Eric Locklear
Pitches
No Hitter
? 2 . !
by David Malcolm
Harford- Between innings
he could be seen sitting
against the fence just outside
the dugout. Away from the
chatter for a few minutes,
perhaps, but only for a little
while because Eric Locklear
did what most pitchers only
dream of, he threw a no
hitter as Pembroke High
defeated Hoke County 2-1
Tuesday afternoon.
The only serious trouble
Locklear faced was in die first
inning when three infield
errors and a fielder's choice
allowed Hoke to take a
1-0 lead. After that, Locklear
was nearly flawless as he won
his first start of the year.
A walk to Tony Barefoot in
the third inning and
another to Kenny Friarson in
the fifth were the only times
Locklear allowed the Bucks
base runners after the opening
inning. After a shaky start,
Pembroke's defense came
through,and helped preserve
Locklear's gem.
It looked as though the
Warriors would get out to an
early lead as Anthony Lock
lear singled and Devy Bell
followed with a double down
the left field line. Coach
Ronnie Chavis waved Lock
lear around third, but he
couldn't out run a perfect
relay from the outfield and
was tagged at the plate by
Hoke's William Locklear.
Catcher Eric G. Locklear
reached first base in the
second inning on an error by
the Hoke County shortstop.
Running for Locklear, Benny
Demery stole second base and
Went to third on a bad throw
by the catcher. Demery later
scored on a perfect sacrifice
bunt by left fielder Cleo
Locklear to tie the game a 1-1.
The game remained tied
until the top of the fifth
inning.
With two out. Lee McRae
sliced a single to center field.
Hoke's Kenny Friarson mo
mentarily bobbled the ball
and quickly McRae advanced
to second base. Timothy
Carter slammed a ground
?? J LI- *L. -J.Ua
fielders head, driving in
McRae, and Pembroke had a
2-1 lead.
While the Warriors were
able to get baserunners in
scoring position in the sixth
and seventh innings but not
bring them in. Hoke County
found itself all buj completely
shackled by Eriq Locklear's
pitching. After giving up the
walk to Friarson, jin the Fifth,
Locklear retired j the
next nine batters! in a row.
In leading the Warriors to
their fourth wii in eight
games, Locklear struck out
dure and walked: two. Timo
thy Carter paced Pembroke in
the hitting department with a
double, single arid the game
winning RBI in four times-a
bat. Devy Bell Was l-for-2
with a double, j

Pembroke
M Springs-The Pembroke
Warriori were downed by Bed
Springs, 3-2, in non- confe
rence action Inst Friday by a
last inning spurt which saw
the Bed Devils overcome a 2-0
deficit in the bottom of the
seventh inning.
Steve Cummings and UeVy
Bell both had two hits each as
the Warriors out hit their hosts
9-5, but it wasn't enough.
Pembroke got the chance to
draw first blood in the third
inning, but a base running
error cost the Warriors a
potentially big inning. With
one out, Pembroke's Timothy
Carter drew a walk. The nest
batter, third baseman Antho
ny Locklear, sliced a double
into the gap in left-centerfield
scoring Carter from first. It
was ruled, however, that
Carter hadn't tagged second
base and he was called out.
The next batter struck out and
the rally died.
In the fifth inning, the
Warriors broke the scoreless
deadlock. Timothy Carter hit
- an ^?sr-r c
a two-out triple off tho?
rightfield fence, and score*
on Anthony Locbear's hot
smash by the Red Springs
first baseman.
Pembroke got its second^
run in the sixth when the Red
Devil shortstop couldn't get*
the handle on a CleO Lock 1 tar
grounder that allowed Devy
Bell, who had singled, to
score.
The Warriors saw their
two run lead wither in the
bottom of the 7th. Pitcher
Perry Strickland, who had
blanked Red Springs on four
scattered hits through 6 in
nings, walked the first two
batters. A single scored one
run and the Red Devils got
their second on a sacrifice fly..
That sacrifice also moved a
runner to third base, and he
scored the game winning run
when the throw on G-Bounds'
grounder to third got away
from catcher Eric G. Locklear.
The loss, Pembroke's sec
ond in a row, dropped the
Warriors' record to 3-4.

PHILOSOPHIZING -
by Lew Barton
In ancient Roma, snails wars raisad on ranches. They ware
fad with spicy soups to preseason them for the table.
YOU WANT TO BE A
GENIUS? YOU CAN HAVE
IT! ITS NO GOOD!
Sometimes when people
uk me whet's my I.Q., I reply
quietly that I've scored as
high as 180.
Very quietly because a
score like that can prejudice
people against you. And.
there's no prejudice as painful
as that experienced by the so
called gifted. No other form of
social isolation is quite as
complete.
So I change the subject as
quickly as possible. The per
son inquiring usually assumes
he or she hasn't heard me
correctly. And so the con
versation can continue on a
person-to-person level, the
way I want it to.
I've never scored all I
possibly could on an I.Q. test.
I simply pass over the sub
jects 1 don't like, such as
math. Scoring too high will
cause people to make un
reasonable demands of you,
and sometimes impossible
ones, too. Why hand them the
license to do that to you?
I talk down. I dress down. I
live down. I write down. I just
want to be like other people. I
don't want to be thought
"better" than anyone else in
any sense of the word super
iority, because I'm not. I want
people to accept me on human
terms and human grounds,
' and I'll go a long, long way to
demonstrate my humanity for
them.
Especially qualified, at the
employed office, means over
qualified. And these are the
hardest-to-place people of all.
Most employers are looking
for plodders, people who can
stand in one spot and turn one
bolt on the assembly line all
day long without being dis
tracted by *T>ther interests.
I'm not a plodder, believe
me. People seem to feel
threatened by my participa
tion in anything. It's stupid.
It's insane. And it's very
unfair to me. But people
somehow get the idea that if
they work with me, I will
somehow show them up. They
vdon't know, like 1, that I'm
the most over-rated
guy in these-here parts.
All my life, I've had to work
like hell to achieve what I
wanted to achieve. And even
then, I missed my goal more
often than not. But I don't
mind working hard, not if
something really intrigues
me, and I have the patience of
a robot. I can go over the
work, and hone it, and re-do
it, and throw it all away, and
then do it the way it should
have been done in the begin
ning.
Genius is 99% hard work
and 1% genius.
Don't envy Me. 1 get great
ideas only by thing the
subject matter through, by
praying about it, by satur
ating my subconscious as well
as my conscious mind with it, I
if it k imnnrtant pnnnoh tn I
-? ?? BW Biaa^VB VBIWVH0IB ?v
me.
Oh I've had some strange
complaints in my time.
"Listen." a publisher once
told me. "you're making my
editor look bad. Can't you
tone it down a bit?"
He was referring only to the
quality of my work. '
One year during my short
teaching career, both the
principal and 1 produced high
.school programs to help raise
money for certain school ne
cessities.
'I My kids and I wrote our
Own high school play and
produced it. h was a huge
success, and 1 was just be
ginning to bask in the glory of
that success when the jealous
principal fired me.
Experiences like that
should have taught me never
to do my best becaus/we are
living in a mediocre world that
will only accept and applaud
mediocrity. But I have never
learned that lesson well.
Maybe that's because I still
remember what the late Mrs.
Elizabeth Oxendine Maynor
taught me in the fourth grade:
"Do the best you can wher
ever you are. whatever you
may do." Also. "Do the best
you can with what you have."
I guess I'm the only fool
who went through high school
without owning or renting a
textbook. But if you lived
through the Great Depression
as I did. you'll understand
why.
How did I do that? I
borrowed books, or traded
help for the use of them. And
1 read practically every book
in the Prospect library.
Easy? Only a fool would
assume that it was.

Ever Green Chuck
by Mrs. Leacie Brooks
The subject lor Sunday's
lesson was taken from Then
salonians, 3rd chapter.
"Standing fast is the Lord."
The second chapter at First
ThessakMtians should be con
sidered as a literary unit. Ail
the verses concern Timothy's
visit to ThesaaIonics. In verse
1-5 we see what moved Paul
to send Timothy to Thessalon
ica. In verses 6-10 we see the
comfort Paul gained from
Timothy's report. Finally, in
verses 11-13, we get a glimp
se of the comfort offered Paul
by Timothy's report. The
entire chapter shows Paul's,
concern for the Thessalonians
in their standing fast in the
Lord.
Paul's concern for the Thes
salonians has become unbear
able in his absence from
them. He had to do something
about it. The words he chose
to express his anxiety but for
the moment; he had to
conceal it and bear up against
it.
The apostle had chosen to
remain in Athens and, as our
Bible describes it, he
"Thought it good" to do so.
But we know from the original
language of the Bible that
Paul actually considered him
self to have been left behind,
abandoned, orphaned. It was
not easy for Paul to suffer the
absence of his beloved com
panion and helper. Timothy,
while he was left alone in the
wicked city of Athens. But
since it was necessary for
someone to visit the Chris
tians in Thessalonica, Paul
sent Timothy to establish and
comfort the Thessalonians.
Rev. Edmond Locklear
preached a wonderful sermon
taken from Hebrews 4th chap
ter. The subject being "No
Time to Rest".

Frpm time to time we
h?ar a Christie* my. "I just
can't make it. It's loo hard to
live the Christiaa Me. My
problems are more then I can
bear."
We do face situations that
are more than we can hamaa
ly handle. For e^mpie, when
misfortune strikes and an
injured father can no loafer
support his family, to him the
cares of life can easily become
unbearable. Or take a family
who has lost a child through a
tragic accident. This family
knows only too wed how
engulfing grief can become.
Now let's go to another line
of thought. Broken marriages
are commonplace. Youth and
adults alike are seeking to
escape through drugs and
alcohol. Even Christian fami
lies are not untouched by
these tragedies. How can we
stand the pressure?
Our steadfastness in trial
depends on the depth of our ,
committment to Christ
When Christians experience
adverse circumstances and
comes through them stronger
and more radiant than ever.
Others go through similar
experiences and are crushed.
Why?
To endure the pressures of
life, we must have our feet
firmly planted on the Bock ,
Jesus Christ. Our minds must
be totally persuaded that He
is not only the way, the truth,
and die Life; but the only way.
the only Truth, die only Life.
When Satan's bombs fall on
every side and threaten to
destroy our very life, we
should stand firm in the
conviction that God is able
and faithful to deliver us.
Some people seek the Lord
only when they are upset by
difficulties. But this is living
dangerously, for when Satan
attacks, there may be no rime
to put on the armor of God.
We must always be ready
faithful in prayer, continuing
in the Word, and growing in
' "f*W?r-T?ray for us at
EveiGreen.
