toss to Carter with 1:53 left. Instead of tying the contest, the Trojans opted for the two-point com·er– sion and were successful as workhorse running back Edward McCadney of Cleveland walked into the end zone untouched and gave his team a 31-30 advantage. McCadney led Delta rushers with 132 yards on 22 carries. Warrior special team!'l member Desmond Grayson of Meridian returned the ensuing kickoff 32 yards to near midfield, and following Franks' 22-yard scamper on first down, EC was in scoring position at the Delta 35-yard line. But after Franks lost two yards on first down, and following two incom– plete passes, the Warriors faced fourth and 12 at the 37 and needed a miracu– lous play to finally enter the win column. Farmer and Cockrell

provided the "miraculous play," and the Warrior defense kept the Trojans from gaining a yard in their final possession , which began at the Delta 42. Freshman linebacker Christian Wraggs of Louisville put an excla– mation point to the victo– ry when he sacked quar– terback Daniels on fourth and 10. The Warrior offense ran out the clock and the celebration was under way. East Central will be homecoming guest of divi– sion foe Pearl River Com– munity College Saturday. Oct. 19.
