tigers claw their w,
out of loss column
The Perquimans Union
Tigers completely dominated
* game with Knapp Junior
High last week but managed
to come away with only a 6-6
tie.
"We had three touchdown
passes dropped and that tells
us we could have and should
have won the game," said
Tiger coach Sid Eley .
Eley said that two turnovers
in the last two minutes of the
game also hurt the team's
chances of getting in the win
column for the first time this
season.
Knapp scored first on a
screen pass, but failed on its
extra point attempt. Prom
then on, Eley slid the Tiger
defense shut down the Knapp
offense.
Meanwhile, the Tiger of
fense was getting unleashed
for the first time this season
behind the passing of Teton
Reid.
Reid hit end James Walker
with a 20 yard pass in the third
quarter, but the Tigers also
Failed to convert on their extra
point attempt.
Eley was pleased with the
play of both his offensive and
defensive unit.
Offensive standouts in
cluded Reid and halfback
Jimmy Flythe. Defensively,
standout performances were
registered by ends Rob Collie
and Virgil Whltehurst, and
cornerback Alton James.
Ronnie Gordon performed
well going both ways at tackle.

Pirates falter once more
It wasn't even close as
Perquimans High School lost
their Albemarle Conference
opener 15-0 to the Currituck
Knights on their home field
Friday night.
Currituck quarterback John
Smith ran for one touchdown
and passed for another one in
sealing the victory 'over the
Pirates. The Knight defense
added two insurance points
with a first half safety.
The Perquimans offense
stayed deep in its own
territory for most of the game
and was unable to generate
any kind of sustained thrust.
While coach Celvin Webster
praised his team's defensive
efforts, he said that the unit
didn't make any breaks for the
Pirate offense.
Statistically, the Pirates
were not that far out of what
was primarily a rushing
ballgame, gaining 127 yards
on the ground compared to
Currituck's 187. Perquimns
gained 28 yards in the air to
Currituck's 38.
