So much for the
Brownsburo Bean...
The Tiga~ were about
as close to awesome as you
can probably I~ last Friday
night in their 37-8 romp over their
arch-rivals to the East. Almost all
phases of the Tigers' game, with a
couple of exceptions, were in high gear
during the very satisfying rout.
Offensively, the Tigers enjoyed their
most successful outing in an een. Let's
face it, 455 total yards is not a shabby
night's work. What's even more ira-
pressive is the route the Tigers took
toward the high output. Gaining 275
rushing yards, the Ttgem added IS0
through the airways. When's the last
time you remember a Tiger team
passing for that many yards?
The offensive success indicates the
Tigers have zhade a smooth transition
into their new Wishbone offense. It also
means the consistency level is con-
tinulug to improve. Consistency has
been a key goal for Coach Dale Norris
and the Tigers, as it is for any team,
since two.a-days began. While the
Tigers are not where they would
probably llke to be yet, they are getting
there.
Before you take a look at the in-
dividusl start and their numbers, once
again let me remind you to not forget
the men up front. The Tigers' huge
front line dominated the trenches,
providing the backs running room and
quarterback Russell Tarver ample
time to pass. Another area the linemen
did a creditable Job is in the downfield
blocking area. Whether it was a run-
ning play or the screen and swing
passes,~ after their initial block
onthe
line of scrimmage the unsung heroos
headed downfield for more blooking
duties.
James Jackson, Vie Kirkland and
Tarver stole the offensive spotlight
against the Bean. Jackson, playing
with a couple of nagging injuries,
rushed for 75 Stills on Just five carries.
That's an pverage of 15 yards a carry,
football fans. The senior halfback also
had an incredible III yards on two pass
receptions.

Mike Buchanan was the winner of
last week's Malakoff News football con-

Dana Wilson, Clayton Simmons, I. K.

opened the season with a scoreless tie
against the Whitehouse Wildcats a~d
bombed Ferris 21-6 last week. The
Tigers (2-0) own wins over Kerens, 21-0,
and Brownsboro, 37-8.
In their win over Ferris, the Panthers
utilized a 162-yard rushing performan-
ce from Donald Blanton. Blanton
carried the mail 20 times enroute to his
many yards. Quarterback Tom Chap-
man and Ollie Watson also provided
yards via the ground as the Panthers
totaled 224 yards. Chapman added an
additional 24 yards through the friendly
skies.
Defensively, the Panthers rely on
agressive play from the defensive
front. Mabank's pass rush has forced
Panther foes into several interceptions
during the young season. When Panther
opponents gamble and go to the air
Tyson Johnson and John Whitman are
there to intercept the aerials. The op-
portunistic Mabank defense also
recovered two Ferris fumbles and
limited the Yellowjackets to just 52
,ards rushing and seven first downs.
