Coolin Wol stun Warriors Brown reels off 85-yarder By Marty Stamper Special to The Star Wolves at the ECCC 41 on the next play.

It took only four plays for Co– Lin to score. Dexter Roulhac teamed with Alvin Fortenberry on a 16-yard touchdown pass in the left corner of the end zone with 9:39 left in the first half. Danny Lee added an 18-yard run on the drive. The Wolves resorted to trickery on the conversion as they lined up nine men left and went for two. A holding penalty negated the score. They ran again, this time from kick forma– tion, but came up empty leaving ECCC ahead 7-6. Co-Lin went up 12-7 when Roulhac outfaked Burroughs on a 14-yard scoring run with 6:12 left in the third period. Ira McDowell batted away a two– point pass.

DECATUR- East Central got one big play, but could never get the second in a 12~7 South Divi– sion loss to Copiah-Lincoln at Warrior Field Saturday in junior college football action. Darnell Brown put the War– riors. now 0-1 in the South and 1-2 overan, up 6-0 when he turned an inside crossbuck into an 85-yard touchdown .run with 13:53 left in the first haJC. Ronnie Williamson added the extra.point. "He made a super run out of it,'' ECCC coach A.J. Kilpatrick said. Co-Lin (2-0 South. 3-0 overall) drove from its 37 to-the ECCC 18 on its next posse~sion only to see Felton Burroughs make an over– the-shoulder interception in the end zone for a touchback.

We were legal. ·• Both coaches saw some bright spots in the contest. ·'Defensively we were able to keep them under control and I was so afraid we couldn't," Kilpa trick said. "Offensively, we just didn't block well enough." "It was the best defensive game we've had," Ishee said . "East Central's a good team. They played us hard. They always play ha rd against us." It was the first time in the 1980s either had won in the other's backya rd. Co-Li n outga ined ECCC 265-246. Brown led the Warriors with 95 yards on five carr ies. Roulhac led the Wolves with 81 y:lf

and two quarterba~k sacks turn– ed the ball over on downs. The big play of the drive was a 31-yard option play by quarter– back Lamont Byrd. With just over seven minutes remaining, ECCC faced second– and-6 from its 41 where a Byrd pass intended for Tony Kidd was picked off by Greg Briggs. Kidd appeared to have been interfered with on the play, at least to Kilpatrick and the Warrior fans . "I thought so." Kilpatrick said when asked if he thought there should have been a penalty. "It wasn't a deciding play. but it was a bad call or lack ofa .call." CLGC coach.Ray Ishee wasn't thrilled about some of the night's calls either. i''fhe offiCials didn't undcrs– t.ml
