Chowan Loses Edge
in Closing Moments
Baltimore Community College
drove 61 yards for a fourth
quarter touchdown to erase a
Chowan College 10-7 halftime
lead and defeat the Braves, 14-10,
in the season opening game for
both teams here Saturday, Sept.
13.
Baltimore scored first to serve
notice the outcome would not be
the same as last year when
Chowan won 49-0. Tailback Scott
Riley ran eight yards on the
second play after a fumble
recovery at Chowan’s eight. Sam
Varano kicked the first of two
extra points to give the Red
Devils a 7-0 lead.
Later in the first quarter,
William Hinton of Gatesville
kicked a 20-yard field goal to give
the Braves toeir first points of the
season. Before the half ended,
defensive back Larry Holbert of
Virginia Beach gave Chowan the
lead on a dazzling 95-yard run
after making his second in
terception of the game.
Holbert stole the ball from the
intended receiver, danced away
from several would-be tacklers,
cut to Baltimore’s sideline, and
outran several Red Devils to the
endzone. Hinton’s kidc provided
Chowan a 10-7 lead.
With the defenses dominating
the game, Chowan’s lead held up
until Baltimore began a drive
from its own 39 with nine minutes
left in the game. With the hard
running Riley carrying almost
every time, the Red Devils
penetrated deep into Braves’
territory. Then sophomore
quarterback Robert Jones faked
to Riley who punged into the
center of the line drawing the
Chowan defenders to him. Jones
swept end for a big gain to keep
the rally alive. Riley ran the final
eight yards uup the middle for his
second score and the winning
margin.
Defensively, Chowan was
paced by linebackers Craig
Vosler of Virginia Beach and
Richard Fowler of Tabor City
and end John Buffaloe of
Jackson. All are freshmen.
Baltimore’s final TD was the only
long drive of the afternoon.
Chowan could not get its offense
moving with fumbles, two in
terceptions of quarterback Jeff
Dean passes, and hard defensive
play by Baltimore keeping the
Braves in the hole most of the
game.
Chowan will try to even its
season and Coastal Conference
records at 1-1 when it meets
Potomac State in Keyser, W. Va.
Saturday, Sept. 20 at 8 p.m.
