Combination of factors contribute to Buck loss Although Hoke County's Bucks played better defense Friday night than they did a week ago, some coaching mistakes, a few player er rors and a controversial official call added together to work against the home team as the Bucks lost 27-7. "We just ran into a football team that played better than we did," said Hoke Head Coach Tom Jones. Although South View scored first, the Bucks bounced back quickly, capitalizing on a Tiger mistake. Hoke players recovered a fum ble of one of their own punts to set up a drive on the South View 38. In seven plays, the Bucks were down to the one-yard line. On the next play, Dwaine Stubbs went across and Mac Langdon popped the goal in the middle to tie the score 7-up. Just before half-time, Hoke Quarterback Ricky Chavis passed to Terrell Carpenter, a pass that fell incomplete. instead of blowing the ball dead, officials in the game ruled the throw a backward lateral and the ball still in play. South View's Eric Greene picked up the ball and ran 13 yards for the touchdown. Never willing to let his players take the blame for a loss, Jones said; "I could have done a better job on play selection." "We just played poorly and 1 coached poorly," Jones said. "We should have run a fullback trap more off out option," he said. "Wc lost this week, but we're trying to be a better football team. We really are." Ever confident, Jones said, "I don't think my players will give up." Next week, the Bucks face Fayetteville's 71st High School. The team stands with a record of 1-1, having beaten Scotland Coun ty High School in their season opener but losing to Richmond County High last week. "That will be a challenge, a challenge I think we're up to," Jones said. Last second bomb saves JV's The football was in the air as time ran out for the Hoke County High School Junior Varsity Bucks last Thursday afternoon. Although the ball was in the air when time ran out, when it came down, the ball landed in the hands of Terry Southerland and gave the team a literal last second victory, said Head Coach Tom Jones. The 65-yard touchdown pass came from Quarterback Josh Pate. The extra point kick was no good but it did not matter, Hoke High beat the J.V. team from South View 15-12, Jones said. Earlier in the second quarter. Pate connected with Southerland for the first time giving the team an 8-0 lead in the game. Pate's brother. Jay, came across with the extra point that time to make it a 9-0 ballgame. The score remained the same with South View appearing to have left their scoring ability at home until the last quarter when they came up with 12 quick points to put them in the lead. Hoke's extra two points came from a safety early in the game, Jones said. Hoke Volleyballers split wins In play last week, the Hoke County High School Varsity Volleyball team split both matches with the final score of each match showing Hoke 1, opponents 1. Last Tuesday, the team traveled to Pinecrest where they lost the first match 10-15, 15-3 and 6-15. The team rallyed in the second match only to lose the first game 14-16. Then it was Hoke's turn to win. The last two games of the match ended with respective scores of 15-6 and 1 5-9. On Thursday, the team stayed at home to play West Robeson. The same thing happened, almost. Hoke's girls lost the first match in three games but won the second in a decisive two games. The varsity record stands at 6-2-0. In J.V. Volleyball action, Hoke did not fair as well. In competition with Pinecrest last Tuesday, Hoke won one, 15-3 and lost two, 7-15 and 5-15. When West Robeson came to town, the team was ready. Hoke's J.V. team took both games. Results from Girl's Tennis play last week came in mixed. Early in the week, the tennis team was walked on by Pinecrest 6-2. Wendy Simpson defeated her opponent Karen Atkins 7-6 and 6-0 and Kim Hawkins won by default. "The team did not play well and Pinecrest has many fine athletes. One of Pinecrest's strong points is their serving. We couldn't seem to return some very strong serves," said Coach Audrey Long. Later in the week at home, the tide had turned. The Hoke girls stomped West Robeson 9-0. Wendy Simpson, with a 4-0 singles record, beat Athena Locklear 6-1 and 6-2; Amy Booker beat Vondra Locklear 6-3 and 6-4; Kim Payne popped Mona Locklear 6-2 and 6-0; Stephanie Holland defeated Lamecha Swett 6-0, 6-0; Beth Archer beat Tammy Locklear 6-2, 6-0 and Kim Hawkins walked on Necia Brayboy 6-1 and 6-0.
