Thursday, October 21, 1971 PAGE TWO Steve Morgan Named Blue Devil "Player Of The Week" Steve Morgan, who gave it all he had in a losing cause against the Pisgah Bears, has been named Brevard’s “Play er of the Week” by the Blue Devil coaching staff. “Steve’s outstanding perform ance in an otherwise poor effort was the one bright spot about the entire Pisgah game,” stated Coach Ed Emory, ‘And he cer tainly deserves a lot of credit for hanging in there and con tinuing to give his best long after the actual outcome of the game had been decided.” “Even Coach Joe Compton of Pisgah praised Steve, say ing that he was the best per former on the field for ns that night, and our staff agrees with him,” Coach Emory concluded. One of the few Blue Devils to play both ways, Steve played offensive guard and defensive linebacker and did it all well against the victorious Bears last Friday night. 1 -■ - - - ■ --1!

Kickoff is at 8:06. The Blue Devils were some what shattered by their 4<M) lacing at the hands of the Pis gah Bears at Canton last Friday, •But after all,” Coach Ed Emory stated, “The season didn’t end last week in Canton. We’ve still got three games to go, and if they turn out like we want them to, maybe we’ll get mother crack at Pisgah in the jlayoffs,” he said. “We gave Pisgah a lot of scoring opportunities, and they took advantage of them like a good team should. Ac tually, they should have won about 14-0, because they just weren’t that much better than we were. But Friday night, they beat us 40-0, and they deserved to. We just didn’t do anything right,” he conclud ed. The loss to Pisgah didn’t ;ount in conference standings, jut the Erwin game this week ind the final season game with Enka on November 5th are >oth conference clashes. This joints up the importance of the Erwin game this Friday night it Leicester. “We’ll definitely show up for the game,” Coach Emory stated, “And I think we’ll be ready to play”.

The gainer played before over 8,000 fans who braved the elements to witness the contest, was hardly ever in doubt after the opening kickoff. Pisgah’s sturdy defense held the Blue Devils in check after they had received the opening kickoff, forcing Darius Holtzclaw to punt from his own 39. The Bears also experienced a little difficulty in moving the ball and they also had to kick, backing up the Blue Devils at their own 13 yard line. Again Brevard was forced to punt, this time giving Pisgah good field position at the Brevard 41, and from there, the Bears took over and started to roll. It took them only seven plays to score, with Mike Burnette blasting over from the five to score with only six minutes gone in the first period. Brevard took the kickoff, but on the first play from scrimmage, Pisgah recovered a Blue Devil bobble at the Brevard eight, and then Bur nette went over from there to quickly give the Bears a two touchdown advantage. After the kickoff, Brevard moved for its first first down of the game at their own 38, but another fumble gave the Bears possession at Brevard’s 28, and they were off and running again. Burnette went over from the three several plays later, Pat Smathers kicked the extra point, and the Pisgah lead stretched to 20-0. ^ The Bears struck again as time ran out in the first half when defensive safety Russ Conley, who played brilliant ly throughout the game on of fense and defense, intercept ed a Robert. Charles pass and ran it on in from 50 yards out. Smathers’ kick made the score 27-0 Pisgah at halftime. The Bears didn’t let up in the second half, taking the kickoff and driving 68 yards for their fifth touchdown in only ten plays. Conley did the honors from the ten and Smathers’ kick made it 34-0 still in the third quarter. Another pass interception led to Pisgah’s last touchdown in the fourth quarter, giving the Bears possession at the Brevard 18. Four plays later quarterback Blaine Van Hook hit end Larry Hipps perfectly in the end zone for 14 yards and the score. The extra point attempt was no good, but the Bears had it all wrapped up at 40-4. ' , j rfj The game was one of frustra tion for the Blue Devils, who could neither move the ball against Pisgah’s rugged de fense, nor could they stop Pisgah’s smooth running offen sive unit from moving almost at will. The win left Pisgah unde feated with a 7-0 record. While the loss was Brevard’s first and left the Bine Devils with a 6-1 record.

A brilliant defensive effort, paced by the outstanding per formances of guards Steve Whitmire and Alan Cassell, held NCSD to only 57 yards on the ground and minus 21 yards through the air to completely throttle any scoring attempts that the Bears might have mus tered. The Tigers got on the board early in the first period when Tony Gantt scored from the one. He then booted the extra point to give Rosman a 7-0 lead. The torrid Tigers scored twice more in the second period, once on a twelve yard pass from Jimmy Hall to Ralph Johnson, and again on a two, yard run by Weldon Whitmire. Gantt kicked one extra point, but a try for a two-pointer failed, leaving the score 20-0 Rosman at halftime. Jimmy Earl McCall gave the Tigers their fourth and final score in the third period on a one yard run, and Tony Gantt concluded the sewing by kicking the extra point, making the final score 27-0. “We played one of our best defensive games of the year against NCSD, and I’m just very pleased with the overall per formance of our entire team,” stated Coach Lee Powell. “We have an open date this week, but we’re working real Brevard College 1971 Cross-Country Schedule Date Opponent Time Where 20-21 — Vacation 27 — Wingate_ 4:00 Away Nov. 2 — Milligan ___ Away 6 — Regional Meet_ Away 13 — National Meet_ Away BREVARD COLLEGE SOCCER SCHEDULE Date Opponent Time Where ' Oct. 26 — Montreat-Anderson_3:80 Away Oct. 30 — Dekalb_2 :00 Home Nov. 1 — King —.»-2:80 Away Let Us Do Your Job Printing hard to get ready (or Mt Holly next week, on Friday, October 29th,” be said. “That will be our last game of the season, but we’re work ing on scheduling a game to be played the first week In No vember.
