Pirates Thump Bucks 28 - 14 By Mke Steadmar The Lumberton High School Pirates made the Hoke High Bucks walk the plank Friday night in Lumberton when the Bucks' workhorse Reggie Townsend scampered for a total of 249 yards in 39 carries and led his team to a 28-14 win. "1 think Lumberton was more ready to play than we were," said Hoke High coach Bill Cameron following the loss. Cameron pointed to a fumble on Lumberton's four yard line as a major reason for the loss. It came on a quick pitch. It was a busted play. I called it and I would probably call it again because it has been good to us in the past," he said. Cameron expressed disappointment with the defense and spotted many mistakes. "Anytime we let a kid carry the ball 39 time and gain 249 yards - we're not doing out job," he said. He said Hoke has an end and tackle playing in the backfield and said he needed extra power there. "I just wish 1 had a player or back with the determination Townsend had," he said. Action started with Hoke taking the kickoff on their own 25 yard line and failing to move the ball. A Hoke punt gave the Pirates the ball on the Buck 30 yard line following a long return. On the first play from scrimmage, Townsend rambled the distance for Lumberton's first score. The conversion was missed and the Pirates led 6-0 with 8:39 on the clock. There was no more scoring in the first quarter as the teams exchanged punts and Hoke had the ball on their own 29 yard line in a first and ten situation when the quarter ended. Hoke marched to the second score of the evening in ten plays as Vemon Morrison took it in from the six yard line with 7:27 remaining in the quartet. The extra point was missed and the score was tied 6-6. Lumberton took the kickoff and rambled 84 yards in 13 plays for the Pirate's second score of the night. Townsend took it in from the five yard line for the touchdown with 1:22 showing and added the two point conversion for Lumberton to make the score 14-6. The score remained the same as the half ended. Lumberton took the kickoff opening the second half and marched from their 40 yard line in nine plavs with Townsend diving in from the one to make the score 21-6 following the conversion. Vernon Morriion took the kickoff on his own two yard line and outran his opponents for a 98 yard return for a touchdown to make it 21-13. The conversion was good and Lumberton led 21-14 with 6:00 remaining in the third quarter. Both team's defense took over and the quarter ended with Hoke possessing the ball on the Lumberton 48 yard line, first and ten. In just five plays Hoke had the ball second and goal to go on the four yard line and a fumbled pitchout killed their hopes for victory as the Pirates took it and did not yield the ball to Hoke until late in the quarter when the Bucks took possession on their own one yard line. Hoke desperately tried three pas* attempts and the last one was intercepted by the Pirates with just twelve seconds remaining. The pirates added a final touchdown with one second left to win the game 28-14. "1 know Pinecrest (Hoke's next opponent) is a ball-control team. They played a good game against Sanford last week in a 3S-7 loss. They kept the ball away from Sanford for the whole first quarter last week," said Cameron. "They like to keep the ball and run. Groves, their quarterback is probably one of the best in the conference and runs their wishbone offense well," he said. H oke ighlights by Barry Bllh The Key Club held a meeting Moday night, October 13 in the advisor, Mr, W. Bissett's classroom. Plans were made to hold a bike-a-thon October 26, Sunday afternoon to benefit the National Diabetes Association in their fight against this disease. Red and white mums will go on sale by the Key Club members within the next few weeks for Homecoming on November 7. Don't forget! Last but certainly not least, die Key Club chose Becky Coker as Miss Key Club 1976. Congratulations, Becky. You really deserve this honor. On Friday, October 10, a meeting was held after school by the SAE (Students in Action for Education) for the purpose of getting volunteers to represent Hoke High at the SAE District Convention at Fayetteville State University. Three officers and six members along with the advisor. Mrs. Marilyn Semones, were chosen to go Wednesday, October 15, to the convention, l'he three otlicers going were: Hope Williams, president; Steve Morgan, vice-president (who is also district vice-president); and Barbara McCall, secretary - treasurer. Eleven members volunteered to go and from these, six were chosen.

They returned to school toward the end of the day. Several Hoke High students and their teachers: Mrs. Elizabeth Burgess, Miss Audrey Long, Mrs. Caviness, and Mr. Allen Edwards went on Thursday, October 9, to see the original Broadway cast perform the musical, 'Jesus Christ Superstar' in the Memorial Auditorium in Fayetteville, Everyone who went, including myself, agreed that it was a great performance with a fantastic group of singers and musicians. WSHB will be sponsoring a dance, for everyone of Raeford and Hoke County, but especially Hoke High students, at the Woodman of the World Hall on October 25,from 8:00 P.M. until midnight. The theme of the dance will be an early 'Homecoming - Halloween Happening." Door prizes; record albums, free movie tickets, and gift certificates, among other things will be given away.

Hosts for the evening will be the DJ's from WSHB. I hope to see a lot of people there, and especially from Hoke High, for if enough interest is shown, these dances will be held every Friday and Saturday nights with live bands, on a regular basis. This is being done as a community service for the youth of Hoke County, to have more activities to which they can go. See you there! The Hoke High Bucks won one and lost one as the Junior Varsity won over the JV of Lumberton, 14-8, and the Varsity Bucks lost to Lumberton, at their Homecoming, 28-14. The Junior Varsity travels to Pinecrest on Thursday, October 16, as the Varsity,who are now 2-4, host the Pinecrest Patriots on Friday, October 17. Come out and support the Bucks! There will be a dance immediately after the football game at Hoke High, Friday night. The admission price is $1.00 for Hoke High students. Everybody is invited. Well, as the old saying goes, the 'day of reckoning' has come, and believe me, 1 reckon some of us really got reckoned with after report cards were given out on Tuesday. There was a lot of disbelief and shock, but mostly reality as everyone finally realized that the first six weeks have come and gone and they'd better get down to work before the first semester is already gone. That's only 2'A months away, so Good Luck everybody! The Ekoh staff is about to hit the 250 mark in annual sales. Please don't forget, buy your annual soon!

BI Bowling By Blanche Farmer The Spark Knockers still have a lot of miles left as they were undefeated over the Go Getters four to nothing. The action for Burlington Industrial League was fast and furious, mostly furious, for Lean and Mean as the Sicycles closed the doors four games to nothing. The Old Timers didn't hesitate to pull the curtains on the Strickers four to nothing. The Hot Shots didn't give the Fantastic Four any slack as they were victorious in a three to one game edge. ?
