SPORTS THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,2016 7 Pirates roll to 53-12 win over private school BY OWEN HASSELL The Daily Advance So much for Perquimans looking ahead to the follow ing Friday in Gatesville. The Pirates made sure to take care of business before the pivotal Coastal 10 Con ference showdown against Gates, evident in a 53-12 trouncing of Virginia private school Nansemond-Suffolk on Saturday afternoon. “This team won the state in their league last year,” Perquimans interim coach Aaron Burke said. “You can’t overlook teams whether it’s non-conference or not, we had to come play ball.” It was a non-conference game postponed from Friday night due to school being canceled that day at Perqui mans. Although the field was in good shape despite heavy rains that drenched the area from Tuesday-Thursday, per mission was not granted to play hence moving it to early Saturday afternoon. The day and time change brought with it a lighter crowd and plenty of summer like heat, the latter which wilted the Saints (1-3) by the second half. “We could tell that they were tired,” said Perquimans quarterback Dallas Hall, who ran for three touchdowns STAFF PHOTO BY KERI PAMPUCH DJ Johnson fights for more yardage during Perquimans’ 53-12 win against Nansemond- Suffolk (Va.), Saturday. and passed for another. “We saw they were moving a little slower, and they’re not very deep.” Although the Pirates (4-2, 2-0 Coastal 10) only boasted about six or seven more play ers, perhaps it made a differ ence. “Maybe the best played a big factor,” Burke said. “It got us the first quarter where we started off a little lazy.” And faced another deficit, this time 6-0 after a 57-yard pass play to James Madison commit Keshaun Moore. What followed was Per quimans hitting its stride on offense to the tune of 46- straight points before Nanse mond-Suffolk could muster a late touchdown run. By that point the clock was running without inter ruption, just the second time the Pirates have made that happen this season. The oth er was a 54-0 result against Creswell. Hall credits a rejuvenated offensive line that welcomed back from injury a senior up front in Garth Upton. There were certainly holes to run through for Duwan Williams, who finished with more than 200 yards and two touchdowns, as well as a third through the air thanks to a Hall pass. Saturday’s contest was capped off by a fumble re covery and return to the end zone by Michael Waters as well as a 59-yard touchdown scamper by Stanford Dant zler. The victory also keeps Per quimans’ season-long goals within reach, which includes a winning record, home play- off game, and yes, winning a conference championship. “It’ll be the biggest game and it’s the test to let us know where we are,” Burke said. “Gates is well-coached and plays good football.” “It’s anybody’s conference this year I believe, and we have a good chance to get it,” Hall said. “But this game will tell us a lot. We have to pre pare and go into it hard.” Wade Betts: Bugs can ruin your time outdoors ermethrin is a great in vention, it keeps bugs from bothering us out doorsy type people, but “it don’t do miracles.” Spray it on your clothes, let dry and it will keep the creepy crawlies away. Just don’t spray it on the clothes while wearing them. Permethrin even lasts through several washings. On a recent bow hunt I “dis covered” that it doesn’t last from the spring turkey sea son until archery season at the end of the summer. Mosquitoes are a prob lem during the late summer, finding bug spray that won’t alarm the deer is another problem. I’ve tried Repel with DEET, No Stinking Bugs, Skeeter Beater and several others, they all work and best I can tell they all put deer on high alert. One time I had a 5-pointer come in from up- tial Thermacell test was in wind and just before he was in bow range he stopped, put his nose in the air and would not come any closer. I’m not for sure what happened but I blamed it on my bug spray. From what I’ve been told Themacell is the answer. Thermacells use butane to heat a wafer or mat saturated with repellant, the resulting vapor creates a 15xl5-foot zone of protection. My family and I have been using them for a couple of years for night- time catfishing. They work, one at the bow of the Ranger and one at the stern. My ini- my backyard, I was changing the oil in my motorcycle and the mosquitoes were thick. My new Mosquito Repeller was still in the box, thinking this would be a good test I in stalled a butane cartridge and wafer and turned it on. In just a few minutes the “skeeters” were gone and I did my bike maintenance in peace. In the next few weeks I’ll be using my Thermacell for deer hunting. The instruc tions say to lay the unit on a flat surface with the grill facing up, but fellow hunt ers have told me that they will work effectively hang ing from a piece of cord. I hadn’t tried it before because it made sense that the wafer should be up because heat rises and I don’t have a flat surface in any of my stands big enough for me and a Mos quito Repeller. Mine now has a do-it-yourself lanyard. Ther- macell makes the original Re peller as well as lanterns and torches. The light portion of the lanterns and torches are battery powered, they work great for fishing and camp ing. We use our lantern on the back deck for bug free grilling and socializing. Soon I’ll know for myself how well Thermacells work in the deer stand. Hunting the edge of a swamp is different from hunting a pine woods. My Ulf E NIXON ■ WELDING & HARDWARE, INC last spring sprayed clothes worked just fine where there were no mosquitoes, but in the stand by the creek was a different story. At one point I thought they were going to carry me back to where the big ones were. I had applied Repel with 40 percent DEET to my hands, face and neck but my arms, legs, chest and back went unprotected and I paid the price. I’m tough, but that hunt ended early.
