arrenton Opens Season
ith Grid Battle At Apex
Friday Night
Tilt To Give
Jackets Test
An inexperienced Warrentou
team will be battling possible
stage fright and a Class AA
team Friday night, when it
raises the curtain on its 1962
gridiron season at Apex.
Coach Preacher Parker's
Warrenton team, strong of
manpower but short on exper
ience, should get a strong test
from the Apex club, which fin
ished last year's season with
a 7-3 record after dropping
their opener to Warrenton,
13-7.
"We won't know what kind
of a team we will have until
this game is over," Parker
said. "With a victory Friday
night, we could go on to have
a fine season."
Cause of most of the former
Wajte Forest quarterback's
concern is an untested for
ward wall. Four of the starting
seven linemen are lacking in
experience, and the way the
untested linemen perform on
Friday night will be the key
to the outcome, Parker admits.
"We have a Fine nucleus for
our line in Billy Rogers (195
pound center! and Ricky Eth
eridge and Roddy Drake have
both proven themselves as
capable performers," Parker
says.
From end to end, Warren
ton's starting line will average
170 pounds and its backfield
will average 165 pounds. Par
ker says the 1962 edition will I
probably be as powerful as ?
last year's backfield which con
tained two players who are
now college performers. "We
will fall a bit short of last
year's speed," he admits.
Slated to get the starting
nod in the backfield Friday
night are Billy Benson at
quarterback, John Coleman and
A1 Blaloek at the halfback
posts and Steve Clark at full
back.
Parker has indicated that j
this year's club will not rely
on its passing as heavily as did
the 1961 team. He says that
when the occasion arises, how
ever, he has a couple of boys
who will be able to toss the
ball.
Expected to start on the line
for Warrenton Friday night
will be Bill Perry and Drake
at ends, Macy Paynter and A.
C. Collier at the tackle slots,
Etheridge and Edward Shearin
at guards and Rogers at cen
ter.
Parker will have 30 boys
dressed for Friday night's con
test, slated to get underway at
8 p. m. Unable to dress for
the game will be Gilbert Mus
tian, tagged a pre-season start
er, but out for indefinate per
iod with an injury.
Friday night's contest will
be the first of nine games
scheduled by the locals this
season. Five of the contests
will be home games. Last year's
dub made Parker's coaching
S debut a highly successful one,
compiling a 9-2 record and ad
vancing to the district play
fepffs
Warrenton lost 12 seniors
from that club, but Parker is
confident over the chances of
year's squad due to re
serves reporting this year.
"The boys are bigger and
Stronger than last year and we
Cte anxious to see how they
perform under game conditi

TO CAPTAIN JACKETS?Much of the hope
Coach Preacher Parker has for an outstand
ing grid season rests on the shoulders of the
three senior lettermen shown above. Full
back Steve Clark, 175 pounds; center Billy
Rogers, 195 pounds; and guard Ricky Ether
idge, 150 pounds, should give Parker's inex
perienced club a measure of leadership. All
three, named co-captains for the 1962 season,
were starters on last year's championship
squad.
Norlina Stages Grid Debut
At Davie On Friday Night
Norlina's Blue Wave opens
its 1962 football Friday night
when it steps outside the Tar
Roanoke Conference for a con
test with William R. Davie's
Blue Devils.
Norlina, untested this sea
son and operating without the
services of triple-threat quar
terback Billy Fuller, will be
going against a team which
already has one game undei
its belt.
Davie came out on the shor!
end of a 31-0 score last Fri-|
day night as Elm City's Bears!
made its 11-man football de
but a smashing success.
Davie had one bright spot. I
in the game as back Jessie |
Bryant picked up 110 of j
Davie's 120 rushing yards.'
Davie had nine first downs j
to only four for Elm City, but
long-gainers and the conver
sion of Davie errors spelled
the difference between the two
teams. i
Elsewhere in the Tar-Roan
oke Conference, Weldon's Tor
nadoes host I.ouisburg in a
battle that is expected to shed
considerable light on confer
ence strength this season.
Weldon erred its way to a
20-0 loss at the hands of
Scotland Neck last Friday
night. Charles Pierce was the
workhorse for the Tornadoes
in their loss, picking up 60
yards in 15 carries.
Louisburg and Nashville j
played a bruising first quarter
last Friday pight, then slowed j
down for three quarters and j
had to settle for a 6-6 dead-'
lock. Bob Hobgood pushed
across Louisburg's lone score
from nine yards out during
the first quarter.
Franklinton, also a member
of the Tar-Roanoke Confer
ence, bowed to Benevenue in
its opener, 13-0. Oxford Or j
phanage, a new member of the j
conference after stepping!
down from the AAA ranks at
the end of last season, gets a
chance to test its strength Fri
day night when it encounters
Nashville in a game that will
be used as a yardstick by loop
coaches.
