Chowan’s Lonnie Mister completed
just four passes Saturday, but each
pass was for a touchdaown as the
Chowan Braves scalped Hudson Valley
60-14 in a Coastal Conference game.
Terry Ingram caught three of the TD
tosses, with Derrick Williams hauling
in the fourth TD pass.
Chowan’s offense enjoyed a day of
running and passing, collecting 566
yards total. While the passing attack
was clicking, the running game netted
354 yards and five touchdown jaunts, in
cluding a one yard plunge by Mister.
The Braves scored enough points in
the first quarter to hold off Hudson
Valley, picking up 19 points in the first
15 minutes of the contest.
The Braves scored four times, two by
airwaves and two on the ground before
Hudson Valley: Glenn Fohr hit John
Neis a with a 54 yard scoring strike in
the second quarter, Fohr went to Neis
again in the second quarter to score on
a seven yard TD pass, making the two
second quarter scores all Hudson
Valley would obtain in the game.
Terry Ingram hauled in touchdown
passes of 53, 27 and 58 yards and
Williams snagged a 10 yard touchdown
toss. Former Ahoskie runner Tim Har
rell scored on a 15 yard run, former
Bertie player Delno Jones scored on a
five yard run, Manteo’s Joe Holmes

blocked.
Mister was four out of five in the pass
ing department with no interceptions,
while Fohr was 13 out of 35 and threw
three interceptions.
Chowan scored first when Mister hit
Ingram on a 53 yard pass to make the
Harford Edges Braves
Harford, a team that had not lost a
conference game in the last two years
and was ranked second in the final
junior college poll last season, picked
up their 29 straight regular season win
against the Braves.
Harford's Carvell Tatuem scored two
touchdowns on short dives to lead Har
ford to the Coastal Conference win.
The Braves took an early 7-0 lead as
Wayne Brown bulled his way over from
the one in the first quarter.
Tatuem kept the Braves’ celebration
short lived as he knotted the score at 7-7
with a one yard plunge. Harford took a
10-7 lead late in the first quarter when

times, completed 12 of 26 passes for 213
yards.
Harford picked up the game winning
score with a third quarter drive, ending
with Tatuem going in from two yards
out to pick up his second touchdown.
The Braves had two chances to apply
pressure to Harford and possibly takp
the lead. With about nine minutes left in
the contest, the Braves fumbled at the
Harford 10 yard line. Mister was in
tercepted for the fourth time at the Har
ford 30 with about two minutes remain
ing in the game.

this time on a 27 yard pass to m«ike the
score 6-0. Ferrell’s PAT was good and
gave the Braves a 13-0 cushion. Mister
finished out the first quarter scoring
with a plunge from the one yard line.
Ferrell’s PAT was blocked and the
quarter ended with a Chowan in com
mand 19-0.
The Braves opened up the second
quarter the way they finished the first
quarter, with Tim Harrell going over
from 15 yards out to give Chowan a 26-0
lead.
Hudson Valley managed to put a
score on the board as Fohr hit Neis with
the the 54 yard TD toss Neis tacked the
PAT and Hudson Valley cut the Jeficit
to 26-7. The Braves answered the Hud
son Valley scores with two touchdowns

way in from the five. The two fourth

Stress Tests Predict
Athletic Injuries
Holmes led the Chowan ground attack
with 82 yards on 16 carries. Holmes
played his high school football down the
road at Manteo. Tatuem finished the
game with 22 carries for 79 yards in
leading the Harford ground attack.
Tim Harrell, a former Ahoskie High
player, retutned to the Chowan
backfield Saturday and gained 41 yards
on seven carries. However, Harrell’s
fumble at the 10 yard line stalled a
Chowan scoring threat.
The Braves picked up 104 yards on
the ground and added to the 213 yards
through the air the Braves had 317
yards total offense. Harford had just 53
yards through the air and 212 yards on
the ground for a total of 265 yards in
total offense.
Athletes who are under stress
because of problems or changes in their
lives are more likely to be hurt while
participating in sports than their team
mates, but some injuries might be
prevented by reducing that stress, ac
cording to a new study.
The study, conducted it the Universi
ty of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
compared the scores 86 UNC athletes
received last winter on questionnaires
designed to measure stress with their
record of injuries at the end of the spr
ing semester several months later.
"We found that the scores would
enable us to predict sucessfully the fre
quency of athletic injuries, but not the
severity of them,” said Richard Riel.
Riehl carried out the research as a
graduate student under the direction of
Dr. Charles Hardy, a sports
psychologist who is assistant professor
of physical education.
“This work supports and expands on
previous studies that had considered
only male football players,” Riehl said.
The UNC project examined for the
first time both men and women
athletes, ages 17 to 22, who participated
in the non-contact sports baseball, soft
ball, track and tennis.
A 72-item questionnaire known as the
Athletic Life Experience Survey,
modified slightly because the subjects
still were competing, was used to deter
mine stress levels, he said. The athletes
were asked to rate the effects of events
in their lives—everything from the
death of a loved one to praise from the
coach—as ranging from extremely
negative to extremely positive on a
seven point scale.
Thirty-one athletes were treated later
for one or more injuries resulting in lost
playing time during the spring
semester, Riehl said.
The scores women and track
athletes of either sex were especially
predictive of injury.

Chowan’s women’s volleyball team,
which narrowly missed going to the na
tional tournament last season, started
this season off with a bang.
Coach Janet Collins’ team posted a
4-0 record at Longwood College in a
multi-team event. All the teams the
Lady Braves defeated were four year
NCAA Division III schools.
Collins says she is having trouble fin
ding junior colleges which will schedule
the l>ady Braves. After beginning the
season 4-0 against the Division 111
schools, one suspects why the junior
colleges won’t play the l^dy Braves.
The Chowan volleyballers took a
match from Roanoke 2-0, downing the
Roanoke team 15-2,15-6.
The I^ady Braves then took on rival
Ferrum (now a four year school) and
won the match 2-1. Chowan took the
opening game 15-5, Ferrum won the se
cond game 15-9 and Chowan won the
rubber game for the match 15-3.
Host Longwood College dropped two
matches to the I^dy Braves. Chowan
took the first match 2-0, with 15-9 and
15-4 wins. Longwood again felt the sting
of the l>ady Braves as the Chowan team
took the match 2-0 by way of 15-5 and
15-8 games.
The next home match is Oct.l against
Norfolk State and Hampton Institute,
with the matches beginning at 6:30 p.m.

little easier for an athlete to cope with
stresses than the individual sports do,
although that’s speculation,” he said.
“We don’t know why women’s scores
were more predictive of injuries than
men’s.”
Riehl, who is now an athletic trainer,
said that with a lot more work, it might
be possible one day for psychologists to
design tests that could be given to all
athletes from high school to the profes
sional level.
“This wouldn’t be foolproof, of
course, but it would be nice to have at
least an idea of who has high stress
fcvels and is more likely to get hurt,” he
said. “Then perhaps we could put them
through some sort of stress manage
ment program and hopefully prevent
some injuries.”
Hardy and Riehl plan to publish a
paper on the findings in a sports
medicine journal sometime next year.
