Hawks Look Toward Enka
After Season-Opening Loss
By MICHELLE WYATT
Sports Correspondent
North Buncombe's Black Hawks
are dustijpg themselves off after last
week's season-opening -loss to
Madison High School and are now
gearing up for Friday night's game
against Enka.
The Black Hawks found themselves
on the short end of a 7-3 score when
they traveled to Madison to meet the
rival Patriots, but are hoping to
bounce back against the Jets.
North Buncombe Coach Tom
Weaver blamed the loss on offensive
miscues. The Black Hawks lost three
fumbles - including a costly fumble
near the end of the game - and were
penalized for a total of 70 yards
?('Too many offensive turnovers,''
Wjaver said. <
The Black Hawks have spent the
past week working to prevent those
same problems from cropping up in
this Friday's battle with Enka.
"If we can eliminate offensive tur
novers and improve defensive con
tainment, we'll be on top," Weaver
said.
"Those are our biggest priorities. If
we do this and continue with the pro
gress we have had, we'll be at a good
point," he said.
Enka ( 1-0) is coming off a 20-18 win
last week over T.C. Roberson High
School.
In Friday's loss to the Patriots, the
lone North Buncombe points came off
the foot Earl Rohrback, who kicked
a 24-yard field goal at the 4:43-mark
in the third quarter of the ball game
The field goal came after a

scoreless first half for both squads.
Madison came back with thie winn
ing - and only - touchdown on a
10-yard pass with 9:32 to go in the
game to go in front 7-3 after the extra
point.
North Buncombe appeared to be
marching toward the endzone when
the Patriots recovered a fumble,
stopping the North Buncombe com
eback bid.
The Black Hawks coughed up the
ball on the Madison 20-yard line with
about 2:30 remaining in the game.
For the Black Hawks, Darrin
Ledbetter gained 43 yards to lead
North Buncombe's rushing attack.
The leading pass receiver was Mit
chell Fisher, with 26 yards.
Scott Cole, a varsity player, has a
quick response when asked about last
week's loss: "What went wrong? We
didn't pass enough."
"We will do better against Enka,"
said an optimistic Keith Briggs.

Thursday night when they beat North
Buncombe's junior varsity squad

moments." said junior varsity coach

made mistakes." said player Todd
Capps.
This Friday night, the junior varsi

County.
"They only beat us 12-0, but we

Patriots Get Revenge
With 7 -3 Comeback Win
By TAMM1E YOUNG
Sport* Correspondent
The Patriots of Madison High
School got a taste of revenge Friday
night when they squeaked past the
Black Hawks of North Buncombe, 7-3.
The Patriots had vengeance on
their minds going into the season
opener after last year's 14-13 heart
breaking loss at the hands of North
Buncombe.
Although the 7-3 victory was not
especially pretty, for Madison Coach
Woody Ammons it was still sweet.
"We played hard, but sloppy.
Every aspect of the game needs im
provement,'' Ammons said.
"Our game plan was to work
harder than North Buncombe. We
did, and we won," he said.
Madison grabbed the win on a
10-yard pass from quarterback Brian
Godfrey, who hit Tony Rogers for the
touchdown early in the game's final
quarter.
Kicker Gary Mace booted through
the extra point, giving Madison a 7-3
lead with 9:32 remaining in the game.
"It was great," Rogers said about
scoring the only touchdown of the
game. "But I couldn't have done it
without my buddies."
It was then up to the Madison
defense and a little bit of luck to seal
the win for the Patriots.
The Black Hawks were driving
deep into Patriot territory late in the
game and were within striking
distance when they lost one of three
fumbles on the evening.
The Patriots recovered the ball on
their own 20-yard line with just 2:38
left in the game, and were able to hold
on for the win.
Godfrey, a defensive standout last
year but in his first game as quarter
back, completed two of 12 pass at
tempts for 34 yards and the TD.
Eric Young was the leading rusher,

at: Coates Country Store
carrying 15 times for 51 yards. Chris
Crain, coining off a hamstring injury,
gained 25 yards in six carries.
For the defense, Eric Young,
Jasper Rrennan and Dee Etherton
each recovered a fumble.
Madison will have a couple of
weeks to savor their victory and get
ready for their next opponent.
The Patriots' next game is against
Try on at home on Sept. 11.
Madison coaches and players say
they will be ready.
"We will be a better team," said
quarterback Godfrey.
"I'm ready to work and make our
weak points strong," said player Paul
Hall.
The consensus of the team is to im
prove and get better, Ammons said.
"It's a young team, but we have
tough guys that are willing to try, and
that's what counts." he said.
Tim Ballard was injured in
Friday's game, but Ammons said he
has confidence that Ballard will be
back playing in next week's game.
Rosman lost its opening game of
the season to Mitchell by a 19-0
margin.
Football isn't the only game in town
at Madison. The volleyball season
started Wednesday when Madison
hosted North Buncombe. Madison
then travels to North Buncombe to
day (Thursday).
Coach Karen Dillingham said she is
confident her squad will do well this
season.
"We've been practicing since the
first of school," Dillingham said. "We
are going to do our best."
