Perquimans Pirates fall at Regionals By ERIC SKINNER The Perquimans Pirates ended the Troy Jackson era with a very emotional loss to Clayton at Wilson Flke in Wilson, N.C. Although Troy Jackson, the senior sharp-shooter and high scorer, put in 26 points it wasn't enough. The Pirates started off doing a very good job, on both defense and offense, but it appeared that Clayton was doing alot better. The Pirates played a very im pressive first period. They received their scoring from Jackson, Ronnie Ferbee, James Riddick and Dennis Hunter. The Comets scored first and then the Pirates came back to return the favor. After a few of fensive rebounds by Clayton's Arnold Vinson, Clayton was up by 19-14 at the end of the first period. Clayton opened up the second period with 4 unanswereed points. The Pirates quickly got on track with a jump-shot by Jackson and one by Hunter.

Coach Calvin Webster called a time out to talk to the sagging Pirates. Whatever was said ap peared to work as senior Brad Frierson made two passes to senior Melvin Coston, who made a quick lay-up, followed by James Riddick who made a successful steal and followed through for a stunning lay up. Jubilation went over the Pirates fans, but Clayton soon recovered and ran the Pirates up and down the court taking both offensive and defensive rebounds and the half-time score was 40-31 Clayton. The Pirates came back in the third period with impressive playing Jackson got into foul trouble and was benched. The Pirates reached into their bag of tricks and palled out other weapons. George Long, Charles Leigh and Teton Heid took the load off of Jacksons' shoulders. The Pirates could've used Jacksons but the "little guys " had something to prove. Teton Eeid, catching a rebound and throwing a outlet pass to Doug White, made a "net-popping, jump shot," leaving the score at the end of the third quarter, 72-55 Clayton. The fouth period was one of the longest of Pirates history, as Troy Jackson followed by Melvin Coston fouled out with 3:36 left on the clock. From that point Perquimans went into a slump. The Comets took ad vantage of this state and ended the game, 94-72 Clayton. FIXED RATE MORTGAGE LOAN MONEY AVAILABLE 60 Years Of Serving the Area Hertford Savings & Loan Assn. 121 N.
