Mustang defenders E McKissick (photo by James Par Prep Spotlight mu?imi By SAM DAVIS Chronicle Sports Editor Charlotte's Garinger High School took advantage of three Parkland fumbles to defeat the Mustangs 12-0 in the seasonopener for both teams last Friday night at Bowman Gray Stadium. Parkland, playing an inexperienced offensive line, hadtrouble executing offensively and that more than anything else was its undoing. The Mustangs, favored to be one of the best teams in the county this year, had trouble sustaining anything offensively and, despite a strong defensive performance, lost their fourth season-opener in five years. Despite the loss, Parkland Coach Homer Thompson said the Mustangs will still have toftat , reckoned with by county and ' conference foes. 4'We're not discouraged by the loss," said Thompson. "We'll have to go to work on some things, but I think we'll be all right come conference time. This team has a lot of pride and they l 1 a AI 1 miuw wnai ineir goais are. ,4I told people going into the season that we had a lot of young players on the line and that it would take some time for us to come around," Thompson said. "I'm not the kind of coach that goes out and pours it on the kids in August. That's not my philosophy. We try to bring the team along slowly and give everyone a chance who could contribute to the team." Yet, Thompson noted some particular areas that he feels the team must work on. "We had a lot of first-game jitters, " Thompson said. "We intended to pass the ball more, but every time we tried to throw, we either got sacked or rushed into throwing an incomplete pass. They (Garinger) did a lot of stun^ _ _ tin& because they knew we were line. 'The turnovers that we had came as a result of their defense,'* Thompson said. "They were a little too quick for us up the middle and it caused poor handoffs in the backfield. "Every play on offense we made some type of error. But give me some time to work on things and we'll be off and runn ing." Defensively, the Mustangs played well. Led by captain and middle linebacker Bobby Scrivens and defensive end Jacques Holiday, Parkland turned back Garinger on three drives inside the Mustang 20-yard line. "I thought our defense played super," said Thompson. "They had to put in a good game just to keep the score close. Scrivens singlehandedly stopped two Garinger drives, making a diving, one-handed interception to thwart one Wildcat march and recovering a fumble to stop another. ly, September 6, 1984 v^r^BH.

Taking control of the ball on the Garringer 48-yard line, Parkland quickly moved to the 23 on five running plays. However, on third and nine, junior tailback Kenard Martin coughed the ball up when he was hit by several Garinger defenders. From that point on, the Mustangs had a tough time holding on to the ball, much less gaining yardage. N Parkland held the Wildcats scoreless through the first quarter, turning back two drives inside the Mustang 20. Garinger finally got on the scoreboard with 5:47 regaining in the half as the result of yet another Parkland v "We're not discouraged by the loss....

A bad snap to punter Chris Acker on fourth down resulted in a three-yard loss and the Wildcats took possession on the Mustang 18. On first down, Brown con nectea with tight end Mike West, who made a one-handed grab to put his team up 6-0. Darrin Sanson's P.A.T. made the score 7-0. Garinger's remaining points were all courtesy of Parkland mistakes. The Wildcats went up 10-0 with 7:26 left in the third quarter following a fumble by Parkland backup quarterback Tony Covington.

In addition to Scrivens and Holiday, Thompson also had praise for several newcomers in the Mustang lineup.
