Keys to victory Friday: ”1 think
they're (Friona) probably stronger
defensively than last year and we've
got to find a way to move the football
consistently on them. They've got a big
play offense that we must contain. But
I think the main thing is to play with
the intensity we had last Friday night.
I feel pretty good with our chances
against anybody if we play with that
kind of intensity," Coach Dan Pair.
Forget their record!
Any sports fan who doesn’t believe
Friona has "the best 0-7 team around" has
to look no further than the Littlefield
Wildcats to verify it.
After scratching Tulia 35-7 the previ-
ous week, Littlefield had to score in the
final nine seconds to pull out a 14-7
decision over the Chieftains, Tulia's op-
ponent this Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in
Friona
"Our scouts and the Littlefeld coaches
said the game could have ended in a tic if
the Friona coach (Steve Williams) had
wanted it to," THS gndmastcr Dan Pair
related. "Coach Williams went for the
win instead of the tic, which I admire him
for."
Friona called a couple of time outs in
an effort to get on the scoreboard. This
left Littlefield with a few seconds to op-
erate after they gained possession.
"They have the tools to beat anybody
and proved that Friday night against
Littlefield," Coach Pair mentioned As
further proof, he said Friona "dominated
Floydada the first half and outgained
Floydada 200 to 60 yards" during the first
two quarters despite entering intermis-
sion with a 21-12 deficit.
Floydada and Littlefield arc District 2-
3A frontrunners. Canyon, which
outlasted Tulia 7-0, won 14-6 over
Friona. The Chicftaias gained almost 600
yards in a 19-12 loss at the hands of
Tahoka.
SWANSON’S SEASON OVER
After the Littlefield setback and a 32-0
victory over Mulcshoe, the Hornets face
another "must win" situation if they are to
SANDERS PLAYER OF WEEK
'This was probably the best
game he's ever had. He did a great
job of reading blocks—that Is
probably what he really improved
on," Coach Dan Pair said of Cory
Sanders after the Hornet halfback
was selected as Amarillo Dally
News 3A Player of the Week. "He
moved to the Inside and the out-
side and used his speed to his
advantage." He scored four
touchdowns, plus having two
other TDs and a long run elimi-
nated by penalties.

Friday’s competition, the THS gridders
have matches against Floydada and
Dimmitl remaining, ng.
Bad news, which has visited the Hor-
net camp often this campaign, has come
calling again. The football career of all-
district tackle Jeff Swanson—who
missed the last two games with a knee
injury—has ended, he was informed
Saturday by a doctor.
A senior captain, Swanson anticipates
undergoing knee surgery, possibly during
the Christmas holidays.
The Maroon and White emerged from
the hard-hitting Muleshoe game with
"lots of bumps and bruises" but no serious
injuries.
Coach Pair was "real pleased" with his
squad's performance in their last outing.
Thai’s the kind of intensity we've been
looking for all year.”
Fnona is ’’potcnually one of the most
explosive teams in our district," Pair
added. "They’re scary," Coach Richard
Chapman added. "They could easily have
a winning record."
The Chieftains come equipped with
"two solid running backs" in Curtis
Brady, a 185 pound senior, and Ismael
Rocha, a 165 pound senior. "Both arc big
kids with good speed."
Coach Pair said Friona "has a pretty
balanced attack out of a multiple seL

Fnona "always seems to play Tulia

was "certainly the exception rather than
the rule."
The Chieftains also arc "very, very
