I October 3, 1985 Page B1 ' College Football Rams blow out shaky Pirates By DAVID BULLA Chronicle Sports Editor - -- ? Hurricane Gloria closed down Hampton University last Friday. But Gloria did less damage to the school than the Winston-Salem State Rams, who plundered the Pirates 47-13 last Saturday at Armstrong Field. The gathering storm that was the WSSU football team had a week off to prepare for Hampton, win ner ot its first three games for its best start since 1976. Ram Coach Bill Hayes believed the schedule contributed to the unexpectedly lopsided Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association victory. 4The week off gave us time to get rested," said Hayes, whose club improved to 2-1 overall and 1-1 in the CIAA. "We had eight days to prepare while they played Virginia Union last week." Just as important was the play of WSSU's defense, which scored two touchdowns. Strong safety Derrick Beasley set the tone for the rout with a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown with 12:11 left in the first quarter. Beasley said he took advantage of a shaky Pirate in quarterback Lei Kendall. The Pirates had completed fewer than 25 percent of their passes entering the game and were five of 21 with four interceptions against the Rams. "He wasn't throwing with confidence," said Beasley of Kendall. "We wanted to keep him from eettine his confidence un and I think thp int#?rr>Ark w w . ^ ... ? f ? -w - ? ? ? !

The second touchdown came on a blocked punt, which linebacker Mark Wallace recovered midway through the second quarter for a 21-0 WSSU lead.

"It is one of the most beautiful and most challenging courses around, and I'm eager to do everything I can to boost the program for all people." In addition to his work at Tanglewood Park and Winston Lake (in 1976), Morns' golf experience includes a stint as the pro for the Tanglewood Junior Golf Association from 1978-80.

You check and double check. "Patrick Lannon, Whiteville, 6-1, 190. Brian McPhatter, Fayetteville Byrd, 6-2, 205." No "Kennard Martin, W-S Parkland, 5-11, 196." Just as you start to shake your head in disbelief, you notice that Martin's not even on the cover of Parkland's program. Maybe he missed photo day. Clearly, Rodney Dangerfield ain't got nothing on Kennard Martin. If anyone was ever entitled to say "I don't get no respect," then it's the Parkland High School senior. Through last Friday night's 30-14 win over Davie County, Martin had 628 yards on 52 carries with eight touchdowns. That's an incredible 12-yard average. It projects to 1,570 yards on 130 carries and 20 touchdowns for the regular season. That won't break Ed Byers' single-season school record of 1,826 yards, but it would break his single-season ground TD mark (14). Give Martin a couple of playoff games -- not an unreasonable assumption, since the Mustangs are off to their best start in the school's 21-year history -- and he might even break Byers' imposing yardage record. But Martin's not concerned about his celebrity. He is aware that the big-name colleges know all about him, and that's all looker to salvagi ant to do \ing I can nembered ,* \ ivp much W 5R. # school.

The Mustangs started slowly but finished with a rush. "We're doing it by going out and doing ? this year, not with a lot of that rah-rah stuff," said Thompson, whose team takes a 4-0 record into Friday night's game with Mount Tabor. 4'Last year, everybody wanted to get a high five so bad that we sometimes forgot about football. This team is not lackadaisical, just quiet. They do their drills before games almost mechanically and then .... "Well, the Davie Counry coaches weren't sure what to expect we were so quiet in warmups tonight." If Parkland earns one of the three playoff berths awarded to the Central Piedmont 4-A Conference, it will be in large part due to an explosive offense that features Martin's running. Each of the Mustangs' four touchdowns against the War Eagles came on big plays: runs of 53 and 33 yards by Martin, a 27-yard pass from quarterback Tony CovPlease see page B9~ i difficult season feeling was just as good."
