Newspaper Page TextDecember 8, 1983 The Wolverine Observer Page 7 Wolverine Sports Wolverines Tie Homecoming Bout 21 -21 Morris Brown and Bethune Cookman .College .battled to a 21-21 final score before 13,200 homecoming fans at Herndon stadium. Victor Scott, 5'9 junior from Pittsburgh, PA. electrified the large crowd with a 95 yard kick off return to start the game. It gave Morris Brown the momen tum and the lead, 7-0. Scott will go down in the history books for a school record returning a kick-off for 95 yards, and a 98 yarder against Morehouse College. Morris Brown played agressive football on defense, and flawless football on offense. David Kitchen, 6'0, 195 pound junior from Tifton, Ga. had 24 total tackles, 12 solos, 12 unassisted, and one quarterback sack. Kevin Gibbs, junior noseguard from Montclair, N.J., had 17 tackles, Clemmie Blackmon, Jr., .a 6’5 and 216 pound defensive end from Monticello, Fla. — along with Chris Maner, Jr., a 6'1 and 220 pound player from Brunswick, GA. both had 16 tackles. The strong play of the denfense held the Wildcats ol Bethune Cookman to 82 total yards in the first half. Leonard Camel was on target completing 15 of 30 passes for 197 yards passing. Camel com pleted a 8 yard touchdown pass to Felix Williams for one touchdown, and Leon Winfrey punched one over from the one- yard line to give Morris Brown the lead at 21-14 late in the third quarter. The offense compiled 339 yards in total offense for the afternoon. The homecoming game was exciting until the fourth quarter. With eight minutes left in the ballgame, William Scott attempted a punt on his own 30 yard line when a Bethune Cookman player rushed into Scott for an apparent roughing the kicker penalty. However, the penalty was not called by the official. The official threw a flag for the obvious call, then miraculously picked it up and put it back in his pocket. The non-call outraged the 13,000 fans, players, and the Morris Brown coaching staff. Head Coach Greg Thomp son was so outraged by the official's action he received a 15 yard penalty for un sportsmanlike conduct and a 15 yard penalty for delaying the game. The penalties proved to be the turning point of the game because it gave Bethune Cookman good field position late in the fourth quarter. Wild cat Gregory Ross, a 6'2185 pound freshman from Miami, Fla. hit Leon Gonzales cutting across the middle for a 6 yard touchdown pass to tie the score at 21-21 with 2:06 remaining in the game. Leonard Camel rallied his troops for one last chance to victory by throwing a 48 yard pass to Neal Cambridge. The catch put the ball on the three yard line with one minute left in the game. After three cracks at the goal line, Morris Brown came up empty, but saved the game for Dexter Simon to kick a 15 yard field goal. The kick was just wide of the goal post to end the game with a heartbreaking tie score. MBC Football Statistics SCORES TO DATE w - MBC, 13 Fayetteville St.- 10 1200 PASSING ATT- -COM-1 NT PCT.
