Football Squad
Norlina
Takes Win
Over Davie
Warren County Schools may
not have opened, but the school
football season has, as the Nor
lina Blue Waves won their first
victory of the season at Wil
liam R. Davie.
The first and second quarters
were tough defensive battles be
tween a Davie line reputed to be
the third largest in the con
ference, and a Blue Wave de
fense led by Shearln, Hicks,
Martin and Richardson.
Norlina received the Initial
kick-off, but was forced to punt.
The Davie Devils returned the
ball for short yardage, but then
a fumble recovered by Nor
Una's Eddie Long put the Waves
In control again.
As neither team seemed to be
able to run with the ball for
any significant gain, both Nor
lina and Davie took to the air,
but tight pass defenses and many
near-interceptions kept the ball
on the ground.
Late in the second half, ac
tion picked up when Norlina's
A1 Floyd called for afair catch,
but was brought to the ground
nonetheless. Gaining 15 yards
on this penalty, Norlina follow
ed up with a breathtaking 20
yard run by Mike Mulchi. Un
fortunately, a clipping penalty
was called on the play, and
Floyd, in an effort to gain 1st
down yardage, bombed a long
pass to prime receiver Louis
Pitchford, which was incom
plete, and nearly intercepted.
The half ended with no score
for either team.
The third quarter was again
a defensive duel, until, with
less than two minutes remain
ing, Richardson and Pitchford
advanced the ball to a position
where A1 Floyd, after a healthy
run, was able to cross the goal
line, and give Norlina the edge,
6-01 Davie struck back in the
4th however, when a smash
ing 40 yard run ending in a
TD, and a successful run across
the line for the extra point,
gave the Devils what might well
have been a winning 7 to 6
score.
Again, with less than two min
utes to go, Floyd began the
winning drive from the 50 yard
line, as an aerial play to Pitch
ford gained 25. Kimball and
Shearln carried for 1st down
yardage, and Norlina's Jerry
Foley ground out another 7.
But It was again A1 Floyd who
crossed the line by running
the end and gave the Waves their
12-7 victory edgel <
