"It was a disappointing loss."
Bucks Head Coach Tom Jones said.
"We were our own worst enemy.
Our mistakes beat us. We were
harder on ourselves than Cape
Fear." Jones said.
One of the bright spots of the
game was the Hoke defense.
The Bucks held Cape Fear to a
total offense of 127 yards and
allowed only one sustained drive.
However, the offense failed to
capitalize on the defense effort and
scoring opportunities went by the
boards.

Junior defensive end Ambrosia
Douglass got to the Cape Fear
punter twice and blocked punts
which gave the Bucks good field
positions.
"Our offense is behind the
defense, but we expect that this
time of year," Jones said.
After trailing at the half 7-0,
Hoke got its only counting score
early in the third quarter when
junior running back Lowell Sim
mons hauled in a quarterback John
McDuffie pass at the nine yard
line.
The Bucks' score came following
a fumble by Cape Fear quarterback
Tony Smith.
Three other attempted scores
ended after the Bucks miscued.
One TD was called back after a
holding call, and two other Buck
hopes were dashed after McDuffie
passes were picked off by quarter
back Smith who was playing in the
Cape Fear defensive secondary.
On the bright side for the offense
was the passing game. Jones said,
noting that the ball was thrown

well.
Good catches were also made
during the season opening contest
by tight end Orlando McKinnon
and split end Gary Stevens, Jones
said.
The Bucks will be working this
week on ironing out some of those
mistakes that spoiled the victory
over Cape Fear, and preparing for
season's second battle against
South View Friday night in Hope
Mills.
"We don't know much about
them, but I think that we can be
competitive with South View."
Jones said.
"We need the win badly," the
coach said.
South View, as was Cape Fear,
will be a non-conference game.
Victories in the early games
could set the stage for a winning
season for the Bucks. Jones added.
