Pag* 8 West Craven Highlights September 25,1986 New Bern Craven County School Picnic HIGHLIGHTS = Sporti 3 7 Eagles Stroke Hurricanes 45-20 A favorite saying now is "we stroked them" and so the Eagles did last Friday night on Pamlico's home field. The Eagles had a slow start and great expectation began to show as the Hurricanes jump off to a 7 point lead in the first period due to the speed of Tyrone Smith and the sure foot of Stuart Squires on the extra point. Stevie Harris receiving a pass from Jesse Campbell went over for the Eagles first score but failing to get the extra point the Eagles trailed by one point. This lead was soon shattered as the Eagles push a 74 yard to set up a one yard run by Nobles to put the Eagles out front. Pamlico came back with Tyrone Smith picking off a pass and running 75 yards for the TD. The extra point was blocked. The score was 13-12 which indicated Pamlico would, probably take it to the dressing room for the half but as Tyrone Smith fumbled on the Pamlico 16, Derek Booker recovered and four plays later Nobles bulled in from the 1 to tidy up the score and with the conversion points by Camp bell, the Eagles went to the locker room leading 20-13. The second half showed the Eagles could hold and gain at will, raising the score to 41-20. The Eagles put an irhpres- sive 357 yards on the ground in the score book while Pamlico gained only 78. Jesse Campbell added 167 of those yards to his record. The Eagles meet the Patriots of West Carteret in Cagle. Stadium this Friday night. Kick off time is 8 p.m. This is the first conference game of the season. Expectations are for the Eagles winning their fifth straight Friday night.
