From Brawley high school cam
pus there comes a report of indig-
nation on the part of the coaching
staff and the players concerning
information spread that Brawley
WIS lucky to defeat Holtville high
school. 7-6, a couple of weeks ago
Brawley, the Wildcats will as
sure you, is the team that will de-
feat Calexico in the championship
race this season. and when the
experts are pinned down there are
few who will go so far as to bet
against the wildcats at that.
But regardless of the strength
of Brawley. and the Wildcats have
that, Holtville did come within
the proverbial eyelash of defeating
the northenders, and any team that
wins by a 7-6 score must admit lady
luck took a hand in that victory
somewhere along the line.
Anything can happen when a
team is attempting to add the ex-
ira point. An offside penalty can
nullify the play, a lineman can
block the try, bad pass from
center, a poor kick or a tumble by
the quarterback will make the try
as futile as Herman Graves stand
against Bigboy Hogue.
Brawley did outgain Holtville
when the teams clashed and the
Northenders did make the most of
their opportunity to score. But Holt
vile can remind you that the Vik-
ings missed scoring on three oc-
casions in the second half and on
one occasion in the first half.
If you're wise you won't bet much
against Coach Sheldon Loughbor-
ough's crew this season because
the backfield of Williams. Navarro.
Rodriguez and Minter is nifty
one and that line is not soft
touch by any means. But don't take
anything from Palmgren's Holtville
boys either They played a whale OF
game agaist Brawley and
might have won.
