Girls Lose
48-26
The Hoke High Lady Bucks
dropped their first game of the
season against Pine Forest Friday
night by a 48-26 margin.
A balanced scoring attack was
not enough for the Bucks as they
fell behind in the second quarter
and were not able to stage a
comeback.
Lena Servien had nine points for
Hoke followed by Tondca Jackson
with five.
Sandra Lemon scored 22 points
for Pine Forest to aid their victory.
It was the season opener for both
teams. Hoke is at home tonight
(Thursday) against the Red Springs
girl's team.
Out Of Rounds
By Mike Steadman
Hoke was ranked number nine in ihe Fayetteville Times Cape Fear Region
rankings, but failed to crack the top fifteen in the state 4-A poll.
The region scale included six Division HI teams and four Division IV teams.
Richmond, Sanford Central. Lumberton, and Hoke were all listed in the top
ten with Richmond and Sanford holding down second and third respectively.
Only Richmond and Sanford are ranked in the state poll.
During their regular season, the Bucks play ten games with ranked teams. Of
course, these rankings will change, but a.pre-season poll usually tries to place
the teams as they will end up at the season's end.
Hoke's power will be tested in their first encounter against eleventh ranked
Pine Forest at the Fayetteville team's home court.
That should be worth watching. It also should give Hoke fans an idea of
what to expect this year.
The first home game with Red Springs has been changed from Friday, Dec.
12, to Thursday, Dec. 11. because the game conflicted with a Rael'ord police
dance-rap session set up for die young people of thy county.
Hats off to Allen Edwards for being so cooperative and making such a
worthy cause capable of going on w ithout conflict.
It's hard to believe, but it's true. The Upchurch Middle School starting five
will actually be taller than the starting Buck five this year. Their shortest man
is 6'-0".
W.K. Morgan told me that the team will be or is better than any J.V. team
he has ever coached. W.K. had some pretty good teams when he was at Hoke
High a while back.
Hoke's basketball future looks beticr every day.
I'm sure Coach Long has the Lady Bucks ready for combat. Time will tell,
but a combination of her coaching talent teamed with the athletic talent of
women at Hoke High, could produce a championship team in the future.
The Upchurch School even has a girls' basketball team this year. That's what
1 call building for the future. Good luck to Coach Scott!
What is a coach? Webster's Dictionary defines it as an instructor in athletics.
Actually it involves much more than that.
A coach is a mother, father, helping hand, judge, jury, supporter, tyrant,
teacher, lecturer, dietician, friend, enemy, human being, crying towel, mistake
maker, nursemaid, enthusiast, degrader. child, mature individual, weatherman,
winner, loser, and most of all, a person who cites his or her own mistakes with
feeling far beyond the feeling of the observer.

Bucks Drop Trojans
By Mike Steadman
The Hoke High Bucks basketball
team started its season on a
winning note Friday night in
Fayetteville as they held off a
desperate comeback attempt by the
Pine Forest Trojans and claimed a
70-67 victory.
Allen Thomas led the Bucks to
the win with 22 points and dazzling
play from all over the court.
Thomas' effort was supported by
guard Larry Miller's 16 points and
Nate McNeill's 12.
High scorer for the Trojans was
Kyle Powere with 22 and Mackie
Marquez's 16.
The score was tied many times in
the first quarter as the teams
traded baskets. Two quick scores
by Allen Thomas w ithin the last 51
seconds of the period gave Hoke a
18-lb lead as time ran out.
Two fast scores by the Trojans in
the first 1:21 of the second quarter
gave them a 20-18 advantage. Pine
Forest then outscored Hoke 6-2 in
the next 2:35 and claimed a 26-20
lead before Thomas' three point
play got the Bucks back on the
scoring track.
Larry Black and Frierson Barnes
then helped the Bucks outscore the
Trojans 16-6 with crucial shots and
tough rebounding. Hoke held a
36-32 halftime lead.
The Bucks scored first in the
third period with almost two min
utes gone with a free throw . The
Karate
Team
Places
A leant from the Karate Institute
of Raeford ant sibling of four
students was involved in competition
at Lee Field House Monday night at
Ft. Bragg.
Sgt. Don Black won a first place
gold medal. Barry Hcnlv and Gene
Met/ger won second place silver
medals, and Gary Taylor also
finished with a second place silver
medal.
scoring was scarce by both teams '
most of the period as Miller proftd
he could handle the ball and
amazed fans with driving layups
and set shots. Hoke out scored the
Trojans 11-7 in the period and held
a 47-39 lead.
Barnes and McNeill led Hoke to
a 15 point lead with just 3:35
remaining in the game before
Powers' three point play started the
Pine Forest comeback.
The Trojans' full court press
produced two straight Hoke turn
overs that turned into points for the
home team.
Pine Forest pulled to within six
points at b5-69 with only 1:39 left
as Powers poured in 11 of his 22
points in the last quarter.
A Hoke time out pulled the
Bucks back together and they held
on for a 70-67 win.
Barnes and Black added nine
points each to Hoke's cause and
Marcus Brown finished with two.
The Bucks next two opponents
are faced back-to-back as they took
on Goldsboro last night and are at
home tonight (Thursday) against
Red Springs in their first home
game of the season. M
