Vi ' "V y ' - , $ ttiiiMII I iinlllllfi iriMM Mr 1 1 i irinni in n "BH : The Madras White Buffaloes bow out of state contention after the Dalles Dragons buried them 52-13 on the Madras home field. The loss ended one of the most successful seasons for the Madras White Buffa loes as there has never been a team to make it through the first round in playoff action. The highly rated Dallas Dragons, champions of the Capitol Conference showed no surprises of what was expected of them. Just last year, Dallas made a good showing for themselves in loosing out in the state AAA playoffs. This, their first year in the AA ranks, has had them up in the higher bracket in the standings all season long. Earlier in the season they knocked off the Pendleton Buckaroo team in a non conference Rated No. 1 all season long, until they were knocked off in one game, they are now ranked No. 3 in the state. The Dragons were on the receiving end of the opening kickoff and, from the first play from scrim mage, fooled the entire defensive unit, and some of the spectators as well, as the QB faked a handoil to one of the runners, then turned and fired a pass to his receiver who was all alone. With no one between him and the goal line, the runner went all the way in to score on a 63 yard run. The kick was good giving them the early lead 7-0, The Buffs, unable to get anything going, punted to Dalles. After a series of downs they had third and long, again they fooled everyone and went to the airways to score their second TD for the day. Dalles, not known for a passing team, had quite a day in that department piling up a chunk of yardage through the air. Along with a fine day through the air, the Dragons displayed two of the finest running backs in the state who also piled up yardage carrying the ball. The running of Byrne and Scrabeck had the Buff defenders on their toes all the time. With two fine running backs like these guys they could easily set the stage for a good passing game. After trailing 14-0, the Buffs got into the scoring column on a 25 yard pass from Todd Beamer to Tony Stacona, Lytle's kick was good, giving the Buffs seven points. But, on the kick-off, Dalles' Bryne took the kick and ran 85 yards to score for the Dragons. They were not about to let the Buffs get too close. This score and another by the Dragons put them up 21-7. But again they went to the air for another score, this time a six-yard pass from McBeth to Byrne, now making it 28-7. Todd McGuire answered back on the kickoff as he broke tackle two or three times and was out in the open and raced 90 yards for the score. A pass try for two points failed leaving the score -28-13 at the end of the first quarter. In the second q uarter the Dragons wasted no time as they scored three more TDs to give them a commanding of 49-13 at the half. A 26-yard field goal capped the scoring for the day, the kick by Garcia was good. The Dallas Dragons meet Pleasant . Hill in their next outing and the winner of that game will be for the championship with either North Valley or Sweet Home. , White Buffalo quarterback Todd Beamer unloading a long pass to wide receiver Tony Stacona completing a 25-yard pass and a TD for the Buffs, their first score against the Dallas Dragons.

Run aimed at honoring George Wilson The Madras Sun Runners is a local running club founded by George Wilson in 1980. George was the inspirational leader of the club until his death on October 25, 1986. To honor George, the Madras Sun Runner's have decided to rename the "Madras Turkey Trot" (a run started by George in 1981), the "George Wilson Memorial Run." The first running of this race will be held Saturday, November 29th, at 11:00 a.m. The goal of this years run is threefold: (1) To honor George Wilson for all he has contributed to our running club and the community; (2) To raise money to assist his family on offsetting some of their expenses; and (3) To establish a scholarship in George Wilson's name to be given to a graduating senior from Madras. The scholarship award will be given to the athlete who competed with the same dedication and team spirit that George displayed. Putting on a race is an expensive proposition. Our club wants this years race to be extra special, and so we are asking the business com munity to make a contribution to the: George Wilson Memorial Run, co Toni Brown, 1836 NE Hilltop Lane, Madras, Oregon 97741. Contributions large or small will be appreciated. A contribution of $25.00 or more entitles you to a George Wilson Memorial Run T shirt. Please specify the size you want when you mail in your check. If you cannot give us your financial support, we will need numerous volunteers on the day of the race and would welcome any help offered. Just call me at 475-7277 (work) or 475-6818 (home). We do not expect to make a request to the business community for financial assistance again for this race. The first time a race is run the expenses are higher. George Wilson was a valuable member of our community and I thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide for his race. The Madras White Buffaloes were host to the Tri-Valley representa tive, Gladstone, in round-one of the state AA football playoffs on Saturday, November 8. The White Buffaloes jumped out to a 20-6 halftime lead and held on, to defeat the Gladiators 26-20 to advance to the quarterfinal round. Gladstone got on the scoreboard first from a four-yard run by Daryl Fisher, the kick for the PAT went wind giving the visitors a 6-0 lead. The Buffaloes strike right back when quarterback Todd Beamer connected with Todd McGuire on a 24-yard touchdown. Lytle's kick was good, putting the Buffs out in front, 7-6. The second Buffalo score came from a Gladstone fumble on their own 28th giving the Buffs good field position. Beamer rolled right, cut back and went in to score from six yard out. Lytle's kick put the Buffs out in front 14-6. On a fourth down situation for the Gla diators, Butch David broke through and blocked their punt and picked the ball up and ran down the side line into the end zone but an illegal block nullified that TD run but set up the Buffs in good field position on the Gladiators 28 yard line. A few plays later, Todd McGuire ran in from nine yards out. Lytle's kick went wide, putting the Buffs out to a 20-6 lead as the first half ended. It was like waking up a giant in the second half as the Gladiators took the second half kick and marched right down field to score on a 15 yard pass. Fisher ran the ball in for two points. A big break for the Buffs came when the center put the ball over the punters head and the defensive unit downed him on the one yard line, giving the Buffs a first and goal on the one. On the next play Lytle punched the ball over for the score. A pass fell incomplete on the try for two leav ing the score 26-14. In the final quarter Gladstone strikes again on a seven yard pass. A run for two points failed, but they were still in striking distance down by only six. Late in the game the Buffaloes turned over the ball on the 18 yard line but the defense rose to the occasion and held the Gladiators for four downs. Gladstone had no more time outs so the Buffs just ran the clock out giving them the win ad advance in state playoffs. it.... t V 1C v - I I i. J ii. 1 mmr- V 1 I ! - ' Jit , I m , i I I tk-J?
