They punted to Owen and with 3:59 left in the first quarter, Tim Wilson swept left end for a 72 yard romp. Keith Duncan kicked the extra point and Owen led by a score of 7 to 0. West again played ball control but were forced to punt two minutes into the second quarter. Tim Wilson took the first play from scrimmage for a 30-yard score and again Keith Duncan powered his way for 33 yards on three carries and scored both the touchdown and the two point conversion.* Barely into the third quarter, Mitchell struck with a long pass. The kick-off went over Wilson’s head but he quickly picked up the ball and ran. untouched, 95 yards. For Owen’s third and last touch down Keith Duncan bulled his way for two more points. The rain was becoming harder and both teams stuggled just to handle the ball at all on the muddy field. Final score-Owen 30, Mitchell 0. The Freshmen team was presented a trophy in the pep rally Friday, honoring their undefeated season and Con ference Championship. Record good for JVs by Dan Ward The 7-0 Owen Warponies are not only conference Junior Varsity champs, but they finished the season with flair. While scoring an average of 28 points per game, the fresh men held their opponents to a mere 5.7 points - an im pressive record for defense as well as offense. Statistically speaking, Tim Wilson stands out as a prime prospect for next year’s varsity. Wilson not only wrapped up the most yardage and points of the JV backs, but he sacked the most opponents - an average of 11.88 per game. Keith Duncan also stands out. Averaging a whopping 12.98 yards per carry, Duncan personified the rushing ex cellence of the Warponies, a team that scored only two touchdowns on passes, both by Wayne Padgett. Second only to Wilson, Greg Buckner was the tacL ingest Warpony on this year’s squad with an average of 6.33 unassisted tackles per game. He was followed by Duncan, 5.3; and Ricky Barlett, 4.0.

The district and North Carolina champion will be decided Saturday at 2:30 p.m. on the Warren Wilson field. In view of the fact that the second and third ranked teams, High Point and Pfeiffer College are both from the High Point area, Warren Wilson passed on its perogative to host that game. It will be played 'niursday at High Point Although Warren Wilson carries a 232 point rating, compared to 196 for High Point and 189 and 183 for Pheiffer and Guilford, Coach Hank Steinbrecher is guarded about the Owls’chances. “We are going to have to stay healthy. We don’t have the reserve strength we had at the beginning of the season. In juries can knock us out of it.’ To make the most of his limited manpower, Stein brecher has installed a defensive formation in recent practice sessions that will -jLgT North I PB Carolian 1 FARM BUREAU Insurance Marc WQaon Home phone 686-7128 DIVIDENDS PAID For the 11th consecutive year.

Warren Wilson is short. You can score on them with head shots. So, we’ re going to have to mass our defense, and the team that will make the fewest mistakes on defense is the team to go on to meet the South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama winners in the Southeastern finals.’ Recent heavy rains have kept the Owls away from the soccer field. However, Steinbrecher feels it will be in good shape by Thursday. “We are going to have it rolled on Wednesday to put it w in top condition. They’ll pray there is no more rain until after Saturday.' When Steinbrecher speaks of the importance of defense in playoff play, he is speaking from experience. The Owls carried away the District 6 title in 1975 with a team whose forte was strong defensive play. He sees no soft spot in the four finalists. "They are all strong. With 15 North Carolina NAIA colleges, you don’t get this far without being good.' At playoff time Warren Wilson is 7-3-2, Pheiffer is 12-3 High Point is 9-5 and Guilford is 10-5-2.
