TIGERS UPEND LONGVIEW, 33-16
LONGVIEW - The Texarkana Tigers are pleased to announce the elimination of the Longview Lobos as a source of minor irritation.

The Tigers posted a 33 to 16 victory over the Lobos here Friday night in Lobo Stadium before a crowd of 3,500 fans.

Coach Jimmie Goff's Tigers won its seventh game of the 1971 season. However, it isn't where the head coach would like to be. His Tigers now must beat Palestine next Friday night at Texarkana to win the District 14-AAAA crown. It was Lufkin's Panthers that stopped the Tigers last Friday night, 21 to 6.

Texarkana is now 5-1-0 in district play and 7-2-0 for the season. Longview is 3-5-1 and 2-4-0 in district. Longview will close out the season at Lufkin next Friday night.

Texarkana's top-notch running back Donald Forte didn't see action against the Lobos. He is on the injury list and was held out of action. He is by far one of the top athletes in Texas. Forte is being highly recruited by all major scouts.

Longview put the first points on the scoreboard late in the first quarter. Jeb Blount kicked a 38-yard field goal with 1:09 left in the first chapter. The drive started on the Texarkana 22 yard line after James Williams fielded a punt and returned the ball from the Tiger 40 to the 22. On fourth down and eight, Blunt went for the field goal from the 20.

Texarkana scored their first touchdown of the night when quarterback Stacy Haynes passed to Harland Jones that cover 64 yards with 9:40 left in the second quarter. Mr. Jones caught the ball around the Lobo 25 and dashed on in for the touchdown. Ted Sutton kicked the extra point, 7 to 3. The drive started on the Tiger 26 yard line.

Quarterback Haynes passed to Charles Stokes for another touchdown that covered 14 yards with 2:39 left in the second quarter. The kick for the extra point by Sutton failed. The drive started on the Tiger 45 yard line.

Quarterback Jeb Blount passed to tailback Chuck Boyd for a touchdown that covered 3 yards as time ran out on the clock to end the 2nd quarter scoring. Blount added the extra point, 20 to 10. The touchdown was set up when the Lobos started the march from the 31 of Longview. A big gainer was a pass from Blount to Charles Fagan for 41 yards.

Fullback Gary Johnson went four yards over left tackle for a touchdown with 10:29 left in the third quarter. Sutton's kick was good, 27 to 10.

Johnson again scored with 1:53 left in the third quarter on a 55 yard run around the left side of the line. Sutton's kick failed, 33 to 10.

Longview's final touchdown came when Blount scored from nine yards out with 17 seconds left in the game. The run for points by Larry Harkless failed.
