By 21-12 Margin
Eagles Are Beaten
By Northern Nash
Warren County's
Eagles dug themselves
a first-quarter hole on
two offensive miscues
and never pulled them
selves out as they drop
ped a 21-12 decision to 4
A Northern Nash in the
season-opener for both
teams here Friday
night.
Coach Bill Frazier's
charges were jolted on
the opening kickoff
when running back
Derrick Davenport
fumbled the ball with
Northern Nash recover
ing deep in Eagle terri
tory.
Moments later Julius
Jones ducked into the
endzone to cap a 15-yard
run. The kicking at
tempt for extra point
failed.
The visitors were
back in business on
Warren County's next
offensive series, which
failed to produce a first
down. Quarterback An
thony Russell, back to
punt, had the ball block
<»d and Northern Nash
recovered in the shadow
of the endzone.
Reggie Ricks, North
ern's leading rusher
with 102 yards on 23
carries, plunged over
from a yard out to in
crease the lead. Quar
terback Sam Vines
made the count read 14-0
when he tossed a two
pointer to Anthony
Marshman.
Following a scoreless
third quarter, the
Greene Top Rusher
The top ground gainer in N. C. State's 4M
season opening win over Ohio University
Saturday was former Warren County High
School sensation Joe Greene.
Greene, playing running back behind Joe
Mcintosh and Vince Evans, gained 122 yards
on 15 carries for an 8.7 play average and
scored a touchdown.
Greene is expected to see action Saturday
night as N. C. State tackles unbeaten FurmaA
in Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh.
Eagles got further
behind when Vines hit
Gerald Sumler on a 30
yard pass play that got
six more points on the
board. The point after
kick was good.
For the night, North
ern had 146 yards on the
ground and 72 yards
through the air as they
avenged an upset loss to
the 3-A Eagles last year
in Nash County.
Warren County made
the score respectable
thanks to the scoring
combination of Anthony
Russell and Wayne
Durham. Russell hit
Durham with a 20 yard
scoring strike, and
Durham, a six-foot
senior end, grabbed a 15
yard Russell pass in the
endzone to complete the
scoring.
The Eagles high
powered running attack
bogged down, with
Warren County netting
but 71 yards on the
ground. Through the air
the Eagles picked up 115
yards as Russell went 7
for-6 for the night.
Frazier had high
praise for Durham, who
was named the out
standing player on both
offense and defense.
Russell was commend
ed for his demonstrated
ability to lead the team.
"Randy Jordan, a 14
year-old freshman, had
a solid game at defen
sive cornerback,"
Frazier noted.
"The turnovers killed
us," Frazier said. "You
can't win with play like
that."
The Eagles will try for
their first win Friday
night when they travel
to Northampton West
for their first of two
meetings this season.
This game, to be played
on the Gumberry field at
8 p. m., will not count in
the conference stand
ings.
