6 The Perquimans Weekly, September 25, 2002 Pirates make it 17 straight at Graveyard SUSAN R. HARRIS The Pirates made it 17 in a row at The Graveyard Friday night with a 38-14 win over visiting Pasquotank. Senior Mike Revels start ed at quarterback, with Chris Hartsfield moving over to wideout for Friday’s game. Center Brian Owens was brought up from junior varsity to replace an injured Brock Lamb. There were a few miscues with the new line-up, but it also yielded three touchdown passes in the contest. “The change-over at quarterback worked well with Harsfield making a change to wideout,” said Pirates head coach Harrell Thach. “Chris gives us great hands at that position with (Jeremiah) Billups at the other end. With Revels at quarterback, we can pass or run.” The pass came into play early when Revels hit Billups with a 25-yard touchdown strike less than 7 minutes in. Revels hit Billups again in the second quarter with a 15-yarder that yielded six. The last airborne attempt was a 31-yard throw to Hartsfield for a score in the fourth stanza. The addition of the pass was a big plus for the Pirates, but it did not signal the end of the Pirates’ ground game. Jevonne McClenney hit paydirt in the first quarter with a 41- yard run, breaking tackles before hitting open field. Dennis Hunter also scored a touchdown with a nine yard run around his left side. McClenney rushed for 154 yards; Edward Meadows, 78; Kevin Ulman, 63; Hunter, 59; Revels, 36; Curtis Johnson, 13; and Hartsfield, seven. “Chris Hartsfield did a great job blocking and pass receptions along with Jeremiah Billups,” Thach said. “Mike Revels made the change to quarterback with a great effort.” In addition to making the offensive changes, both Hartsfield and Revelswere tigers on defense, with both leveling Pasquotank ball carriers. Revels also inter cepted a Panther pass in the third period. Terrell Woodard ended Pasquotank’s final scoring attempt with an intercep tion in the endzone. Blake Robinson and Brandon Askew were also* defensive leaders. ’ After recovering from the shut-out at Manteo with* a win at home, the Pirates* must prepare this week for- a potent passing attack^ expected from the Vikings ■ when Plymouth visits’ Friday night. “The defense will have to! step up to stop the passing’ game of the Linson show,”' Thach said of the upcom-* ing match-up. ' JVs beat Panthers onroad SUSAN R. HARRIS The Perquimans JVs used a second-half offen sive surge to take a 16-0 win over homestanding Pasquotank last Thursday. In the third quarter, Jonathan Boyce hit Charles Ormond with a 35-yard touchdown pass. Ormond also scored the conversion. In the fourth stanza, Kendall Ferebee bulled over from the four for a touch down while Anthony Banks added the conversion. Jaman Overton rushed for 125 yards on 17 carries, while Ormond collected 11 yards on 12 tries. Banks col lected 41 yards. Boyce was 2-for-5 passing for 45 yards. While the Pirates are still having trouble holding onto the football, according to head coach Robert Spruill, he said he was pleased with the offensive production in the game. “The offense worked really well,” he said. “Charles Ormond runs real hard. Anthony Banks is an explosive runner. Boyce had to real nice passes. After the first quarter, we did a good job, consistently moving the ball.” Spruill said back Eddie Gilbert was sidelined for most of the game, nursing an ankle injury from the Manteo game. Credit for the improve ment in the offense as the game wore on was due to assistant coach Mike White’s working with the offensive line during the game, making adjustments as Pasquotank changed its defense. Defensively, Kelvin Linton, Boyce and Michael Castelloe led the team. Linton had 10 tackles. “Defensively, we kept them out of the endzone, kept them pretty much at mid-field,” Spruill said. “We still need to improve our tackling technique and learn our positions, but Bill Mewborn did a great job preparing the defense.” The Pirates were sched uled to travel to Plymouth Thursday, but will instead host Southside in a non conference game. Lady Pirates take Gates, Plymouth last week SUSAN R. HARRIS The Lady Pirates defeat ed the Lady Vikings in Gates County last Thursday, 3-0 (15-10, 15-9, 15-11). Senior Megan Stallings led the way with 15 points, including four aces, and five kills for the match. “Megan got the first game started with five straight points and sparked us with six straight points in game three when we were down 10-2,” said Perquimans head coach Carolyn Rogers. Jamie Stallings added 10 points and four kills, while Kim Whitley was strong at the net with five kills and three blocks to go with four points. Amanda Alexander con tributed eight points, two aces, and a kill. Carrie Harrell served four and Christy Rountree, two. Elizabeth Brown had two points and a kill. Rogers said Gates was a tough opponent. On Thursday, the Lady Pirates defeated a weak but scrappy Plymouth team 3-0 (15-1, 15-12, 15-2) in Hertford. “We played well the first game, but lost focus the second game with bad served and dropped balls,” Rogers said. “We got it together for the third game.

The middle school football team would go on to defeat Moyock 50-6 in the team’s home opener. “The guys came out and played well,” said Tigers head coach Luther Overton. “Even though Moyock wasn’t that strong, the team stayed focused. They did a real good job both offensively and defen sively” Fletcher ended the evening with 202 yards rushing and 18 in the air, good for five touchdowns. The eighth grade running back got good hand-offs from quarterback Barron Lane, and tremendous blocks from fullback Michael Austin. Austin picked up 78 yards himself on the night, scoring the Tigers’ final touchdown on a six- play, 46-yard drive set up by Austin stripping a Moyock back, forcing a fumble. Running back Anthony Sloyer rounded out the fearsome four some, earning 52 yards and scoring four touch downs and a conversion.

Sloyer would take it in two plays later from the 29. Fletcher added the conversion. The Tigers held Moyock to four-and-out after the kick-off and head coach Luther Overton rewarded Austin’s great blocking for his teammates by allowing him to carry the football on six consecutive carries, most of those dragging defenders with him, to the goal line. Fletcher added the conversion on a double reverse. The Tigers were up 50-6 with 1:24 on the game clock. Jordan, Austin, Sloyer, Fletcher and Shawn Hunter were defensive dynamoes, combining for three sacks, rushing the quarterback all night and wrapping up running backs.
