Perquimans Pirates fell short
against Manteo Friday night
By KEN CASTE LLOE
The Perquimans Pirates were
handed their second conference
defeat of the year by the Manteo
Redskins last Friday night at
Memorial Field. Manteo held on to
the 14-13 victory after the Pirates
failed to score on a two-point con
version with 9:44 remaining in the
final period.
The Redskins made a costly
mistake early in the game when a 59
yard touchdown rim by tailback Tuck
McMurran was called back by the
official due to a clipping penalty on
the Redskins.
Manteo' s first scoring drive of 80
yards, started with 2:05 left in the
first quarter. The Redskins scored on
an 8-yard run by McMurran with QB
Don Tywne kicking the point-after
touchdown making the score 7-0.
The Pirates came charging back
jn their next possession with Richard
Thach and Alton James grinding out
yard after yard. Thach, a junior
fullback, scored from 2 yards out
with 5:06 remaining in the half.
Adding the extra point, the score was
tied 7-7.
The Pirate defense held the 'Skins
to only 20 yards on their next drive.
The Pirates regained possession in
good field position after an errant
snap caused a fumble on fourth
down, giving the Pirates an op
portunity to score.
The Pirates moved the ball down to
the 10-yard line before being stopped
by the 'Skins defense forcing a fourth
and goal situation. With :17 seconds
remaining in the half, Thach at
tempted a 28-yard field goal that was
wide to the right.
The Pirates made a costly mistake
in the early going of the second half
on their own 24-yard line. Tailback
Alton James had the ball stripped out
of his grip forcing a fumble that was
recovered by a Manteo defender.
Five plays later the 'Skins scored
on a 34-yard pass from split end
Manfred Gore to tight end Craig
Rush, giving Manteo a seven point
lead after the extra point.
The Pirates never gave up, moving
the ball from their own 20-yard line to
set up the final score of the game.
With 9:44 remaining in the game,
Reid dropped back to unload a 22
yard pass to Paul Whedbee, putting
the Pirates only one point down 14-13.
The Pirates elected to try for a two
point conversion with Thach

recieving the signal, but the Maoteo
defense stood Thach up short of the
goal line.
Manteo recieved the kick off and
ran only three plays on their next
possession before fumbling the
football on their own 33-yard line,
giving the Pirates an excellant
chance to score. But the offense of
the Pirates could not capitalize on the
break.
With fourth-and-four, Reid at
tempted a pass that fell incomplete
with 6:50 left to be played in the
game. The Redskins took over and
pounded out yardage while
managing to run over six minutes off
the clock before the Pirates could
regain possession of the ball. With
only 21 seconds left. The Pirates
threw two passes with the later being
intercepted to end the game.
The offensive attack for
Perquimans was led by Thach,
gaining 93 yards on 21 carries. James
and Reid finished the game with 74
and 30 yards, respectively. Reid
completed only 1 of 6 passes for 22
yards. Defensively, the Pirates were
led by Rodney Gordon with ten
tackles and one fumble recovery.
The Pirates will travel to Currituck
this week, with a 1-2 conference
record to take on the Currituck
Knights in another conference
match.

uet
s near
over one hundred tickets now sold.
There is a limit of 150 tickets, after
that there will be no more.
Tickets are $25.00 and include all of
the above plus your Ducks Unlimited

Magazine Subscription. The Ducks

evening for the ducks. Tickets are
avaiable from any committee
member and Chairman Martin
Fleetwood. Remember, the tickets
are very limited and once they're
gone there ain't no more.
There has been a recent report
concerning the upcoming waterfowl
season and the report is a good one.
Waterfowl numbers are up overall
with a decline in only a few species.
If we get some real winter weather,
we should have a good season. Black
ducks and Canvasbacks are really
hurting; but as usual, in their
wisdom, the Feds still opened the
season on them.
Their main concern is political, of
course, and not tfie well being of the
species. The people that pay for all
this, the hunters, get even less
consideration than the waterfowl. All
we can do is hope that it gets better.
