Page B2-The Chronicle, Thursday Prep Spotlight Carver s By DAVID BULLA Chronicle Sports Editor The area's best defensive foot? ball team, Carver, travels to take on the best offensive unit, i Greensboro Page, Friday night in < a Metro 4-A showdown. | The 7-1 Yellow Jackets of Coach Jim Bovender have allow- | ed only 33 points in eight games i (a 4.1 average). Meanwhile, ' Coach Marion Kirby's Pirates have scored 231 points (a 28.9 average). "I don't think Page will beat us on the ground," said Bovender, whose team is tied with the Pirates for the Metro lead with a 3-0 league mark. "But _ ? ? rage executes its offense as well as anyone we've faced." The top-ranked Pirates, 8-0 overall, show a good balance of passing and running, and they are capable of the big play at any time. Page is led by tailback Marvin Johnson and quarterback Jeff Dunn. Johnson showed his crafty running skills on a 79-yard touchdown run in the Pirates' closest call to date, a 19-12 win Prep Honor Roll V Booe lee By DAVID BULLA Chronicle Sports Editor While Reynolds' varsity football team has struggled to a disappointing 2-7 record, the Demon junior varsity has been the toast of the county. Behind the punishing running of Dredrick Booe and a stingy defense, the jayvees have reversed the numbers of the varsity's record. The young Demons ran their record to 7-2 with a 16-3 victory over Mount Tabor at Griffith School field last Thursday. "We're better than what we showed tonight," said Coach Maynard Surratt. "We're capable of putting together long ^ives on the ground." The Demons, behind the bulllike running of the 6-foot-l, 200-pound Booe, had two ball control drives against the Spartans, whose only points came on Wes Leiphart's 35-yard field goal. One march stalled deep in Mount Tabor territory in the first quarter. But it led to a safety when Reynolds' Ken Surata tackled quarterback Greg Mclntyre in the end zone. Leading 8-3 in the third quarter, the Demons drove 69 yards in 5 minutes, 29 seconds to put the contest out of reach. Booe, who had accumulated 44 yards in the first-period march, got 34 yards, including the last five. He also added two points on the conversion run. "We try to make the defense come to Booe," Surratt con unuea. "you ve got to stop him ?to beat us/' Booe finished with 110 yards on 20 carries. Occasionally, the Demons loosened the Spartan defense with a pop pass. They produced one of their scores last week on such a pass. Quarterback John Barnes found Kevin Mitchell for a 29-yard touchdown with 2:13 left in the half. "We've used a similar game plan all year," Surratt said. "We run Booe right off the tackle's tail and hope he finds an opening to the outside." Reynolds, which runs the veer, also has outside threats in Kelly Fladgcr and Gerald Fenner. Fladger, who has several 100-yard games this season, finished with 57 yards on nine carries against Mount Tabor. ? Anthony Coles, Greg Gilbert and Low ~ Price "have done a super job all season," acording to Assistant Coach Allen Kayler. "The varsity coaches know a good jayvee team when they see one coming," Kayler added. "Wc haven't had much success at i, October 31, 1985 eeks respe( ouvcuucr saiu. uunn is more 01 a dropback passer.

Debnam, who also plays fullback, is coming off one of his finest games of the season. He had 10 tackles and a fumble recovery for a TD in a 24-0 win over East Forsyth. Bovendcr hopes this fivesome can keep enough pressure on Dunn to limit his effectiveness as a passer. If that happens, "we're capable of doing good," said the Carver coach. In many ways, this is the battle of the neighborhood bully against the new kid on the block. The Pirates are defending state co-champions with Fayetteville 71st.
