Bat back to tbe bright spots.
Mehrto Costoo, Morgan's
player of the game, once
again topped his previous week's
performance, rushing IK yards in It
carries.
After three games. Cotton leads all
wiwen in the area in total rushing
yards, with 3SS in Scarries, and with
his 70-yard touchdown run on the first
play from scrimmage, he has a
scored four touchdowns this season.
Linebacker Mark Lindsey, the
defensive player of the game, also
outdid himself Friday with 18 tackles
and three fumble recoveries. Tackle
Sam Forehand, finally getting the
green light to play when the school
received his transcripts from New
York, had 10 tackles, and linebacker
Troy Jackson had 12 tackles.
Other tackling standouts were
James Riddick (T), Coston (S) and
Harlow Ferebee (?>.
But those were just about the only
bright spots in an otherwise dismal
performance. Though it appeared it

Coston's third -quarter bobble of a
pitch landed WeMoa's only touch
down. A short pass, one of two
completions in five attempts, was
good for tke two-point conversion.
The Perquimans defense held
Wekkw to 33 yards total offense. 16
yards passing and TS yards rushing in
44 attempts, but missed their best
opportunity midway through the
final quarter, when a high snap over
the Charger punter's head could have
put the ball deep into Weldon's
territory, but the punter scooped up
the ball and eluded enough
Perquimans' ticklers to run the ball
back to the line of scrimmage.
Morgan believed had Perquimans
tackled the man before he'd gotten
too far, the offense would have had
good field position without being
under so much pressure to score, as
they were a several minutes later
when the snap was again over the
punter's head, only now there were
less than two minutes to play.
But in spite of the fumbles and
missed opportunities. Morgan at
tributed tkc lots to a lack of mental
preparation. "They were aggressive
and we weren't." he added.
The jayvees also lost this week,
opening at home against a tough
Bertie team. lJ-t, though coach
Anthony Downing wasn't nearly so
disappointed in their performance.
"The defense played real well,
considering we've havent spent a
whole lot of time on it yet," he said.
Downing noted the fine play of
Vincent Foster, quarterbacking the
team well though he hasn't had much
experience. Running back Jimmy
Skinner played an "excellent game,"
scoring Perquimans' only touch
down. A James Key run tacked on the
ext-a two points.

Seasoned cast iron skillets should
not be scoured or kept in water any
longer than necessary. If seasoning
is lost, add enough vegetable oil to
cover the bottom and cook gently
over low heat for 15 minutes.

wedges with a sprinkle of line juice
and a dusing of powerdered ginger.
If dampening is already done and
there's no time for ironing, wrap
dampened items in plastic base and
store in refrigerator or freezer. They
can remain up to two days before
mildewing. Chilled items iron more
easily anyway.
