Scots Dump Bucks 26-19 By Mike Stoadman The Hoke High Bucks were slapped by the Fighting Scots of Scotland High with a 26-19 home coming defeat Friday night. The loss gave Hoke a 3-6-1 record for the year and was the first win of the season for the Scots. The Scots spotted the Bucks a touchdown in the first quarter when Joe Poole hit Allen Thomas for a 64 yard touchdown pass with 5:20 remaining in the quarter. Following the conversion, Hoke had a 7-0 lead. Late in the quarter the Scots took the ball on their own 23 yard line and moved the ball to the Hoke two yard line for a second and goal situation when the quarter ended. On the first play of the second quarter, John McNeil scampered over from the two yard line with 11:57 showing on the clock. The extra point was missed and the Bucks held a 7-6 lead. A Hoke drive was stopped by the Scots and they took over on their 18 yard line following a Hoke punt. On their fifth play of the series. Robert McPhatter hit Steve Mc Dougald with a 58 yard scoring strike with only 4:41 showing on the clock. The conversion was no good and Scotland held a 12-7 lead. The Scots intercepted a Poole pass following the kickoff and had possession on the Hoke 36 yard line as time was running out in the half. HOMECOMING QUEEN ? Irene Edens seems to be happy. She ought to be because she was chosen Homecoming Queen of Hoke Count}' High School Friday night. With only 32 seconds showing, tylcPhatter threw a touchdown pass to Ken Rich covering 27 yards. Again the extra point was missed, and Scotland had a 18-7 lead at intermission. The Bucks staged a comeback effort in the second half when Poole passed to Thomas for 11 yards for a touchdown with 9:58 remaining in the third period to make it 18-13 in Scotland's favor after the convers ion was missed. The Scots were held by the Buck defense on the next series and it looked like the Bucks were in control of the game until Larry Bradley picked off a Poole pass and returned it for a touchdown. The interception covered 50 yards and the Scots had a 26-13 lead following a successful two-point conversion. The Bucks scored again in the final period on Poole's third touchdown pass to Thomas, but the clock came out on top against the Bucks as they served their sixth loss of the season. The Bucks ended up with a 1-4-1 mark in the conference finishing ahead of Scotland with a 1-5 record. HOKE FIRST DOWNS 12 YDS. RUSHING 159 YDS. PASSING 160 RET.

These two groups sang their bicen tennial arrangements and ended in a medley of songs from the musical, 'The Music Man'. Refreshments were served afterwards and every one had a great time, talking to and getting to know the patients. The Chorus and Chorale were invited to sing again, and will probably go back in December or January. . Well, Homecoming 1975 at Hoke High, came and went last Friday, with it ending on a disappointing note, as the Varsity Bucks lost the last game of the season. The 'Fighting Scots' of Laurinburg of Scotland County fought their way to their first victory of the year, by ruining Hoke High's Homecoming, with a score of 26-19. The Bucks thus ended their first season in the 4A Conference with a record of 3 wins, 6 losses, and 1 tie. The Bucks have played some of t'ne largest and highest ranked teams in the state this year, and should be com mended and congratulated for playing some great football. The Hoke High Marching Band also performed at their last half time for this year and ended with another great show. Highlights of the show were a baton solo by Linda Currie, chief majorette, and Yankee Doodle' by the 'Spirit of '76', a group of three, marching down center field. The senior members of the band were then introduced and honored, with everyone standing as the remaining members of the band played 'Anchors Away", the school song. Everyone enjoyed the Homecom ing Parade, Friday afternoon. A bij> crowd was on hand on Main Street in Raeford, to watch the parade, which began a few minutes late, because of a short rain. All the various clubs and organizations were represented well. All the class floats were also presented, with the class reoresentatives riding them, along with the Homecoming Queen semi-finalists and the three finalists. Homecoming was also celebrated by having 'Nostalgia Day' on Thursday, and 'Red and White Day' on Friday. A funeral was also held during the pep rally on Friday, which was climaxed with the sophomores winning the 'Spirit' stick, and the seniors winning the poster competition. During the halftime activities, Debbie Minshew was announced as the newly created Miss Football for 1976, voted on by the Bucks. After this presentation, the winners of the float competition were an nounced. Keeping with a bicenten nial theme in determining the winners, the sophomore class re ceived first place with a liberty bftt and the slogan, "Let Victory Ring;" the juniors won second place with their Bicentennial train and the slogan, "Track 'era Downs" third place was given to the freshman class for their reconstruc tion of George Washington cros sing the Delaware, and the slogan, "The Bucks Stop for Nothing!," and fourth place was given to the senior class for their replica of a Western stagecoach and the slo gan, "We Got the Coach and Team." Congratulations to every one for working so hard and doing a really great job on the floats this year! Homecoming activities were cli maxed by the crowning of the new Homecoming Queen during half time Friday night. After second runner-up. Jan Dial, and first runner-up. Debbie Dees, were announced. Pam Smith, Home coming Queen at Hoke High for 1974-1975, crowned Irene Hdens the new Homecoming Queen 1975 1976. Mereliant Howling Lodge Loses Lead by Wavlon Fulk There should be two headlines for this week's bowling at Lafayette Lanes as the Raeford Moose Lodge lost first place to Oakwood Laun dry as they took all four points. Hope to see the National Guard come right on up in the standings. Webb's Tire is now in a tie for second place with the Moose Lodge as Webb's took three from Ken nerty's Cleaners. Hunt's Bonding is stickine rieht in there as thev took three from Gentry's Tire and are in fourth place. Earl's Electric slipped to fifth place by losing three to the National Guard, and McNeill's Grocery took three in a good battle from the Hollingsworth Barbers. The high series for the week was a whopper by Harold Campbell of the Moose Lodge with a 643 and games of 224 and 223. Waylon Fulk of Webb's Tire had the high game with a 226. Other bowlers hitting the 200 mark were Jesse Taylor of Hunt's Bonding with a 220, Johnny Tew of the National Guard with a 220, James Gay of McNeill's Grocery with a 201 and Thad Marks of the Hollingsworth Barbers with a 201. This week's schedule: the Moose Lodge will be trying for a comeback while battling Hollingsworth, Ken nerty's will come up against a determined Hunt's Bonding, Webb's Tire and Gentry's Tire wil be rolling at each other, Earl's Electric will try to shock McNeill's Grocery and Oakwood Laundry had better watch out ? they will take on the hot National Guard.

Since the performance of the Hoke High Buck's football team has been discussed, it might be appropriate to talk about the performance of the team's supporters. Without question, the best game played by the lackluster Bucks all season was their 53-30 win over Wadesboro-Bowman. It's a sad fact indeed that the Bucks also outscored the Raeford rooters that game by a score of 53-38 not including cheerleaders. When a team scores more points than the number of spectators supporting them, what is left to say about spirit? A record number of people joining the Booster Club . . that's what. Multiply S5 by over 400 and what do you get? Hats off to loyal Buck fans who support them in more ways than attendance. Player's parents aren't the only ones who support the Bucks . . . COACH! I was glad to see that Hoke High's administration decided to stop trying to compete with Monday Night Football. I'm sure homecoming had something to do with the large crowd Friday night, but rain didn't seem to stop them. * * * * It was reported that the Scotland County school system had a meeting about their football team last week. Judging from the score Friday night, maybe the Hoke system ought to have a meeting. Of course we could let this talent from the lower grades that will be representing Hoke High in the future go to waste. ****** On the brighter side. Hoke High basketball will be starting soon and if the locals are half as good (talent-wise) as they were last year, it could be an interesting season. Maybe all will not be lost in Hoke's attempt to break into 4-A competition with a little style. It's a good possibility that more people will go out for basketball than did for football. Does that suggest something? Two can ride cheaper than one. Walter Coley and Mike Wood's Pharmacy Phlashes 26 Miles To Healthier Heart u> M $I^ Prior to the 1950*?, little advice was given to a heart patient, except to get plenty of rest. Today, such advice would be dangerous! Golfs not even strenuous enough to be an effective heart restorer by today's standards. Instead, a California doctor believes that if a post coronary patient gradually trains up to J?gging the 26 mile distance of a marathon run, then he considers him immune to a fatal heart attack for the next five years, providing he leaves cigarettes alone. This is true even if the patient abandons subsequent exercis. So, let's get out the jogging shoes! We Wbh To Tliank You hot Shopping With Ua. Have A Nk* Day And VWt Us Again!
