Sports THE SOUTHWEST TIMES, PULASKI, VA., SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5,1986-PAGE Bl rnoto Dy Boo Mine* Bye, bye baby! Pulaski County's Dion Hendricks is off to the races and on his way to an 84-yard touchdown gallop, a Cougar record 84-yard ramble beats Franklin Co., 7-3 ^^^ BYDANCALLAHAN SWT Sports Editor . For those who thought Pulaski County High School would make mincemeat out of the rest of the Roanoke Valley District and waltz to the 1986 championship Friday's narrow 7-3 victory over Franklin County makes such thoughts seem rediculous. History says it's never been that way, and it looked anything but easy for the Cougars in • " County Stadium in front of a huge overflow crowd. - Both teams came into the game having exhibited potent of fenses, but as is usually the case in big games, defense dominated. The Cougars shutdown the Eagle offense and the Eagles shutdown the Cougar offense. Both teams moved the ball from time to time,- but neither moved consistently. But even with only 10 total points on the Scoreboard, it was still a • ' • ' • ' game of big plays, and -Pulaski County made the biggest. With 6:26 left in the third quarter Cougar fullback Dion Hendricks took a first down handoff up the middle and. danced 84 yards to the • Franklin end zone, virtually untouched. It was the longest run from scrimmage in Cougar football history as well as the longest scoring run. Quarterback Terry Finley held the previous record of 63 yards in Victory Stadium in Roanoke against • ' . ' . : • * • ! , ; , . . . • • William Fleming In 1«|^. Hendricks' run broke the record by 21 yards. "It just opened up," said" the junior. "I hugged my Mockers like the coaches had been telling me. I saw nothing but daylight after I passed the linebackers. I just ran as fast as I could." ' Hendricks finished with 142 yards in 18 carries marking the third straight game Pulaski County had a back rush for more than 140 yards. Dion's cousin Kevin ran for 59 ' • . ' . • . ' . • yards in 13 carries, but would have been close to a 100 again had it not been for three double digit runs being nullified due to penalties. A crucial holding penalty that nullified a 16-yard touchdown run by Kevin Hendricks in the second quarter looked for the longest time like it would come back to haunt the Cougars. In fact, the first half was a frustrating experience for PCHS. The Cougars managed but 69 yards • .• . ...

On the Cougars' first possession of the game he tried from 46 yards out only to see the ball hit the top of the right See COUGARS, page B8 Lets goto the tape hung on this time BYDANCALLAHAN BYDANCALLAHAN SWT Sports Editor SWT Sports Editor BLACKSBURG- It wasn't terribly convincing. In fact it was extremely fortunate. But the frustration has ended. After five straight losses, six of seven, and seven of the last 10 meetings with West Virginia, Virginia Tech came out on top in Lane Stadium Saturday, 13-7. And it was a great day for a couple of Pulaski County High School grads too. Chris Kinzer tied and then broke the consecutive field goal record for the Hokies with a 24-yarder in the final seconds of the first quarter, and 50-yarder in the final seconds of the second quarter. And corrierback Billy Myers intercepted two passes, the second at the Tech 28 with 1:55 •left to play to end any hopes of a victory this day for the now 2-3 Mountaineers. Tech is now 4-1, and possibly headed for bigger and better things, but Saturday was tough. Three times West Virginia penetrated the Hokie 10-yard line without scoring a single point, and the second half was a virtual nightmare for Tech. The Hokies has only three first downs the second half and the third came with 22 seconds left. Tech had only 13 yards and eight plays in the third quarter until quarterback Erik Chapman completed an 18-yard pass to Donald Snell in the final minute. West Virginia outgained Tech the second half 206-80 as the Hokies were hanging on for dear life defensively. But while the Mountaineers were dominant, they could not come up with the big play. Tailback John Holifield ran through and around the .Hokies defense 27 times for 162 yards, but he never found paydirt, and Mountaineer quarterbacks Mike Timko and Benny Reed could make little happen through the airways. The two combined for only 97 yards, hitting but 11 of 29 passes. There were two crucial officiating decisions in Friday night's football game in County Stadium. Pulaski County defeated Franklin County 7-3 in an important Roanoke Valley District encounter. The two plays could have had a major impact on the outcome, however, the final result likely would have not changed and not soothed Franklin County head coach's Dean East's feelings at all. East felt he got a poor decision when a pass was judged complete at about the Pulaski County 30 midway through the fourth quarter. The ball was knocked from his fullback's See TAPE, page B3 THE NUMBERS: Fraakli»Co. PolaiUCo.

WVU drove with the second half kickoff, but on third and a foot, Reed was stopped short on a sneak a foot from the nine-yard line. Holifield again led the Mountaineers on a drive midway in the fourth quarter, but on fourth and goal at the three Reed appeared to throw into doable coverage in the right corner of the end zone with two receivers apparently open under each goalpost upright in the back of the end zone. But the recent history. of this series is loaded with missed op- portunities for the Techmen, Saturday the table turned on WVU. The Mountaineers outrushed the Hokies 236-136, and out-offensed Tech overall 333-265, but the winner is the ones that lights up the Scoreboard, and West Virginia didn't finish the job. "They ran out of field," said Myers. "When you get that dose you don't have much room to work with. We just tried to keep the pressure on as much as possible. The defense could have used a blow the second half. We couldn't stop them, and the offense couldn't get a first down. I See TECH, page B8 a-M » %H& 1U 541.1 6-W PH|MUC«.097f-7 FrutdinC*. -.

Of his two interceptions Myers said; "The first one I don't think their quarterback saw me. I came off my man to help out down the middle, and he overthrew the ball anyway. The second one late we were playing deep so we wouldn't give up the long pass. I was playing the ball. Their receiver must have fell, because the ball was overthrown again." And now Kinzer is in the Tech record book, but his talented right leg was tested with a stiff swirling wind that blew in Lane Stadium throughout the game. He has now hit 13 straight field goals. "I really wasn't worried about the streak. I just want to put three points on the board for Tech...to help the team. But the 50-yarder was tough. The wind was in my face. I just hit it the best I could, (the ball hit the goalpost curl, just behind the crossbar meaning the kick probably would have been good from 51). But I'm proud to have the record. It's a thrill for me. I'll probably give the ball to my mom or dad. I'm glad I broke the record on a kick like that. It makes it more meaningful to me," said Kinzer. WVU coach Don Nehlen wasn't thrilled with the gentlemen in stripes this day, but took nothing away from Tech's effort, or that of liis team. "I can't say enough about our Staff photo by Bob Hines kids' effort.

Give Virginia Tech credit though because they played a heckuva game. They fought hard and the key was they didn't make any mistakes. Coach (Bill) Dooley and his staff, and team are to be commended," said Nehlen. The narrow victory ended five years of frustration for Dooley who may or may not finish out the season on the sidelines with his Hokie team depending on what action might be taken due to his $3.5 million lawsuit against VPI. "You've got to give credit to the men on our defensive team. They would bend and. bend against a relentless West Virginia attack, but they wouldn't break. West Virginia came back and played a great second half. Their . tailbacks ran extremely well, but the story of the game was the way our defense played when they were in a hole. The interception by Billy Myers at the end was a very big one. "We could get nothing going offensively the second half. We were backed up all the way and it would have been a gamble to throw the ball from where we were. "Chris Kinzer should get a lot of credit too. I never had any thoughts about him not going for the field goal with the wind in his face. Heck, I've got supreme confidence in the young man. He's really on a roll. I don't even remember him missing .one in .practice lately. ' "It's been a long time since we tasted victory against West Virginia. They have dominated us lately. But I thought we deserved the victory today," said Dooley. Tech is now 4-1 on the season and hosts South Carolina next Saturday.

McClellan says he has no doubt in his mind that Fired Townes caught and had possession of the ball. "Oh yeah, he caught the ball," said McClellan. "I saw it in his hands. There's no question in my mind .that he had possession." There's a big question in East's mind. So, lets go to the video tape of the game. It's hot the best situation. The film is from the backside of the play since the camera is stationed atop the pressbox on the home side and the play was on the far side of the field. Judging strictly from the tape, it doesn't look as if Townes caught the ball, but the tape shows clearly that one of the officials is looking directly at Townes on the ball side of the play. He's no more than three feetaway. . It would appear that East may, have a gripe coming, but the tape is not totally conclusive: The next crucial call. It came on a punt. Eagle Mark Poindexter watches an Anthony Akers' punt bounce inside his 10. He makes no move toward the ball, or any attempt to make a fair catch on the play. Suddenly while surrounded by Cougars Poindexter moves to the ball, goes to a knee, and attempts to catch the bouncing pigskin. If Poindexter cleanly catches the ball and it is in his absolute possession the ball is down at the nine where his knee is resting on the ground, and the play is blown dead on the spot. And official Tom Berry blew his whistle, but the ball slipped free and Pulaski County recovered at the Eagle six.

"I guess that's the way it goes," said PCHS mentor Joel Hicks, "I can't say for sure Franklin got a bad call on the pass catch and fumble, it doesn't look like he had possession, but the film shows the back of the play. The official is there. But .for sure, we should have had first and goal. Maybe the calls, changed the outcome of the game, maybe they didn't, but overall, I'd have to say if each call was changed the way each coach feels they should, we would have been better off." There is little doubt of that. If East gets the call he wants, it's third and nine at the Cougar 36. If Hicks gets the call he wants, it first and goal . state playoffs. ., Pulaski Co. at the Eagle six.
