Reynolds JVs use fumble, stingy defense to defeat Carver 6-0 : By SAM DAVIS THE CHRONICLE Reynolds exorcised one of its demons by defeating Carver 6-0 in a junior varsity game. The Demons held the Yellow jackets scoreless throughout the game with a defense that had only given up only one touchdown through its first three games. RJR didn't score a touchdown either, but the Demons didn't need one after Maurice Wright picked up a fumble by Carver quarter back Chris Gray and rambled in for a 28-yard touchdown. Carver had several opportuni ties to even the score but was hurt by fumbles at inopportune times. ' Monte Anthony of Carver led all rushers with 49 yards on only six carries. He had several big runs, but two were wiped out by penalties and another ended with a fumble. Meanwhile Reynolds' offense used its grind-it-out style to eat up the clock and shorten the game. The Demons took to the air only once in the game, on a 20-yard pass play from quarterback Chris Key to tight end Joe Correll. a That play sealed the fate for i Carver because it allowed the i Demons to maintain possession after being pinnned in deep in < their own territory late in the i game. RJR managed only 85 | yards of offense in the game, but i that was enough to hold off the ! Yellowjackets. I Coach Pat Mitchell of I Reynolds said the Demons didn't do anything special to shut out the < Yellowjackets. < "We just played what we nor mally play," Mitchell said. "It was i scramble defense that we like to ise to put pressure on the offense lp front. "We don't like to use the big lefensive linemen," Mitchell tdded. "What we try to do is get people up field and redirect the ootball. We depend on our defen sive linemen to make more plays :han anyone else on the football leld." The leader for the Demons' lefensive unit was James Broyhill, who had several key stops. Wright See Reynolds on M ; - ' ' ; . '. ' vv. ?

Preparation meets opportunity for Demons in big upset victory FROM THE PRESS BOX ^ Sam Davis Local high school football received a shot in the arm when Reynolds came through with one of its biggest wins, in recent seasons. The Demons' varsity team went into David Lash Stadium as a considerable underdog. However, by the time the dust set tled, RJR escaped with a 31-28 victory over the defending state 3-A champions. Reynolds pulled off its upset by execut ing its game plan of ball control on offense and capitalizing on three early Yellowjacket mistakes. Carver fumbled away the football on three of its first four possessions, and Reynolds took advantage of each to score 17 points without having to cross the 50 yard line. Someone once summed up the word "luck" in sports as when preparation meets opportunity. That certainly was the case for the Demons in the turnover category. The Demons pounced on the Yellowjackets' mis cues and then put points on the board each time to grab the early momentum. ?

By SAM DAVIS THE CHRONICLE ' " North Forsyth's junior varsity found some answers for its ailing offense and played Mount Tabor to a standoff in a nonconference football game Monday ? night. i Coach Gene Bowles' team showed marked improvement despite the fact that it hadn't practiced in nearly a week. The Vikings' practice was canceled last Wednes day because of the rains that came in from Hurricane Floyd. The game against Mount Tabor was then postponed until Monday. "We went a long span without being on the field," Bowles said. "But we got here Monday and did a lot of walk-through and preparation. For no more practice than we had, the kids really played well." The Vikings fought back from a 21-6 deficit early in the third quarter to force a 28-28 tie. The score was 6-6 at halftime. Mount Tabor returned the second half kickoff to take a 16-4 lead.

Coach Chuck Hayes of Dudley said his team responded well after the game was postponed last Thursday. "You never know which way a postponement will affect your team," Hayes said.

Dudley jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter on the strength of Hastye's fumble recov ery. Hastye got the touchdown on a 1-yard quarterback sneak.
