Punting game seals Bucks9 fate
A blocked punt and ? fumbled
punt made the past Friday night in
to a disappointing one for Hoke
High's Bucks, as they lost their
first home game to Fayetteville's
71st High School.
: The 21-12 loss was the Buck's
; first this young season.
: The home team did very well
?gainst the high school that is
ranked number nine in the state in
4-A competition until the fourth
quarter.
Hoke was winning 7-6 when
kicker Garry McMillan had his
punt blocked, and 71st recovered.
A 12-yard pass got the Falcons
on the boards again from that
point.
During Hoke's next possession,
a low snap from center caused
McMillan to fumble where 71st
recovered again.
Two plays and an extra point
later, the score was 21-6 with just
over four minutes left in the game.
After a 42-yard pass from
Quarterback Marco Pickett to
McMillan, the Bucks scored as
Elgin Blue rushed in from the three
yard line. V
That was the last score of the
game.
The Friday night game came
down to a contest between the
defensive units, said Coach Tom
Jones.
"We were extremely proud of
our defensive performance," he
said.
The team made a few mistakes,
but the defense covered for them
as well as they could.
"We gave them five possessions
inside our 35," said Jones.
Of the loss, Jones said: "Offen
sively, we've got to do a better job
in coaching our strengths."
Jones was referring to more ful
ly using the running skills of
Quarterback Marco Pickett for
running the option.
"We are going to start using it
more/' he said.
This Friday night, the Bucks will
take on Cape Fear High School at
home.
"Size will be a big obstacle
against Cape Fear," said Jones.
"Traditionally, Cape Fear has
been a very good, very close game.
I don't expect any different this
year," he said.
The coach is going to be em
phasizing speed and agility during
this week in practice to combat the
size of the Cape Fear players.
"Our speed will be a key in this
week's game," Jones said.
Volleyballers capture two from E.E, Smith
Although bad weather cancelled
many sporting activities planned
for last week, members of the var
sity volleyball team were able to
capture two wins from E.E. Smith
High School.
The first of last Tuesday's games
was won fairly easily as Hoke
walked by E.E. Smith 15-9, but,
game two was a squeaker.
Hoke also won that one 13-13.
Tennis matches scheduled for
the same day had to be postponed.
There was no Junior Varsity
volleyball match.
On last Wednesday, the Hoke
High Cross Country Team was in
winning form, beating Terry San
ford, West Robeson and Reid Ross
high schools on home turf.
Runner Don Woods lead the at
tack on the visiting teams as he
won his event outright over the rest
of the field.
Other Hoke runners to finish
proudly were Paul Purcell, who
finished fifth, Marty Locklear.
sixth, Kevin Locklear, eighth, and
Jerome McNatt who placed 1 1th.
The Hoke team score was 31
compared to a 66 turned in by
Terry Sanford, 71 for West
Robeson and Reid Ross with 85.
Low score wins.

Taking a breather
Taking a break on the sideline is not very restful when you're down. Last
week, the Hoke County High School Bucks lost for the first time this
season. The players and coaches were not happy with the outcome of the
game, but they are working to overcome last week's problems so they can
welcome Cape Fear next week with some hard spirit. Here, Eric Maxwell
(64) and Tracey Weston (70) contemplate last week 's delema. From the
looks on these faces, the same thing will not happen again easily.
