Scots Stop Bulldog Streak, 27-26
By Clint Fuller
Times Sports Editor
The Bulldog bubble burst
with six minutes, 24 seconds
left in the game Friday night
as the Fighting Scots from
Scotland Neck edged the
locals, 26-26. The unbeliev
able end to hopes for an
undefeated season came off
the talented toe of Scot half
back John Bryant. Missing
the PAT kick twice before,
Bryant made good his third
attempt to give the visitors
the one-point victory.
The S?>ts slapped the
Bulldogs with three touch
downs in a period of only 6
minutes, forty-three seconds.
The blitz left Bulldog fans
stunned with disbelief. The
Bulldogs saw a 26-6 advant
age wiped out and victory
snatched away.
Louisburg jumped out
front at the 3:37 mark in the
first quarter on a 32-yard
romp by Randy Seidel.
Seidel's run for the extra
points was no good as Louis
burg took a 6-0 lead.
As the quarter ended, the
Scots had a second down and
one yard to go on the Louis
burg seven yard line. A clip
ping penalty moved the Scots
back to the Bulldog 22 where
Boo Boo Pergerson inter
cepted a Larry Harrison pass
to kill the visitor's drive.
Moments later Bulldog quar
terback Larry Fuller scored
on a roll out from the nine
yard line and as the PAT run
failed, gave the locals a 12-0
margin.
With 6:54 left in the first
half, the Bulldogs drew a
15-yard penalty that gave the
Scots a first and ten on the
Louisburg 17. Halfback
Tommie Woodar-d, a Bulldog
thorn all night, romped for
the first Scot TD. Bryant's
kick failed and the score
stood at 12-6 in Louisburg's
favor.
With 2:38 left in the first
half, Fuller hit Jimmy Wrenn
with one of his many passes
and Wrenn was stopped on
the Scotland Neck one yard
line. Seidel ran; Neill Mc
Donald ran but it was Phillip
Redmond that carried in for
the score on third down. Ful
ler's pass to Seidel for the
point after failed and the
Bulldogs held an 18-6 lead.

The Louisburg Bulldogs had the Scots all tied up Friday
night but let them get loose. Fans were elated when the locals
held a 26-6 lead over the first 2-A team they'd ever played.
Then the roof caved in. Nobody seems to know exactly what
happened but the Bulldogs will replay that disastrous six
minutes as long as they live.
Ironically, it was the defense that allowed the Scots to
score three touchdowns in a little over six minutes. The
offense played perhaps its best game of the year. However, one
must remember that it was the defense that saved the Wakelon
game -and the conference title-when the offense couldn't
score.
The loss emphasizes the importance of having a place kicker
on a team. Louisburg scored four touchdowns but were able to
connect on only one point after conversion. Scotland Neck's
kicker John Bryant toed the point difference.
Even so, the Bulldogs moved the ball very well and it
looked for a time as if the locals would salvage the win.
Penalties, coming at most inopportune times killed this hope.
What should have been a simple offsides was ruled unnecessary
roughness against Louisburg and broke the Bulldogs beck.
Nobody here will ever believe that Charlie Hobgood has ever
been unnecessary rough. There isn't a nicer kid around
anywhere. The boys in stripes missed that one by a mile.
The Franklinton Rams continue to be a delight to their fans
as they made mush out of the Elm City Vikings. The Rams'
fine quarterback Jerry Simmons was named Back of the Week
in the Durham Herald for his performance. The junior field
general tossed for three touchdowns and scored a fourth as the
Rams won, 40-6. Cliff Williams tallied twice in the game.
Oxford's Danny Narron was Linesman of the Week for having
caught a James Earp pass for the winning TD in a tight contest
with William R. Davie. The Red Devils won, 22-20 on Narron's
catch.
********** "" ? I
Ayden -the biggest name in Class A football-is the next foe
for the Bulldogs. The Tornadoes come here Friday ni^it after
having lost a 22-20 squeaker to powerful. Weldon, rated No. 1
in the state. Even thou^i Ayden lost two backs who
accounted for 40 touchdowns, they are still very tough.
The Tornadoes have lost by five points to 2-A Greene
Central: by 4 points to 2-A Swansboro; by 2 points to seventh
ranked Manteo; by one point to eighth ranked Grifton and
two points to No. 1 Weldon. They beat Camden 6-0; Manteo
beat Camden 62-8. The only sizable loss suffered the whole
season by the Tornadoes was a 28-6 beating at the hands of
2-A Farmville.
If Louisburg is to get back on the winning track, they'll
have to put together an outstanding offensive and defensive
game Friday night.

game when they failed to
pick up a first down. Larry
Fuller's punt was taken on
