Defense stressed in
little conference duels
By DUANE E. HARRIS
Sports Editor
Aggressive defense was the name of
the game Thursday, October 3 in St
Joseph Stadium where Little
Conference teams Champ Cooper.
First Guaranty, Kiwanis and Citizens
met head-to-head.
In game one, Kiwanis defeated
Citizens National Bank 13-6 in a hard-
played battle of the bronze.
For Kiwanis speed was the key. Hosie
Brown scored on a sweep right of five
yards and quarterback John Dillon
powered up and over on a QB sneak for
the score.
John Dillon went the distance as
quarterback passing 15 yards while he
also listed as one of the team's leading
rushers.
Leading in rushing were Hosie Brown
and John Dillon who added their
pickup to the team's 62 yard total. In all,
Kiwanis compiled 77 yards total
offense.
Leading the defensive department for
Kiwanis was Brad Landry, Trent Brown
and John Dillon who registered sacks
amounting to 17 yards lost by Citizens.
In game two. it was nothing but
defense between Champ Cooper and
First Guaranty. The game ended 0-0.
Chad Sanchez, Henry Mosely and
Jeff Delatte led Champ Cooper in
rushing while quarterback Jason Drury
threw 60 percent.
Guaranty was led in rushing by Brett
Pinion and Jeff Minzier, while quarter-
back Mark Claytor threw 40 percent for
Guaranty.
According to Ponchatoula derma.
tologist Dr. Bob Benson, every
grandmother in New Orleans says
"gawd help dem Saints."
Benson originated the idea and has
recently developed the official Saints
T,shirt depicting the stylish phrase on
the back and picturing in five colors,
a Saints scene on the front. The T-
shirts will be sold to benefit the
Reynolds Institute for homeless
children, troubled youth, and uncared
for and abused children.
The shirt is part of a neat package.
For a donation, you can get the
official Saints T-shirt and the Saints
45 rpm record commemorating the
team's management takeover.

shirt can drop by Dr. Benson's

Speaks Out
On the fair
By DUANE E. HARRIS
Times Reporter
After going to the Tangipahoa
Parish Fair held in Amite, do
you feel that the fair generated
its fair share of Tangi tourism?
Byron Little."l would have to
say yes, it did. The fair had some-
thing for everyone and it seemed
that quite a few people showed up
for the fair."
Carla Kinchen-"For Amite I
think it did. For neighboring towns
I don't think it did anything as far
as bringing money into the
community is concerned."
Ray Golden-"Oh yeah, definitely.
Driving to the fair, 1 saw license
plates on cars approaching the
grounds from all over the country
which means that, people came,
and that's tour lsm.'
Pat Burns- People are going to
country fairs and such these days
and I think that any fair in the area
helps towns. I didn't go, but [ think
it's a great thing and people need
to get away and go to things like
that. So it helps everyone."
Jimmy Rome-"l know that a lot
of the quick stops took in the
business with open arms. Places
that normally aren't crowded were
just flooded with customers over
the weekend and well, that's got
to be because of the fair. I'm not
talking about Hammond either,
just Ponchatoula."
Craig Granger-'There were
too many people there! It took
longer for us to drive through
Amite to reach the grounds than it
did for us to drive to Amite from
Ponchatoula. But it was great and
l think it had an effect on
Ponchatoula people."
Evelyn Cyoch-"There was an
increase in business here. More
people came to look at the fair
surroundings than I had expected.
1 can say that the fair was a
success in keeping the tourists
coming. All we need to do is to
keep them coming.
Joseph Wagner-"The fair
brought me here and 1 live in
Mississippi! Yeah, 1 wanted to
meet that old Cajun, Justin
Wilson. He was something else!
But the family and I enjoyed the
fair and we'll be back next year."
