Jinx over; Bronchos win 14-7 Second-half rally dooms favored 12th-rated NAIA Savages By Bill Kramer Sports Editor Last year's 0-10-1 record could be just a faded memory for Central
State University's football team after they rallied 14-7 past 12thranked NAIA Southeastern Oklahoma State University Saturday before 3,500 fans in Durant.
Southeastern dominated the first half, but the Bronchos scored 14 second-half points, thanks to a hurry-up offense, catching the Savages off guard.

Spikers dominate in season opener Despite his Lady Bronchos' season-opening annihiltation of Bartlesville Wesleyan College Tuesday, volleyball Head Coach Mark Herrin said he still is unsure exactly how will his team will perform this year. "It went so quickly (32 minutes) that we didn't get to see a lot of things," Herrin said. Central State University, led by 12 service aces, blew past the Lady Eagles 15-0, 15-2, 15-0. The Lady Bronchos were led by Fort Worth/Castleberry, Texas, junior Shawna Clark's game-high 14 assists and Azle, Texas, sophomore setter Amy Parten's nine kills. CSU dominated the statistical categories with 21 kills and 15 assists, compared to only two kills and two assists for the Lady Eagles. "They have a relatively new program," Herrin said. "They have a new coach committed to building a better program there. "We kept it really simple. Defensively, we played real strong and we served real tough." Clark also had four service aces as did Edmond junior outside hit-
Head Coach Gary Howard praised his troops for their rally. "To have a first half like we did, and then play that well in the second half was great," Howard said. "That's one of the better second halfs we've ever played. "I think they've learned what it takes to win." Southeastern, a 10-point favorite by the odds-makers, came out firing under Greenville, Texas, junior quarterback Jay Mapps, who was 7-7 for 80 yards passing in the first quarter. The Broncho offense had no first downs in the first quarter and only two in the half, gaining only 51 yards in 24 plays. The first half was dominated by Southeastern statistically, but the Broncho defense remained tough. The Savages, aided by nearly 200 return yards in the game, were deep in CSU territory several times in the first half. On Southeastern's first possession, Mapps drove the Savage offense 71 yards in 10 plays for a 7-0 lead. With 9:58 remaining in the first quarter, Mapps hit Alfred Brigham from seven yards out. On their next five possessions, the Savages penetrated CSU's 20-yard line four times but blew each opportunity and managed only a 7-0 halftime lead.

The Bronchos scored on three of their first four possessions in the second half, erasing the Savages' 7-0 lead. Sophomore place kicker Lee Stamper connected on field goals of 23 and 32 yards as CSU drives stalled at the Southeastern 6 and 16, respectively. On their initial possession, CSU marched 61 yards in 13 plays to cut the deficit to 7-3. Thirteen plays and 42 yards later, Stamper booted another field goal to cut the lead to 7-6. With 10:44 left in the game, CSU took over after a Southeastern punt at the Savage 28. On the sixth play of the drive, CSU quarterback Zane Burgess ran in for a one-yard touchdown and put the Bronchos ahead for the first time, 14-7. Southeastern threatened late, driving to the CSU 24, but failed on a fourth and six conversion. The Savages surrendered the ball, and CSU ran out the clock. Defensively, CSU was led by Leming, Jason Stubbs and Byron Mooney, with six tackles each and Lane, Chris Braxton and Keith Traylor, with five tackles apiece. With the win, the Bronchos end an overall nine-game losing steak, a five-game, road losing streak and a four-game season opener losing streak. CSU plays at Southern Utah College next week at 7:30 p.m. (MDT).
