THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY J/ojumo M, No.44, USPS 41HW0 Hertford, Perquimans County, N.C., Wednesday, November 26, 25 CENTS ' Perquimans County Pirates stun North Edgecombe Warriors Once again the defense of the Per quimans Pirates reigns supreme, and Perquimans Coach Bill Flippen described the defensive unit as 'Su permen.' Perquimans stopped North Edgecombe M> in the second round of the state 1-A playoffs Friday night. 1 Flippen stated that he knew all along that the ballgame would be tough defensively. He stated that he did not expect to shut the Warriors out. The Warriors entered the ballgame ranked second in the state averaging over 400 total yards and 40 points per game. The Pirates held the Warriors to 131 yank and stunned the Tobacco Belt Conference Champion. . The only points scored came early in the game on the Warriors second possession. After the Pirate defense stopped Edgecombe on three downs, Edgecombe failed on their punting attempt. The ball was snapped be tween the punter's legs. The punter fumbled the ball on the seven yard line. Marshal) Tillett recovered the ball in the end zone for what proved to be the game's only touchdown. Perquimans blocked the Warriors second punt attempt, but could not get it together. The offensive unit continued to be frustrated throughout the night. The Pirates had a tough time hold ing on against the Warrior defensive, they rushed for just eight yards in to tal offense in the first half, and did not gain a first down. They had a quick defensive line,' said Flippen. Late in the second quarter the War riors made their greatest threat against Perquimans, thrusting deep into Perquimans territory. Thanks to an interfernce call on the play, the ball was moved to the Pirates 21 yard line with less than a minute in the quarter. The Warriors got no closer than the 19 yard line. On a fourth down at tempt, with 10 seconds left, the War riors attempted a field goal but the ball was short and wide. The defensive fight continued into the second half. Perquimans got their first first down three minutes into the half. Hie Pirates came close to scoring early in the fourth quarter, their first threat in the second half. With the ball on their 45 yard line, Tyvoice Cos ton ran 21 yards. Due to penalties against Edgecombe on the play, the ball was moved to the nine yard line. The drive ended with a fumbled ball on the seven yard line. The Pirates continued to hold the Warriors in the second half as they attempted several scoring drives. Aided by several penalties against the Warriors the Pirates were able to hold onto the ball until the final min ute of the game. According to Coach Flippen the key to Friday's game was prepara tion. 'I thought we were really pre pared,' said Flippen. Flippen also stated that the Pirates kicking game played an important role in the victory. Punter Jerrod J Baccus kept the Warriors deep in their own territory. According to I Flippen the Warriors had only at- ! tempted two punts in their regular season. 'Our kids are used to playing under pressure,' said Flippen. 'Our kids are used to everytime they step on the field its going to be a close baUgame.' The Pirates also had the support of a number of fans who survived the long road trip to Leggett. The Perqui mans fans almost out numbered the Edgecombe fans present. Perquimans record is now 10-2. In the third round of the playoffs they will face Northhampton West. Due to problems earlier in the season, the game will be played at Chowan Col lege on Friday at 2 p.m.. i Boone collects food for Open Door The Open Door Food Pantry of Per quimans County was the recipient of a good deed on Saturday, November 22nd, when fifteen Boy Scouts, led by Life Scout Joshua Boone, canvassed the county for food donations. Troop 175 meets in Elizabeth City and is sponsored by the Church of Je sus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. This project was Boone's Eagle Scout ^project. The Scouts met at Boone's home in Hertford at noon on Saturday. Boone divided the Scouts into six teams to carry out the project. One team was stationed at the Belo Supermarket. The other five teams went door-to door in the town of Hertford and throughout the county to ask for do nations. The team at Belo asked shoppers as they entered the store to pick up ^one extra food item for the needy as they did their pre-Thanksgiving shopping. The Scouts had a list for each shopper of the food items partic ularly needed by the Open Door. Shoppers were very supportive of the boys efforts, according to Cornelius Mack, one of the Scouts at Belo. 'We received approximately eight boxes of food during the four hours we were there,' he stated. 'One man even gave us a ten dollar donation!' Sean Vail, the other Scout at Belo, said that he really learned something. 'It wasn't always the fanciest dressed people who gave to us,' he said. 'Many times it was people who said that they knew what it was to be hun gry, that had been there before, and knew how much it meant to be helped.' Mr. Chory, manager of Belo, gave the boys his full support, and on be half of Belo, donated a case of flour to the Open Door of Perquimans County. The other five teams of boys can vassed door-to-door, and collected alot of food. They found that while many people had already given to the Open Door through their churches, they dug into their food supply again for the Boy Scouts. Each group of boys had an adult who drove behind them collecting the food as the bags became heavy. All in all it was a very successful campaign according to Boone. A pickup truck load of food was given to the Open Door to help stock its lar der. Anne White, Jodie, and Jim Bass of the Open Door were there to thank the Scouts for their four hours of ef fort on behalf of a very worthy cause. Patti White, of the Perquimans County Senior Center, let Boone use the facilities as a meeting place after the drive was over. After their effort, the boys enjoyed a snack and a game of basketball before going home. 'A big thank you goes to my Scout Troop for their help,' says Boone. 'I appreciate so much their help and their support as I did my project. I could never have done it without them. I also thank Mr. Chory and Belo, Patti White, Mr. Bill Cox, the newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations, Anne White, Jodi Bran tham, Jim Bass, and my adult driv ers. I also thank the good and kind people of Perquimans County for their help and support in my en deavor. You are all the best! ' Besides the truck load of food col lected, a monetary donation totalling $61.77 was collected. This will be used to buy food items at Belo to supple ment the food that was collected. Anyone who was not at home, and who would still like to donate food items can call Josh Boone at 426-5452 or drop them at Dr. Jack Boone's of fice, 514 Ainsley Avenue, Hertford. ?Awards banquet planned The Perquimans County Jaycees are currently accepting nominations for their distinguished service awards, and the Rogerson memorial award.
