not dressed out for the game, finds a different sport
in squirting water on a passing cheerleader.

Bucks lose heartbreaker , 29-28
In the football season opener,
the Hoke County High School
Bucks lost by one point to Cape
Fear High School.
The Bucks went down in the last
25 seconds of the game last Friday
night when Cape Fear's Tim
Graham crossed the goal line com
pleting a two-point conversion
with 25 seconds left in the game.
The final score was 29-28.
Although the loss was a great
disappointment for Hoke Head
Coach Tom Jones, he remains op
timistic for the season.
"We still feel like we're goins to
be a good football team. Ju.<; like
any team in any endeavor, we've
got a lot of problems and we have
to find some way to help them,"
Jones said.
The key to the game, according
to Jones, was within the last two
minutes when Hoke had to punt
the ball away after two penalties,
said Jones.
Cape Fear received the ball and
ran it in from 35 yards to within
four of the goal.
Three plays later, Cape Fear
scored.
"We did not have the ball
enough," said Jones. "When we
did have the ball, we were effec
tive."
Hoke did move the ball well.
With 3:03 left in the first
quarter, Hoke's Eric McLaughlin
ran in to tie the score 6-6 and get
Hoke on the board.
Ricky Chavis scored Hoke's se
cond touchdown from one yard
out in the second quarter.
Late in the third quarter, Hoke's
Terrell Carpenter broke loose and
left the pack scoring from 45 yards
out.
That touchdown and an extra
point kick from Mac Langdon
made the score 21-14.
Cape Fear was soon to score
again.
Hoke took its final lead of the
night on another score from
Carpenter from 16 yards out. That
touchdown made it 28-21.
Despite the loss Friday night,
Jones indeed has reason to be op
timistic.
Speedster Terrell Carpenter ran
for 177 yards in 19 carries.
Next week, Hoke High goes up
against South View, a "vastly im
proved team," said Jones.
"It's always a close game with
them," said the coach.

Playing at home last Wednes
day, Hoke County scored two
wins, Coach Melissa McGougan
said.
"This is a team that can really
play together," said McGougan.

hot, beating the Scotland County
team 15-12, losing the second game
10-15 and coming back in the third
15-4.
Hoke lost the first game of the

were the outstanding players for
the matches, said McGougan.

also did a good job beating their
Scotland County opponents in two
matches also.
Morris hits
hole-in-one
On Tuesday, September 10, Sam
Morris hit a hole-in-one at Hoke
County's Arabia Golf Club, his
first after over 20 years of the
game.
Luck was with him on the 13th
hole, a 175 yard, par three hole.
"I hit a four wood," said Mor
ris.
Although he did not see it drop,
Morris took the ball out of the cup
with pride.
According to the mdn, he and
his son, John Morris, rode to the
green after their tee shots looking
for the ball.
Morris said he thought the ball
had overshot the green.
"A hole-in-one is absolutely
luck," he said.
On August 15, Morris had
surgery on his left eye for removal
of a cataract.
"It feels just like 1 did when I
first broke 70," Morris said.
Morris joins the ranks of other
local residents who have hit holes
in-one such as Frank McFayden,
Gene Carter and Jack Tucker.
