Knapp Wins First By SHARON SAUNDERS CURRITUCK - The Knapp Knights of .Currituck unleashed a successful offense that pro¬ duced three touchdowns in a hard-fought victory over the Camden Rebels here Friday night. It was a great team victory,” commented Coach Sam Casey of Knapp. There was no one player to praise as I feel that all eleven boys played an outstand¬ ing game. It took a tremendous effort by our boys to come back after seven straight loses this season. I think this will help us against Manteo and we’ll be ready for them next Friday night.” The Knights were first cm the scoreboard in the second period when Gary Cartwright passed to Hallet Chatman for a 2-yard touchdown. Cartwright’s pass to Jay Dowdy around right end was good for the extra point. Camden broke into the scoring column in the second quarter al¬ so when Bruce Leary passed to Si Seymour for a 10-yard touch¬ down. Bruce Leary then handed to Clyde Leary for the extra poini. The Rebels started moving again a few minutes later when they recovered Knapp’s fumble on the kickoff. Bruce Leary con¬ nected with Mike Twlddy for a 33-yard touchdown. The extra point was no good putting Cam¬ den ahead at the half, 13-7. The Knights second scoring opportunity came when Camden was forced to take to the air and Chatman Intercepted on Cam¬ den’s 11 and ran to the six. Two plays later Cartwright passed to Mike Vaughn for the tying score. Cartwright carried the ball in for the extra point which proved to be the margin of vic¬ tory.
