Beaufort Rolls 7 ? The Hard Way Raablla' Kay Hassell, Seadog halfback, Is surrounded by a trio of Norlina tacklers after picking up nine yards on this first quarter play.

VUuUncj, Sfuvdl w Larry McComb . 111 aaapwa Beaufort to Host Title Game Three down and one to go. This ia it. Friday night is the night that has been a long time in coming to Beaufort high school. This Fri day, on the Beaufort campus the Seadogs will take the field against Andrews high school and the ensuing grid iron battle will be for the most coveted of all prizes ? the state football championship. There are a lot of peo ple around who would have given you pretty heavy odds that this is a situation in which a Beaufort team would never find themselves. It's a known fact that the school can play basketball on even terms with almost any school in the state but to turn out a powerhouse in foot ball is something that supposedly just wasn't in the books for Beaufort. The Seadogs made it to the finals though and they made it the hard way. With their backs against the wall, they came back against Norlina to score with five seconds left in the game. It broke a scoreless deadlock and put them into the finals against Andrews. There will be other Beaufort football games in the years to come but there will never be another game to match the Norlina contest for sheer thrills and display of raw-bone courage and determination. The Seadogs were played off their feet by the classy Blue Waves through three quarters of the game. Throughout the first half and part of the last, they could not get an of fensive atark going and their defense was having trou bles of it* own trying to contain Norlina. But when it got down to the alternative that they either scored a touch down or lost the game, the Seadogs made their choice and went out and got their touchdown. And how they got it! With only seven minutes left in the game they got possession of the ball and found them selves exactly 98 yards away from the Norlina goal line. By that time in the game, they had failed to gain that much in three-quarters of play and now they had only seven minutes in which to do it. But, as it turned out, seven minutes was all that it took, as Butch Hassell crossed the Norlina goal 23 play* later and still had ftVe seconds to spare. The drive more than made up for the mistakes they made previously in the game and there wasn't a man on the team who wasn't doing his job 100 per cent, as the Seadogs marched to the most important touchdown of t the year. Boot* and Binglea Throughout the season and particularly in the play offs the Seadogs have been given great support by Car teret football fans. The Big Green has gained a lot of admirers with their spectacular play and the result has been that many people have been travelling 100 miles or more to watch them play. As one fan was heard to comment while Beaufort was making their scoring drive against Norlina, "Beaufort had as many fans on the field as Norlina had in the stands." Probably the biggest tribute to their spectator appeal is the number of Morehead City fans that have been at tending the playoff games. But Friday night even this was topped when nine members of the Morehead City high school band made the trip to Greenville and march en on the field with the Seadog band to fill some vacan cies caused by vacationing Beaufort band members. It was quite a sight to Bee those few red uniformed per formers intermingled among the green uniforms of the Beaufort band. With good will like this between the two schools, both the towns and the schools cannot help but benefit. During the football season the Seadogs have gained another reputation as well as their reputation as a win ner. When they won the coin tosa prior to the game Fri day night, it marked the tenth time In twelve games that they have done ao. One of the two times that they failed to win the traditional coin flipping was the game in wtoich they suffered their only loss. That'? 30 for now.

The amazing and unbaliavable Beaufort Seadogs ad vanced to the state championship finals Friday night with a thrilling do-or-die 7-0 win over a pesky Xorlina eleven in a thrill-packed game played on the East Carolina Col lege gridiron. Beaufort, outplayed by the Blue Wave throughout most of the entire contest, snowed the Urge crowd on hand just what makes a championship team as they took the ball and marched 98 yards for the only touchdown of the night late in the fourth quarter. For the third straight time in the playoffs the Seadogs won the toss and elected to receive. After pick ing up a first down on the running of Ernest (Power) House. Eddie Taylor and Butch Hassell, the hard charging line of the Blue Wave held and forced the Seadogs to punt. Norlina took the punt and. led by the break-away running of Bob by Jones, advanced the ball through the Beaufort line for two straight first downs before being halted. Jones, who was a real threat every time he got the ball, almost made the difference in the ball game for Norlina. as three times he broke into the clear only to be brought down from behind by the Beaufort defense. The first quarter ended with Nor lina in possession of the ball near midfield. The Blue Wave complete ly dominated play in the second quarter as they held the ball for 23 plays from scrimmage, com pared to six plays for the Seadogs. On the first play of the quarter Bobby Jones reeled off the first of his long gains as he exploded over the center of the Beaufort line and scampered 40 yards before being brought down. I ot? i?? ? Via o a mo nuartor .Innos almost got away again but was brought down after picking up 16 yards. Throe times during the quarter the Blue Waves gambled on fourth down situations and each time it paid off as they picked up the necessary yardage to maintain pos session. The Seadogs managed to ?top them once late In the period when again they elected to gamble on fourth down. With less than a minute before halftirne, Beaufort immediately took to the air in an attempt to score but the first down pass to Butch Hassell was intercepted by Mac Puree Norlina then threw two incomplete passes before the halftirne whistle blew. With the seore tied at 0-0 after two quarters, the announcement came over the public address sys tem that Norlina was leading Beau fort in yardage 103.5 to 46.5. This meant that the Big Green had their work eut out for them in the final it minutes of play. With the big yardage lead compiled by the Blue Waves, it became apparent that Beaufort would have to score to win the game. The Seadogs kicked off to Nor lina to open the third quarter and for a while it appeared as if the Blue Wave was going to take up right where it left off a few min utes before. After a one-yard plunge by Frank Perkinaon, Bobby Jones reeled off 16 yards to give Norlina a first down on the Beau fort 39-yard line. Four running plays then failed to go for the Blue Wave and Beaufort took over on their own 30. The Seadogs then pat on their first sustained drive of the night as they marched the ball all the way from their 30 to the Norlina 25 yard line. Ray Haaaell and Erneat House did the bulk of the ball car rying on the drive, with Butch Haa aell using the quarterback aneak as an effective supplement. After holding the ball for 16 playa, the Beaufort drive bogged down and the Seadogs were forced to sur render possession to Norlina on the Blue Wave 25-yard line. Seconds after Norlina got the ball, the third quarter ended with the two teams atlll deadlocked at 0-8 and Norlina still pooting an advan tage in yardage gained. Bobby Jones opened the fourth quarter by adding another II yarda to the Blue Wave's total that put the ball on the Beaufort 40-yard line. On the next play the officials ? called a personal foul on the Sea dogs to move the ball deep into Beaufort territory. Three running plays then moved Norlina within six yards of the goal and defeat seemed to be staring Beaufort in the face. On the next play, with their backs against the wall, Beaufort hit and took the ball away from Jones with Ray Hasscll and David Jones team ing up to get the pigskin. Jones was hit first by Hay and David moved in to take the ball out of his hands and Beaufort had a first and ten on their own two-yard line with a touchdown 98 yards away and seven minutes remaining on the clock. Not to be denied, though, the Seadogs took the ball and 23 plays and six minutes and 55 seconds later, they had a touchdown and the eastern Class A championship. Ray Hassell started off the drive with a five-yard run This was fol lowed by a six-yard plunge by Ernest (Power) House and a five yard sneak play by Butch Hassell. Eddie Taylor added four and then it was Butch again over the middle for two. I Alter i ayior goi nve more jaius, a Hutch Hassell to Ray Hassell ! aerial was good for seven. House bucked for three and Ray Hassell was stopped for no gain. House made up for this on the next paly as he bowled over the Norlina line for 11 yards and the first down. The big fullback then got another ' three yards and a pass attempt to 1 Ray Hassell fell incomplete. House '< was called on again and he came ) through with four yards. ? Taylor added six on a wide sweep j and then it was House bucking i for two again and Butch sneaking for one to pick up the first down. ( After House had picked up four ( yards and Eddie Taylor two, Ray Hassell swept the end for a pickup , of nine big yards to move the ball , inside the Norlina 15-yard line. Eddie Taylor was then stopped for no gain but House made up for it by getting nine yards on two car- ' ries to move the ball down to the ' six-yard line. Here the Seadogs I were faced with a fourth down sit- J uation and five and a half yards to go for a first down and six yards i to go for a touchdown. J Butch called on Ray Hassell for < the all-important play and Ray car- j ried the ball down to the one-foot | line to give the Seadogs the neces- < sary yardage for the first down. ( Butch Hassell then scored the most j important touchdown of the year on the next play as he took the ball over on a quarterback sneak. ' When Butch went into the end zone, the big clock at the end of } the field showed that there were < exactly five seconds left in the 1 game. Ray Hassell added the extra J point seconds before the large - Beaufort crowd swarmed onto the field to mob the victorious Seadogs.

Eagles Meet Rams Tonight In Opener The Morehead City high school Eagles open another basketball campaign tonight when the Eagles take on the Havelock Rams in a game to be played in the 12th St. gym. Morehead City. Head coach Gannon Talbert lost four of his five starters from last year and will have back only John Phillips from the quintet that com piled a record of seven wins and twelve losses. Despite the fact that his squad will lack game experience, Talbert expects to get a lot of mileage out of his squad which is composed mostly of underclassmen. Talbert is still undecided as to his starting lineup, but the veteran mentor said yesterday that he could floor a team that will average about 6-1 or 6-2. Among prospects for this year's squad who have been doing well in practice are footballers Harold Whealton, Chuck Sledge and David O'Neal. Whealton and Sledge are sophomores and O'Neal is a fresh man. Jimmy Smithwick, another sophomore, was tabbed as promis ing by Talbert. Two juniors, who started oc casionally and saw limited action last year are Dan Wade and Tom Thompson. The pair are expected to see a lot of action in the back ?ourt for the Eagles this year, along with newcomers James No lan, George Styron, Jim Thompson, and Butch Henderson. Noven Ma son and Jimmie Terrill, both jun ors, round out the guard corps. Commenting on the team yester iay, Talbart fcuid that in the years Lhat he has been at the helm of the Eagle cagers he has never seen the spirit and determination and eager less to learn that this year's squad possesses. "Like I said, we'll be green on experience but I feel that on a given night we will be capable of giving any team on our schedule i tfood game," said Talbert. The Eagles were scheduled to neet Swansboro in a home contest Friday night but due to the state :hampionship football game being >layed that night in Beaufort, the lit has been moved up to Thurs lay night. A girls' contest will pre cede the varsity contest and will jet under way at 7:30.
