Yellowjackets Sting Bucks In 47-12 Romp
By Mike Steadman
"We had too many days to prepare
for them. Maybe we were
over-prepared, but when we played
them, we didn't seem ready to play,"
said Bill Cameron, Hoke High
football coach, concerning Hoke's
loss to Sanford 47-12 here Friday
night.
"I don't think we were
overpowered by Sanford," he said. "I
think we were intimidated by their
aggressiveness."
Hoke got off to a bad start as their
first possession following the kickoff
was short lived and a punt return
gave Sanford the ball first and ten on
the nine yard line. Sanford scored
from the four in only three plays and
the conversion made it 7-0 with 9:05
showing on the clock.
Hoke was forced to punt again
after the kickoff and Sanford took
eight plays to Score after starting
from their own 31 yard line. The
extra point was no good and the
score was 13-0 with 4:48 left to go in
die quarter.
Hollowing the kickoff, Hoke took
the ball on their 25 yard line and
again failed to move the ball. The
Buck punt was blocked and Sanford
had another quick touchdown. The
Yellowjackets converted for two and
the score was 21-0 with 1:43 still
remaining in the first quarter.
Sanford again thwarted a Buck
drive after the kickoff and Noah
Hendrix's 69 yard punt gave the
Yellowjackets the ball on their own
one yard line as the first quarter
ended.
The Jackets rammed the ball 99
yards in five plays highlighted by a
40 yard scoring run by Calvin
McLean to make it 27-0 as the extra
point was missed.
Three Sanford quarterbacks made
an appearance in the quarter and the
half ended with Sanford still leading
27-0.
Hoke's first drive in the third
quarter following the kickoff was
stopped by a Sanford interception on
the Jacket 31 yard tine.
The Jackets marched the distance
in nine plays and led 34-0 after the
extra point with 3:20 left in the
quarter.
Sanford substituted freely as Hoke
took the ball on their 34 yard line
following the kickoff. Reginald
McRae and Vernon Morrison
combined for yardage as Hoke took
it in from the nine yard line with :33
lowing on the clock. The extra
point was no good and Hoke trailed
34-6 as the third quarter ended.
Sanford again marched to a score
in only five plays on a drive that
began on their 43 yard line. They
missed the extra point and the score
was 40-6 with 10:11 remaining in
the quarter.
A Hoke drive failed and the Bucks
were forced to punt to the Jackets
following the kickoff. Penalties
plagued the Sanford team as they
were forced into a third and 23
situation when Doug Gay released a
90 yard touchdown pass with 5:57
remaining in the game. The extra
point was good and the score was
47-6.
The ball exchanged hands twice
before F.ddie Pennell intercepted a
Sanford pass on the 38 yard line and
took it to the 22 before he was
dragged down.
Vernon Morrison scored on the
second play from scrimmage with
one second left from the 22 yard
line. The extra point was no good
and the gamed ended with Sanford
on the long end of a 47-12 score.
"We were fortunate not to have
any injuries against Sanford."
Cameron said. He cited Reginald
McRae's play as one of the only
bright spots for Hoke and indicated
that there would be four changes on
offense and seven new faces would
be seen on defense against Richmond
County next week.
"We won't change a thing on
offense except for personnel and
we'll probably go back to our normal
defense," said Cameron.
He said he expects Richmond to
be as good as Sanford.
"I think Richmond's backs are as
good as Sanford's. They have a good
passing game with the combination
of Charlie Davis and Jeff Thomas. 1
expect to see the ball in the air quite
a bit.
"Charlie Davis is the best
quarterback I've seen this year and 1
don't think there is one better," he
said.
Cameron cited their defense as
strong as he said,"Their linebackers
are good and are the kind that tear

your head olT when they get the
chance."
"It's hard to get up for someone
when you get beat, but this week of
practice will determine a lot. I think
a lot of the pressure is off of us
now." he said.
