 Comments On Games


"In the DeLeon game, on an onside kick, White of Coleman made a touchdown but the refeee, who hailed from DeLeon, did not seem clear on the rule governing same and the play was ruled out.  He was later shown his mistake but said he could not and would not change his decision."

Ballinger won district, beat Eastland 69 to 0 in bi-district, then lost to Garland 7 to 13 in regional.
