Quakers Have Fantastic Finish
By Doug Drotman
The ending of the Quakers'
final game was a fitting conclu
sion to a game that nevertheless
would be an emotional event, for
it was the final game for 15
seniors. With 06 seconds remain
ing in the game, kicker Bryan
Wilson split the uprights with a
38-yard field goal to give the
Quakers a 22-21 come-from
behind victory over the Concord
College Mountain Lions. The play
that led to Wilson's field goal was
probably one of the oddest plays
that I have ever seen.
With a fourth down at their own
47 yard line and 15 seconds on the
clock the Concord coaches made
an odd call.
Instead of running a play and
giving the Quakers the ball at
midfield, Concord decided to punt
the ball to the Quakers. If Con
cord were to run a play, it would
have meant the Quakers would
have to go about 30 yards, and
stop the clock to set up a field
goal in one play.
The snap from center Wade
Lopez to punter John Mann was
high and before Mann could get
off the punt he was swarmed
upon by five Quakers at the 20
yard line.
From that point, with the
crowd on their feet, Center Joel
Snodgrass, holder John Mon
tgomery and kicker Bryan
Wilson executed the field goal. A
mobbed field was the answer to
the question if the fieldgoal was
good.
Although the day ended on a
glory note for the kicking unit,

their entire day was not glorious.
After Charlie Heard (18-142)
broke off a 50 yard run and Billy
Holland (6-36) rambled for 12
more, the Quakers thought of set
tling for a 31 yard field goal. After
a bad snap, Wilson was buried for
a 15 yard loss.
The Quakers backed Concord
deep into their own end when
Jesse James got off a 58 yard
punt that landed on the Concord 6
yard line.
After stopping Concord cold,
the Quakers took over in fine field
position. The Charlie Heard show
continued when he broke off runs
of 21, 15, and 8 yards to drive the
Quakers inside of the five yard
line.
From there quarterback Earl
Clinton (12-29-176) hit Reggie
Peace (2-14) with a four yard
strike to put the Quakers ahead.
Although Heard did have a
spectacular day, it was not all
roses popping up. On a first down
from their own 20 yard line Heard
fumbled a bad pitch from Clinton
to give Concord great field posi
tion.
On their first play, quarterback
Mark Ryhanych threw 26 yards
to Ed Zappi for a touchdown at
11:43 of the second quarter.
The next 10 minutes of the half
saw the defenses battle and come
up with big plays. Scott O'Kelley,
Charles Kepley and Tom
Shahady were very instrumental
in the strong defensive stands.
With only 1:07 remaining in the
half the Mountain Lions pulled off
a big play. Aided by a 15 yard
roughing penalty, the Mountain
Guilford College Quakers play to the finish
Lions scored when Ryhanych hit
Henry Sepherd with a 27 yard
pass and a 14-7 lead.
Kicker Bryan Wilson's pro
blems continued when late in the
third quarter he was wide on a 29
yard field goal attempt.
The Quakers got a big break
when Kepley recovered a John
Mann fumble 16 yards from
paydirt. From there Clinton hit
Tight end Buddy Halbert (5-83)
with a 13 yard scoring play.
Coach Forbes then called a
smart play. In electing to go for

the 2-point conversion Forbes
was being aggressive. Although
Heard was stopped for no gain
the team knew that Forbes was
playing to win.
The Mountain Lions put their
final points on the scoreboard in
their first sustained drive of the
afternoon. They drove 62 yards
on six plays, and scored when
Ryhanych hit Frank Baker with a
24 yard pass. The Mountain Lions
now owned a 21-13 lead with
under ten minutes to play.
With their backs to the wall and
each scoring one goal.
The team will play Salem away
next Friday. Sunday Guilco lost
in a tough game away at Duke.
The inability to get a consistent
offensive attack and defensive
cooperation plus poor field,
weather and ref conditions led to
the Quaker defeat.
8:10 remaining to play, the
Quakers realized that it was now
or never. They proceeded to drive
four different receivers including
a 32-yard pass to Greg Weaver
(2-47) and a six yard touchdown
pass to Halbert. The 2-point con
version was no good and the
Quakers trailed 21-19.
The stage was then set for a
play that Quakers fans will long
remember. It was also a
memorable finale for those 15
seniors.
Mary Benbow played an
outstanding game stopping all
but one of 21 shots on goal. The
coaching staff (Willie Flash,
Steve Rubenstein, Chris Darnell)
felt that Sundays game will give
Guilco plenty to polish up on in
preparation for the tournament
Guilford will be hosting to
Charlotte Stingers,
U.N.C—Chapel Hill and
Greensboro Rhino club. See you
at Soccer Sunday!!!
