Yellow Jackets Bow To Bunn
In Season's Last Home Game
John Graham's seniors
will remember Dennis Tabron,
penalties and a loss as
they'reflect back to their
last home football game.
Penalties on crucial plays
and the swift legs of Bunn's
Tabron gave the Jackets an
8-6 loss on their home field
Friday night.
Seniors playing their last
home game were Brownja
Alston, J. C. Alston, William
Alston, Amos Cheek, Steven
Foster, Darryl Lyles, Horace
Simes, Gregg Stiff and
Jason Young.
Early in the first quarter
both teams battled between
the 35-yard lines before
Lyles connected with Melvin
Williams for a long pass and
a first down. In the
third-down play, Bunn's
Tabron was waiting and
intercepted Lyles' pass on
the John Graham 18-yard
line, cancelling hopes of the
touchdown.
Defensive efforts by big
Eric Perry, Horace Simes
and Steven Foster held the
Bulldogs.
Brownja Alston carried
the ball straight up the
middle following the punt,
setting up several first
downs in ensuing plays.
With 59 seconds remaining
in the half, Lyles connected
with Victor Harrison in the
end zone for a touchdown.
The two-point conversion
attempt failed and John
Graham went into the
second quarter, 6-0.
Bunn had six penalties,
five in a row, during the
second quarter with John
Graham able to hold on
defense and not gain in
offense. Lyles intercepted a
pass, setting up a short
drive but again Bunn's defense
held the JG attack.
At the half-way point,
Bunn was deep in JG
territory following the punt.
In the third quarter, Bunn
inched the ball down-field to
within the 15 before John '
Graham's defense stopped
the drive. On a crucial
play-fourth and inches with
Bunn attempting the first
down, a John Graham
penalty gave them the
yardage needed.
Tabron ran in from the
five for the tie score. The
two-point conversion was
good and Bunn moved
ahead, 8-6.
The sting was still with the
Jackets as they continuously
broke through the Bulldog
defense during the fourth
quarter. Lyles completed a
pass to Foster and broke
loose on a quarter-back
keeper, setting up first
downs.
In the fourth and five
situation, Lyles again broke
loose for a long run before
getting creamed by the
defense. Lyles was injured
on the play and Curly Tuck
replaced him as quarterback
on a first and 10 play.

With four minutes remain
ing in the game, Lyles
returned to the JG offensive
team but could not rustle up
enough for a score.
Bunn's Tabron again
carried the ball for long
runs. But offsetting penalties
upset a long run as time
ran out and Bunn never
relinquished the lead, 8-6.
John Graham's wingback
Victor Harrison was slightly
injured in the first period
and did not see action during
the second half.
The Jackets rushed for 107
yards with Lyles' record 6
for 13 for 117 yards and a
total of 224 yards.
Eight penalties totalling
80 yards hurt the Jackets.
Bunn was penalized 60
yards. The Bulldogs rushed
for 136 yards with only 29
yards in the passing game.
John Graham is 5-4 for the
season with 1-2 in conference
play. They will travel
to Norlina Friday night to
take on the Blue Waves in
the final game of the season.
The final fame for
quarterback, Darryl Lyles
and wingback, Victor Harrison,
however, was last
week. Neither will dress for
the Norlina game following
injuries sustained in the
Bunn game.
