Wakefield Church Has More
Added To Its Name
The congregation of Wakefield
Baptist Church recently voted to
add Central to the church’s name.
It is now Wakefield Central Baptist
Church.
The Rev. Horace Hamm, pastor,
said the addition to the church’s
name came for distinctive reasons.
Many times there was misunder
standing of which church was
which in public notices and other
news media and announcements.
There is a Negro church in the
community named Wakefield
Baptist Church.
A name addition brought some
complications, the minister said.
Finally, some of the older mem
bers suggested Central. They said
that many, many years ago there
was a Baptist Association named
Central Baptist Association. The
church was a member of this
Association.
However, with much prayerful
discussion and consideration,
Central was incorporated into the
church’s name with the consent
of the congregation. |

Wakelon Bulldogs Lose Last Game To Enloe, 31-6
By Wayne Davis
Some 20 valiant and crippled
Wakelon gridiron warriors traveled
to the eagle’s nest of Enloe this
past week to do battle. The 31-6
score is no indication as to the
closeness of the game. Coach
Chapman and the players would
like another crack at Enloe next
year when the Bulldog squad is at
full strength. Most of the second
half was played with three sopho
mores and one freshman in the
Bulldog backfield. Several other
Bulldogs played with injuries of
varying degrees. Randy Creech
missed most of the second half with
an ankle injury he picked up last
week in Spring Hope and Thurston
Debnam went out in the second
half with a hip injury. Thurston
will probably miss the coming
basketball season because of a
separated or pulled ligament in his
hip.
Wakelon’s only score was mus
tered by the Sophomore-Fresh
man combination, coming mid
way in the third quarter. Johnny
Clark, behind good line protec
tion, hit Ben David Thomas with
passes of 12 and 25 yards to set
UP the TD. Ben David made two
outstanding receptions and turned
in a 15 yard run on the end of
the second to set up a score from
two yards out by Kenny Temple.
The Eagles scored the first time
they gained control of the ball
for a 6-0 lead. Early in the sec
ond quarter the Eagles scored
a second time after recovering a
Wakelon fumble on the Bulldog
two. Except for this gift TD the
half time score would have been
6-0, which is not a bad half of
ball playing. Wakelon could
mount no offense in the first half,
penalties stopping two drives be
fore they could get started. En
loe’s defense stopped the Bulldogs
the other two times they had pos
session in the first half.
Second Half
Enloe took the second half kick
and marched 62 yards for an 18
to 0 lead, with Dave Bevacqua, the
Eagle quarter back, going 45 yards
on a bootleg play. Wakelon
moved 55 yards with the return
kick for their TD and an 18-6
score. Enloe came back late in
the third quarter for another score
from 55 yards out on a double re
verse and a 24-6 lead. The Bull
dogs moved the ball well in the
final quarter, only to have three
pass interceptions to kill any hopes
of another Bulldog score. The
final Enloe TD came after picking
off a Wakelon pass for the 31-6
winning score.
The Bulldogs, as viewed from
here, are the best 1-A Team with
a 3-7 record in the state. If the
ball had bounced the right way
a few times over the past season
their record could have been 7-3.
The season was not an easy one,
in that there were no breathers
on the schedule. However, this
past season will serve as a prov
ing ground for the next season, be
cause the Bulldogs lose only two
players by graduation, Ben Stal
lings and Jerry Bullock. Ben
Stallings, a co-captain at 145
pounds, found himself out weigh
ed in most games, but seldom if
ever outplayed. Jerry Bullock, a
I transfer to Wakelon this year, and
one of the larger boys on the squad
at 175, proved a valuable addition
to the team and showed an out
standing effort in the final game
with Enloe, being a real tiger on
defense. Both will be hard to re
place.
Overall experience gained by
Johnny Clark and Jerry Brayboy
in their first varsity year and the
fact that Randy Creech and Thur
ston Debnam will be seniors next
season will make for an attack that
will be hard to handle. Some
names to watch will be Kenny
Temple, Ben David Thomas and
Vincent Rountree. All three of
these boys love the game and are
aggressive players and eager to
learn. The Bulldog line, one of
the scrappiest per pound to be
found, were often out weighed by
as much as 40 or more pounds per
man, but never gave an inch with
out a struggle and let no one run
over them. The linemen are often
over looked and seldom get their
name in print, however ask any
foackfield man where the game is
won.
Coach Maurice Chapman may
have suffered his first losing sea
son, but every boy on the team is
a winner and that’s the reason for
playing the game.
