BOBCATS HAND POTOMAC STATE 24-20 VICTORY Lees-McRae ended their season the way they began — turn- ing the ball over to the opponent. The Bobcats opened against Western Carolina JVs, fumbling eight times and losing seven. Ironically, against Potomac State in their finale, the Bobcats fumbled eight times and lost seven. The Catamounts converted three of the turnovers into touchdowns and, combined with a 49 yard field goal, was all they needed to defeat Lees-McRae 24-20. Lees-McRae ' s Joe Curro scored the first TD on a three yard run and Potomac State answered to make it 7-7. Wayne Dalton put the Bobcats ahead on a 14 yard run but a Potomac State 49 yard field goal made the score 14-10. Potomac State scored again to go up 17-14 and added another TD to make it 24-10. Paul Zdanek scored the final TD on a 48 yard pass from Frankie Walker but it was too little, too late for the Cats who ended their season 2-3 in the Coastal Conference and 5-5 on the year. ' ■•.

JOHNSON, DALTON LED BOBCATS, BLASTING VIKINGS, 42-30 Lees-McRae was minus two fullbacks and Don Johnson got the nod to start. The freshman carried 25 times and racked up 112 yards and scored three TDs on runs of 39, two and one yards. Wayne Dalton rambled 119 yards in 15 trips with the pigskin and had a TD nullified by the penalty. Frankie Walker scored once on a five yard run and threw two touchdown passes to Kenny Thompson covering 32 and 15 yards. John Gore hit three PATs and booted one field goal fo 41 yards to give the Bobcats the victory. Showing their disdain for their em- barrassing loss to Ferrum the week before, defensive tackle Doug Hubbard recovered a fumble on the Viking nine to set up the first TD and the defense played outstanding behind Hub- bard, Randy Hackworth. Tim Novak, Tim Lucas, Anthony Jones, Neal Musser, Rick Crosby, Keith Montgomery, Ron Doersam, Tommy Thompson, Willy McDonald, Paul Zdanek, and Stan Watson. Don Johnson bulls his way through Citadel line. Junior Brownlee sets sail against Eagle JVs. :• § Football 165

COASTAL CONFERENCE ALL-STAR The fans got their money ' s worth. The Coastal Conference Football Association and the 5th Quarter Club of Johnson City promised the fans an exciting wide open game and they got more than they bargained for as the South romped to a 43-19 victory in the sixth annual All-Star game. Frankie Walker, Lees-McRae quarterback, who was on loan to the North squad turned in a ster- ling performance and the South ' s Ron Doersam GAME ROUSING SUCCESS of Lees-McRae was voted the most valuable defensive award.
