Hooper scores four touchdowns to lead North to 28-12 win WitK By SAM DAVIS THE CHRONICLE Sporti Editor North Forsyth tuned up for play in the Metro 4-A Conference by taking a 28-12 i victory over West Forsyth in junior varsity I football last Thursday night. Cedric Hooper scored all four North j Forsyth touchdowns and rushed for 148 j yards on seven carries. He also returned the J opening kickofT to boost the Vikings to an J early 8-0 lead. But West Forsyth capitalized on three first-half turnovers by North Forsyth to jump to a 12-8 halftime lead. However, the Titans couldn't hold up in the second half as North scored three unanswered touch downs to improve to 3-2 overall. Coach Gene Bowles of North said the victory was a big one for his team as it pre pares to defend last season's conference championship. "Offensively, it was pretty much the Cedric Hooper show," Bowles said. "The first half was close because we made it close after we took the 8-0 lead. It's really hard on you when you oniy get seven plays in a half of football." But in the second half, the Vikings were able to hold on to the football and relied on the running of Hooper to take the victory. The Vikings held West on the Titans first possession of the second half and Hooper went 65 yards on an off-tackle play to put the Vikings on top by a 14-12 score. North held again on the next series and the Vikings drove in for the touchdown, with the score coining on a 38-yard run by Hooper. Kyle Kiser threw to Phillip Scales for the two-point conversion to make the score 22-12 late jn the third quarter. North adde<4*the final touchdown mid way through the fourth quarter on Hooper's 16-yard run to round out the scor ing. Hooper increased his total to six touch downs this season.. "Our offensive line did a great job," Bowles said. "We ran a lot of tackle traps and our tackles Brook Sargeant and T.W. Davis did a good job." The Vikings' defense also came through with clutch play. "Our defense went out and got a lot of three-and-outs," Bowles said. "That changed the game." Bowles said he was pleased to get a win heading into conference play. The Vikings' two losses both came by four points, to (undefeated) Carver and Mount Tabor. "I feel pretty good about where we are," Bowles said. "We've had our ups and downs. In the Mount Tabor game we didn't move the ball offensively. At times we've had great offensive production, but we've made turnovers. If we don't turn it over 1 think we'll do well down the stretch. "We've got some kids with break-away speed. Now we're concentrating on control ling the football and not making turnovers." | Grier, Scales lead Indians Pee Wees to 29-14 win over Packers Andrew Grier and Dwight Scales scored two touchdowns each and the Tiny Indians Pee Wees, celebrating homecoming, took a 29-14 victory over the Pfafftown Packers last Saturday at Ray Agnew Field. Scales put the Indians on the scoreboard first when he took a handofT and ran 60 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Erick Eaton kicked the extra point for an 8-0 advantage. The Packers came back after they blocked an Indian punt to close the gap to 8-7. But the Indians came right back on a three-yard run by Grier on a quar terback keeper to extend their lead to 15-7 after Charles Rashwan ran in the extra point. Grier added his second touch down when he kept the ball after a fake and scampered around left end for a 28-yard score. The extra point failed, but the Indians led 21-7. The Packers answered with a three-yard touchdown run after a long drive and then added the extra point to close the gap to 21 14. But the Indians iced the game when Scales broke four tackles on his way to a 41-yard touchdown run and Eaton's PAT made the final score 29-14. Overall, Coach Johnny Ligons said his team played well. "The special teams played well with exception of the blocked kick," he said. "The kickoff team gave the offensive team good field position. Penalties really hurt the team offensively and defensively." Titans squeeze out tough 6-0 victory over Vikings Junior Midgets ? The Lewisville Titans Junior Midgets .took a 6-0 lead early in the second quarter and then held off the Tiny Vikings to take a 6-0 victory last Saturday. The Titans took advantage of excellent field position early in the game and also got a break on what could have been a costly turnover. After stopping the Vikings on downs, Gratez Sansbury took a Viking punt and fumbled it away. However, Jordan Lloyd fell on the ball to allow Lewisville to main tain possession. Some three plays later quarter back Chris Paul passed to Sansbury for a 34-yard touchdown pass to give the Titans all the points they would need in the game. The Titans continued to play outstanding defense and prevent ed the Vikings from mounting any serious scoring threats. But Lewisville also ran into a stingy Viking defense and was unable to put any more points on the score board. Pitts runs for 1 TD, passes for another to lead Vikings Pee Wees Jamar Pitts ran for one touch down and passed for another to lead the Vikings' Pee Wees to a 12 6 victory over the Lewisville Titans.

The Vikings vic tory improved their record to 2-3. Coach Johnny Oglesby said his team hung tough in a stiff battle. "This was a strong defensive game," Oglesby said.

Brooks' 45-yard touchdown leads Vikings Junior Bantams past Titans Alton Brooks broke open the game with an elec trifying 45-yard touchdown run and Antonio Bonner hauled in a 40-yard touchdown pass from Marshall Cunningham to boost the Tiny Vikings' Junior Bantams to a 16-6 victory over the Lewisville Titans last Saturday.

The defense wa? led by Octavius Jordan, D'Angeio Gary, Kedrick Carpenter, Bonner and Larry Atkinson. Offensively, the Vikings also received a strong game from lineman Rashard Hillian Coach Willie Ashford said his team played tough football and that made the difference in the game. "This was a hard-fought game," Ashford said. "The Titans came prepared t play and it took us a while to come together and execute. But my hat is off to those kids that reached for the extra and pro duced." Jones scores three touchdowns to lead Vikings Junior Pee Wees Reshaud Jones scored on two long touchdown runs on offense and added another off of a fumble recov ery on defense to help lead the Tiny Vikings Junior Pee Wees past Lewisville, 33-0, last Saturday.

After a touchdown run by Darius Smith, Jones added another 60-yard touchdown run to extend the Vikings lead. Coach Steve Carter said his team put together its best offensive performance of the season. "Our offense was geared up to play hard this week," Carter said. "They did a great job. The defense also did a great job of holding them and scoring a touchdown." The Vikings, who improved to 5-0, will travel to the South Fork Panthers on Saturday (Oct. 11). wh hamu mall blvd.
