Settled in the early 19th cent. in an area of large plantations, Bryan was long a cotton center. Rodgers Special to the Daily News For nearly 10 years, Sylmar High answered virtually every challenge imaginable i·mag·i·na·ble adj. Conceivable in the imagination: imaginable exploits. i·mag in league play, racking up 69 straight victories. But Friday Friday: see Sabbath; week. Friday young Indian rescued by Crusoe and kept as servant and companion. [Br. Lit.: Robinson Crusoe] See : Servant night in a Valley Mission League game at Kennedy, Sylmar failed to answer the call going for No. 70. David Contreras' 36 yard field goal attempt into a stiff wind in the closing minutes fell about five yards short, enabling Kennedy to post a 21-20 victory over the Spartans Spartans residents of Greek city known for its stern dedication to militarism. [Gk. Hist.: EB, IX: 403] See : Austerity Spartans Doric people noted for bravery, frugality, and stern self-discipline. [Gk. Hist. . It was Contreras' second unsuccessful kick. In the third quarter, he missed an extra point when his kick sailed wide right. ``Kennedy's coaches did a great job of preparing their team offensively,'' Sylmar coach Jeff Engilman said. ``It's just time for us to start another winning streak Noun 1. winning streak - a streak of wins streak, run - an unbroken series of events; "had a streak of bad luck"; "Nicklaus had a run of birdies" , that's all.'' Kennedy made it clear early that Sylmar would be tested quickly. The Cougars (5-3, 2-1) pieced together an impressive drive in the first quarter to set the tone. Sanders San´ders n. 1.

Trent's reception capped a 19-play drive that included three successful conversions on fourth down. Sylmar (5-3, 2-1) quickly countered with a score of its own as it marched 80 yards in eight plays. Spartan quarterback John Valdez scored on a 1 yard run to tie it. From then on though, Kennedy excelled while Sylmar sputtered. ``Hey we made too many mistakes and they didn't make enough,'' Engilman said. ``We lost to a good football team.'' Kennedy's defense bottled up Sylmar's offense, as it held the high flying Spartans well below its average of 30 plus-points per game in City Section play. ``How bout that,'' Bob Francola said of his defense. Hector Arrieta was among several Cougars in Valdez's face for much of the evening. After Sylmar had tied it at 7-7, Cougars receiver James Norris James Norris may refer to:
``This is a huge win for us,'' Miles said. ``But you know what, I don't think Sylmar was prepared for us.''
