Tigers Embarrassed In Home Opener
By Avery Byrd and
Douglas Monds
Saturday afternoon,
September 18, the Maroon
Tigers of Morehouse took the
field against Fort Valley St. and
were embarassed before a very
disappointed home crowd of
1,500.
In what could only be describ
ed as a hard hitting and very
physical game, the Tigers were
humiliated 24 - 0, despite their
best efforts.
Due to a lack of execution and
missed assignments, the Tigers
found themselves down by 18
points at half time.
Early in the first half, senior
quarterback Barry Wade had
time to set up and throw strikes,
but with the exception of a
couple of sensational grabs by
speedy wideout Ron Sparks,
Wade’s passes were continuous
ly mishandled.
Early in the first quarter the
defense seemed very intense,
making one hard hit after
another. But as the game
progressed Fort Valley's QB
came to life, adding one
touchdown on the ground and
ending the half with a 44 yard
touchdown pass.
The last score of the first half
came on a spectacular pass play
with eight seconds remaining
when Fort Valley’s QB Kenneth
Bolton connected on a 44 yard
touchdown pass play to his wide
receiver.
The second half was a carbon
copy of the first: passes were
misthrown and dropped, balls
were fumbled and everyone
except the quarterback, Barry
Wade, forgot to pick up the blitz.
The fourth quarter began with
Morehouse in possession of the
ball, but Fort Valley in possession
of a 24 - 0 lead.
Morehouse recovered a fum
ble after an interception by Fort
Valley and controlled the ball on
their 45 yard line. Morris Allen
ran for a first down at the Fort
Valley thirty seven. On fourth
and two yds. Morehouse was
stopped again and once more
Fort Valley was in control. With
another series of first downs Fort
Valley reached the ball down to
the Morehouse ten, but failed to
make a twenty two yard field
goal.
In speaking with the coaches
neither felt that his team had
played up to par. Coach Porter of
Fort Vaelley said that the 24-0
score didn’t reflect how close the
game actually was.
One must also agree with
coach FHunt that “poor execu
tion and missed assignments are
the main obstacles the team must
overcome in order to be a
contender this season.”
The Tigers are now (1 -1) in the
early season. Fort Valley is also (1
- 1). The Tigers play Savannah
State this Saturday in Savannah.
