Baker propels team
in win against Utes
QB finds groove
in second half
BY DANIEL MALLOY
SPORTS EDITOR
ESPN Classic, this wasn’t.
It started with a missed chip-shot
field goal by Connor Barth. Then he
missed another, this time from 49
yards. Then a pass deflected off the
hands of tight end Richard Quinn,
popped up in the air and went to the
wrong-colored jersey.
Heading into halftime with a slim
three-point advantage Saturday,
the North Carolina offense had
plenty of question marks.
Answer: Matt Baker.
The stat line doesn’t look that
great (16-for-31, two touchdowns,
two picks), but Baker made the
plays, found the receivers at the
right times and carried the strug
gling offense on his back.
It started halfway through the
third quarter when Baker floated
a third-and-eight pass to a triple
covered Jon Hamlett, who some
how came down with a 16-yard
drive saver.
Three plays later Baker found
Mike Mason on the right sideline
for 12 yards and a first down.
The drive ended when Baker
made a he-couldn’t-have-placed-it
any-better toss to a streaking Wallace
Wright for a touchdown and a lead
the Tar Heels would not relinquish.
“(Baker) came up with enough
plays and the receivers made
enough plays to help us win the
ballgame,” said head coach John
Bunting. “We got to work harder
now to get this run game in the
right direction.”
Indeed, the ground game could
not get off the ground Saturday,
with running backs Cooter Arnold
and Barrington Edwards averag
ing a combined 2.7 yards per carry.
Baker was crucial.
On the next drive, he found
Mason again for a leaping 40-yard
strike down to the one yard line.
Later, he hit Jesse Holley on a quick
slant that Holley turned into a 43-
yard score and all of a sudden there
were 31 points on the board.

DTH/WHITNEY SHEFTE
UNC quarterback Matt Baker surveys the field during Saturday's 31-17
victory against Utah. Baker's passing down the stretch sealed the win.
And Baker even had a little help
from the refs.
With the Tar Heels clinging to
a three-point lead, Baker had a
miscommunication with wideout
Jarwarski Pollock and fired a pass
directly to Utah defensive back
Eric Weddle, who waltzed into
the end zone, giving the Utes an
apparent lead.
The Tar Heels dodged the bul
let, however, as Utah was flagged
for roughing the passer, taking
away the pick and the points.
“I came to the sideline thinking
it was an interception and that was
going to turn the game around,”
Baker said. “But I saw a glimmer
of hope in Coach Bunting’s and a
couple of other people’s eyes on the
sideline, and then I turned around
and saw the flag there.”
That play set up a UNC touch
down that made the score 24-14, all
but putting the game out of reach
for the Utes, and completing the
dramatic second half turnaround.
“When stuff like that goes wrong
—a ball bounces the wrong way,
like on the interception, and missed
field goals happen, this offense
knows it’s good,” Baker said.
“It’s not going to get down when
stuff like that happens. And that’s
what it did today. It bounced back.”

Katrina search
comes to halt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS The search
for Hurricane Katrina victims has
ended in Louisiana with a death
toll at 964, but more searches
will be conducted only if someone
reports seeing a body, a state offi
cial said Monday.
State and federal agencies have
finished their sweeps through the
city, but Kenyon International
Emergency Services, the private
company hired by the state to
remove the bodies, is on call if
any other body is found, said Bob
Johannessen, a spokesman with
the state Department of Health
and Hospitals.
“There might still be bodies
found for instance, if a house
was locked and nobody able to go
into it,” Johannessen said.
Last week, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
said it had completed its role in
the search because its specialties
were no longer needed, includ
ing getting to bodies in attics or
other hard-to-reach places or in
buildings that may be structurally
unsound.
FEMA did nearly 23,000 thor
ough room-to-room searches in
New Orleans with about a dozen
teams of emergency workers.
Mississippi’s death toll remained
at 221.
There were signs of normalcy
in the city Monday five weeks
to the day since Katrina slammed
into the Gulf Coast.
St. Andrew the Apostle elemen
tary school was the first Catholic
school reopened in New Orleans.
A week ago, residents were allowed
to return to the school’s Algiers
neighborhood of 57,000 people

across the Mississippi River that
largely escaped flooding.
“My heart is just bursting,” said
teacher Jewell McCartney, fighting
back tears as she welcomed back
her class of sixth-graders. “I just
want to give them all a hug.”
Archdiocese officials said their
schools also were reopening in
areas outside the city.
Some public schools in nearby
parishes also opened Monday, but
public schools in New Orleans
remain closed. Officials are devel
oping a plan to reopen some by
November, depending on envi
ronmental, health and safety con
cerns.
As the halls of St. Andrew
sprang back to life, administra
tors were keenly aware that each
student came back with anew set
of life experiences —some worse
than others.
There also were new faces to
welcome. As of Friday, 82 new stu
dents had registered and several
other were on a waiting list for the
school with a normal enrollment of
about 800 students.
“I’m thrilled to see so many stu
dents, and I’m thrilled to see them
in classrooms where we feel they
have a place to be,” Principal Sybil
Skansi said. “We just know the
kids, whose smiles we saw today,
are also hurting.”
The school sent home an “assess
ment sheet” for every student, to
get a handle on each child’s situ
ation. Some have damaged homes
or may have lost family members.
Some may be displaced or have
friends and relatives staying with
them.
The school will hold grief groups
to help students who need it.
