first overtime. Glenn lost three
yards on three plays from the 10
on its ensuing possession, result
ng in a 27-yard field goal
attempt by Shawn Morrison that
was on-line, but short, forcing a
second OT with Parkland taking
over at the 10.
The Mustangs hit paydirt on
second down when Shaun Willi
ford outjumped the defensive
back in the end zone to grab
quarterback Mike Farrar's 24
yard (the Mustangs were penal
ized back to the 24 on first
down) pass and give Parkland an
18-12 lead. The PAT kick was
blocked.
Glenn faced four downs
from the 10 to score and either
win the game or force another
overtime. They did the latter
when Darnell Payne scored on
fourth down from the three on a
tremendous second effort when
it appeared he might be stopped
short by Lamont Wilson. Morri
son^ kicked for the winning
extra point was no good, send
ing Parkland to the 10-yard line
for the third overtime.
A pass interference penalty
in the end zone gave the Mus
tangs the ball on the five and
Farrar bolted into the end zone
on ft sneak for a 24-18 lead. He
added the deciding extra point
on another sneak.
The Bobcats kept their
hopes alive when Lamonte
Stephens scored on a controver
sial 6-yard sweep on fourth
down to pull Glenn within 26
24. It appeared Stephens never
broke the plane of the end zone
and if he did the ball never
crossed the goal line, but the line
judge ruled otherwise and the
touchdown counted, setting the
stage for the crucial extra point

attempt.
Stephens swept right, but
^vas stopped by Julian Moore
and James Rumph as the Park
land players bolted onto the field
in celebration while Stephens
sobbed face down on the turf
surrounded by dazed teammates.
"They had success off tackle
and on the sweep, so we brought
our safety on the blitz and made
the running back go deeper than
he wanted on the extra point
attempt," said a relieved and
jubilant Scott Humphrey, Park
land's head coach. "The safety
didn't make the tackle but he
made the runner go just deep
enough to let the other guys
make the tackle."
"I saw two teams that want
ed to win very badly tonight,"
Glenn coach Eddie Hawley said.
Eric Ketchie's interception
setup Parkland^fTrsf touch?
down in regulation, a 70-yard
aerial bomb from Farrar to
Williford on first down that gave
the Mustangs a 6-0 lead as the
conversion failed.
Glenn tied the contest early
in the second quarter on a 18
yard sweep by Stephens, who
led all rushers with 107 yards on
17 carries. "He is a tough kid
with a great attitude," Hawley
said. "He plays hard each
game."
The game remained tied
until the 8:21 mark of the fourth
quarter when Parkland's Ronald
Cook bulled over from the 1
yard line on a quarterback sneak
to cap a 67-yard drive that put
the Mustangs ahead, 12-6.
The teams traded the ball
either on downs or by turnovers
before Glenn tied the game with
1:04 to play on a 9-yard blast
over the left side by Payne. The
extra point kick for the victory
was blocked by Wilson.
"Extra points are rarely
blocked for the outside,"
Humphrey said. "We overloaded
on our left side and got it. Three
can't block four on that over
load."
"The block was a good play
on their part," Hawley said. "We
knew the pressure would come
up the middle. It is to Parkland's
"credirthatTh^y-blocked it."
The Bobcats had a big
advantage in rushing, outgaining
Parkland 188 to 53 behind
Stephen's game-high 107 yards
and 44 from Willie Gore and 40
from Payne. Parkland won the
air war. passing for 111 yards to
50 for Glenn. Farrar was 7 for
20 passing for 125 yards. He
was intercepted twice. Williford
hauled in six passes for 131
yards.
Like Marino, Hauser Knows Who Really Deserves Credit
from page 19
knows who really deserves the
credit.
"No one is superstar and no
one can do it alone. The offen
sive line means a lot to me,"
Hauser said. "We all get along
and are friends. I get excellent
blocking from my offensive
line. I couldn't do what 1 do
without them."
It doesn't surprise Mount
Tabor coach Lonnie Pulley that
Hauser is mature enough to
know his success is dependent
on the guys in the trenches.
"Walter makes the game
fun for the other players," Pul
ley said. "He is always smiling
and talking to everyone on the
team. He is very smart, an
honor student, humble and
never complains. When he has
a long run he always compli
ments the offensive line
because he knows how impor
tant they are to his success."
"Walter is a yes sir, no sir
kind of kid," Spartan assistant
coach Dennis Ring said, adding
with a laugh, "He is very nice
kid. He is so nice we might
have to put him on defense to
make him mean."
Opponents don't consider
Hauser nice and certainly don't
want him any meaner. And
they definitely don't want him
any faster. It is Hauser's speed
that confounds would-be tack
lers as they move in for the kill
only to be left, more times than
not, sprawled on the turf peer
ing up at the bottom of the
speedster's shoes fading into
the distance.
Hauser combined with
teammate Antoine Hughes, a
defensive back, cousin Art
Brown, a freshfnan starting
tailback on the Mount Tabor
varsity, and High Point
Andrews* Jacob Walker to fin
ish third in the nation in the
4x100 relay this past summer
at the Junior Olympics in Des
Moines. Iowa.
It is that kind of speed that
Hauser believes is his greatest
asset.
- "It allows me to get past
the block. And it means the
offensive line doesn't have to
hold its blocks quite as long for
me to get past the defense/'
said Hauser, adding that he
looks to his cousin Brown and
Detroit tailback Barry Sanders
for inspiration. But it is Tony
Dorsett-like peripheral vision
that may be Hauser's greatest
asset.
"Walter sees the whole
field when he is running the
ball," Pulley said. "He sees one
tackier while setting up anoth
er. He is very elusive and
makes people miss him on
tackles. He has natural, God
given talent."
Hauser was asked to
demonstrate his peripheral
vision by looking straight
ahead and describing what he
saw to his left and right with
out turning his head or moving
his eyes. His field of vision
was calculated to be about 160
degrees.
"I can see the whole field.
It's not something I've learned,
but rather a natural ability," he
said. "I just set up the blocks
and see what happens."
He makes it sound so sim
ple, but the truth is, those l#ng
runs are partially the result of
good blocking by the Spartan
offensive line. "You have to
ve good blocking to execute
a long run," Hauser explained.
For all his success and for
all the accolades heaped upon
him by his coaches and oppo
nents, it was surprising to hear
Hauser say he didn't enjoy
football until this y^ar, even
though he played Pop Warner
football in the past with the
Winston-Salem Rams.
"I didn't get into loving
football until this year," he
said. "This year I get to spend
time with my friends and team
mates and we all work well as
a team. It wasn't as much fun
until this year. I wanted to
grow out of Pop Warner and
get into high school."
Much to the dismay of rival
coaches and opponents.
