It’s the type of game usually seen
only in post-season play. But Lake
Highlands’ coach Joe Bob Johnson
says it’s the best type Texas high
school football to be found any
where.
He’s talking about District 13-
AAAA, and the competition to be
played for the third straight
weekend Friday night when his
lOth-ranked Wildcats meet the
2nd-ranked Plano Wildcats. The
game highlights the weekend
schedule of Texas schoolboy foot-
balL and matches the only rated
teams against each other this week.
“Our kids know where we stand,
and I’m sure Plano is aware of the
importance of the game, too,”
Johnson told UPI. “It won’t be hard
to get either team ready. It’s just a
matter of which team executes the
best and doesn’t commit mistakes.”
Two weeks ago Plano defeated
Highland Park in the first of three
big weekends in the district race.
Last week Highland Park defeated
Lake Highlands. This week’s game,
therefore, is extremely important to
both Lake Highlands and Highland
Park if they both hope to overcome
the quick start taken by Plano, state
champions in 1977 and runnerup to
Houston Stratford last year.
Another Class AAAA powerful
district. West Texas’ 5-AAAA, also
has two ranked teams in action this
week — No. 1 Abilene Cooper takes
on playoff-rich Odessa Permian and
8th-ranked Midland Lee goes to San
Angelo. Other games matching
top-rated teams find Class AAA’s
Jasper at Silsbee, and Class A’s
China Spring at Moody. Kenedy,
the top-ranked Class AA team, has

If a veteran football player was
asked what it’s like to be a rookie,
he’d probably say he spent most of
his time listening to the coaches,
learning his plays, staying out of
trouble and playing very little.
That pretty well describes the
routine of Texas A&M tailback
Johnny Hector, except for one im
portant difference. Unlike many
rookies. Hector has not only played
in a game, he’s started one as well.
The 5-11, 185 pound freshman’s
chance came this past Saturday
against the Texas Tech Red Raiders
in an important game. Senior Aggie
tailback Curtis Dickey had been
bothered all last week by a dislo
cated thumb he suffered in the
Memphis State game.
During pre-game warmups in
Lubbock, Dickey had trouble han-

It happened to secretaries first. Then lawyers, bookkeepers, waitresses,
cabbies, housewives, and businessmen succumbed to the beauty of our
Pilot Razor Point and Flneliner pens.
Some people felt it was sick to get so emotionally involved with our
pens. But is it really so crazy to love a Pilot Razor Point pen that writes with
a sharp smooth tine and costs a mere 79C? Is it nuts to flip over its unique
little metal collar that smartly helps to keep its point from going squish?
If it is crazy, it’s going to surprise a whole lot of people. In fact, we
understand that Pilot Razor Point even has what it takes to score extra
points with football players.
It also comes to our attention that many
coaches are fans of the Pilot Flneliner.
Along with all the other Razor
Point features, the 69C
Pilot Flneliner has
the strength and
drive to go through carbons.
It’s hard to resist a pen

dling the football and Texas A&M
head coach Tom Wilson elected to
go with Hector instead. While he
was thrilled to be able to start, Hec
tor said he was not surprised.
“Of course I didn’t know for sure I
would start until just before the
game,’ Hector said. “But I had a
feeling I might since Curtis didn’t
get to work out much last week.
Coach Wilson sort of hinted at it,
because he kept telling me to be
prepared, that I probably would get
a chance to play.”
As far as learning is concerned.
Hector said he probably hasn’t had
to absorb as much knowledge as
some freshmen, since he played in
an I-formation offense while in high
school at New Iberia, La. He added
that the only position he played
there was tailback.
“I know it sounds strange, but
that’s all I’ve ever played,” he said.
T’m not like some guys who’ve
played both offense and defense,
sometimes at two or three different
positions on each team. I think
that’s given me a chance to work on
perfecting my style more. I consider
myself sort of a 'jitter-bug’ runner.
“The funny thing about it all is
that during my senior year in high
school, I didn’t get all that much
playing time. After our first five
games, we were blowing out a lot of
teams, so I’d only play in the first
half.”
Even so. Hector, who has run the
40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds, gained
over. 1,300 yards his senior season,
including a game high of 188. His
performance gained him all-District
recognition, as well as all-state and
