the third quarter as Washington County came from behind to defeat host Boyle County 14 7 here riday night Coach Jimmy Com manders beat Boyle for the fourth straight year while improving their 1984 mark to 2 0 The Rebels must now regroup from their season opening loss as they face crosstown rival Danville 2 0 this season in their next outing defense kept us in the game tonight'' said Reed sively we are still making metal mistakes and turning the ball over We are a senior team but we have experience "Our passing game didn't go the way I expected tonight We were on the verge of breaking two orthree plays but defense wouldn't give Boyle mentor Ed Rail was disappointed with the defeat and said was a typical Boyle Washington game We played and other than one play run) we had people in the right position "Our execution there on offense and we were never consis tent Washington is a good team though and our kids will bounce back from this We quit and we will play better next Eric Smith brother of Universi ty of Kentucky gridders Jeff and Larry Smith pounded out 81 yards Boyle Ronnie Walls attempts to outrun Washington Steven Linton Br i xli i 3g 1 i JBB 2 11 1 in 16 carries for the winners The Rebels however managed only 46 total yards and three first downs in the game as Washington dominated the second half Penalties and mistakes plagued both teams early and it was a mistake that set up only score Steve 32 yard punt hit Washington senior Howard Joe Young on the leg at the WC three yard line and Scott Keeton recovered for the home team Three plays later Dale Helton crashed in from the one and Jon conversion made it 7 0 with 9:45 left in the half Washington moved 72 yards in 10 plays to score with Smith tally ing from five yards out Bill Pettus booted the conversion to knot the score and take what momentum Boyle had and put it back with Washington thought getting after getting that big break and scoring we had all the said Rail then we let Washington go right down the field and The two teams traded fumbles in the third period before Washington scored its winning touchdown Railley went 51 yards for the score and Pettus booted the extra point again Washington dominated the ac tion after that touchdown as Boyle which ran 47 plays in the first three quarters had the ball for only four plays in the final frame The Commanders twice threatened to put the game out of reach as they reached the BC four once and the three on another drive But each time the Boyle defense held give in when we had the ball with a chance to score said Reed was disap pointed that we score but we never quit fighting Our kids just decided in the second half that they were not going to STATISTICS Unofficial statistics for the game were as follows irst downs 3 12 Yards rushing 40

drop offs Late August is a good time to consider fishing drop offs That point was poignantly brought home to me in a recent bass club tournament on Dale Hollow My depth finder suffered a mild coronary so I find the drop offs to fish My partner and I managed to catch four fish each which earned us fourth and fifth places but one of the other boats found a few of the drop offs and shall we say the The apparent trick to fishing drop offs is deciding what type drop offs to fish and how deep to fish them There are basically two types of drop offs: and A ledge is the type of structure that has a radical change in vertical depth over a short horizontal distance A slope is the type of structure where there is a significant change in vertical depth but it is more gradual in relation to horizontal distance The amount of depth change on these drops is sometimes critical There are times when a sharp ledge drop off of as little as three feet can be the key to success while at other times a sloping drop of 20 feet will be the proper pattern Most drop offs are located on or near some type of point Proximity to deep water and cover are two of the most critical ingredients for a drop off I asked three local tournament fishermen for their opi nions on the types of drop offs to fish The fishermen I interviewed were Ronnie Hardwick of Danville Carl Anderson of Lancaster and Kyle Pankey of Garrard County HARDWICK: change in depth can make a difference but I prefer points with the old creek or river channel on one side or near by I also prefer to fish a sloping drop off with stumps on it as op posed to a straight drop ANDERSON: make much difference to me how shallow the shallow side of the drop off is as long as there is deep water close by not much on straight drops I like a steep slope with lots of stumps trees or PANKEY look for a channel drop off with stumps whether its on a point or not I like a sharp drop (ledge) where the depth changes by 10 to 15 You might ask yourself what would be the primary difference in these two types of drop offs? One of the theories is that fish can be caught on a when they are actively and aggressively feeding or preparing to feed However a will be more productive after a cold front has moved through since the fish will tend to suspend closer to the steep ledges This may make them more catchable than if they were suspend ed in open water over a The techniques used in fishing these two types of drop offs are actual ly very different and require different skills In fishing a slope the bait is generally worked in short with most strikes coming as the bait Peckler's pointers By Darren Peckler Simpson TD passes lead Lions to win i LANCASTER Quarterback iDoug Simpson completed only two passes for Garrard County ridaybut both went for touchdowns toJeff Ray as the Golden Lions downed host Berea 15 0 Garrard now 2 0 after beating Berea for the third straight time limited the home team to just 98 yards total offense and came up with five turnovers to secure the victory The winners scored on the opening series when Simp son a sophomore passed 15 yards to Ray a 5 10 160 pound senior Kenny Allen ran for the conver sion to make it 8 0 wanted to control the ball and we used almost eight minutes in our first said winning coach Larry Woods coach expect a team to do any bet ter than Berea picked off a Simpson pass at the GC 48 yard line in the se cond period but on the next play Delbert Monhollen recovered a fumble Simpson then hooked up with Ray for a 48 yard scoring strike kick made it 15 0 Late in the half Berea had a chance to score when it recovered a Garrard fumble the GC 26 Bo Barnes and Allen broke up pass plays before junior Joby Watkins intercepted a pass in the end zone with just 12 seconds left on the clock Berea took the second half kickoff and drove to the GC 24 before Charles Abney picked off a pass with 5 30 left in the period On the second play Allen fumbled but again the Garrard defense held defense made another strong stand in period four after a fourth down snap sailed over punter head Berea took over at the GC 10 but could not score Barnes and Allen had quarterback sacks as the winners took over at the 22 the second half I got real conservative with our said Woods want to take any chances and beat ourselves We made some mistakes that hurt but our defense came to life every time outplayed them and the statistics show that this week Our defense just played a heck of a game and our pass coverage was unreal We put pressure on the quarterback and did a great defen sive job covering the Abney carried 14 times for 63 yards and Rogers rushed 15 times for 63 yards as Garrard amassed 134 yards on the ground Simpson Staff Photo by Bill Vaught jfei' hhhI to Doug Simpson threw two touchdown passes to lead Garrard County to a 15 0 win over Berea riday was two of four throwing for 63 yards The Lions were penalized 75 yards to 45 but had nine first downs to seven for the losers Watkins led the defense with 10 tackles while Rogers had seven and Randy Ash and Barnes six apiece game really worried me because I expected Berea to be better than it was last said Woods was a big win for us and we are certainly happy to be 2 0 Wayne defeats Casey 21 8 LIBERTY Visiting Wayne County scored two times in the se cond period and went on to beat Casey County 21 8 here riday night The Rebels stayed in contention until Dewayne Winchester threw 20 yards to Alan Hopper in the fourth quarter to turn a 14 8 Wayne advantage into a 21 8 lead Bob Limer scored on a one yard run for Wayne after a scoreless first period Limer then increased the lead when he broke free for an 84 yard touchdown jaunt Jim Daniels booted each conversion for a 14 0 halftime lead Casey got on the scoreboard in the third frame when sophomore Keith Tarter passed 26 yards to senior Keith Buis The same duo also hooked up on the conversion pass The Rebels were forced to play without starting quarterback Doug Tarter He injured a knee in a motorcycle accident and his status for the upcoming game against Garrard County is still unknown played well except for 105 yards in said coach rank Parker falls back to the bottom or while the bait is coming over structure such as stumps These types of strikes are usually easier to detect In fishing a ledge the bait is worked in the traditional manner to the edge of the drop then allowed to free fall the full depth of the drop off The strikes will probably occur on the free fall and are more difficult to detect Line watching is a necessity Probably the most difficult part of fishing drop offs is to locate the depth at which fish are holding There is no simple or easy method for determining this factor This is simply a matter of trial and error As a rule of thumb its easier for me to start fishing shallow then gradually work deeper Also if the fish happen to be shallow early be able to have sone success quickly I asked the three fishermen what type of baits they would use to fish drop offs this time of year HARDWICK: first choice is a 5 inch black with chartreuse tail Gator Tail worm I use a five sixteenth ounce sinker and 12 14 pound test line Occasionaly throw a three eighths ounce black short arm spin ner bait with a No 5 blade and dress it with either a white or black Uncle Josh No 11 pork ANDERSON there is a moon throw a black with chartreuse tail worm If there is no moon choose a black grape with a fire tail worm I always use 14 pound test line and either a one fourth ounce or five sixteenth ounce sinker also throw a three eighths ounce lead headed jig If there is no moon use a solid black or solid brown jig with a No 11 Uncle Josh pork frog in either black or brown If there is a moon I opt for a black and chartreuse or brown and orange jig with a No 11 pork PANKEY: like a black with chartreuse tail or a black grape with chartreuse tail worm If fishing shallow water go to a shorter worm (5M inches) but for deeper water pick a 712 inch worm use a three sixteenth ounce or quarter ounce sinker and 12 14 pound test line no matter what the depth or size of the ishing a drop off is no magic solution or answer to the summer duldrums but it can be another weapon in the bass arsenal need a good topographical map of the lake and a working depth finder Thanks for reading hope these tips prove useful Catch a lot and keep what you need but release some of them a wise
