These Yellow Jackets are gunning for a third straight Eastern 3-A championship and so far have blown down opponents by such margins as 47-0 56-24 47-0 and 47-6 Things could have been more gorey than that but Coach Paul Gay pulled off his shock troops early in some instances even by intermission Jone1 of course is the main weapon in the Sanford attack He weighs 190 and after four games has scored touchdowns nine and rushed for 306 yards Gay labels him as "tre-emndous in every department" including at linebacker where he labors on defense It has been rumored that one school has offered scholarships to the entire backfield which would be a nice package deal but Gay wouldn't confirm that times before he was knocked off his feet" Opponents also must keep close watch on Covington who at 165 pounds can "run as hard as any of them" and ranks high in the blocking and receiving department The Sanford strength stretches all the way down its line though and particularly in the areas where tackle Jay Overton (190) Jimmy Lassiter (205) and Neal Godfrey (200) work "Overton" continued Gay "is rugged and runs the 50 in six flat That'3 faster than most of our backs can run it He's built low to the ground is hard to block and is very agile" An exceptional golfer Overton can knock in birdie putts with the same skill he can knock down opposing ball carriers which means he is fully equipped to pursue golf or football on the collegiate level Lassiter and Godfrey must be recognized as prospects too but the supporting cast of guard Joe Faulk (175) center -fa" Jeff Clark are adept performers This is a team with tremendous experience It has 24 seniors 10 of whom start and no signs of "senior-itis" "We've got pretty good depth" admitted Gay whose record at Sanford reads 57-26-5 "We didn't start (he season with it but the depth has come on Everybody we have has played in our first three games and this has helped the enthusiasm" Gay can afford to give his regulars a rest by simply calling Marty Foushee Ted Key Billy Overton Dennis Wicker Line wood Jones and Tommy Rampson off the bench for defensive duly They can sting ball carriers All this does not make Sanford immune to defeat but if the Yellow Jackets lose a game this fall it most likely will come on a night when the ball is bouncing crazily the fates are working against them and their opponents are playing way over their heads this fall It has an all-purpose phenom Steve Jones who can run block tackle and catch passes so expertly that the "Bear" and everybody else would like to have him visit their campus for a weekend fall in love with the sure you're successful Your part? iic yiays iui arm luq tiign School's eleven Danny son of Mr and Mrs William Hoell is a 5-11 150-pound freshman Not only is he already a starter for Coach Roy Lupton's team he's the leading rusher and leading scorer He'd averaged over 100 yards for the first three games prirr to the contest at Grifton Friday night and had scored three of his team's four plus another that was called back He had two 45-yard runs one for a touchdown Hr's a two-way standout Coach Lupton points out Beside being offensive left halfback he plays defensive halfback and has earned a nick- You must be aggressive have excellent background record and iii ik nnn tn £75 nnn nnar 1 Vj SO Jones atlng capital place and stick around for four years There isn't a Jones at all positions of course but the Yellow Jackets do appear to be stocked with the necessary speed savvy power finesse Call Frank Osborne at the Holiday Inn 1 Danny Hocll Vanceboro standout Norm ana mgnway 401 Ralciqh North Carolina between 7 PM PM Monday night September 30 and all day Tuesday October 1 Telephone (VI?) 828-2561 O'Brien Leads Way Appalachian ichmond Downs Davidson Texas Tech Pulls Upset Over Texas AAA Or write: enterprise VOUNG COMPANY ON THE GO!

in its home games even defeats it shouldn't expect any pre-game publicity or much acclaim over later feats It is also hurting its outstanding players' chances for all-star recognition Suggestion file:

Pasquotank Central Coach Richard Kemp says anyone who saw the 67-0 game last week knows his boys didn't pour it on the opponent Ten different boys scored and third-stringers were responsible for the last-quarter 27-point barrage "I'm not going to tell the (reserve) boys not to score" he says He agrees first-stringers ought not to be in the game with a minute left as has occurred in the case of another high scoring game not involving his potent team Sanford Coach Paul Gay says he's always believed in getting as many points as possible the first half but coasting afterwards by substituting liberally The latter stages of a runaway game could cost the services of a topnotch player by injury some coaches point out as another reason not to "pour it on" The seventh annual Durham Basketball
