the Broncs looked as tough as ever. The terrible
of Jimmy Floyd, Danny Monroe and Tommy Hill hit
quick and fast to keep the Indian offense down, as did the t'est of
the defensive crew.
The Broncs did have another night of "fumble-itis," losing 4
fumbles, but it didn't keep them from shining. Obviously, they'll
have to work on those as the season goes on.
The Bronehos scored on their first series with the ball. Quanah
took the kick at the opening of the game, but couldn't materialize
a drive. A punt on fourth down hit Reese on the Quanah 43,
where he was downed immediately.
Johnny Gerner ran for 1, Croslin passed to Scott Hamilton for
12, Reese fell for a minus 2, then King took a handoff, ran
around the right end and gallopped in for the touchdown from 32
yards out. King's kick was good and it was 7-0.
On the next series, Quanah's Edward Hobbs fumbled on first
down, and Clarendon's Gary Davis recovered on the 35. Croslin
hit Reese with a screen and he got to the 25, King ran 4, Reese 4
and Croslin kLt the ball to the 10. Reese squeaked down to the
8, but on second down, Croslin fumbled and the Indians ended
the drive with a recovery.
Quanah's score was set up in the next series following a long
punt which put theBronchos down on their own 9. From the 9,
King fumbled the ball, and Quanab's Steve White recovered.
Two passes put the ball on the 6-inch line, and running back
Mike Melton took the ball in for the score. The kick tied the
game up at 7-7.
Clarendon muldn,t stand the tie, and on the return kick, Reese
broke loose and ran from his own $ to the Quanah 37. On first

Alanreed annexation proceedings fail, announces changes
and the Donley County School Board. The Gray board turned it
down, thus killing the move.
The key factor in the Gray County board turning the
annexation down was opposition from the Alanreed School
Board. The Alanreed board said that the annexation would take
from $10,000 to $15,000 a year in tax money away from the
Alanreed district, which they said would sign the death warrant
for the already financially troubled district.
A petition has been presented for the consolidation of the
Alanreed district with the McLean district. No election date has
been set. but presumably the election will be in the near future.
The Aianreed board is opposing the consolidation to McLean, a
spokesman said. and if the consolidation attempt fails, then
Alanreed will be faced with another year of finding enough
money to operate on. This being the case. the Alanreed board
felt that any loss of taxes would cripple the district.
