I keyed the offensive line

productive game, leading
the attack with five
touchdowns and finish

Senn didn't carry the
whole load, however.
Pedro Barnes had 121

21 yards for the score.
"There's not a lot

almost at will. The game
where both teams combined to

Here's a recap of what tran
spired on a wide-open night of
football at the jayvee level last
Thursday night.
Lots of OT
The way this game was
play ed7 you'd think the Tell as
wanted to stay out all night and
play. It took all of four over
times for a winner to emerge.
But at last, Parkland prevailed,
32-26 over West Forsyth to win ,
its third straight contest.
Quarterback . Concho
Brown was the catalyst for the
victors. He had a hand in all of
the Mustangs, scoring, throwing
for two TDs and running for
three, including one in the OT
periods.
Top defenders for the Mus
tangs were tackle Androne
Hatchett and linebacker Jamie
Minton.
In overtime, each team gets
four downs to score from its
opponents' 10-yard line. If one
team scores and the other
doesn't, the game is over. If
both teams score, the game con
tinues until one team gets a lead
and prevents the other team
from scoring.
In this instance, neither
team could score on its first two
series of downs in the red zone.
'But on the third series, WF
broke the ice when DeCarlos
West scored on a four-yard run.
Then Brown ties the game for
Parkland by scoring on a fourth
down roll-out from four yards
out.
The Mustangs settled the
issue when Brown hit Eric
Parks with a six-yard touch
down toss.
"This was really a good
game for spectators," said Larry
^Lewallen, Parkland assistant
coach. "But we did get some
help in the third overtime when
West was called for pass inter
ference. That call gave us
scored on a quarterback sneak,
then hit Greg Lynndsey for the
PAT and an 8-0 lead. Brown hit
the TD jackpot again in the sec
ond quarter when he fined a 35
yard scoring strike to Michael
Berrier. Brown added another
TD later in the quarter when hp
scored on a roll-out to the right
side from 15 yards out, capping
a 63-yard drive.
The West Forsyth defense <
turned the tables on Parkland in
the second half, keeping them
out of the end zone for the final
two quarters.
The major change the
Titans made at the half was to
insert new faces into secondary,
which had been bumed by long
passes in the first half. Travis
McCune and West played major
roles in helping to shut down
Parkland 's air game in the sec
ond half. McCune had an inter
ception which set up one of
WFs scores.
"For us, the first half was
the worst we've had all season,"
said A1 Kayler, West Forsyth
coach. "So at the half, I told our
guys to just focus on what had
to be done. They responded
well to the challenge."
West finally got on the
board when Phil Piper raced 80
yards to paydirt with the open
ing kickoff in the third quarter.
Later in the quarter, Chad
Southern's four-yard TD run
closed the gapto 2U-14.
With one second left in reg
ulation, West pulled a rabbit out
of the hat with a last gasp 40
yard touchdown pass from
Brian Mayer to Brad Bovender
which tied the game at 20, forc
ing the overtime. Bovender
came up with the catch in the
right corner of the end zone
after the ball had been initially
tipped by Piper.
"We're extremely pleased
that our players never gave up,"
said Lewallen. "They hung in
there and battled. That's a sign
that we're maturing as a foot
ball team."
r\
' The Titans were clearly dis
appointed with the game's final
outcome. But for Kayler, the
way his team played was more
than satisfactory, even in defeat.
"I feel that we were win
ners regardless of the score,"
said Kayler. "Having a lot of 14
and 15-year old players on a
team that came back like they
j, I was just like a tennis
match. We would score,
then Glenn's offense would do
the same."
Carver's defense, while
never in danger of giving up
enough points for the Bobcats
to win, did find that Glenn
could move the ball on them.
Prior to last Thursday's
encounter, the Jackets' defense
hadn't been scored on in 18
quarters.
East Forsyth
A.C. Coleman broke free to
score a pair of touchdowns to
propel the Eagles to a 26-15
tirumph over North Forsyth.
Coleman's first TD came
on a 19-yard burst off tackle on
a trap play in the second quarter
to put EF in t-he lead, 12-9.
Prior to his run, the Vikings
held a 9-6 advantage.
However, NF bounced back
to regain the lead at the end of
the half on a long hail Mary
pass play. At interniission,
North led, 15-12. .. )
But that was the last time
that the Vikes would fyave the
edge. Shane Bonner gaye the
Eagles the lead for good when
he took the opening second half
"kick-off and raced 84 yards for
the TD. William Butler ran for
the PAT and East was back on
top, 20-15.
The score stayed that way
until midway through the fourth
quarter when Coleman sealed
the win with a 60-yard touch
down sprint.
"Our offensive and defen
sive lines really dominated for
us and the defense was super."
said John Pegram, East Forsyth
coach. "The offensive line was
especially good since we had to
play some new people because
of injuries and folk being
moved up to the varsity."
Ricky Godfrey and Andy
Brickey stepped in to do the job
up front for East. Defensively,
Derrick Reynolds and Curt
Wiiks were the prime contribu
tors.
The Eagles broke the ice
with the game's first score.
Jerry Hooper reached paydirt
from a yard out to cap a 60-yard
march. ?
Glenn
The Bobcats got the short
end of it in their 66-36 loss to
Carver. However, they did have
some exciting moments, thante
to running back Aaron Boyd. P
Boyd, who scored six
touchdowns to account for all of
Glenn's scoring, would have
had seven, but that TD was nul
lified because of a penalty. The
Bobcats prime runner scorched
Carver twice on long touch
down runs ? one was a 70
yarder from scrimmage, the
other was a 90-yard kick-off
return. For the game, Boyd had
250 yards rushing.
"It was a pretty wild
coach.
Mt. Tabor
The Spartans had their
chances but it just wasn't to be
as they fell 12-0 to Greensboro
Dudley.
Dudley scored all of its
points in the first half, but
wasn't able to generate any
thing else for the remainder of
the contest. %
Tabor miscues were the
prime factors in this defeat^
Both of Dudley's scores wer$:
set up by MT interceptions:;
"Defensively, we played ?
tremendous game," said Fred
Gragg, Mt. Tabor coach.;
"Offensively, we had three oif
four opportunities to score, but:
we just couldn't punch it in." -

"WE DON'T THINK
THEY SHOULD SMOKE"
That young people and smoking don't go
together has long been the position of the tobacco
industry. And the industry has recently
launched aggressive new programs with the
express purpose of putting cigarettes further
out of reach of young people. Here's what
we're doing:
? Supporting state laws that would
prohibit the sale of cigarettes to those
under the age of 18.
? Supporting state legislation to require
supervision of vending machines in
locations frequented by minors.
least 500 feet from any elementary, junior or
senior high school or children's playground .
? Sharply limiting the distribution of product
samples and premiums.
ITS THE
LAW
WE DO NOT SELL
TOBACCO PRODUCTS
TO PERSONS UNDER 18
To help retailers enforce state laws prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes to minors, we are providing a
sign like the one shown here for display
where cigarettes are sold. There is also a new
booklet available from The Tobacco Institute
for families with young children. It's called
"Tobacco: Helping Youth Say No." It helps
parents help their children resist peer
pressure to smoke. For a copy write to
R. j. Reynolds Tobacco Company
RO. Box 1207, Winston-Salem, NC 27102.
R. J. Reynolds believes thaJ these new tobacco
industry programs will help young people
understand that smoking is NOT part of growing up.
