Braves End Season On Awesome Note Two other awkward moments for Purroughs came when defensive backs Elliott Washington and Rick Stottlemeyer (on ground) combine to bring him to a sudden standstill (above) and when defensive back Jack Cerone brought him to earth with a crisp ankle tackle. Photos by Paul Kelly. Mungin, Godefte Star In Rout of Wesley, 45-12 By HARRY PICKETT DOVER, DEL. — It didn’t take long before it was over in Dover. Chowan College, led by the passing of Ben Mungin and the running of Percy Godette, rolled up 489 yards in total of fensive here Saturday, Nov. 4, to lead the Braves past the Wesley College Wolverines in Coastal Conference foot ball play, 45-12. Chowan ran its victory total to six wins against two defeats with the drub bing, and pulled to 4-2 in league play. Wesley dropped to 44 and 2-4. Leading 14-6 with less than two minutes to play in the first half,the Braves scor^ two quick touchdowns to take the starch out of the Wesley club. Chowan stymied the northerners for the remainder of the afternoon. Mungin engineered the first of two tallies with an 80-yard drive that took six plays — capping the march with a 24-yard scoring pass to spUt end Vince Lococo. Mungin rushed for 10 yards during the drive and passed for another 70. Twenty-eight seconds later, the Charleston product found tailback Per cy Godette open coming out of the backfield for his second of four touchdown passes for the afternoon. Godette’s 24-yard romp was set up by sophomore linebacker Stanley Kearney’s fumble recovery at the Wesley 24 sending Chowan to the dress ing room at the intermission with a commanding 28-6 lead. Coach Jim Garrison said following the game that his team played with its greatest intensity since losing back-to- back conference games to arch-rival Ferrum and Lees McRae. Mungin went to Morrrison for the first Chowan score — a 63-yard scoring pass to put the locals ahead 7-0 with 7:28 left in the first period. Godette scored Chowan’s second touchdown with a 53-yard gallop with 12:03 remaining in the second quarter after Wesley put its first score on the board with 13:00 remaining- leaving the score at 14-6. A 40-yard field goal by Charles Amos and a 43-yard touchdown pass by Godette from Mungin sent Chowan ahead 38-6 with 3:25 remaining in the third period Garrison inserted his reserves for the forth quarter. Backup quarterback Michael Stewart, with his first pass of the game, connected with Terry Ryder if a 56-yard toughdown jaunt for the final Chowan score. Wesley later scored on a touchdown pass from reserve quarterback Vince Ranalli to split end Bob Hemsley for its final tally. Garrison acknowleged that Mungin, his prize signal caller, “had another great day.” “When he ran the football, he attack ed their corners. He put pressure on the defensive secondary by running the op tion,” Garrison went on. Mungin’s four touchdown passes gave him II, for the season — a new Chowan school record. For the after noon, Mungin also tossed for 217 yards. Hal Henderson spearheaded the Chowan defense. The lanky 6-foot-3 freshman from Charleston collected 8 tackles, three sacks and a fumble recovery. By HARRY PICKETT Chowan ended its football season Nov. 11 with a 50-18 win over the Nassau Lions of New York in the third annual Goober Bowl game sponsored by the Hertford County Shrine Club. The Braves rolled up 570 yards total offense to move into second place behind champion Ferrum in the Coastal Conference, averaging over 40 points per contest, and well over 400 yards total offense. Head coach James Garrison reflec ting on the losses in his office after the Nassau contest, said he wished he could play Ferrum and Lees McRae again, but said the Nassau win was “a nice way to end up a season.” Sophomore quarterback Ben Mungin in his last game as a Brave, collected 253 yards total. Mungin lugged 13 times for 179 yards and passed for another 73. He tossed one touchdown, bringing his season total to 18, and rushed for his se cond of the season Over the last four games in which the Braves have averaged 43.3 points per game, Mungin has paved the way by averaging 225 total offensive yards a game and passing for eight touchdowns. Mungin engineered a six-play drive on Chowan’s first possession that went 58 yards to pay dirt. Percy Godette took a Mungin pitch and rambled down the right sidelines with 6:25 remaining in the first period. Chuck Amos’ PAT failed Lady Brave Spikers Finish Fast Chowan College’s women’s volleyball team warmed up for the regional tour nament sweepting a home tri-match against St. Augustine and Elizabeth Ci ty State Nov. 7 to extend its winning streak to three matches. Chowan’s record is 7-17. The Lady Braves began their three- game winning streak by beating St. An drews College, 13-15,15-11, 15^ Nov. 4. In the deciding game, Chowan aced nine serves to two for St. Andrews. Ac cording to Coach Janet Collins, Chowan turned in an “excellent job” on its bump-set-spike offense making only one error in 14 attempts. Chowan made its Parents’ Night a success by defeating St. Augustine, 15-7, 15-12, and EUzabeth City State, 15-11,8-15,15-5. In the first game against St. Augustine, Chowan attempted 25 serves with only four errors. Chowan aced eight serves to none for the visitors. In the second game, Chowan displayed “good hustle” and “excellent serving” to whip St. Augustine, Mrs. Collins noted. The win avenged an earlier loss to St. Augustine, which entered the match with a 17-3 record. Elizabeth City State provided stiffer competition, winning the second game before the Lady Braves bounced back to take the third game and the match. The deciding game “was almost a perfect offensive game,” Mrs. Collins said. Chowan starters in the Parents’ Night games were Jan McKay, Susan Whalen, Christy Johnson, Erin Spencer, Shema. Payne, and Georgia Ross. Mary Jane Parrish started the St. Andrews game in place of Whalen. ‘Big Play' Henderson Sparkles as Braves Scalp Westchester Amos later came on in the second quarter to put the Braves ahead 9-0 with a 20-yard field goal. But the lions struck back, too. Neal O’Mara returned Amos’ kickoff 95 yards to give the Lions striking distance at 9-7, and kicker Rick Ryan sent the New York team ahead with a field goal of his own from 30 yards — giving Nassau a 10-9 lead with 3:16 re maining in the half. Chowan came back with a score of their own. Fullback Tommy Jones bull ed his way in the end zone from two yards out to send the Braves ahead for good with his first touchdown of the season, 16-10. Chowan later scored with 54 seconds remaining when Mungin rambled from his own 36 on an option play and at the last remaining moment pitched to trail ing tailback Percy Godette at the Nassau 30. Forty-three seconds later Mungin found Godette again. This time the speedster was wide open in the end zone for the Mungin completion. The pass reception went for 17 yards, sending the Braves to a comfortable 29-10 halftune lead. Garrison credited the offensive line for the Braves’ potent offense in the game. He said that they were a “bunch of little guys” who did a super job. Chowan scored twice more in the third quarter on Vernon Morrison and Mungin runs to race ahead 43-10. Mungin flipped an option to Morrison after running 15 yards himself from his own 20. Morrison romped the other 65 yards for six. Mungin later scored on a keeper that covered 72 yards with 3:41 remaining in the quarter. Amos’ kick was good. Fullback Greg Franchuk put Nassau on the board in the early portion of the fourth quarter with a 3-yard run. A John Bergen 2-point reception made the score 43-18. Little 5-foot-7 flanker Jimmy Johnson nailed the head on the coffin with an 11- yard scamper for Chowan with just 29 seconds to go in the game. Mungin’s outstanding performance was followed by freshman Percy Godette who carried the ball 12 times for 105 yards and had 3 touchdowns. Morrison had 96 yards on three carries and a touchdown, and Jones bulled for 84 yards on 13 totes and a touchdown. “Its time to start thinking about another year,” Garrison said smilingly. Johnson Gets All-America Track Berth Johnny Johnson, an 18-year old freshman at Chowan College, has been selected as a member of the Adidas High School All-American Track team for 1978. Johnson, a 1978 Tarboro High School graduate, was the only North Caroli nian selected to this elite group which honors track standouts representing all 50 states. The Tarboro native was the 1978 North Carolina state triple jump cham pion. He also participated in the long jump and discus events, leading his high school to the state championship last spring. Johnson was selected to the AAU Junior Olympics held in Lincoln, Neb. last summer. He received a medal for placing fourth out of a field of 30 of the country’s finest triple jumpers. By HARRY PICKETT Hal Henderson seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Henderson, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound freshman from Charleston, SC, was the catalyst in Chowan’s 39-14 victory over Westchester Community College here on Oct. 28. Chowan upped its overall record to 5-2 and 3-2 in Coastal Conference foot ball play with the shellacking. The game was marred by injuries and slop py play by lx)th teams. Westchester, who had 10 fumbles, slipped to 1-6 and 0^- Henderson recovered three Viking fumbles, scoring one touchdown and setting up another, which led Brave head coach James Garrison to call his talented freshman end, “a big-play football player.” “He did a great job, and he caused a lot of things to happen,” Garrison boasted. Henderson caused things to happen very soon in the game. With 11:20 re maining in the first period, Billy Willows, the Viking starting quarter back, fumbled from his three-yard line and young Henderson pounced on it in the Viking end zone for six. The Braves scored 33 points in the first half. Henderson was responsible for the fourth score of the half when he stopped the only Westchester threat of the half. Westchester recovered a Chowan fumble at its 34 — rambled off seven plays down to the Chowan 15 — but fumbled. Henderson recovered the loose ball for the Braves.

Bobby Sears, the numt)er one man for Chowan, finished as a medalist in the junior col lege division with a two-day total score of 153. Eighteen teams participated at the Keith Fields Golf and Country Oub William B. Sowell coach of Chowan’s golf team reported. There were representatives from Division I and Division II, which are colleges and universities. Four junior college par ticipated. Keith Decker, of N.C. State Universi ty, was the medalist in Division I for the tournament and had a two-day total score of 148, according to Coach Sowell.

The junior college division was won by Sandhills Community College follow ed by Mt. Olive College. Chowan placed third while Louisburg College rounded out the division. Coach Sowell expressed disappoint ment with the freshman play and said all attention will now be given to the spring tournaments. Braves a commanding 27-0 lead with 5:40 remaining in the half. Late in the first period, Henderson recovered another Viking fumble that should have led to another Brave score, but a missed field goal by Andy Clark from 20 yards out halted that opportuni ty- Garrison seemed disappointed in his team’s kicking game and the lack of in tensity it displayed during the second half. The Braves didn’t convert on any extra-point conversions and missed a field goal as well. They were also held to only one touchdown in the second half. “Our kicking game has been inconsis tent — we haven’t been kicking well, the 21-year veteran coach confessed.” As for the lack of intensity from his players, Garrison explained: “We haven’t been playing with intensity since the Ferrum game. We didn’t play well at all.” Garrison credited the defensive players for their aggressive play, however. He said that they gave the of fense the ball because they capitalized on Westchester’s mistakes, “and it’s a good thing they did,” he added. Westchester opened the second half with an on-side kick, recovered it and drove from the Chowan 44. After its successful recovery, the Vik ings capped a 44-yard drive in seven plays when running back James Cabral went in for the score from one yard out. Kenneth May, a freshman from Durham blocked the PAT. Westchester mounted two long drives on its next two possessions, scoring once on a four-yard romp by Cabral with 12:16 remaining in the third period. A two-point conversion was good on a pass from Viking quarter back Mike Ryan to spUt end Mike McAuley to send the score to 33-14. After Henderson scored in the first period, Vernon Morrison scored on a counter play from 35 yards out to pay dirt. Backfield mate Mike Clark scor^ his fourth touchdown of the season in the second period from 21 yards out. After Mungin and Lococo connected for a scoring strike in the second period, Mike Stewart, a reserve quarterback came off the bench and sneaked across the goal line for six. Travis Baulware set up the score by recovering a Westchester fumble at the Viking three. The PAT was unsuc cessful and Chowan took a 33-0 halftime score into the dressing room. Chowan tallied once more. Jinuny Blaylock a freshman quarterback from Cary, came off the bench and dumped a pass over the center of the line to Deno White, a freshman from Jacksonville. The 6-foot-4 spUt end turned the comple tion into a 54-yard touchdown.
