Aggie Kicker Carl Warrens rambles for some yardage after a bad snap
Aggies Celebrate Homecoming
With 30-22 Victory Over BC
BY SAMUEL G. PUR YEAR JR.
Chronicle Sports writer
On last Saturday in Greens
boro, in a sloppy contest, the North
Carolina A<?T Aggies withstood a
late Bethune Cookman rally to
defeat the Wildcats 30-22 in front of
23,636 homecoming spectators.
Both teams combined for 20
penalties totaling 173 yards, 10
fumbles and five interceptions.
Bethune Cookman jumped out
to an early lead.
They took the opening kickoff
and marched the length of the field
in only two minutes. Wildcat run
ning back Dereck Hall capped off
the drive for the Wildcats on a 46
yard dash to the endzone.
Midway through the first quar
ter, the Aggies forced Wildcat
punter Steve Kerrin to punt. Kerrin
botched a punt giving the Aggies
good field position. On. the very
next play, Aggie quarterback Adrian
Starks completed a 60 yard pass to
Rudy Artis for a touchdown to tie
the score at 7-7 with 4:40 remaining
in the first quarter.
After forcing a fumble, the
Aggies tried to connect on another
quick scoring opportunity but the
wildcats were ready. Starks tried to
complete a pass in the endzone but
had it intercepted by a Wildcat
defensive back.
The Aggies moved the ball at
will. They got the ball back after a
Wildcat punt and began their attack.
After almost giving the ball back to
the Wildcats on a fumble, Starks
completed his second touchdown of
the day, on a 17 yard pass to James
Bowden to give the Aggies a 14-7
lead.
Before the end of the first half,
the Aggies added another score on a
James White 27 yard scamper that
put the Aggies ahead for good. The
Aggies led ? 1-7 at halftime.
The Wildcats scored 15 unan
swered points in the fourth quarter
but couldn't catch the Aggies.
Winston-Salem native Sam
Hairston( Carver), had an outstand
ing game for the Aggies. Hairston, a
transfer from Albany State, had
three six tackles, three of which,
were sacks.
The Aggies next game will be
on next Saturday in Dover, DE
against a tough Delaware State
team.
Both teams are currently 3-1 in
the MEAC, tied in second place,
behind Florida A&M, which is 4-1
in the conference. NC A&T has the
best overall record in the MEAC at
7-1 but FAMU and Delaware State
are close at 6-2.

The one aspect that the Rams
have not faced in recent weeks has
been the big play capabilities by
their opponents special teams.
Pirates kickoff returner Terrence
Warren and punt returner Kevin
White are both ranked in the top
three in the CLAA. Warren returned
a kick for a touchdown earlier in the
season. "We are traveling to a place
that is certainly full of tradition,"
said Taylor. "They have a coach
that has always prepared his team
well, it will be a challenge."
The game will be played at
Bowman Gray Stadium with the
kick-off beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Rams Play Hampton
254.3 yards per gaqje. "We don't
:?J*ave all of our playtrs back. Our
QB Rovell McMillan, is playiqg
well but he's at about 80 percent,"
said Richardson. "It's always a
tough battle when some of your key
people can't play."
The Pirates have a player repre
sented in the top six, in 15 out 16
statistical categories kept by the
CIAA.
On offense, the statistics for
_ several starters are frightening.
Pirates junior running back,
tarlos Fleeks, is second in the
CIAA in rushing, averaging 122
yards per contest. Sophomore QB
Matt Montgomery is also in second
place in passing.
He is 109 for 204 fof 1,619
passing yards qq the seasoA. He has
also thrown 21 touchdowns com
pared with seven interception. His
.534 completion percentage is lead
ing the CIAA conference. Senior
wide receiver Shaun Parker is fourth
with 36 catches. Pirates sophomore
punter David Wideman is averaging
36.8 yards per kick.
Hampton spreads the talent
evenly on both sides of the ball. On
defense, Gareth Bonds and Melvin
Crawford are tied for first in the
CIAA in interceptions with seven.
Both Bonds and Crawford have
returned at least one for a touch
