Pembroke Warriors Open Season at Rowland The Pembroke Senior High Warriors travel to Rowland Friday to play the South Robeson Mustangs in the first varsity football game of the 1981 season. For the Warriors under head coach Ralph Ward it will be an invitation into what is hoped to be a good season. The coaching staff has expressed some very optimistic thoughts about this year's varsity squad. Pre season practice has gone very well and the squad made a respectable showing in their scrimmage against Maxton last week. There are a few changes in the schedule for this year. For the past few years the Warri ors have played the St. Pauls Bulldogs in their non-confe rence schedule. This year, however, the Warriors will be playing Gumberry High School.

Homecoming is scheduled for October 9 and Parents Night for October 16. Ticket prices for 1981 will be $2.50 at the gate. Season tickets may be purchased for the five home games for $10.00.
