Mountain Heritage smashed 18-0
by Ron Price
Heavily favored Owen High
traveled to Burnsville Friday
night to take on the Mountain
Heritage Cougars and found
them unwilling prey before
prevailing 18-0 in a Little Mac
Conference football game.
The Warhorses appeared flat
after a big win over Hen
dersonville last week while the
Cougars were sky-high for the
defending league champs and
the result was a hard fought
struggle which went down to
the wire with Owen blowing
the game wide open in the
final two minutes.
Penalties and fumbles
plagued the Warhorses
through the first half and for
the fourth time in five games
the locals had a touchdown
called back due to an in
fraction. Brad LeVine, run
ning at tailback, loaded up a
long scoring bomb to brother
Mark in the first quarter but a
holding call brought the play
back. Later Robbie Rucker hit
Randy Scott with a screen
pass and the big fullback
bulldozed fifty yards to the
Heritage S yard line but again
the Warhorses were caught
holding. So instead of enjoying
a 14-0 lead the Warhorses went
to the dressing room at
halftime locked in a scoreless
Ue.
The Owen otfense clicked
immediately in the second
half and drove to the Heritage
15 behind the running of
Randy Scott and Brad LeVine.
The drive stalled there and the
Cougars took over but Brad
intercepted a Daryl Huskins
pass to give the ball right back
to the Warhorses at the 20.
From that point Scott did his
thing and plowed in for a
touchdown from the one.
Owen elected to go for two
points but Scott (according to
the officials) was stopped
inches short.
Late in the fourth period
with Owen marching again
Randy Scott fumbled on the
Cougar 35 and Heritage took
over with three minutes left.
Huskins went to the air trying
to hit wide reciever Ricky
Tipton on a sideline pass but
Will Goure stepped in and
picked it off. As the Warhorse
blockers methodically picked
off the Cougar persuers Goure
sped down the sideline 58
yards for the score that put the
game on ice. Robbie Rucker
attempted to run for the two
points but the speedy quar
terback was chased out of
bounds short of the goal and
Owen led 12-0
Three plays after the kick
off Owen was back in business
at their own 45 when Jack
Staggs made a spectacular
diving interception of a
Huskins pass. With the clock
running out and the Cougars
expecting short sideline
passes Rucker crossed them
up and hit Bobby Wilson
slanting across the middle.
Wilson cut diagonally across
the field and ran like a scared
rabbit to the Heritage four
yard line where Huskins
bumped him out of bounds.
Two plays later Scott scored
his eight T.D. of the year on a
two yard plunge through the
right side to run the score to
18-0- Brad LeVine carried on a
sweep for the two points and
appeared to cut the corner of
the end zone for the score but
once again the officials ruled
against the Warhorses and the
final score stood 18-0 in favor
of Owen.
The Warhorse coaches
protested the call and were
penalized 15 yards for un
sportsmanlike conduct on the
kick-off. With the ball teed up
on the 25 yard line, Scott
executed a perfect onside kick
and the point-hungry
Warhorses recovered on their
own 40. Rucker hit Scott with a
short pass and the crun

ching fullback added 25 yards
down the sideline where he
was finally brought down as
time ran out.
Once again the Warhorse
defensive unit played an
outstanding game, recording
their first shut out of the
season. The Owen pass rush,
led by John Payne and Larry
Duncan failed to sack Cougar
passer Daryl Huskins but kept
such relentless pressure on
him that his passes were
seldom on target. Will Goure,
Bobby Wilson and Brad
LeVine completely shut down
wide reciever Ricky Tipton,
limiting him to only one
reception the entire game.
The Warhorse linemen added
to the effort by stopping the
Cougars short on fourth down
three times in Owen territory.
It might also be noted that the
defense scored enough points
to win the game via Go urea
interception return.
The Owen offense had a
good night too, gaining 252
yards total with 166 yards
rushing. Brad LeVine came
into his own as a running
back,picking up 93 yards
rushing including a 40 yard
sprint in the first half. Randy
Scott had a mediocre (for
him) night, gaining only 67
yards but in all fairness the
powerful back was not used as
much as usual. Owen passed
frequently during the game
and enjoyed moderate success
completing 4 of 13 for 86 yards.
Add to that the two passes
which were called back in the
first half due to penalties and
two more long Rucker bomba
which were inches out of
Gourefc reach and the
Warhorse air attack beings to
look quite lethal.
This Friday night the
War horses return home to
friendly Shuford Field to host
the surprising West Hen
derson Falcons. Considered to
be one of the have-nots in the
Little Mac, the Falcons
shocked previously unbeaten
North Buncombe 1M last
week. In pulling the stunning
upset, West backs rushed for
3i0 yards including 180 by
Mike Guthrie and the Falcon
defense limited the potent
Hawk attack to 148 yards on
the ground. The Warhorses
can ill-afford to take the
Falcons lightly and should be
ready to play when the 8 p.m.
kick-off time rolls around.
