After five weeks, the race for the
city fcoumywle U beginning to take defi
nite shape. Carver leds the pack at 4-0
and looks to be the team to beat Mean
while, East Forsyth lost its first game of
the season, this one being decided in
overtime.
In other games, Parkland and West
Forsyth are jubilant after securing {heir
first victories of the season. Here's a
recap of last week's jayvee grid action.
Carver^
The Yellow jackets used a big-play
ground game in rolling to a 30-0 win
nvw Nnrth Fhwyth Carver '? i? now S-0
overall and leading the standings in the
race for city/county jayvee championship
at 4-0.
Center Maurice McMillan and
guard Byron Epps opened huge holes for
the rushing attack that totaled 290 yards.
In the meantime, Johnny Senn produced
some eye-catching numbers ? . 172 yards
on nine carries and four touchdowns.
Senn scored on runs of 69, 65 and
three yards. He also caught a 13-yard TD
pus from quarterback Rico Hunter.
Pedro Barnes scored the final Jackets'
TD on a 13-yprd ran.
MI was pleased with what we did
offensively, " said Mike Pennington,
Carver coach. We ran behind McMillan
and Epps all night and Hunter had his
best game of the season. He was poised
and made good decisions on his throws."
Defensively, Carver continues to
play miserly football with the help of
defensive coordinator Cornell Wallace, a
State. MWe have a good group on that
side of the ball,* said Pennington.
"They're very aggressive and they like to
hit." '
East Forsyth
Previously unbeaten East got its
first taste of defeat, losing 7-6 to South
Stokes in overtime.
Regulation play ended in a score
less tie. To break the tie, each team gets
one series of downs from the opponents'
10-yard line to score a touchdown and
extra point If no team scores, the process
is repeated.
East won th& toss for first posses
sion and scored on a five-yard run by
A.C. Coleman. The PAT was no good.
Stokes re turnedihe lavor when
they got possession, knotting the score at
6-6. The Eagles didn't help themselves
when they were penalized for facemask
ing, giving Stokes an extra down to
fcorkwith.
Mistakes may have been the mqjor
reason why this game reached overtime
to start with. The Eagles shot themselves
in the wings by committing six turnovers.
"We rushed for 250 yards so mov
ing the ball wasn't the problem," said
John Pegram, East coach. "But when you
fumble and keep putting the ball on the
ground, you're not going to beat many
teams."
On defense, East got strong play
from linebacker Jerry -Hooper (10 tack
les) who had missed the last three games.
Defensive end Steve Vines was also a
major contributor.
ML Tabor
The Falcons stand at 2-3 overall,
but they have more than held their own
m-ainst city/county opposition (2-1).
However.Tabor dropped its first
game to a city team, Parkland, 26-14 last
Thursday. The Falcons two victories have
come against Glenn and North Foisyth.
But while they are currendy under
the .500 mark, coach Fred Gragg's group
has been very competitive, losing those
games by an average margin of eight
points.
In the Parkland loss, labor's scores
came on a 25-yard TD pass from Kyle
Riddle to Ben Traschoma and a three
yard run by Harry Harris.
"We have a good group of kids,"
said Gragg. "What has hurt us is a few
mental mistakes coming a key points dur
^ing those games. We can move the ball,
^we just haven't been able to score as
much as we would like to. Even so, 1 feel
that the team is very capable of winning
the majority of its remaining games."
Defense has been the strong suit for
the Falcons, despite an off-night against
Parkland. Prior to that game, the Falcons
hadn't been scored on in three games,
top defenders for ftbor are tackle Kevin
Jones, linebacker Arthur Gaither and DB
James Griffin (two interceptions vs. the *
Mustangs).
On Offense, tailback Bernard Cole
has been a major factor and so have quar
terbacks Marquis Samuels, Reggie Hunt
and Riddle.
Glenn
The Bobcats founds themselves in a
hole early and that set the tone for a 28
14 loss to Burlington Williams.
BW jumped on Glenn from the start
and led 22-0 early in the second quarter.
The 'Cats, however, responded with two
touchdowns in the fourth quarter to close
the gap.
QB Stephon Brown fired a 40-yard
touchdown strike to Denorris Cloud and
Aaron Boyd scored on a five-yard run.
"We did manage to come back
within one touchdown of the lead," said
A1 Hook*, Glenn coach. "But we gam
bled ana were hurt by an interception that
ted to Burlington's final touchdown.**
Reynolds
Overcoming a big lead just wasn't
in the cards for the Demons as they
dropped a 27-12 decision to Greensboro
Grimsley.
,r Grimsley wasted little time in tak
ing control of the contest. By the half,
they held a commanding 20-6 lead.
"We moved the ball but we weren't
able to close the gap," said James
Alexander, Demons coach. "They had
too much of a cushion for us to do that
But I was pleased with our defense in the
second half. We had two good stands that
kept them from putting more points on
the board." ?' ' : ' ,
Demons quarterback Napoleon
Davis had a hand in both of his team's
scores, throwing for two touchdowns.
Davis hit Torian Roseboro with a 55-yard
toss for the first score. In the second half
he connceted with Thomas Pannell for a
35-yard score.
Parkland
The Mustangs finally broke into the
win column when they downed Mt.
Tabor, 26-14. Parkland took a 12-6 lead
into the locker room at the half, then shut
the door on Ifebor to win comfortably.
"What stood out for us," explained
Larry Lewallen, Parkland assistant coach,
" is that we didn't beat ourselves like we
had in earlier games."
The Mustangs took to the airways
in the first half for their scores. QB Con
cho Brown hit Corey Wardlow for a 51
yard TD pass in the first quarter. In the
next quarter, he hooked up with Leander

Baldwin for a 30-yard score.
Baldwin burned the Falcons again
in the third quarter with a 61-yard TD
run. Brown passed to Greg Lynndsey for
the conversion.
Brown added the final TD for the
Mustangs when the scored on a quarter
back sneak.
Darryl Boyd and Androne Hackett
led Parkland 's defensive unit that put the
stop on the Falcons in the second half.
North Forsyth
Vikings coach Darryl Napper is
puzzled these days. He's trying to figure
out how to get his team to play four, full
quarters of football.
He hasn't come up with any
answers as of yet In a 30-0 loss to Carv
er, his guys held their own through the
first 30 minutes of play, trailing 6-0 at
half time.
But the second half was a different
story.
"Depth has been a problem for us,"
said Napper. "But I was pleased with
how we played in the first quarter. If I
can get them to play that way in the sec
ond half, we're going to win some ball
games."
West Forsyth
The Titans got the production they
needed up front which resulted in win
No. 1 of the season, 1 28-12 triumph over
South Rowan.
West led 16-12 at the half, then
added an insurance TD in the fourth
quarter on a 50-yard pass from Brian
Mayers to Eric Stewart
The Titans broke on top 16-0 on
TD runs by DeCarlos West, who rushed
for 117 yards.
This win was really needed," said
A1 Kayler, West Forsyth coach. 44 Anytime
you score 28 points you know your
offensive line has done the job. Those
guys are awfully young, but as the weeks
go by, they get better and better."
Offensive linemen Jason Comatrer,
Rob Creel, Ryan Miller, Allen \tace and
E. Styers paved the way for the Titans*
offense to function effectively.
Defensively, the Titans came
through with the big plays when it mat- !
tered most. Late in the third quarter,
- South Rowan scored to cut WFs lead to_
22-18. On their next possession they .
were driving for what would have been
nhe go-ahead score. But the Titans
defense slammed the door on SR on a
fourth and two and crushed that scoring
drive. Joey Douglas, Curtis Pope and
Maurice Kennedy (one interception)
were the top defenders for West
MA1>ig difference for us now is that
we finally got all of our players back,"
said Kayler. Nose guard Chris Allison
returned to the lineup after missing three
weeks with a bad ankle and QB Mayers
is back after spending two weeks with
the varsity.
