"Page just absolutely picks everyone apart with their short passing game," said Bovender of the Pirates. "If a high school football team can complete 50% of their passes, then they are going to win some football games. That's what Page has been doing to everyone. And if irAll I tA L/*?? ? ? j\ju u; iu ivt/ un uic passing game, then they run the football on you. "We only threw about 11 or so passes a game last year, and I think this team will bring a new look to Carver in '87. We'll probably CtJNwv twice as much as last year." Bovender's loaded crop of junior talent includes quarterbacks Darryl Napper and Brian Bowman. Bowman .appears 4o -have 4he -early ? edge, but the starting nod is still up for grabs. In the backficld, the Yellowjackets have junior Barron Ballcntine, Jamie King, Richard Hayes, James Johnson and flankers Robert Howard and Charles Smith.

"They just couldn't deny me in that game," said Wallace of his performance in the 13-7 loss. "That was just one of those days where you always seem to be in the right place at the right time. "It was quite an honor being selected the MVP of the game, but obviously I'd much rather have came away with the win."

He said the main objective right now is the Rams' season-opener against Bowie State on September 5. "November is along way off, butI have a feeling we'll get there soon enough.
