The future looks bright for the Hoke High Bucks after the strong finish this year. \Photo hv Joe Gonzales ] JV Record, Season s End Shows Future Of Hoke Football Promising by Bill Lindau Coach Tom Jones and Hoke High School's football fans and players, current and future, had a lot to cheer about the last two weeks of the 1982 football season, even though the varsity Bucks won only three of their 10 games. But the mark was the best in the past three seasons. What there was to cheer about was the Bucks ended the season with a 24-0 victory over Luniberton Friday night at Lumberton. And only eight days before then, the Buck JVs won the Southeastern Conference title in their league, defeating E.E. Smith's juniors. 20-0. The following Thursday, the JVs provided a preliminary victory air for the next night's varsity win by defeating the Pinecrest JVs 38-13 in a nonconference contest in the Hoke juniors' season finale. Though Pinecrest also is in the conference, the match was non conference because the Bucks and Pinecrest had met already in a conference game this season. That was on October 14 in Hoke Stadium, and the Hoke JVs won it. 49-h. The victory last Thursday left the Hoke JVs with an 8-2 record for the season. Jones, looking at the future. said of his varsity's victory in the season's closing game. "Things are looking ap. The kids came around." The varsity's performance Friday night showed the further improve ment the Backs have been showing from game to game. The JV performances also bode well for the future Buck varsities. Jones said the seniors played well, and this season's leadership was provided by just nine seniors. Eighteen juniors started, and Jones said. "We'll be looking to the juniors to be leaders next year." The departing seniors include Calvin Dixon (who scored twice against Lumberton). tee McNeill, William Locklear. and Robert Moody. Of all nine seniors. Jones added. "We'll miss all of them." The varsity finished the season with a conference record of 2-b. But one of the victories was the October 15 conference upset of unbeaten Pinecrest, 10-8. The other was 9-6 over South View, in the second game of the season, when three other Buck touchdowns were called back. The losses also included some respec table scores, like the 7-6 heart breaker in the season's opener to Cape Fear, and 14-6 to E.E. Smith in the Hoke Homecoming contest the Friday night before the Lum berton clash. Last year, in Jones's first as head coach following his return from Scotland County, the Buck varsity won one and lost nine, the same mark of the 1980 season, Coach Glenn Draughon's only one with Hoke. In the season's final contest. Dixon scored half the touchdowns on runs of 10 and one yards. Lowell Simmons scored the third on a three-yard run, and Mike McGill picked up a Lumberton fumble on the Lumberton one and ran it over for the final touchdown. The Bucks scored a touchdown in each period. The attempts to get the extra points failed - a run on each of the first three touchdowns and a kick on the fourth. The result left Lumberton wkh a 2-8 record for the season against all opponents and 0-6 in conference play. On Monday, Lumberton's head coach. Edward Fasold, resigned Hunt's Ruto Co. Old Maxton Hwy.

A man is killed removing a loaded shotgun from his truck when the gun discharges. "These are three typical ex amples of hunting accidents." said Winfield Rhyne. assistant chief of the Wildlife Commission's Division of Enforcement. "Although hunt ing is statistically a safe sport, there were eight fatal and 31 non-fatal hunting accidents in North Caro lina last year. Most of these accidents had one thing in common - they could easily have been prevented." BLACK BART WOOD STOVES ON SALE NOW!! *399 00 Plus Tax And Installation PRICES WILL INCREASE SOON!

Prospect Ave. Raeford, N.C. 875-4261 Rhyne says that safe Firearms handling and using common sense are the keys to safe hunting. Here are a few tips on how to have a safe trip: ? Treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded gun. Be aware of what the muzzle is pointed at all times, and be sure the gun is never aimed at anyone. Also, keep the gun on "safety" until you are actually ready to shoot. ? Don't carry loaded firearms in vehicles, and keep firearms un loaded when you are not actually hunting. ? Wear blaze-orange clothing. This makes you more visible in thick cover and in poor light, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Although blaze orange clothing is commonly worn by deer hunters, small-game hunters should also consider its use. Blaze orange makes it much easier to keep track of companions when several hunters are working thick cover in close quarters. ?Unload firearms before cross ing fences and other obstacles. ? Know your firearm. Know how it works, its range and capabilities. ? Be absolutely sure of your target before shooting. Also, be sure that buildings, roads, vehicles and other hunters aren't in the line of fire. ? Know the whereabouts of other members of your hunting party. The use of blaze-orange clothing is a great help ? Don't drink alcohol before or during a hunt. ?If you are a newcomer to hunting, enroll in a hunter-safety course sponsored by the Wildlife Commission. Courses are available for young people and adults, and over 240,000 students have been trained in safe hunting since the program began.
