Good season The Hoke High Bucks barely missed a playoff spot this year, but had one of the best seasons in seven years. These team members seem relaxed dur ing an earlier game this year. Bucks have best season in 7 years The Hoke County High School Bucks shut down a running powerhouse to whip Lumberton 20-0 and finish their football season with the best record in seven years. Although the Bucks did not win a playoff berth, Head Coach Tom Jones is still very proud of his team. "We're real pleased with our kids," Jones said. "The bottom line is that we are really hiukJJtJ^wA.did not geUn^, the playoffs. I can look back over the season and pick out one or two, plays that hurt us," the coach sttidc "The kids worked hard enough to give the people of Hoke County a winning season." Hoke finished the season with a 7-3 record, their best since 1977, according to Jones. The only thing that kept the Bucks out of playoff action was a win last Friday by Reid Ross. Since Reid Ross beat the Bucks, they were given the number two playoff berth instead of Hoke County. Of the thrilling win last Friday night, Jones said: "Our team has played very consistent football over the last month. ? This timg last weeju Jones- was worried about a ybu'n?llumE>ertori runner named Timmy Worley. Worley had gained about 200 yard per game over the course of the season. Jones worried in vain because the Bucks' defense stopped the tank. Worley only gained about 87 yards last Friday night. "It was a very defensive game," said Jones. Both Terrell Carpenter and Elgin Blue gained as much yardage in fewer runs than did Worley, ac cording to game statistics. Carpenter ran 82 yard on the night in 12 runs and Blue ran 80 yards in 10 runs. It took Worley 16 tries to gain his yardage. Carpenter, had a 44 yard run for a touchdown and Blue a scoring of SO yard to go along with a six yard touchdown run. The tank never got cranked up; Worley's longest run was 18 yards. The only chance Lumberton got in the game to score was early in the second quarter when a series of short runs by Worley put the Pirates in scoring position. The Buck defense stopped them and they had to settle for a field goal attempt that failed. Hoke High got on the boards early in the game, with about 3:02 left in the first quarter. Carpenter scored from 44 yards out on the Bucks' second posses sion of the game. Blue was hot in the lasf quarter. \' H? popped the six "yiiftofl touchdown with ii:57 left in the game and about two minutes later, was streaking down the field for a 50 yard touchdown. Kicker Mac Langdon made his extra points on the first two of the touchdowns. WAGON WHCCL RCSTAURANT Harris Av?. DINE WITH US THANKSGIVING DAY Turk my With AH Th?

Raeford residents worked on pit crew for T. Schoonover Two Raeford residents were on the pit crew of the driver who was killed last Sunday at the Atlanta International Speedway. Terry Schoonover, 32, was the first driver to be killed at Atlanta at all and the first to die in a Grand National event since 1975, reports say. Schoonover, who crashed on lap 130, was making his second ap pearance on the Grand National circuit. Raeford's Garry Frederick and Billy Norton were serving on Schoon over's pit crew when the crash occurred. Schoonover, a Florida resident, was pulled unconscious from his car and treated at the infield center. He was then transferred to an Atlanta hospital where he was pro nounced dead.

The Lady Spartans won the con ference post-season tournament and earned a berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament for the third straight season. "We're counting heavily on our returning players," said Lynne Agee, fourth-year head coach at UNC-G. "The leadership of the team naturally belongs to them. Experience will be the key to our success this year. "We have several players who have been in the program three years and are looking forward to having a Tine senior year," Agee said.
