Newton Eagles Take Measure
Of Tigers 21-0 Last Friday
Mark Ervin scored two
touchdowns to help lead the
Newton Eagles to a 21-0 victory
over the Silsbee Tigers last
Friday at Kirby Stadium. The
loss gives the Tigers a 1-3
record as they go into 11
A AAA district play.
Newton won the toss and got
the ball out to midfield before
Joe Parks recovered a fumble
at that point. The Tigers were
able to move all the way to the
Newton 30 before giving the
ball over on downs.
On the next series of plays,
the Tigers got the ball back in
good field position, when Floyd
Spearman blocked a punt, but
one play later, the Eagles
recovered a fumble.
The first quarter ended in a
scoreless tie, but with Newton
driving Getting the hall on the
Eagle 13, the Eagles took 12
plays before Ervin scored the
first touchdown, on a one yard
plunge with 10:05 remaining in
the half. The extra point try
was good, and Newton held a
7-0 lead.
Following the kickoff, the
Tigers couldn't move, and the
Eagles got the ball at the 49. It
took just two plays for Newton
to score this time, and Robert
Wood raced down the sidelines
from 37 yards out for the
touchdown, which came with
7:58 remaining in the half. The
extra point gave the Eagles a
14-0 lead.
Silsbee had a chance to score
late in the half. After recover-
ing a blocked punt at the
Newton 38, the Tigers replaced
starting quarterback Jerry Me
Cain with Reggie Lloyd, who
proceeded to get the Tigers
down to the one yard-line, but
the Tigers, who had used one of
their allotted time outs earlier
in the half, saw time run out in
the half, before they could get
the ball in the endzone.
In the third quarter, the
Tigers got the kickoff and
appeared to be on the move
again. Lloyd connected with
Fred Barrett on a paas that put
the Tigers on the Newton 32,
but the drive stalled out at the
29, and Newton took over on
downs.
Scott LeBlanc recovered a
Newton fumble, on the Tiger
31, but couldn't move, and Shan
Gilder picked off an intercep
tion.
The Tigers got the ball back
on yet another interception
when Jerry McCain snared a
Newton pass. There was no
scoring in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the
Tigers took possession at mid
field, but lost it on the third
play on a fumble.
Newton held the ball after
that, and 11 plays later Ervin
scored on a six yard run with
1:10 remaining in the game.
The extra point kick was good,
which gave the Eagles a 21-0
lead. Newton's record im
proved to 3 1 for the season.
Silsbee tried one final time to
move the ball, but could only
get it out to the 34 yard line
before Newton intercepted a
pass to end the game.
The Tigers defense, which
had been holding opponents to
an average 130 yards a game,
yielded 253 yards rushing on 51
carries. Still, top defensive
plays were made by Joe Parks,
Floyd Speaman, Bobby Gore,
Scott Le Blanc, Pat Henry,
John Leggington, and Jerry
McCain.
The Tigers will travel to Port
Arthur to face the Lincoln
Bumblebees at 7:30 p.m. Fri-
day.

QUARTERBACK THROWS FOR 363 YARDS
Boykin Passes Raiders Over
Woodville Eagles In 307 Win
By Mike Minton
Coach Larry Spacek's Lum-
berton Raiders rode the pass
mg arm of Quarterback Kevin
Boykin’s three touchdown per
formance to capture their first
win of the 1986 season by a 30 7
margin over the Woodville
Eagles last Friday at Lumber
ton.
The senior signal caller, who
was already leading the league
in passing, completed 13 of 29
aerials for 363 yards and he also
carried over a score himself.
Boykin zeroed in on his
league leading receivers, Will
Lytle and Robert Corley. Lytle
gathered in 10 passes for 164
yards and Corley snagged 5
tosses for 147 yards and one
touchdown.
Also impressive in the vie
tory was the emergence of a
fired up Raider defense that
had been non-existent during
the first two outings this year.
The tenacious defense was led
by linebacker Will Lytle, de
fensive back Jeff Ogden, tack
les Darren Mason. Scooter
Sonnier and Floyd Boyett.
It was the Eagles however
who hit paydirt first. Following
a Raider Fumble on their first
possession, the Eagles drove to
the Raider one-yard-line. Two
plays later Derrick Copes push
ed in for the score. Chip
Scroggins point after was good
giving the Eagles their only
score of the contest and an
early 7-0 lead.
A 68 yard pass from Boykin
to Lytle set up Lumberton's
score on their next possession.
The pass gave the Raiders a
first and goal at the Eagle
two yard line.
On the second snap from
scrimmage, Boykin called his
own number and put the Raid
ers on the board with 5:10
showing on the first quarter
clock. Boykin then connected
with Lytle on the 2-point con-
version, giving the Raiders a
8-7 lead.
Scooter Sonnier set up the
next Raider scoring drive. The
alert Sonnier pounced on the
enduing,kickoff and recovered
at the Eagle 43 yard line.
Once again, it was Boykin to
Lytle for three pass plays, the
last, a six yard toss for the
score. Boykin found Ray Gallier
for the two point conversion,
extending the lead to 16 7 with
2:31 left in the initial stanza.
The second quarter belonged
to the Raiders also, but long
pass plays and a touchdown
were nullified by penalties.
However, following a good
drive, Andy Spillman went the
distance with a four-yard run.
Again, Boykin hit Lytle for
the two-point conversion giving
the Raiders a little breathing
room at 24-7.
Another Raider drive was
stalled by an interception on
the Woodville five-yard fine to
end the first half.
The third period turned into
a defensive battle with neither
team able to mount a sustained
drive.
Darren Mason recovered a
Woodville fumble at midfield
but the Raiders stalled.
The Lumberton defense
arose early in the final period
and began to crush the Eagle
attack.
Lumberton took over on
downs following a fourth-and
three situation at the Eagle
40-yard line, but coughed up
the pigskin the next play.
Following a 25-yard pass, the
Eagles were stopped in their
tracks again by a swarming
Raider defense. This set up the
final Raider score.
With 4:02 remaining, Boykin
hit a streaking Robert Coney
for a 21 yard score. The point-
after sailed wide right, but the
Raiders had sealed the 30-7
victory.
The Raiders will draw a bye
this week, before opening dis-
trict play the following week
against Little Cypress-
Mauriceville at LC-M.
Head Coach Larry Spacek is
also expecting to get his start-
ing running back Scott Town-
send back into action. Town-
send has been out with a collar
bone injury suffered in an
earlier scrimmage.
Gametime for the Oct. 10
district opener at LCM is
scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Band Boosters

The Silsbee High School
Band Boosters will hold their
monthly meeting at 7 p.m.
Tuesday at the high school
band hall. There will be two

jects.
