Defense In 14-0 Lion Win Maroons Loud i Sunset Effort "Our attitude wasn't what it should have been. We could play better football." That's way Brownwood tackle Joe Shaw summed up the Lions' methodical 14-0 trouncing of the Dallas Sunset Bisons Friday night. Most other Lions were in agreement. "Sunset was very aggressive and wanted to win. Our poor mental attitude led to errors and Sunset was quick to take advantage," Lion center Larry Hall added.

"Cooper (Abilene) will be after us. They want revenge after two straight losses to us. They're always fired-up anyway." Junior wingback Mike Ralliff got his first real of varsity competition and came away impressed with the Bi- sons. "They were aggressive make an error and they are there." Ratliff also had a few words lo say about Cooper, the Lions' next opponent on Oct. 1.

"We'll have to be a lot better -or take a bad licking. Cooper wants Us bad." Tackle Jerry Jones was one of he few Lions who rated Sunset on a par with Cleburne. "Sunset's line hit faster than Cleburne's. Cleburne seemed to sor of lean on you, but Sunset hit hard and fast." Sunset was the Lions' second Class AAAA opponent of the season and Cooper will be the third come Oct. 1.

What do the Lions prefer, AAA or AAAA opposition? Quarterback Billy Branum says there's not too much difference in the two classes. "But playing against 4A teams helps you prepare better for district play," he said. Guard Billy Bly agreed. "Class AAAA schools have more players to choose from, which usually leads to a more aggressive ball club." 4-AAA Us Break Even In Six Tilfs District 4-AAA members broke even against outside fool- ball opposition Friday night, running their season non-district record to 8-6. Browmvood and surprising Burkburnett posted victories to remain as tho loop's only unbeaten teams.

Virnon, HlrtOil il lowi BHS Gefs Third Abilene Cooper Next Foe impressive or net, the Brownwood High School football Lions keep rolling along. Coach Gordon Wood's Maroon-clad troops managed touchdown drives in the first and third quarters and rallied behind a sterling defense to post a vipto'rv over the visiting Dallas Sunset Bisons In Lion Stadium Friday night. Brownwood, chalking up its third straight shutout victory, showed occasional flashes of offensive brilliance to go along with their vaunted defense. The Lion, attack struck for its biggest yardage chunks of the season, 117 in the air and 171 on the ground, while- the gang-tackling defensive unit limited the Class AAAA visitors to six first downs and 82 yards on the ground. BISON DRIVES Most of Sunset's yardage came on the Bisons' two threats of neither was a serious scoring gesture.

The Bi- sons marched 68 yards to the Lion 23 late in the game and their 39-yard journey in the second period ran out of downs at the home 32. Wood says he stresses defense first, kicking game second and offense third. A fine kicking game and defense paid off for the Lions' first tally Friday night. A towering 47-yard punt off the toe of quarterback David Henley early in the first period put the Bisons in a hole they could never escape. Sunset halfback Jack Miller did his part by taking Henley's punt at the one-yard stripe instead of allowing the ball to roll into the zone.

A thundering herd of Maroon shirts stopped the Bison speedster in his tracks. TWO. YARDS Three stabs at the Brownwood defense netted the Big crew but two yards before fullback Joe Whitney's punt into a stiff wind was blown dead at the Sunset 28. It took the Lions eight plays to push it over; Fullback Jimmie Piper, who scored both Brownwood touchdowns on short plunges, carried six timer for 26 yards in the drive and it was his 10-yard ramble to the Sunset three that, kept the move alive. Piper rammed over from the Uiree to tack the first six points on the Scoreboard-with 3:66 left in the opening period, Reserve quarterback Billy Branum split the uprights with the first of his two successful extra point kicks.

Brownwood's second and final touchdown came on a laborous 12-play drive that chewed up 53 yards midway through the third period. PIPER SHINES Piper again shouldered the load by picking up 24 of the yards in five trips. The big gainer was a 14-yard run by the hard-running Lion fullback. Halfback Ceroy Deanda contributed runs of six and three yards and sophomore Wayne Fenton picked up nine in two. A key play was an eight-yard Henley to George Martin aerial on a third and five situation at (lie Sunset 48.

Piper slammed over tackle from two yards out for tne touchdown with 3:34 left in the period. Branum's kick was again good. Brownwood made several threats in between the two TD drives, but the clock, mistakes and a stubborn Sunset defense prevented any other scoring. CLOCK STOPS LIONS The balftime clock stopped the locals at the Sunset 21 after a 48-yard drive. This move was sparked by Henley passes of 17 yards to Piper on the screen, 15 to wingback Kirk Wall and seven to Martin.

Brownwood was camped on the Sunset 33 when the game ended. Big play in the 47-yard drive was a 38-yard pass from Branum to Martin. Brownwood reached the Sunset 16 early in the second period before the Bison defense stiffened to toss Henley for two consecutive losses. Another Brownwood threat ran out of downs at the Sunset 33. Sunset found the Brownwood defense too tough.

Only twice, when the Lion defenders were caught napping, were the Bisons able to move the ball with any authority. BISON PASSES The Bisons didn't register their initial first down until late in the second period when two Bruce Prine aerials found their mark to end Eddie Jones and halfback Ronnie Lewis for gains of 17 and 14 yards to the Lion 32. Sunset marched 68 yards to the home 23 late in the game only to see Brownwood end Rollin Hunter charge through to pin halfback Bill Duvall for a 10-yard loss back to the 33. Piper, getting his first real shot at ball-carrying chores, led all rushers with 74 yards in 18 trips. He had been called on only eight times in two previous games.

Fenton came through with 57 yards in 13 tries -and Deanda 49 in 10 as the Lion rushing attack showed some signs of breaking out of the doldrums, HENLEY, BRANUM Lion quarterbacks staged an impressive 9-for-15 passing show with Henley connecting on six of 10 for 69 yards and Branum two of four for 41. Seven receivers got into the act with Martin leading the way for three receptions good for 43 steps. Whitney led Sunset rushers with 62 yards in 15 tries, thanks to a 24-yard run on a fake punt that sparked the 68-yard drive. Miller had 31 in five. The Sunset defense was a tough one, with tackles Larry Yowell and Pete Campbell among the shining lights.

Again it was the defense that paved the way for the Brownwood triumph with such stick- outs as Joe Shaw, Jerry Jones, Billy Bly, Walter Croft and Piper outshining UK offense. Shaw, Hunter, Jones and Bly put tor- riffic pressure on the Sunset Dragons Rap Early, 16-0 By HAIMY CUNB 01 Bulliltn Sllll EARLY Halfbacks Ronnie Morton and Pete Jianwy led Btngs to its second straight shutout Friday night the Dragons blanked the Early Longhonw 16-0 at McDonald Field, Although Dragons sewed only twice, they marched up and down the field at will, amazing total of 335 yards on the ground and adding an additional 23 through tho air, Bangs' sharp hitting backs executed exceptional ball handling which was highly evident on reverie and double reverse that caught the Longhonu by surprise throughout the Bangs driving, too Prtgws had vtry little trouble marching against a lighter, but scrappy l-onghorn crew Coach Hugh Sullivan.

(Staff Photo) Dublin Roars Past De Leon DUBLIN The Dublin Lions! when wingback Duane Simmons combined an effective running game and a perfect passing percentage to hand the De Leon Bearcats' their second loss in a row Friday 14-6. Dublin scored two second period touchdowns and then played rugged defense against a hard fighting De Leon team to down the Bearcats. The Lions' first score came with 5:56 left in the second stanza when Johnny Holtzinger crashed over from the three yard line.

The play was also set up by Holtzinger with a 61 yard run from scrimmage. The power runner shook off four De Leon tacklers before being hauled down 3 yards short of paydirt. A two-point conversion was added via a pass from quarterback Jody Thiebaud to all-state candidate end Richard Stevens. The second score' came with only 34 seconds left in the half quarterbacks who were spilled for numerous losses while trying to pass. Other linemen who turned, in strong games were Pat Humphries, Robert Porter, Larry Hall, Mike Mclnnis and Gary Meador.

Roy Spence, Henley and Deanda helped to keep the Sunset passing game at bay most of the night. Lions will take the next week they may need it to prepare for the'Oct. 1 game in Abilene against a Cooper team that is steaming after two straight lickings at the hands of toe Maroons. Cooper tied District 5-AAAA favorite Fort Worth 6-6 Friday night and stayed undefeated for the season. Wichita opener.

The Cougers Falls in their upset season connected with Stevens for 20 yards. The run for the two point conversion failed. De Leon lit up the Scoreboard with 8:31 left in the third frame when quarterback Donnie Sharp ran a fake punt and run play that went down the right side of the Dublin defense. The run for the extra points (ailed. De Leon mounted a series threat early in the game when Sharp connected for two good passes to halfback Bill Lamb and end Bo Shifflett that covered 18 arid 27 yards.

The Bearcats rached the seven yard, line, but the drive died when De Leon drew a five yard penalty for offsides. The powerful Dublin defense led by Stevens. Holtzinger, and guard Randy Fletcher put the clamps on a dangerous De Leon running game. De Leon's top rusher, Lamb was held to 31 yards for the game. Big gun for Dublin was Holtzinger who gained 133 yards in 24 tries while Freshman Bobby Hickey, 170 pounds, destined 'to be a great high school performer, gained 61 yards in 15 carries.

Defensive stars for DeLeon, Bob Straub, Trent Thomas and Tommy Van Zandt performed commendably. Lamb also did an outstanding job stopping Dublin ball carriers who had broken through the line. He stopped several plays in the secondary, that would have been touchdowns. In the first quarter drive, Sharp connected with two of three passes that obviously penetrated Dublin's defense, but after the drive was killed, Sharp missed his next nine tosses. The Dublin forward wall of Bill Alexander, Steve Maikell and Jackie James kept constant pressure on Sharp throwing him for several losses and making hurried throws.

Two pass interceptions, one by Holtzinger and another by Phil Fletcher late in the game killed challenges De Leon had against the highly regarded Lions.
