Wakelon Loses Close
Game to Orphanage
By Wayne Davis
Last Friday's Wakelon gridiron
game was a copy of two previous
losses, with the Bulldogs seeming
to be the best team on the field,
but coming up on the short end of
the score, 14-7. They stopped Ox
ford’s Red Devils cold, except for
two long plays, one a 45 yard punt
return to set up a score and the
other a 30 yard scoring pass. The
rest of the game was dominated by
Wakelon.
First Half
Perry Williams for the Red Dev
ils returned the opening kick 48
yards and almost broke into the
clear for a score. A stout Bulldog
defense held and Wakelon took
over on downs on their 10 yard
line.
From here Wakelon put on a dis
play of power running, marching
90 yards for the first score. This
drive featured the running of
Randy Creech and effective block
ing by the forward wall. Randy
carried the ball 14 times in this
drive and ground out 73 yards, the
last a one yard plunge for the
score. It was Randy for the extra
point and a 7-0 Bulldog lead.
Wakelon’s defense stopped Ox
ford Orphanage’s second attempt
with the ball, and the Red Devils
were forced to kick back to the
Bulldogs. Wakelon failed to
start another drive and booted
back to the Orphanage team. Ox
ford moved 55 yards for the tie,
scoring on a 30-yard pass from
Colenda to Harrison with Williams
kicking the extra point. The half
ended 7-7.
Second Half
Taking the second half kick, the
Bulldogs failed to move and ThuT
ston Debnam kicked to the Red
Devil 32. Oxford started a drive
which moved to the Bulldog 23 be
fore Jerry Brayboy picked off a
Colenda pass.
The Bulldogs started a move of
their own, but this was killed by a
15 yard penalty. An exchange of
kicks found Wakelon on their own
25 in a kicking situation. Thur
ston kicked to the Oxford 45 where
Williams took the pigskin and
scampered to the Bulldog 5. Two
plays later Williams drove in the
winning TD and kicked the extra
point.
Brayboy made a valiant effort on
the return kickoff, going to the
45 before being trapped on the
sidelines at the last moment. The
Bulldogs moved to the Red Devil
32 before a 15-yard penalty turned
them back.
Wakelon made one more drive
after Oxford was forced to punt.
Taking the ball on their own 40,
the Bulldogs moved to the Oxford
15 where a fourth down try fell
inches short. The Bulldogs gained
possession once more, but were
unable to connect with desperation
passes.
Randy Creech carried the ball
35 times during the game, and
picked up 133 of Wakelon’s 162
yards.
Big Perry Williams for the Red
Devils picked up 73 yards in 16
carries, but his most valuable ef
fort was the 45 yard punt return
that set up the winning score.
Except for two plays, the Bull
dogs played almost perfect de
fense. Their first half scoring
drive was an example of power
football at its best. Wakelon dis
played a strong team, one of the
best in recent years, but this
year’s schedule is tough. Remem
ber the Bulldogs are 1-1 in Con
ference play, however, and still
have a chance.
