A Tough Season Before a Youth Day crowd of 3,200, Chris Wingo kicked a school record field goal of 52 yards. However, Gardner Webb took a touch down from a P.C. fumble. Telford Holmes returned the favor for P.C, giving a 10-7 lead at the half. The smell of a P.C. victory disappeared as GW passed for two touch downs and intercepted a P.C. pass for another. The Hose couldn ' t come back, and lost to GW in a draining matchup, 13-35. The offense generated impressive stats, but turnovers cost P.C. yet again in their loss to Carson Newman, 0-19. After a long season, P.C. was down, but not out. In the 75th Bronze Derby Classic, P.C. struck dramatically on the first play from scrimmage, as Jimmy Lindsey scored on a 71 -yard touch down romp. Tension mounted in the home crowd when Newberry inched ahead14-13, but P.C. rose to the occasion to dominate the field. Scotty Mozingo completed two touchdown passes to Glenn Jackson and one to Del Barksdale in P.C. ' s decisive victory over the Indians, 35-20. The Bronze Derby returned to P.C. for the first time since 1982, making a hard season worthwhile for the Blue Hose. The offensive line springs a crucial block against GSW. Del Barksdale and Craig Hill show their PC pride. All statistics courtesy of David Smith. 19

Fighting Through . . . Presbyterian defeated Wofford 31-7 in Spartanburg to stay on the winning track for one more week. Three Terrier turnovers in the first quarter gave the Hose an easy 13 points, enabling them to coast over their rivals. A Homecoming crowd of 3,500 braved a damp, cold drizzle to view P.C. ' s victory over Catawba, 12-0. P.C. ' s defense showed why it was ranked 1 in the nation, while scores by Evander Gerald and John Clark charged the offensive game. The flags that waved in the fall breeze at Elon were not welcomed by P.C. fans. Penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct were a measure of Blue Hose frustration, as they fell to Elon, 13-36. Elon scored on their first possession, and led 17-1 Oat the half. Chris Wingo ' s field goal pulled the Hose within four, but they were unable to pull any closer. Nature dominated the outcome of the loss to Mars Hill, 10-12. Due to untimely turnovers, f ars Hill was able to slosh to an early 1 2-0 lead. Although they pulled to within two, P.C. ' s hopes for a playoff bid floundered in the muck. In a high-scoring battle, the Paladin offense proved too much. P.C. fell to Furman, 31-45. The two blocked punts to Furman in the first half gave Furman a lead they never relinquished. i I John Clark heads for the endzone through a wide open field. Tom Netting rounds the corner to attempt to block a field goal. Tim Pitts chafes to get back on the field. 18 sports
