Pirates claim second win of
season against Plymouth
By TIRRY WILLIAMS
Benind the potent rushing
attack led by seniors Richard
Thatch and Vincent Foster and a
stingy "maddog defense." The
Pirates of Perquimans defeated
the Plymouth Vikings 20-0
Friday night at Plymouth's
Foster Field.
Thatch gained 95 of the Pirates
183 rushing yards while the
speedy Parker added 48 yards on
just nine carries.
Defensively the Pirates were
led by Marlow Ferbee, Linwood
Parker, and Virgil Whitehurst
who led an inspired defense that
has not been scored on all year.
The Pirates forced Plymouth to
commit five turnovers halting
several Plymouth scoring
threats.
Coach Pat Morgan was
obviously pleased with his
team's overall play. "We had
good execution for two and one
half quarters tonight," Morgan
said.
The Pirates first score came
after Linwood Parker returned a
Plymouth punt 48 yards to the
Vikings 29 yard line. Four plays
later Thatch rumbled over from
three yards then booted the extra
point to give Perquimans a 7-0
lead at the 10:24 mark of the
second quarter.
Later in the second quarter,
Thatch scored his second
touchdown after an 11 play drive
that capitilized on Thatch's one
yard plunge that gave the
Pirates a 13-0 half time lead.
Quarterback Teton Reid
scored the final touchdown of the
evening midway of the third
quarter when he ran a
quarterback option 28 yards for
the touchdown. Thath's extra
point made it 2H> for the final
?core.
The Pirates will play
Chocowinity at home Friday
evening. When asked to
comment on this weeks game
Coach Morgan stated, "Last
year we went into the
Chocowinity game in the same
situation of being 2-0 and
executed our best game of the
year. To continue to win, we
must continue to improve each
game and avoid serious injury."
Game time friday will be 8:00
p.m.
