Carver JV from page Bl Taylor said his team's offensive explosiveness was the key. "We have three kids back there who can go the distance anytime they touch the football," Taylor said. "When our line opens holes for them we're going to have a play. Today they did that." After scoring on its first pos session, the Yellowjackets increased their lead to 16-0 with 5:58 to play in the first half. Williams scored from 11 yards out on an option and Anthony added the extra point. Carver increased its lead to 22 0 on Anthony's interception return with 4:14 to play in the third quarter. Parkland answered with a touchdown to close the gap to 22-8. Tamont Williams hauled in a 77-yard reception from Rashawn Jordan on a halfback option pass. Abraham Watson added the two-point conversion. Parkland sealed the win when Williams sneaked in from two yards out. The touchdown was set up by a bad I snap on a Park land punt attempt. Carv er added its final touch down on Charles Rus sell's 85-yard run with 1:02 left in the game. Although the Yellowjack ets had one of their better offensive show ings of the sea son, Taylor said the team's strength is its defense. "The defense has been the team's strong suit," Taylor said. "They shut out North and Reynolds early in the season and they've played well lately. The biggest thing we've been trying to overcome is our youth: We have a lot of big kids, but most of them have never played football before. Koryall Williams They were too big to play Pop Warner so this is really the first time they've stepped on the foot ball field." The Yellowjackets are idle this week and will get back down to business when they play Greens boro Smith next Thursday. Wake from page Bl down with no touchdowns. Caldwell attributes much of his team's suqcess to its new-found running attack and the play of Sankey, a fifth-year senior who spent most of his first four seasons in the program as a reserve. Because of Sankey's versatility Caldwell has gone to an offensive attack built around the option. "That's something we had been missing over the years," Caldwell said, referring to his team's run ning game. "We've been in situa tions where we needed to have to run (the ball) to eat up the clock." With quarterback Matt Kuk lick behind center the past four seasons the Deacons had the pro totype dropback quarterback but lacked much when it came to run ning the football - particularly the option attack. Sankey had moder ate success as Kuklick's backup, but has emerged as a standout in the new scheme with emphasis on running the ball. "Ben is really making progress and getting a good feel for the sys tem," Caldwell said. "He's a guy who hasn't gotten many snaps before this season and we really didn't know what he was capable of doing. But he's smart and he makes yOu look good as a coach. I think he's going to be really good when he gets a feel for what we're , doing." Although Rutgers came into the game with a defense ranked No. 96 in Division I-A, Wake For est wasn't unable to run roughshod over them in the game's opening minutes. "Rutgers gave us problems," Caldwell said. "But I'm not com plaining because we won the game." Kane, another fifth-year senior, also had another outstanding game. Kane finished with 120 yards on 34 carries. "He's a guy who can do a lot of things for us," Caldwell said. ."He gave us real quality play and showed a lot of individual leader ship." The Deacons will need to get good play from Kane and Sankey if they expect to upset Maryland on Saturday, when the teams square off in an ACC battle at Groves Stadium. "We have to get better against a Maryland team that has really been playing well," Caldwell said. Photos by Bruce Chapman Tailback Morgan Kana goat airborne for a Wake Forest touchdown.

Peoples had another sterling performance, giv ing the Yellowjackets more than 200 all-purpose yardage, including a 68-yard touchdown reception from Brayboy. Gregg rushed for 94 yards and Brayboy was five of 11 for 137 yards. ? "The thing for us right now (is that) Lashun has to do so much for us," Wilkes said. "Last year we had four guys in the backfield who could go the distance at any time. This year we don't have as many weapons. We need some guys to step up and play better. We've got to get a couple more running backs to step up. We have other good running backs, but they haven't produced the way we need them to produce." Carver, which is 5-2 overall and 2-0 in the conference, takes this week off before getting back into conference play next week. Wilkes said the Yellowjackets need to come back focused and ready to take their games to another level. "We're still not playing up to par," Wilkes said. "We look for perfection and we want to play as close to that as possible. Right now we're getting better. We want to be peaking around the end of the sea son." Wilkes was recently named the Carolina Panthers' High School Coach of the Month. Wilkes and a guest will travel to Charlotte next Sunday for the Panthers' game against the New Orleans Saints. He will be honored at halftime and receive a plaque from the Panthers. "It's a great honor and I'm proud that I can represent Forsyth County," Wilkes said. "I'm grate ful to all the people who have helped contribute to my success at Carver High School."
