Bucks Play Tougher
But Lose 4th Quarter
Althouth out manned and out weighed, the Hoke
High Bucks held on for three quarters Friday night
before losing 21-7 to the Richmond Senior Raiders.
"There's not a whole lot good that can come out of
a defeat, but I think that Friday night a lot of our
young men learned that they can play football against
a good team," Buck Coach Tom Jones said.
In the past some Buck teams have been intimidated
by just the names of some of the state's power houses
on the schedule. Those past teams tended to fold
before the opening kickofV, Jones said.
"I think Friday they learned that there are just
other folks on these teams. We took a giant step
mentally," the coach added.
After dropping behind in the first period when a
Raider pa$s that covered 20 yards connected for a
touchdown, the Bucks hustled back and tied the score
7-7.
The Hoke score came on a 39-yard pass from
quarterback John McDutfie to tight end Gary
Stephens.
The score stayed knotted until the final period,
when the Buck defense, which had been led all night
by Lee McNeill, wore out.
"All the defense needed was a little help from the
offense." Jones said.
During the second half, the Bucks failed to make a
first down and only had three during the entire game.
Buck punts averaged 26.3 yards, and the defense
had to meet the Raiders each series within the 50 yard
line.
The bigger offensive linemen for the Raiders wore
down the smaller Buck defense, Jones said.
"It was just a physical thing. They had more mass,"
Jones said.
The Bucks will face Terry Sanford Friday night in
Fayetteville for the first conference game of the
season.
"1 think that victory is within reason for us," Jones
said, adding that the Bucks do some things well that
Sanford will not be able to handle.
However. Terry Sanford played a better first half
against 71st. than the Bucks did a week ago, he
added.
The lesson learned against Richmond might pay off
this week, Jones is hoping.
"We know now that we are not playing a name, or a
group, just other young men," he added.
