THE PONCHATOULA TIMES, SEPTEMBER 12, 1985, SEC. A., PAGE

St. Paul's Wolves of Covington
barked up the wrong tree Thursday,
September 5 when the visitors were
devoured by the JV Greenies 12-0 in
Cypress Stadium. As expected, Poncha-
toula dominated the game in every
aspect.
Shawn Hutson picked up the initial
kickoff for a short gain while the
Greenies held onto the ball for the
following 12 plays. A Carl Disher pitch-
out left to Merlin Allen clinched Poncha-
toula's first touchdown.
Ponchatoula's challenging defense
held the Wolves down to only five plays
in the first quarter.
In the second period, Carl Disher
pulled the team closer to paydirt and
added 30 yards passing on one attempt,
Disher, although under heavy attack,
released a startling spiral to Todd
Hebert for a 35 yard gain. Quick pitches
to Allen, Hebert and Jason Adams put
the JV in scoring range.
The Greenies then saw their chance
to get on the board again when quarter-
back Carl Disher bolted a short look-in
pass to Bradley Watts for a six yard
touchdown play Ponchatoula led 12-0.
It was then that Ponchatoula's offense
took to the air while the defense dug
down to business.
The Wolves took the punt after half-
time but were unable to pick up a first
down. The Wolves were forced to punt
right back on fourth down and 17 yards
to o,
From the coffin corner came JV
Greenie Shane Dufrene who leaped up
and swatted down the St. Paul punt
which Ponchatoula recovered.
Todd Hebert gained five yards on a
pitch out and missed a 20 yard pass
attempt, Merlin Allen picked up two
yards on a handoff while Lance Vitter
came from hibernation off the bench
long enough to recover a fumble at the
snap.
The final period saw options carried
out by Jarold Partier and Shawn
Hutson. QB Carl Disher increased his
number of aerial attempts but bobbled
two at the snap, Shane Dufrene and
Joel Settoon were both credited with
sacks and the Greenies were penalized
twice for 15 yards on a clipping charge
and illegal motion•
Credited as the team's strongest effort
made offensively, St. Paul threatened
to score with four minutes remaining in
the game.
Ponchatoula's Shawn Hutson drew
back to punt but the snap cleared over
his head. Shawn was attacked and
didn't gain the yardage that would have
awarded Ponchatoula the ball.
Spotted at the three yard line, St.
Paul still couldn't swing it in. Joel
Settoon dropped one quarterback for
his first game sack for a yardage loss,
Shane Dufrene hammered a receiver
into the dirt for another loss while two
incomplete pass attempts ended their
scoring frenzy.
Ponchatoula punted right back. St.
Paul scooped up on the return for a 67
yard gain. But the run was Called back
on a penalty. Ponchatoula won the
game 12-0.
The JV Greenies completed 142
yards of total offense. Two touchdowns
were gained on 49 yards passing, 93
yards rushing and 70 yards punting.
Merlin Allen led in rushing with 45
yard on 12 carries for a 3.7 yards per
!
carry average• Todd H.eben tallowed
with 30 yards gained on nine carries.
Jason Adams rushed for I0 yards on
three carries. Shawn Hutson picked up
six yards on four carries while Jarold
Portier attributed two yards on--e
carry. '
