Defense, Kenan Shine 42-13
by Steve Beck
(EMORY, Va.) It was
Parents Night last Saturday
night when Emory and Henry
hosted Guilford. After the
Quakers stormed to a 32-14
win, most of the E&H parents
must have been thinking,
"No, that's not for me or my
children."
It was a game in which
almost everything went right
for the Quakers, almost that
is. The Wasps returned two
kickoffs for scores and those
two runs just might be the
only two plays in the Emory
highlight film for next year.
The losers are 0-3 on the year.
As well as the Quakers
played however, their first
lead came with only 0:52 left
in the third quarter. After that
it was a different story. But
that was no fault of the
Guilford defensive eleven.
Statistics often can be
misleading, but not in this
case. Check this out, two E&H
first downs (zip in the second
half) and only 51 yards total
offense after being held to
minus yard during the first
two period. And that's only
half the story.
The other half was the
running of tailback Reggie
Kenan. While he may be
listed as number 22 in the
program, his jersey read Hello
and Goodbye to the Wasp
defenders. The Wallace, N.C.
junior racked up 175 yards,
124 of those coming in the first
half.
True, Kenan ran great, but
he didn't do it alone. Fullback
Billy Whitley's blocks were as
Slippery Season's Start for Soccer Team
by Aubrey Doggett
This year's soccer team has
a new coach; Ray Alley. He
brings with him impressive
credentials from his successes
at High Point College. In his
office today he had the
following comments to share:
"Guilford College has made
a firm commitment to soccer
by hiring a full time coach."
The school now has the
services of a coach whose 3
year tenure at H.P.C. turned
the program around from 1-11
his first year to 11-1-2 last year
and the conference title.
His season last year was
highlighted by a win over
previously invincible Belmont
Abbey. Coach Alley was

beautiful as Reggie's runs. So
was the reading of the defense
by quarterback's Joe Osborne
and Butch Foley which shook
Kenan loose on the option
play. Equally impressive was
the play of the offensive line.
Most games are won in the
line and this game was no
exception. Led by All-Ameri
can candidate Steve Muslin,
other members of the
offensive line are Mike
O'Reilly, Lynn Reavis, Sammy
Wishon, John Eder and Benny
Holcomb. Much of the credit
for Guilford's 455 offensive
yards goes to these gentle
men.
The game left the Emory
coaching staff shaking the
heads. Three plays and a punt
was the story of the game for
the Wasps. That was due to
the defensive heroics of A 1
Patterson, Cliff Hunsucker,
Charlie Swann and Bunky
James only to mention a few.
Most of the fans had just
settled down into their seats
when Ron Mabry took in big
Mike McClune's kickoff on the
seven yard line and raced up
the middle of the field
untouched for the score. The
play took twelve seconds.
Following the kickoff, Guil
ford moved from the 40 to the
Wasp 14 but failed on a fourth
and 5 from there. Concord
punted and Guilford was set to
go this time. A six yard pass
from Osborne to Chris
Paphities capped a 74 yard
drive. Foley kicked the point
after and with 6:20 left the
score was 7-7 and Kenan was
already approaching the 100
named Coach of the Year in
both conference and district 26
in tennis and soccer. He was
named national coach of the
year in tennis (NAIA).
Regarding projections, Al
ley responded: "I hope to be
competitive for the conference
championship this and within
(he next three seasons, 1 hope
to be competitive on a national
level which is accomplished by
means of winning the district
and area championships,
thereby earning a top ten
Southern ranking." One can
look in his eyes and realize
that he is dead serious on
these realistic goals.
The subject of the transition
from H.P.C. to G.C., Alley
continued, "Guilford has been

yard mark.
The Quakers moved close
near the end of the half but
stalled at the E&H 11-yard
line. Foley came in to attempt
a 26-yard field goal but the
kick was wide left.
There was some confusion
to start the second half.
Instead of receiving the
kickoff, Guilford had to kickoff
meaning that they kicked to
start both halves. Added to
that was a 15 yard penalty
from the last play of the first
half. Confusing? McClune's
kick went out of bounds, so
another five yards were
walked off back to the 20.
Finally Emory's Kermit Croc
kett took the ball on the 22 and
this time he ran untouched for
the score. With 14:49 left in
the third Guilford was down
14-7.
With 7:03 left in the same
period Foley replaced Osborne
at the QB slot and the Quakers
acquired a spark that set them
on fire. Taking over at the 21,
Foley lead the Quakers on a
perfectly engineered touch
down drive. When Butch
stepped over from the two
there was 0:52 left in the
quarter. Reggie Kenan scored
a two-point conversion and
Guilford had it's first lead at
15-14. Foley passed for 59
yards in the 79 yard drive.
The Wasps punted and
Foley had the Quakes moving
again. This time Guilford
moved 80 yards in only 7 days
as Whitley scored this time
from the two. Again Foley's
passing arm was red-hot as he
hit for 58 yards in drive. It was
a big adjustment. I have tried
to instill a positive approach tc
this season and the future.
People need to believe in each
other and believe they can be
successful." Following a
season opener (loss to G.C.
5-4), moral has been low and
emphasis in this area has been
a prime consideration in
preparation for Belmont
Abbey this week.
Speaking of personnel,
"We've got some talented
players on the team this yeat
and have some others who
don't have good skills, but
have worked hard. If we can'
combine this with a good
attitude we can have a
successful season this year.
My biggest disappointment
will continue until Nov. 4. The
state "B" tournament will be
held at UNC-Catawba Nov.

then 22-14 Guilford.
Again Emory punted and
again Guilford scored. This
time the drive fell short at the
30 so Foley tied up his shoe
and kicked a 47 yard field,
which ties the second longest
kick in Guilford history.
Needless to say Foley
played one hell of a game. He
scored five points, passed for
131 yards on five of six passes,
and picked up the Quaker
offense when it seemed to lose
it's punch.
After the field goal both
teams replaced their starters.
Keith Taylor came off the
bench to score from the one
with 2:00 left but by that time
the issue was already settled.

has been a lack of leadership
from within the team, and a
lack of positive emotion with
the effort we get."
There are only three seniors
on this year's team, and three
juniors. The majority of the
team is comprised of freshmen
who lack the experience to fill
the void. These are problems
that soon will be ironed out as
the season matures.
For this year, Alley's
concerns are "to be competi

championships through con
sistent performances against

Atlantic Christian and High
Point. Those are the first steps
and if we can be competitive
against these teams the effort
will carry over into the other
matches."
Guilford has two home
matches this week.
