pass of the night.
Things were all Edenton
after the goalline stand. On
their first two possessions,
the Vikings rolled up 79
yards total offense and
scored their only touch
down. Tailback Scott
Grimes, who led Plymouth
with 53 yards on 16 carries
sprinted six yards around
his left end for the first score
with 4:44 left in the first
period. Brady Pinner’s
conversion kick gave the
Vikings a 7-0 lead. After
McNair’s interception,
Plymouth moved to the
Edenton nine in just three
plays. Then, things changed
dramatically.
The Edenton offense,
which netted just nine yards
in the first quarto*, followed
the running of Shields on a
94-yard march capped by
Drew’s 2-yard TD plunge.
Drew added a 2-point run,
giving the Aces an 8-7
halftime pad. Shields
carried four times for 52
yards in the drive and
picked up first downs three
times with runs of 14,14 and
22 yards. The 12-play drive
seemed to take the wind out
of the Plymouth team.

September has been
designated as Senior
Veterans Month throjjghout

joint announcement today
by Ken McDonald, Director
of the Veterans Ad
ministration Regional Of

Governor Jim Hunt.
McDonald said that
although many older
veterans, widows and their
dependent children are
receiving VA benefits,
others may not be receiving
assistance because they are
not aware of its availability
to them. “Hiis month we
will be conducting special
outreach efforts to locate
and offer help to them,” he
said.
Generally, a veteran is
eligible for pension if he had
90 days or more honorable
wartime service (unless
separated earlier for ser
vice incurred disability), is
65 or over or permanently
and totally disabled at a
younger age, and his income
is within the limits
prescribed by law. These
income limits are $3,770
annually for a veteran
without dependents or $5,070
for a veteran with depen
dents. Ten per cent of Social
Security or other retirement
benefits and certain medical
expenses will be excluded
by the VA in computing
The Edenton defense
yielded just 57 yards in the
final three periods while the
offense rolled to 211 yards
rushing.
Boyce tackled Plymouth’s
Ed Lucas in the endzone to
boost the Aces’ lead to 10-7
midway the final quarter
and set up Drew’s final TD
jaunt. Plymouth was bottled
up at their own one yardline
following a 45-yard punt by
Martin Cross.
Drew broke up the middle
and shook off three would-be
tacklers en route to the final
points on a fourth down and

Plymouth on its own half of

The loss overshadowed a
brilliant performance by the
Vikings’ Grimes who is
taking up the slack left by
injured Plymouth star Guy
Waters. Grimes punted

As an ESEA Parent

Widows and children of
veterans are eligible if the
veteran had the required
military service, and if then
incomes fall within

The amounts payable to
veterans or widows is based
on their income, with ad
ditional amounts to those
who are patients in nursing
homes, who are over 78
years old, who need con

because of their health, or
who are housebound.
“We have not forgotten
the admirable manner in
which these veterans served
their country and want to
help them get the benefits
they have earned,”. Mc-
Donald said. He urged those
who feel they may be

Aces yielded only as seven
points and 136 yardflptotiift
offense to the Viking* in the
conference opener for both
squads. Number two, the
Aces have a potent running
attack.
“Defensively, we played a
really super ballgame,”
Addision said after the upset
victory. “We were very,
agressive and mentally!
alert.”
The Aces’ defense gave up
79 yards and a touchdown to
Plymouth on the visitors’
first two turns with the
football. But a goalline
stand on the Edenton four
yardline at the end of the
first quarter seen to kill
Plymouth’s momentum and
spark the dormant Aces’
offense.
Junior Guard Blake Boyce
led the Edenton defense in
holding Plymouth, a team
averaging over 20 points a
game, to just 57 yards
rushing and passing during
the final three periods. The
Vikings never crossed the 50
yardline after the first
quarter. j
Boyce ran the Edenton
advance to 10-7 with a fourth
quarter safety as he knifed
through to drop Plymouth’s
Ed Lucas in the endzone.
Jimmy Addison, the
coach’s son, picked off a
Viking pass as he teamed
with Earthan Ward to shut
off the Viking passing attack.
Against the run, Martin
Cross, Worth Rinehart,
Sidney Ward and Clyde
Leary helped limit
Plymouth to a mere 15
yards rushing in the final
half.
Fullback Henry Drew
(119)andQuarterback Bobby
Shields (71 yards) showed
that the Aces can run inside
and outside as they paced
the Edenton ground game to
220 yards over land. Drew
scored both Edenton TDs on
runs of two and 34 yards.
“We had one good drive.
We made one mistake, but
recovered our own fumble.
I wasn’t sure we could
sustain a drive on offense,”
Addison said.
“Shields was in for the
first time as a varsity
starter. Under the cir
cumstances, he showed a lot
of poise. He has more
potential than he showed
tonight.”
Shields hit just one of nine
passing attempts and twice
overthrew wide open
targets, but no one was
complaining about his run
ning. He sparked the 94-yard
drive which put the Aces
ahead at halftime, 8-7.
Jim Voigt, Ned Yount,
Cross, Lewis Carter, Tim
Copeland, and Pat Webster
provided somegiantholes for
Drew and Shields.
Plymouth coach Mac
Allen was not making ex
cuses for the loss despite
being without thq sprvices of
his two-way standout Guy
Waters who missed the
game because qf a shoulder
seperation.
“We just got outfought.
They came off the ball much
better, much more
aggressively,” Allen ex
plained. “That could have
been the difference in the
game.”
“We were ahead 7-0 and
had the ball at their five. If
we’d scored then, it’s 14-0
and probably a different
story.
“Then, we fumbled the
first snap of the second half
and never got out of the hole.
We hurt ourselves with
penalties, obviously. We
looked flat and we can’t
afford to be that way.”
He had only praise for
tailback-defensive back
Scott Grimes who carried
the brunt of the Viking at
tack in the absence of
Waters.
“Edenton is a better
ballclub than people want to
think they are from the
scores. They’ve played
some really tough people.”
