Hamrick noted that Reverend
Groscup is a very positive role
model and fine representative of
this Slate.

Greenbrier East, 29; Bluefield,
By Jim Shepherd
If Mike Patterson is unwel-
come in Bluefield this week, it is
understandable. The senior full-
back scored all four Spartan
touchdowns Friday as Green-
brier East posted a solid 29-9
victory over the visiting Bluefield
Beavers. Patterson scored on
runs of three and one yards and
pass receptions of 50 and five
yards from Quarterback Sidney
Coles as he led the Spartans to
their third victory of the season.
The winless Beavers were unable
to contain Patterson who rushed
for 70 total yards and hauled in
four passes for 89.
Once again the Spartan de-
fense sparkled, coming up with
two pass interceptions and two
fumble recoveries. Thes~ four
turnovers kept the Beavers at
bay until the game was out of
reach. And the improving East
team was charged with only one
penalty compared with 16 a
week earlier at Covington,
The Spartans showed early
that they were serious about this
game taking the opening kick-off
68 yards for the first score. Pat-
terson and Steve Wilson churned
up most of the yardage but a 17
yard pass from Coles to Sam
Johnson at the Beaver 40 kept
the defense loose. After a pass
interference penalty gave the
Spartans a first down at the
three-yard line, Patterson car-
ried for his first touchdown.
Johnson's kick for the point af-
ter was good and East led 7-0.
The East defense soon was'
"'i'ested when the Beavers got the
ball. With Greg Ridley doing
most of the ball carrying, includ-
ing a 24 yard dash to the Green-
brier sLx-yard line, the Beavers
were ready to tie it up. But
Chuck Baldwin dropped Ridley
incomplete pass, Steve De-
fibaugh caught Buddy Gilpen for
a four-yard loss at the 1 1.
Johnny Grant's fourth down
pass off a fake field goal was in-
complete and the Spartans led
7-0 at the quarler.
From the eleven, East started
an impressive drive, mixing
passes and the running of
Wilson and Patterson, all the
way to the Beavers 15-yard line,
The Blue field defense stiffened,
however, and after losses on
third and fourth down carries,
East turned the ball over at the
29. Five plays later Grant
fumbled at midfieM and Jimmy
Bennett recovered for East at the
50.
On the very next play, Patter-
son caught a swing pass from
Coles and went the distance for
his second touchdown. It is be-
coming an East trademark to go
for the big play after a turnover.
Richard Banton's pass to Chuck
Baldwin was good for the two
point conversion and a 15-0
lead.
The Spartans got another
break in the second quarter as
Banton intercepted a Grant pass
at the East 44-yard line. Coles
then went to the air and com-
pleted 20-yard passes to Carl
Godby and Steve Wilson, the last
for a first down at the one. From
there, Patterson tallied his third
touchdown of the half. It is an-
other characteristic of the Spar-
tans that they like to score late
in the first half and go to the
dressing room on the up beat.
There were 27 seconds left when
Patterson went the last yard.
Sam Johnson's kick for the con-
version was good for a 22-0
halftime advantage.
In the second half neither
the East 13. Quarterback
Johnny Grant carried in on
fourth down for Bluefield's only
touchdown of the game. Bryan
Broyles extra point kick was
good and the Spartan lead
shrunk to 22-9.
At this point the kicking game
surfaced as the dominant aspect
of the game. On tile ensuing
kick-off Rick Cline returned 50
yards to the Beaver 25-yard line.
Patterson picked up 12 yards
but the Spartans fumbled and
the Visitors recovered at the
twelve. But they were forced to
punt and Broyles got off a 60-
yarder. The Spartans couldn't
move the ball either and Ambler
booted a 51-yard punt to the 25.
Bob Lindsey gave the Sparians
the next break when he inter-
cepted a Grant pass at the East
44.
Greenbrier East could not
take advantage of the turnover
and Ambler's fourth down punt
was blocked. A penalty on the
play gave the Spartans a first
down at the 20. But they gave
tip the ball on downs after losing
four yards.
On the Beaver's next play
East recovered a fumble, their
fourth take-away of the game,
and had a first down at the 26.
Coles passed to Patterson for 14,
Wilson picked up seven and
Coles passed five yards to Patter-
son lbr the score. Johnson's kick
was good and the Spartans had
secured their third victor}, in a
row, 29-9.
Coles was seven of 13 for 146
yards passing for the East team
and Grant had three for seven
and 40 yards for Bluefield. Pat-
terson and Wilson each gained
70 yards rushing for the victors
but the honors went to Blue-
their own talents and abilities,
Billy Perry
for a one-yard loss and after an team moved the ball early and field's Greg Rtdley with 99 yards
