Cards romp to Homecoming win, 30 - 6
Reporter too tired to await Streakers

OK, it wasn't a surprise: Alexandria - 30, Little Falls - 6.
The Cards came out a little flat but after a couple of series got their ground game going. The offensive line took over and by halftime the Cards led 24 - 0.
A BIG concern is that sometime around the end of the half or the beginning of the second, our 304-pound right offensive tackle, Bryant Pearson, suffered a knee injury and didn't play the rest of the game. We certainly hope it's not serious.
The Cards received the second half kick-off and in only three runs from scrimmage scored again to make it 30 - 0. Substitutes played the rest of the game.
To paraphrase Snoopy, it was a dark and foggy night. Since it had already been a long day for some of the older alumni - from the Hall of Fame luncheon, to the homecoming parade, to tailgating before the game, and then the game - we have to admit to leaving the game at the end of the 3rd quarter. We were taking a chance - a major reason for Ruthie's appearances at these games is the possibility of seeing a streaker!
