Lions 1-1 After Two
Weeks On The Road
Mars Hill Lions took a SAC-8 vic
tory from Gardner Webb and then fell
to a rally by James Madison University
to put its record at 2-3 after five weeks
of action, and two weeks on the road.
Gardner-Webb faced the Lions in their
first home game at the Boiling Springs
campus and were pleased with rookie
quarterback Mike Wooten's passing in
the 7-3 win. Head coach Claude Gibson
commented that “We didn’t have a ‘kill
er’ instinct for the whole game against
G-W," but “it was the first game that
we’ve thrown the ball almost at will.”
In his best showing of the season,
Wooten completed 11 of 17 tosses for
109 yards and a TD strike. Prior to the
Gardner-Webb game, Wooten had com
pleted only 8 out of 29 attempted passes
for 75 yards.
The following week in Harrisonburg,
Va., Wooten was sidelined on the first
play of the Lions’ opening scoring drive
and did not return to the game. Accord
ing to the MHC coaching staff, Wooten
broke his collarbone and will be in a
brace for at least four weeks. It is not
certain how long he will be out after the
brace is removed. The Lions have only
six games remaining and is it possible
that Wooten will not see any more
action this season.
Following Wooten’s injury the quar
terbacking duties fell to Mark Clark,
a red-shirted freshman (sophomore
academicly). Clark scored the first
TD against James Madison on a 1
yard plunge. James Madison retaliat
ed on a 50 yard TD pass to tie the score
at 7-7. Mars Hill’s Richard Carter scor
ed with 4:23 left in the first half on a
flanker reverse from 20 yards out to
take the lead at 14-7. However, with
only a few minutes left in the half, James
Madison marched 64 yards in 11 plays
to tie the score.
No one scored in the third quarter,
but the Dukes added 10 points in the
4 period to take the contest 24-14. Pri
or to Saturday’s contest, James Madi
son was tied for 8th place in the NCAA
Division III poll and possessed a vaunt
ed passing attack. Mars Hill became the
first team to score against them using
a ground attack. They were giving up
only an average of 156 yards rushing
in their three previous games. And they
were undefeated.
Saturday’s stats show that Mars Hill
had a combined yards rushing and pass
ing of 189; the Dukes’ total was 347.
Their passing attack showed 7 comple
tions in 19 attempts with no intercep
tions, while the Lions had 9 for 19 but
with 4 interceptions.
The Lion have one more week on the
road against Guilford this Saturday be
fore returning to face Carson-Newman
at homecoming on Oct. 14.
FMPhasis
By Mike Mitchell
The first Chicago album to be releas
ed with a name and not a number. The
music seems to be a bit mellower and
more layed back than other Chicago
Albums. The group seems to have found
a grove and followed it all the way
through the album. The title cut Hot
Streets points to this grove very well.
The recording of this album is outstand
ing with very distinct highs, lows, and
all instruments and voices can be easily
heard. The guitar on Gone Long Gone
sounds somewhat like the excellence
of George Harrison, but there is still
a touch of old Chicago in Ain’t It Time
with its vocals and horn arrangements.
Hot Streets - mellow and very nice.
