The 1982-83 basketball schedule begins with the
December 2 conference game against Lawton High at
Lawton.
But, before the Bulldogs open up their season, scrim-
mages are planned. “We will be scrimmaging Midwest City
and some other teams November 6th at Midwest City,” said
Head Coach Clester Harrington.
“November 20, Midwest City and Clinton will come down
here. I am still looking to get scrimmages for November 13
and 27.”
Altus will play in a conference for the first time in some

years. The Southern Conference consists of Altus, Lawton
High, Lawton MacArthur, Ardmore, Chichasha and Dun-
can.
“The conference will help us in three ways. It will be
easier to fill the schedule. You can have better intervals
between games and the team can play for a league cham-
pionship other than just a win and loss record,” Coach Har-
rington said.
Another change this year will be that for the first time in
12 years, Altus will not be in the state’s largest class. They
have dropped to 4A.
Coach Harrington said, “My emotions are mixed. We
were one of the smallest schools in the class and we were
very successful. But, if we keep thinking big we will be
alright.”

Last Friday the Woodward Boomers defeated the
Bulldogs 28-16 to drop Altus to no wins against six losses.
Center and defensive end Darin Riggs said the game was
lost on mental mistakes. “It wasn’t the fault of the
coaches,” Riggs said. “It was ours, we didn’t do what we
were supposed to.”
Jay Richeson, split end and free safety, said the team
played well in moving the ball on offense, but a couple of
breakdowns in the kicking game hurt the team.
Both listed the kick-off return that Woodward ran back 87
yards for a touchdown as the play that they would both
remember from the game.
This Thursday the Bulldogs take on Lawton MacArthur
Highlanders at Cameron Stadium at Lawton.
According to Head Coach Dave Brown, MacArthur has an
undisciplined but very quick team. They are 2-3 for the
season but beat Lawton Eisenhower.
“They play like they are on a roller coaster,” Brown said,
“up and down but they always seem to be at the top of the
hill when they play us.”
Riggs and Richeson both believe MacArthur has improv-
ed since the pre-season scrimmage. "They hit really hard
and have some great speed,” Richeson said.
MacArthur, according to Brown, runs a five down
linemen and a two linebacker defense. “If we play on their
level,” Brown said, “we will be soundly beaten.
“Offensively they will operate out of the wishbone most of
the time but we may see the I or split backs. The fullback
Pat Heartline has carried the ball the most and has gained
more yeards than all the rest put together. The two
halfbacks , Steven Crumpton and Curtis Thompson, are
burners. They have great speed when they use it.”
Brown added that to win the Bulldogs will have to be
ready to hit harder than they have ever been hit before.
MacArthur will be a tough team to beat, according to
Riggs. “They don’t like us,” he said, “we don’t like them.”
