[ Bucks Eye Last Victory <
The Hoke High Bucks arc hop
ing to end the season on a winning
note as they take on Lumberton in
an on-the-road contest Friday
night.
The Bucks take a record identi
cal to Lumberton's into the contest
and head Coach Tom Jones is
[ optimistic of his team's chances.
"It we maintain the level of
performance we had Friday night
against E.E. Smith, then we should
i be able to win," Jones said.
After holding E.E. Smith to 164
yards of total offense, the Bucks
lost the game in the closing seconds
of the fourth period.
"It was the best performance of
the year by our offensive line,"
Jones said.
During the game the Bucks
offense was able to move the ball
and stay on the field with the
historically stingy Golden Bulls
defense.
The Bucks amassed over 200
yards total offense and made 13
first downs, while the Golden Bulls
were held to seven first downs and
only completed two of 13 passes.
"We were pleased with the way
our defense played, but they have
played tough all year," the coach
said.
Offensively, one of the best
performances of the evenings was
turned in by tight end Gary
Stephens.
Stephens made six catches for
115 yards and ran well after he
caught the ball, Jones said, noting
that the junior player also blocked
well during the game.
Running back Calvin Dixon also
had a good game, Jones added.
With the Bucks trailing 6-0 late
in the game, Dixon scored on a
13-yard run to tie the contest.
The extra point attempt failed.
E.E. Smith's Fred Clark put the
Golden Bulls ahead late in the
fourth period with a 10-yard run for
his second touchdown of the even
ing.
He also added two points after
the touchdown.
Gary Stephens Named
Athlete Of The Week
Gary Stephens, a 16 year old, 5'
7", 154 pound junior tight end on
the Varsity Football team has been
named Hoke High Athlete of the
Week by the Hoke High Coaching
Staff for the week of October 25-29.
Stephens was tapped for the
honor for his outstanding per
formance in the E.E. Smith game
last Friday night. Gary caught 6
passes for a total of 1 15 yards. This
makes his total for the year 24
passes caught for a club leading
high of 532 yards.
"Gary caught the ball well and
then did some excellent running
after the catch," said Coach Tom
Jones.
"In addition his blocking was the
best it has been all year. Gary
played a complete game doing all
the things a receiver must do
catching, running, and blocking."
Jones said.
Gary is a well rounded athlete
who plays three sports for the
Bucks. Gary has played football on
both the 9th grade and J.V.
squads. He has also done the same
in basketball and baseball. He is
looking forward to playing on the
varsity teams in both of these sports
this season.
However, sports are not Gary's
entire life. Gary is a member of the
Hoke High Spanish Club. The rest
of his spare time is taken up by his
hobbies of reading, dancing and
music.
At the conclusion of his se
condary educaton. Gary plans to
attend college where he plans to
play some sports. He plans to take
a degree in business.
Gary attends Buffalo Springs
Church and is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Harry B. Stephens of Route 3,
Raeford.
