MORE MIDEASTERN 3A/4A ACTION NOW... JACKSONVILLE VISITS LANEY... BOTH TEAMS LOOKING FOR THEIR FIRST CONFERENCE WIN.
BUCCANEERS LOOKING TO GO CARDINAL HUNTING IN THIS ONE... BUT THE REDBIRDS WOULD PROVE ELUSIVE.
SO WOULD THE FOOTBALL.
THE BUCS HAD TROUBLE HANGING ON TO THE BALL.
ANDREW OLSON WITH THE QUICK DUMP OFF....THE BALL COMES LOOSE AND JACKSONVILLE WOULD RECOVER... BUT COULD THEY CAPITALIZE?
INDEED THEY COULD...JOHN CHILDRESS WITH THE QUARTERBACK KEEPER...JACKSONVILLE ON THE BOARD FIRST.
THIS WOULD BE THE START OF A BAD PATTERN FOR THE BUCS...FUMBLE NUMBER TWO... YOU DON'T WIN FOOTBALL GAMES IF YOU CAN'T HOLD ONTO THE BALL.
SAME RESULT: TD FOR JACKSONVILLE...THIS TIME JUSTIN JOHNSON GETTING INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE SIX..
THIRD TIME WOULD BE A CHARM, RIGHT? ... A NICE PASS PLAY BUT TACARIO WEST CAN'T HOLD ONTO THE BALL. AFTER MAKING THE CATCH..
CARDINAL BALL AGAIN... JOHNSON STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE FOR A NICE GAINER AS JACKSONVILLE ROLLS TO A 35-12 WIN OVER LANEY .

WE HAD AN INTERESTING NON-CONFERENCE TILT TONIGHT... WITH FIVE-AND-OH LAKEWOOD VISITING FOUR-AND-ONE TOPSAIL...
TOPSAIL PIRATES PUMPED UP FOR THIS ONE...AND IT'D BE A DEFENSIVE FIGHT THROUGHOUT..
DAN REDINGER PICKED OFF BY ERIC WILLIAMS WHO TAKES IT ALL THE WAY IN FOR THE ENDZONE...EXTRA POINT IS GOOD, LAKEWOOD UP 7-ZIP EARLY...
TOPSAIL TRYING TO GET GOING ON OFFENSE...REDINGER THIS TIME COMPLETE TO NICK
LEAVING ROOM FOR LAKEWOOD...WITH THE FAKE PUNT! JOSH PEQUES PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN
THAT'D SET UP THIS...ERIC WILLIAMS SHORT PASS TO DENNIS OWENS...PUTS LAKEWOOD UP 13-NOTHING BUT THE EXTRA POINT WOULD GET BLOCKED, AND THAT'D PROVE COSTLY..
PIRATES TURN ON DEFENSE...BROCK MCKOY BLOCKS THE PUNT...PETER GRATALE RECOVERS...TOPSAIL SCORES...THEY'D TACK ON ANOTHER T-D AND SQUEAK BY...14-13 THE FINAL.

SCREAMING EAGLES HOPING TO SOAR FOR OUR GAME OF THE WEEK
1ST PLAY 2ND QUARTER...NO SCORE...UNTIL NOW. LONG TOUCHDOWN RUN BY SENIOR RUNNING BACK CAMERON CLINTON. WILDCATS ON THE BOARD FIRST...
FAST FORWARD...NEW HANOVER WOULD ADD ANOTHER TD--STILL IN THE 2ND...BACKUP QB JORDAN BETTS GETTING THE START IN THIS ONE...HOOKS UP WITH JERMAINE JONES...21-ZIP WILDCATS
NEXT DRIVE...ASHLEY GETS something GOING...BUT SNAP GOES OVER THE HEAD OF ZACH FINNEGAN...
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FULL MOON?
FINAL MINUTE OF THE HALF, WILCATS UP 24-NOTHING, FINNEGAN GETS PICKED OFF BY TORRENCE EDWARDS..
THAT'D SET UP THIS...BIG LEAGUE BOOT. THOMAS TREXLER 48 YARDS AS TIME EXPIRED...27 TO NOTHING AT THE HALF
ASHLEY TRIED TO GET THEIR OFFENSE WORKING IN THE SECOND HALF...BUT THE NEW HANOVER DEFENSE STIFLED THEM AT PRETTY MUCH EVERY AVENUE..
WILDCATS WIN BIG ON THE ROAD, 40 TO 7.

SOME EXTRA TENSION IN THE STADIUM AT WHITEVILLE TONIGHT... BUT IT DIDN'T DISTRACT FROM THE MARQUEE NATURE OF THIS MATCHUP.
PENDER AND WHITEVILLE WERE TIED ATOP THE WACCAMAW COMING IN WITH ONE-AND-OH RECORDS.
BOTH OF THESE TEAMS KNOW HOW TO HIT.
AFTER THE NATIONAL ANTHEM..
THE WHITEVILLE WOLFPACK FIRED UP AS THEY HIT THE FIELD
THE PENDER PATRIOTS FAKE AN ON SIDE, FOLLOWED BY A SHORT KICK, LEAVING WHITEVILLE WITH GOOD FIELD POSITION
FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME WHITEVILLE QB BEN DEANS THROWS IT UP, COULD BE ANYBODYS BALL, BUT # 7 NUR ABDULLAH COMES DOWN WITH IT, AND TAKES IT TO THE HOUSE, 1 PLAY-70 YARDS FOR A TOUCHDOWN.
BUT THERES NO BLOCKING ON THE WEAK SIDE FOR THE POINT AFTER AND ZACK STANLEYS KICK IS BLOCKED BY PENDER'S JAMES HENRY.
6-0 WHITEVILLE...STANLEY KICKS OFF... RENNIE HARVEY FIELDS IT AND GETS JUST PAST THE 20 FOR THE OPENING DRIVE.
PENDER'S ON THE BALL NOW, ANTHONY BLANKS PITCHES TO DARRYL MOTT FOR A SLIGHT PICKUP--WE'LL BE SEEING MORE OF HIM LATER.
MICHAEL SUTTON RUNS INTO A WHITEVILLE WALL OF FOUR DEFENDERS HERE... NOTHING DOING.
DARRYL MOTT HERE AGAIN---HE MAKES SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING... PICKING UP A FIRST DOWN---BUT NO GAIN ON THE NEXT THREE LEADS TO A PUNT.
WHITEVILLE WITH THE BALL NOW, BEN DEANS GETS IT TO ABDULLAH, HE TRIES TO CUT UP FIELD, BUT IS HIT HARD BY PENDER'S TRAVIS CARTER.
PENDER... HANDOFF TO JAMES HENRY FOR A TEN YARD GAIN
ANOTHER HAND OFF TO HENRY HERE--HE WOULD PICK UP FOUR FIRST DOWNS AND THE TOUCHDOWN ON THE 80 YARD RUNNING DRIVE...AND PENDER WOULD COLLECT THE 2 PT CONVERSION.
