the ball to the 10 and two plays later Barrett scored from five yards out. Barrett then passed to Randy Leaton for the two point conversion and the Cardinals held the upper hand 20-0. THE NEXT Warrior attempt ended with an interception and the Cardinals took over on their own 40 yard line. On the first play the Cardinals struck for a 60 yard pass for an apparent touchdown but the play was called back due to a motion penalty.

The Cardinals could not produce another good drive in the final period as one of their drives ended in an interception by Honey Grove's Brad Lane. Next week the Warriors will face some more rough competition as they host the North Lamar Panthers at Warrior Stadium at 8 p.m. £Fjc Paris Sports Tony Lama, Nocona, Justin BOOT SALE I 60 M7.95 51.95 70 55.95 Stock Up Now!
