P.S.H.S. WARRIOR
OF THE WEEK
by Steve Tyner
In an emotionally charged game, the
Pembroke Warriors thoroughly domina
ted the Prospect Cats last Friday night
21-6 to claim their third consecutive
victory of the 1981 season and remain
undefeated through five contests.
Behind the rushing of Michael
McCartney and Greg Smith, the Warri
ors rolled up 249 yards and 16 first downs
while the defense continued to show its
strength by holding the Cats to * total of
50 yards and forcing four costly
turnovers.
The game began slowly for Pembroke
as the Cats managed to stop them on
three plays. Then Prospect defense was
able to block Eric Locklear's punt giving
their offense good field position on the
Pembroke 47 yard line. However, their
good fortune was short lived. On the first
offensive play, quarterback Timmy Stultz
fumbled but retained possession. On the
second offensive play, tailback Chris
Locklear fumbled at the 50 and the
Warriors recovered. Eight plays later
McCartney rambled to roll up yardage,
but were stopped short of the endzone by
the Cats defense. The Warriors defense
held the Cats' offense to only eight
offensive plays and six total yards.
The second half began with some what
of a puzzle as Prospect elected to kick the
ball instead of receiving. The Warriors
were unable to move the ball and were
forced to punt. Again Eric Locklear
experienced difficulty punting with the
ball traveling only three yards. Prospect
was unable to generate any offense and
Pembroke soon had the ball again.
However, a costly fumble on a third and
five play forced them to punt again.
Locklear was more fortunate this time
and hit a 62 yard punt which ended up on
the Prospect 3 vard line.
Prospect was able to move the ball out
to their 29 yard line where the Warriors
recovered another fumble. In a drive that
took eleven plays, they were able to score
once more with McCartney picking up
his second touchdown from one yard out.
Dwayne Locklear's kick brought the
score to 21-6.
The remainder of the game proved to
be a defensive struggle just as the first
half had ended.
For the night. McCartney rushed 17
times for 76 yards and two touchdowns.
Greg Smith proved to be the work horse
rushing 31 times for 113 yards and one
touchdown.
One bright spot for the Warriors that
was gratefully received was the low
penalty yardage. Having averaged near
ly 100 yards per game previously,
Pembroke committed oiily three penal
ties for IS yards.
The win provided the Warriors with an
emotional lift going into this week's
Homecoming game against conference
foe Clinton. The Warriors had struggled
through the non-conference schedule
with the defense holding strong as the
offense was plaqued with penalties and
mistakes. It seemed as if they needed
that one game in which all the parts
meshed into a well- balanced attack. It
would appear on the surface as if the
Prospect game may have been that
game. Many people ate giving the
Warriors slim chances agains a team that
is ranked third in the state in the 3-A
division, however, they have the capa
bilities of pulling off an upset if they play
as well as they did last weak.
The Warriors' supporters are invited
to come out and enjoy the pre- game
festivities such as the parade at 9:30
p.m. and the Booster Club plate sale in
the school cafeteria from 10:30 a.m. until
7:00 p.m. Game time is 8:00 p.m.
