Harry Situation * ' * J " A. Playing Against One Another Was Nerve Wrecking For Coach and His Son By JEROME RICHARD Chronicle Sports Writer Football coaches and players are notorious for pregame prepara- ' tion. Tales abound of coaches work ing 20-hour days preparing for an opponent and- then sleeping in their offices, eager to start over again the next day. And it is nothing for play ers to spend countless hours practic ing for an upcoming season or game. But no amount of practice, preparation or planning could have prepared East Forsyth defensive line coach H. B. (Harry) Harris and his i son Harry III for what confronted ' them last Friday night. Coach Harris fiad the unenvi ?t able task of devising a defensive strategy to stop his son, the starting fullback for the highly-regarded Mount Tabor Spartanjs. The two men's emotions ran the gamm ft?? exhilaration to worry to relief as they talked Friday about what they expected that night and again Satur day after it was all over and the Spartans had won 42-20 behind Harry's 1 18 yards rushing. '**' /? "We couldn't stop him or their quarterback", said a groggy Coach Harri s Saturday morning, n ott n g that the Mount Tabor quarterback, Daniel Webster, was his son's long time neighborhood' friend and the two played Pop Warner football together. "I remember playing foot ? ball in the street with them," the coach recalled. "As far as last night's game, we didn't do a good ? job tackling. We are so young and just noj strong enough yet for this level." Butterflies fluttered in both Harris' stomachs before the game. "Before the kickoff I did get a little anxious and concerned tfecause alot of attention had been focused on the situation," Coach, 1 Harris said. "I didn't want Harry to perform badly and embarrass him self, or the family name," he added with a laugh. "After the game start ed it just became another game, though." Harry III was more nervous that usual heading into the game as the butterflies felt more the size of %irds fluttering in his stomach due to the increased pressure and atten tion. The glare of the spotlight was " intensified because Mount Tabor head coach Bob Sapp used to be a colleague of Coach Harris at East before taking the job it Mount Tabor. "I was more nervous than usual," Harry III said. "Coach Sapp and my teammates told me to relax, but 1 wanted to beat East and make my daddy proud. I "Once the game started I forgot he was over there, l never got tack led on their sideline, so I didn't see him until after the game." The Spartan running back didn't get tackled much at all, espe cially in the first half when he gaiijed 1 10 yards on just six carries. "As we walked off the field at the half. Coach (Joe Bill) El lender^ wife looked at mfc with a look like, 'Couldn't you do a better job stop ping your son'," Coach Harris said with a chuckle. "I thought daddy-'s defense would hit me and 1 wouldn't get much yardage; but our offensive line blocked well," Harry III said. The expedience, while unique, * is one that Coach Harris doesn't want to repeat any time soon. said. "I wouldn't want to do it week in and week out because there is too i - f. much pressure, especially for Harry.
