This is a good early food source

Walnut is also spotty this

Scrub oak is good mostly in

good for the bears, turkeys and
grouse and is a high quality food
source.
It looks like there is going to
be plenty of food for game this
year but some good preseason
scouting is going to be necessary
to locate the pockets of mast.
It will be important to scout
right up to the day before your
favorite season opens because as
the food is used up the game will
move.
Saturday, October 13 is open-
ing day for the bow season.
Hunters all across the state have
been getting ready and the big
day is almost here. You can also
hunt for grouse and raccooI~
starting the 13th.
Because of the lack of cad
weather and frost, the leaves are
still heavy on the trees and
underbrush, which could lead to
hunting accidents. Please be ex-
tra careful while hunting this
year. There will be more hunters
in the woods so we all need to be
extra courteous to each other. If
you are hunting and see other
hunters in the area, look for a
less crowded spot.

Greenbrier West successfully
defended its top spot in the
Class AA rankings by downing
Webster County 14-8.
West faced a tough Webster
team on the road. The Cavaliers
problems were further compli-
cated by the loss of starting tail-
back and cornerback, Billy
Keach. However. the defensive
unit again came through from
the Cavaliers, holding Webster to
only one touchdown.
The game remained scoreless
until midway through the sec-
ond quarter, when Chris
Vaughan hit paydirt on a 4-yard
keeper play around the left end.
He then scampered around the
right end on an identical play for
the 2-point conversion giving
West an 8-0 lead.
Webster capitalized on a
Cavalier fumble inside the ten.
Tom Stonaker then scored from
nine yards out on the
Highlander's first snap of the
ball. Carpenter ran in for the
two-point conversion tying the
game at the half 8-8.
The final score of the game
was one-yard run by Vaughan
on a sneak play up the middle.
The score was set up by the first
of Jerry Robertson's two inter-
ceptlons.
The Cavaliers defense held
tough throughout the rest of the
game denying Webster of any big
play opportunities.
Sophomore Jason Gwinn
came through for the Cavaliers
offense, making his first start in
place of the injured Billy Keech,
gaining tough yards in key situ-
ations.
The Cavaliers (6-0) will host
the Oceana Indians next Friday
in a game that will have major
implications on the Class AA
play-offs.
Renick Junior Homecoming:
Six Girls Will Reign Over It All
By Jim Shepherd
The Greenbrier East Spartans
scored early and often Friday
night as they defeated the Red
Devils of Oak Hill 35-12. The
Spartans scored 21 points in the
first period and then sat back
and watched Oak Hill play them
even the rest of the game despite
being devastated by seven turn-
overs. East added another
touchdown In the second quar-
ter for a commanding 28-6 lead
at the half and that allowed the
Spartan reserves to get a lot of
playing time.
It all began when the East de-
fense forced Oak Hill's Mark
Blumfield to punt from his own
25 after the opening drive fizzled
out. Sam Johnson received the
kick at the 39 yard line and went
board as Blurnfield carried in
from the five. Logan's pass for
the conversion was incomplete
and Oak Hill settled for a 28-6
half time score.
Once again, the Red Devils
could not hang on to the ball in
the second half and their first
drive was stopped when Scott
Weikle recovered a Blumfield
fumble at the East 34. Neither
team could muster a score in the
third quarter as the Spartans
were plagued by penalties, six
for 80 yards in the game, and
the Red Devils gave up the ball
twice more, once on a Banton
pass interception and once when
Steve Deflbaugh recovered a
fumble.
The Spartans had to score
twice before it counted for their
61 yards untouched for the final touchdown. After Deflbaugh

return for a TD thls season.
Richard Banton's pass for the
conversion was no good but East
led 6-0.
Two plays later, Brett Criddle
recovered the first of five lost
recovered the fumble, Wilson
and Baldwin ate up the clock as
they marched down the field.
Coles did complete one ten yard
pass to Wilson and Ramon Can-
ada picked up 14 yards on a re-
verse but Coles avoided disaster
fumbles the Red Devils sufferedwhen
at the five yard line. On the next
play Quarterback Sidney Coles
hit Casey Crane in the end zone
for the score. Coles' pass to
Steve Wilson was good for the
two point conversion and the
Spartans led 14-0. having run
just one play from scrimmage.
The next tlme Greenbrier East
got the ball they went 55 yards
out. The big play in the drive
was a 42-yard pass from Coies

Oak Hill closed out the scoring
with just 12 seconds left in the
game when Logan passed 16

gral part of our operations," UHS

Forest Fire Season Starts:
Be. Careful In The Woods
"We are now in the most
splendid season of the year.
With aUtumn, our hardwood for-
ests display a beautiful spec-
trum of glorious colors. It looks
like someone took a paintbrush
and painted the forests. During
the next three or four weeks, the
colors dazzle the eyes of the be-
homer, providing an almost irre-
sistible lure to those who enjoy
the outdoors," George Clarkson,
of the State Forestry Division
said.
"But soon, those brilliantly
painted forests will shed their
colors. The leaves falling on the
¢

¢

forest floor will create a natural
fire hazard. Mix that with some
act of human carelessness, the
potential for forest destruction
exists. With hunting season ap-
proaching, that potential Is mag-
nified by hunters in the woods,"
Mr Clarkson said.
Mr Clarkson, a forest ranger,
advises residents of the Forest
Fire Laws, and the new restric-
tions passed by the 1989 Legis-
lature. "During the fall fire sea-
son, which began October I and
ends December 3 I, the law pro-
hibits outdoor burning between
7 a.in. and 4 p.m. Exceptions to
the law are small cooking or
warming fires that have a ten-
foot safety strip cleared of all
flammable material; or when
there is an inch or more of snow
on the ground.
Leaves, grass, weeds, brush,
stubble, slash, stumps, and
other vegetative debris can be
burned If it is done in compli-
ance with the forest fire laws.
*Current solid waste and air
pollution regulations prohibit
the burning of household trash,
garbage, paper, refuse, and
other solid waste. Burning per-
mits during the prohibited hours
will not be issued to individual
homeowners, because they can
either divide the debris to be
burned during the permissible
hours or wait until after fire sea-
son to burn the debris," Mr
Clarkson said.
He urges caution to everyone
who visits the forest this autumn
season "to use common sense
whether hunting or simply look-
Ing and enjoying the beauty of
this season,s colors, and to take
extra care to preserve it for fu-
ture generations."
Questions concerning the for-
est fire laws or inquiries about
the fall leaf coloration may be di-
rected to Agricultural Service
Center at 717 North Jefferson
Street. Lewisburg or by calling
647-7425.
