The Pirates led 27-6 at

team to an inspiring second-half
effort in a 27-22 loss. WSSU had
the ball at the Pirate 15-yard line

with 7:49 left in the fourth quarter before Tiano
made good on three consecutive extra-point kicks
for the game's final point. His first two kicks were
disallowed by illegal procedure penalties. Tiano's
third try was from 30 yards away. He made the long
PAT with more than 10 yards to spare.
After Mount Tabor failed to mount a threat, East
regained possession with 5:12 remaining. Torrence
drove the Eagles as close as the Spartan 11-yard
line. With the ball in the middle of the field, East
seemed content to keep it there and let Tiano kick
the go-ahead field goal.
But on third down Torrence was sacked by Daryl

College Notebook
Tigers too much
for Hooker, A&T
North Carolina A&T's football team played well
enough to win against many of the opponents on its
schedule.
But not Tennessee State.
The Tigers, coming off an unbeaten season, were
just too physical last Saturday night. The Tennessee
State defense, not completely able to control the
passing of quarterback Alan Hooker, limited the
Aggies to 66 yards rushing. TSU also forced four
turnovers en route to a 31-15 win over A&T at Hale
Stadium in Nashville.
"We wanted to run and we wanted to pass,"
A&T Coach Mo Forte said. "But we found we
couldn't do both."
The fourth-year Aggie coach praised the play of
Tiger noseguard Mike Robinson. The 6-foot-1,
215-pound senior made matters difficult for
Hooker, who completed 15 of 39 passes for 201
yards and a touchdown- Hooker had 11 rushes for
negative 41 yards.
"There was constant pressure on me," said
Hooker, a sophomore from Liberty. "They were
getting so much penetration that we had to try lots
of short, quick passes."
Meanwhile, Tennessee State quarterback Gilbert
Renfroe had an easier time of it. Renfroe, who
alternated with Kenneth Biggies last season, completed
26 of 46 passes for 289 yards and three
touchdowns. Biggies has since departed.
The victory left TSU Coach William Thomas as
one of the few unbeaten coaches in the land.
Thomas, now 12-0, is in his second season at the
Nashville school.
