Rams Take Down Hoke! 30-20
November 4, 2009 Purnell Swett High School
PEMBROKE - Purnell Swett was trying to move on from last week's upsetting finish at Pinecrest and break a two-game losing streak Friday against Hoke County.
It took every minute to get back on track in a 30-20 win over the Bucks.
Swett (8-2, 2-2) looked to put Hoke away early in the fourth, when Jock Clark had a 4-yard touchdown run, and followed it with a two point conversion run to make the score 30-14.
But Hoke took advantage of a Ram turnover, a fumble by Jordan Jones on a six-yard run, and Vernon Brandon completed a touchdown pass to Eric Wolff.. The two point conversion pass failed, leaving the score at 30-20.
Hoke County picked off Ethan Clark with just over four minutes to play, but Brandon threw an interception of his own at the Rams-2 two to Telvin Clark to ice the game
"We won, and it was ugly," Swett head coach Mark Heil said. "We were kind of getting stale on offense, but I thought our defense played fantastic."
