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

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

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.
