Pirates blow past Northampton Hurricanes Friday MURFREESBORO - Defense again proved to be the key Friday as the |) Pirates beat Northampton West to advance to the third round of the 1A playoffs. Perquimans held the Hurricanes to 81 total yards on offense and only al lowed two first downs as the Pirates won 9-0. They now face the third round game at Tabor City on this Fri day. Coach Flippen said that the game plan was to make the Hurricanes score on the Pirate defense. "Our de ft fense hasn't given up a touchdown all year,' said an excited Flippen. From the start of the game defense was the key for the Pirates. It wasn't long before the Hurricanes knew Per quimans meant business. Hurricane quarterback Quincy Crossen fell back to make a pass in the first quar ter and was immediately hit by Fletcher for a quarterback sac. The early minutes of the game, and the whole first quarter were charac terized by vicious hits from both de fenses. Both teams seemed shaken after some of the hits, and running backs from both squads shook their heads after some plays. Both teams seemed to be at a stale mate, and the only first down came to the Pirates on a roughing the kicker penalty. The first break in the game came at the end of the first quarter follow ing a Pirate fumble. Beginning on the Pirate 37, the Hurricanes lost a total of eight yards in just three plays. On the fourth down, the Hurricanes elected to pass the ball from a punt formation. The play almost worked, but Kirby Ransom dropped the ball. The big play of the game came shortly after Ransom dropped the ball. Anthony Johnson took a pitchout and got a terrific block from team mate Rodney Welch. Johnson raced 55 yards down the right sidelines for a touchdown. Johnson became every ones hero, and the large Perquimans crowd cheered. During the whole first half the Pi rate Defense kept getting the team out of tough situations. The Pirates fumbled the ball twice within the fi nal three minutes of the first half within their own territory. With 29 seconds the Pirates Jiad a close call as they dropped the ball on the 19 yard line. After a nine yard pass play that ended with an incom plete pass, the Hurricanes lined up for a 28 yard field goal with one sec ond left on the clock. Northampton went for another trick play, but once again they made a mistake. The ball was snapped, but batted away by Xavier Everett. Line backer. Darnell Mallory was there to intercept the deflection. The Pirate defense ruled the sec ond half. The Hurricanes obtained just one first down on an 18 yard scramble by Crossen. The play came midway through the third quarter. The Hurricanes deepest penetra tion in the game was on the Pirate 35 yard line with less than two minutes remaining in the game. The Pirates won the game follow ing another failed pass play by Northampton. Beginning at the Northhampton 49 yard line the Pi rates drove to the nine yard line. On fourth down from the nine yard line Xavier Everett kicked a 26 yard field goal. Donald Porch, the Hurricanes star running back was limited to just 26 yards and 13 carries. Porch gained over 1,300 yards and scored 16 touch downs in the regular season. Coach Flippen stated that the Pirates kept two linebackers on Porch throughout the game. Flippen said that the strategy of the game differed from the two teams meeting in Hertford. In Hert ford both teams played it safe. On Friday the Pirates gambled, and it payed off. 'I think they thought they could blow us away.' said Flippen. After Friday's win the Pirates travel to Tabor City, who defeated Richland Friday 36-16 If Perqui mans beats Tabor City on Friday, they will host the west representative for the state championship game.
