BOBCATS BLANK MARS HILL JVS, 25-0 Lees-McRae 14-3-11 did not look impressive in its 25-0 win over the Mars Hill JVs, but used a stingy defense and several new faces in winning its fourth game of the season over a lackluster Lion jayvee team. The Bobcats were plagued with penalties, being flagged for 13 for 135 yards, while the Lions were awarded nine penalties for 46 yards. The Bobcats held the Lions to 87 total yards offense, allowing only 61 yards in 45 attempts on the ground and only 26 yards through the airways as the Lions could complete only three of 13 attempts, with one interception by Bobcat John Champagne. Todd Daggs got the Bobcats on the scoreboard ln the second quarter after a scoreless first period with a three-yard rung Shannon Carter added the extra point. Charlie Stepp added a 47-yard field goal in the third period and Frank Ryder crashed over from the two, but the run for extra point failed and Lees-McRae led 16-0. In the fourth period Daniel Howell, the Bobcats' third kicker in the game, booted a 27-yard field goal and sub-quarterback Kevin Bradley ripped off a 10-yard run with only :05 seconds remaining on the clock to make the score 25-0. Carter's kick for the extra point was wide. -. g lgg fsif g A W .ttt DAGGS SPARKS LEES-McRAE BY WESLEY Tailback Todd Daggs rushed for 141 yards on 26 carries and one touchdown to lead Lees-McRae to a 27-9 win over Wesley College in a Coastal Conference contest in Dover, Delaware.

LADY BOBCATS IMPROVE UNDER COACH KEITH WALKER . . . The Lees-McRae Lady Bobcats lost their second close game in a row on their road trip to Raleigh and continued to be snake bit in a close contest. Louisburg came from be- hind to tie the score in regulation, 65-all, and take a narrow 73-72 win in overtime to drop Lees-McRae's record to 1-3. It was the opener for Louisburg College. The Lady Hurricanes trailed Lees-McRae at halftime, . . Head Coach Keith Walker knew after the semester that he had lost starting point guard Jackie Lowery to the battle of the books, but he was not ready for the misfortune that hit his squad this year. Sophomore Miriam Sorrells did not return to the team for personal reasons and sub-point guard Nikki Baker under- went knee surgery and was lost for the season. Starting forward sophomore Mary Patterson had to drop out of school due to illness. Walker's Lady Bobcats were down to seven players as they faced the crux of their conference schedule. 'We had very little depth to start with, Walker said. The girls had to play forty minutes with little rest. Teams started to wear us down with substitutions. The Lady Bobcats con- tinued to play hard and despite the adversity we beat Chowan and Brevard in the tourneyf' 84 Basketball 31-24, and could never catch up until Pam Joyner hit her only two points of the night with :02 seconds left to send the game into overtime. Joyner took a 25-foot desperation shot that stripped the nets and knotted the score at 65-all. Lees-McRae was led by Angie Henderson with 31 points, followed by Jackie Lowery's 213 Kat Blackburn chipped in ten. Jackie Lowery 1101 puts cz move on a Walters State opponent as Angie Henderson 1422 calls for the ball. The Lady Bobcats' comeback bid fell short, 79-70. Henderson drives for two while lbelowl Blackburn moves to the bucket.
