Bucks lose heartbreaker to Scotland County "It took a great play to beat us," Hoke High Head Football Coach Tom Jones said of last Fri day night's close loss to Scotland County. Hoke High had led the Fighting Scots the whole game. The final score was Scotland 21 , Hoke 19. With 47 seconds left in the game, Scotland completed a pass to the back of the end zone to give them the win. "We felt like we played well enough to win," Jones said. The heartbreaking pass came on the Hoke 12 yard line and there was little way of stopping it, said Jones. "We had good coverage on the play," he said. According to Jones, the man who caught the hall was covered but the Hoke player stumbled and gave the receiver just enough time to pick up the pass. "I have heard people say that game was the most exciting high school game they have ever seen," said Jones. "We were pleased with the ef fort the team gave. They played well," said the coach. The leading rusher for Hoke was Terrell' Carpenter who carried the hall 12 times and gained 177 yards. Quarterback Marco Pickett passed for 23 yards in the game. Although Jones was obviously disappointed by the Friday night loss, he is neither giving up hope on his team nor putting all the blame on them for the team's 3 and 2 record. there is a lot of football left to play this season and Hoke is not licked yet for a spot in the playoffs, Jones said. This Friday, the team faces Reid Ross in this year's Homecoming game. "Reid Ross is always a very physical team," Jones said. One of the major things Jones and his team will be working on this week is avoiding "mistakes in four down territory," he said. That is the area that an opposing team can score in four downs from or any area inside the 30-yard -line. Those mistakes will have to be eliminated, said Jones. The head coach is looking-for ward to a good game with Reid Ross. "In our league, there are no pushovers," he said. "On any given Friday night, anyone could win." Hoke teams victorious during week 's contests With the exception of the varsity football team, last week was a very good one for young athletes in Hoke County. The Hoke High Women's Ten nis Team once again defeated all takers in two matches last week. On the past Tuesday, West Robeson High School came for a disappointing visit to Raeford. Wendy Simpson, number one seed on the team, easily defeated her challenger in both sets, 6-0. Also winning in singles competi tion were Stephanie Holland, Beth Archer and Kim Hawkins. Hawkins won a hard fought match in that tournament 6-4, 2-6 and 7-6. In doubles play, the teams of Simpson-Payne, Booker-Archer and Tran and Potts all won with Tran and Potts not loosing a game. The final score was Hoke 7 and West Robeson 2. On Thursday, the team travelled to E.E. Smith and again walked away with a victory. An:hcrand Hawkins again all won singles mat ches quite easily. Simpson and Payne and Booker and Archer won doubles matches with neither team having to fight too hard. In Volleyball play during last , week, Hoke Varsity and Junior Varsity teams did not k*e? match. When West Robeson came to visit Raeford on last Tuesday, all hopes of their winning were dashed soon after arrival. Both Varsity games were won with scores of 15-10 and the Junior Varsity ripped a 15-1 win out of the first game and squeaked a 15-13 win out of the second game. Travelling to E.E Smith on Thursday, the J.V. team had no one to play. E.E. Smith has no J.V. Volleyball team; however, the Var sity team had little trouble winning their match 15-7 and 15-3. The overall J.V. record is 9 and 1 while the Varsity teams boasts an 8 and 2 record. Hoke County's J.V. Bucks are on a comeback trail after a slow start in their season. The young Bucks, in what coaches are calling "a defensive struggle," beat Scotland County's J.V. team by a score of 8-7. The opposing team went on top early in the game, on the second play of the game, and went on top 7-0 and stayed there until there were only two minutes left in the game. The only Hoke County score was a blocked punt picked up by Anthony-Monroe and run into the end zone. -m Realizing that six points were not enough to defeat the Scotland team, Monroe caught a pass from Bobby Little for the two point con version. During the second half, the young team hit hard causing fumbles and stopping all hopes for SHJRand. The overall J.V. record is now at 2 and 2. The ninth grade football team was also a winner last Thursday as they defeated Reid Ross 20-14. In the first quarter, Josh Pate completed a 40-yard pass to Barry Winning st&$= . , ... ...... _ . Members of the Hake High cross country team Une up last week for the start of a four-school race. The Bucks were victorious capturing the fewest points to top Lumberton, West Robeson and E.E. Smith. v Fellows Sot a touchdown, but the extra point try did not make it. In quarter number t^o, Roderick Bratcher ran 40 yard^pr a tpuchdown and Janies Carpenter made the two point conversion. The final Hoke score came in the last quarter when Bratcher again broke loose and ran SO yards only to be tackled at the three yard line. Thomas Glen picked up those needed three yards on the ground to SCUT the win for Hoke. Last Wednesday, an undefeatecL Hoke cross country team won again with Don Woods leading the way with a time of 16 minutes and 45 seconds on the course. Out of the four schools com peting in the meet, Hoke put four men in the top 10 finishers. The final score was Hoke 32, Lumberton 37, West Robeson 85 and E.E Smith 106.
