Lions score
18-13 victory
over JV Wave
It hasn't been an exceptionally good
year for the Ponchatoula Green Wave
JVs, but assistant coach Fred Booth
feels that a win over the Hammond Tors
next Tuesday at Cypress Stadium will
J
give his charges a feeling of having
captured a "state championship".
Coming off an 18-13 loss to
undefeated Covington last week. the
JVs will be gearing up for the baby Tors
in a game originally scheduled for today
in the Strawberry capital.
"There has always been a strong
rivalry between Ponchatoula and
Hammond, and Tuesday's game will be
no exception," stated Booth following
last week's contest. "It will be a big win
for our fellows if they can beat the Tors,
and will give them a strong sense of
pride on which to end the season."
Covington, which has captured the
District 13-AAAA JV title with wins
over all of its opponents to date, scored
single touchdowns in each of the first
three quarters to earn the victory. All
conversion attempts failed. '
The Wave, trailing 12-0 in the second
quarter, narrowed the score to a 12-7
when quarterback Carl Disher hit
flanker Bradley Watts with a 15-yard
strike with less than two minutes
remaining in the half. Raymond Starkey
was successful with the extra-point
attempt.
Trailing 18-7 with just over seven
minutes to play in the game, Watts was
once again on the receiving end of a
Disher aerial for a 25-yard score.
Disher's pass to Johnny Settoon went
incomplete when the Wave attempted a
two-polnt conversion.
The loss dropped Ponchatoula to 2-2
in district competition and 4-4 overall.
With more than 350 gymnasts
competing in the two-day Strawberry
Open Meet at the Ponchatoula
Community Center last weekend, the
competition was almost non-stop.

Covington had an opportunity to
score late in the game when Stilwell
directed the Lions down to the Wave 15
yard line. With a four-and-long yardage
situation facing him, Stilwetl rolled left
on an option play but was sacked by
defensive end Joe Frazier on a game-
ending tackle.
"The big run of PoweWs changed the
momentum of the game in their favor,"
stated Covington coach Jack Salter.
"We certainly had our chances to score,
especially in the first half, but we weren't
able to put the points on the board. We
had the edge in time of possession, but
that doesn't count in the standings."
Powell led all rushers with 119 on 12
carries, while Reggie McKay led the
Lions' with 100 on 19 rushes.
The Lions picked up 10 first downs to
Ponchatoula's nine, and edged the
Wave 186-184 in rushing yardage. The
Wave had a big edge in passing
yardage, gaining 109 yards as Faulkner
connected on seven of 11 attempts and
had one intercepted. Stilwell was good
on five of 12 attempts for 63 yards and
had none intercepted.
Powell punted twice for a 38-yard
average, while Nordgen punted twice
for a 32-yard average. Both teams
fumbled once. with the opposition
recovering both times. The Wave was
penalized a total of 30 yards, while the
Lions were only tagged with a 10-yard
walk-off.
Ponchatoula travels to Hammond
tomorrow night to meet the Tors in an
all-important contest, while Covington
hosts Slidelt m a game which carries
only playoff importance for the Tigers.
