Page 6—Smoke Signals, Friday, November 18, 1983 Braves Rout Ferrum By Jerry Sutton For the most part, players from both teams had already retir^ to the dress ing rooms. A few stayed on the field to talk with friends and families. The sun was slowly disappearing in the West. The scorebwrd told the story for all to see. Chowan 27 Ferrum 7. Coach Jim Garrison slowly made his way toward the dressing room. Along the way, well-wisher came up to say congratulations. The Brave mentor ac cepted them for the team. It was a team effort. Garrison was quick to give praise. “Baynard played a great football game. He ran the offense well. He ran well himself and threw exceptionally well considering having one of his touchdown passes called back,” stated Coach Jim Garrison. It was Homecoming for the Braves Saturday, October 8. They defeated the Panthers of Ferrum College. The bleachers were filled with screaming supporters from both schools.The weather was perfect for football as each respected team came into Brave Stadium ready for the start of the game. When asked atx>ut any special preparations for the game. Coach Gar rison said, “We had a ultra-simple game plan. We took three-fourths of the plays out of our play book and said that’s not part of the scheme this week. We ran sa basic offensive running plays and about four passing plays.” “We were going to make it simple because we knew the three or four defenses they ran. We were going to get it all down against that, then do or die with it and that’s just what we did.” Bobcats Beaten In Season Finale By Jerry Sutton “Miles is a great football player and was a great football player in Grasonville, Maryland at Queen Anne’s high school, where he ran tailback. He’s a lot smaller than the other backs on the team, but he’s had some good practices and hung in there with it. He got his opportunity to show it today. He’s going to be great running back for us”, added Coach Garrison. The blue and white clad Braves and the green^old Bobcats matched up well on paper. But football games are not won on paper. They are won on the field. Chowan won and won big. The 41-14 win was their largest point pro duction of the season. With just 3:63 already out of the first quarter the Braves got on the scoreboard. Quarterback Anthony Baynard threw a touchddwn pass to flanker Marlon Leach, who fought off FINAL GAME LEES STATISTICS: CHOWAN McRae First Downs 20 14 Rushing Yards 296 320 Passing Yards 155 23 Total Offense 451 343 Penalties 9/75 yds 8/96 yds Turnovers 3/2 4/4 WHOEVER HEARD OF REGISTRATION TAKING FIVE MINUTES?

Then following that touchdown the Lees McRae team got an 75 yard touchdown run from running back William Jackson. After fumbles made by Lees McRae team, the Braves got on the scoreboard again. Quarterback An thony Baynard threw another pass to tight end Anthony Hill for a touchdown. The Braves scored again early in the second quarter as reserve running back Miles Gray came into the game and scored on a 7 yard touchdown run. Later on in the same quarter the Braves scored again. Quarterback Anthony Baynard hit tight end Anthony Hill again for another touchdown. After Lees McRae’s constant struggle on offense, the Braves offense took the ball and scored again. To cap off a great first half quarterback Anthony Baynard threw a 40 yard touchdown pass to Marlon Leach as the first half ended. Third quarter proved to be scoreless but the fourth quarter two final scores were made. Following a Marcellus Dobson fumble recovery, the Braves scored again on another Miles Gray touchdown run. Around this time the Lees McRae team had no traces of winning the game but still played strongly enough to get a touchdown before the game had ended. Miles Gray, who had 171 yards rushing, was Milton’s Player of the Game. The Defensive Player of Game was team captain Paul Smith. When asked, “What’s ahead for the Braves”, Coach Garrison said, “Hartford beat us early in the year but we still got a outside chance to win the conference or even tying for it and could host the East Bowl Game”. If the person who stole the jacket from my office will bring it back, I will give them the money to buy a new one. WiUiamB.

Paul Newman? Coaches Come Calling The first quarter was filled with ex citement and hard hitting. It would con tinue all through the game. In the late seconds of the first quarter the Braves scored on a touchdown run from tailback Eddie McDuffie. As the second quarter began, the Braves punted to Ferrum. Starting from his forty-six yard line, Marcus Trammell ran the kick back for a touchdown. Later on in the quarter the Braves would come back with two touchdowns of their own. The first of the two touchdowns came on pass from Baynard to flanker Marlon Leach tor an seventy-two yard touchdown. Following a turnover by Ferrum, Baynard hit tight end Anthony Hill. There was hard hitting from both teams until the late minutes of the third quarter when Baynard scored behind his offensive line. The score was twenty-seven to seven. It is a known fact that word of moutti is a good advertising tool. Better yet is a first class operation to attract at tention. That is what Coach Bob Burke has on center court at Helms Center. Last year’s national ranking helped draw attention to the Brave basketball program. That attention is still high this year. During the Fall, some 81 coaches and- or assistants from NCAA Division I schools have been on campus to look at prospective recruits. “They know we have a good program,” says Coach Bob Burke. Recently, Coach Jim Valvano from defending National Champions N.C. State, was on campus. “Maybe not this year, but next year looks good for us,” commented Coach Valvano when asked about State’s chances of repeating as NCAA Champions. Within days of Coach V’s visit, another mentor from Tobacco Road made a trip to Murfreesboro. Coach Bill Foster and Assistant Coach Clint Bryant from Clemson came calling. So when you’re around Helms Center don’t be too surprised if you see the likes of Dean, Lefty, or Digger looking at the Braves. % ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ f ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A Public Sfrvice of This Newspaper & The AJveriisinji Council CHOWAN COLLEGE 1983-84 Basketball Schedu’e Date Ogponent Time November 16 Richard BUnd College Chowan 7:30 PM 18-19 Hagerstown Classic (Merce"" CC Baltimore CC, Hagerstown JC) Hagerstown, MD 7-9 PM 26 i^Univ 0/ So>uth Carolina JV Columbla .
