November 1, 1984 Eagles Remain Unbeaten. 14-6 Mike Tripp Player of the Week I Mike Tripp #3 West Craven’s Senior cornerback Mike Tripp had the kind of game defensive backs dream about, picking off four White Oak passes, while leading the Eagles to their eighth win of the season. Tripp, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Tripp, P.O. Box 583, Vanceboro, was all over the field against the Vikings. The 5-11, 165 lb. defender has excellent quickness and good defensive instincts to compliment a pair of hands that any wide receiver would be proud of. The four interceptions are a school record for West Craven. The fourth interception coming on the game's final play. Four interceptions would be season total for most people, to pick off four in one game is incredible. You would think the White Oak Quarterback would have learned not to throw the ball near Tripp after a while, but fortunately for Tripp and the Eagles he didn't. I’m sure that the D.H. Conley Quarterback will be told all week to keep an eye out for Mike Tripp, West Craven player of the week. West Craven’s Eagles came out in the first period against White Oak and scored two touchdowns over a span of 18 seconds and then held on for their eighth win of the season. The win over White Oak put the Eagles in ah excellent position as the front runner in the Coastal 3-A conference race. On the games first possession White Oak drove deep into West Craven territory behind the strong running of halfback Bobby Ray. The drive stalled on the Eagle - thirteen yard line, and the Eagle s quickly marched 87 yards for the game's first touchdown. The score coming on a 19 yard pass from Randy Elks to Jessie Campbeil. The extra point was good and WC led 7-0. On the ensuing kick-off the Eagles gambled and won, recovering an on-sides kick on the Viking 49 yard line. Three plays later Junior Running Back Mickey Rasberry stepped away from two White Oak Defenders at^ scampered 27 yards for a 14-0 lead with 2:48 to go in the first period. From this point on the game turned into a defensive struggle as only six points would be scored over the final three periods. The Eagles defense was sparked by a sensational performance of Senior Cornerback Mike Tripp. Tripp intercepted four Viking passes on the night. Offensively the Eagles were again ied by the timely passing of Eiks and the siashing runs of Campbell. For the night Campbell rushed for 120 yards on 15 carries, and caught two passes for 40 yards and one touchdown. The win gave the Eagles a 3- 0 conference record and at least a one game lead over all the other teams in the conference. West Craven’s next opponent is D.H.
