Bucks Battle Back
To Bind Pinecrest
By Mice St ea dm an
A sixty-ax yard touchdown drive
with less than two minutes to play
tied the score at 18 for the Bucks
Monday night against Pinecrest High
School.
The error-prone game displayed
little action until the final quarter
when Pinecrest came back from a
12-6 disadvantage and scored once
on a blocked Hoke punt and later
took the ball on downs and scored in
four plays.
This action set up the Hoke drive
that knotted the game and spoiled
the Patriots hopes for victory.
Pinecrest took a first quarter lead
when they took five plays to score
from the Hoke 22 yard line following
a fumble recovery.
Vernon Morrison tied the score on
the first play in the second quarter
on a seven yard scamper.
The bucks hit paydirt again in the
third quarter when quarterback Bill
Poole hit Allen Thomas with an 11
yard pass with 28 seconds remaining
m the period.
? Neither team made an extra point
following touchdowns and this
proved to be the most important
factor of the game.
"There were a few bright spots for
us," said coach Bill Cameron.
He indicated that Pinecrest was as
good as he thought they would be,
but pointed to errors made by both
teams as a major factor of the game.
Cameron contended that a team
could not get ready for a game on
Monday as well as they could for a
Friday contest.
"I think Friday is the day that all
players look forward to just as a
worker looks forward to the
weekend," he said.
Cameron expressed worry about
injuries to his players and said that
most of the players injured were key
personnel.
Hoke ran on fourth down twice in
the fourth quarter and Cameron
explained the decision was due to an
injury.
"I've got to be proud of the way
they played," he said.
Cameron said that Seventy-First
was not a big team but they are
quick and don't make many
mistakes.
The Falcons, ranked second in the
state, are sporting a 6-1 record with
their only loss coming at the hands
of Jacksonville in their first game.
"If we were well, we could give
them a good game," Cameron said.
Golfers Place Fifth
The Hoke High girls golf team
finished fifth in the state tournament
Monday finishing with a team score
of 443.
Phyllis Huffman led the way for
the Bucks turning in a score of 98 to
finish eighteenth in a field of 70
competitors.
Tondea Jackson came in behind
her with a score of 99 to place
nineteenth in individual standings.
Other scores by Hoke golfers were
Suzzane Tucker with a 121 score and
Vickie McMillan with a 125 score.
Sanford Central, a team that Hoke
has consistently finished second to
all year, won the team title with a
score of 376.
All four Hoke golfers finished in
the top ten in individual standings in
the conference. Tondea Jackson
came in fifth place, followed by
Phyllis Huffman in sixth, Suzzane
Tucker in nineth, and Vickie
McMillan in tenth.
Merchant Bowling
Moose Holds Lead
By Waylon Fulk
The seventh week of the 1975
bowling season for the Raeford
Merchant's Leagjie at Lafayette
Lanes saw the Raeford Moose Lodge
hold onto their lead by beating
Kennerty's Cleaners three to one, but
there are still quite a few bowling
teams not very far behind.
Webb's Tire moved into the
number two spot by taking four
from the National Guard and the
Hollingsworth Barbers clipped
Oakwood by three to one. Earl's
Electric pulled the plug on Gentry's
Tire by three to one while Hunt's
Bonding Company and McNeill's
Grocery split for the night with two
apiece. As averages and handicaps
settle down, there will still be plenty
of time for any team on the league to
move ahead.
The high series for the night's
bowling record for one night was set
by Bobby Posey of Earl's with a
scratch 257 and handicap 294 while
bowling a series of 571. And we
made a mistake on high series for last
week which should have gone to
Charlie Smith of the Moose Lodge
with a beautiful 587. Other 200
games bowled this week were Alex
Kelly of McNeill's with a 207.
Howard Hendrix of Hunt's with a
206 and Butch Posey of Earl's with a
205.

Eagles
Remain
Undefeated
The Upchurch Middle School
Eagles remained undefeated and
unscored upon as they blasted
Rohanen 26-0 Wednesday, Oct. 8.
and stopped Ellerbe 34-0 Wednes
day, Oct. 15.
The wins, the third and fourth of
the season for the Eagles, set the
stage for their meeting with unde
feated Hamlet for their last home
game at Hoke High Stadium
Wednesday, Oct. 22.
"We've been playing our second
string as much as our first string so
far this year," said coach Wayne
Mills.
"Hamlet will be our toughest
game this year. They've beaten just
about all the teams we've beaten,"
he said.
Mills pointed to the defense as
the team's strong point because
they give the offense good field
position most of the time.
"We've had a good defensive
effort every game this year. In the
game with Ellerbe, the defense
blocked three punts and inter
cepted three passes, and held them
to one first down for the whole
game." said Mills.

This week at the bowling alley
eight teams were at it again. The
Fantastic Four started the Spark
Knockers tilting when they defeated
them two games out of four. Johnny
Melton picked up an almost
impossible spare 3-7-10 pins.
The Strickers tried and tried but
when it was over Lean and Mean won
the whole thing four games to
nothing. A tricycle the Old Timers
can't handle but give them Sicycle
and they beat four games to nothing.
Hot Shot still works wonders
when they get the Go Getters, down
they went three games to one.
High games went to Bobby

worthwhile and educational as well
as fun. Steve Morgan, Hoke High

The Varsity Bucks played a thriller
Monday night, October 20 before
tying the ballgame with the Pinecrest
Patriots. The lead switched teams a
couple of times before the Bucks
made the final touchdown and tied
up the game late in the fourth
quarter. The Bucks lost the chance
for a win when they fumbled the
extra point with about three minutes
to go in the ballgame. The Patriots
received the kick-off, but were
unable to do anything with the few
seconds left in the game, leaving the
game tied and the final score, 18 -
18. The Varsity Bucks, who are now
2 - 4 - 1 in team play, will host
Seventy-First High School this
Friday, October 24. Be there!
