HIGH SCHOOL FALL CLASSIC

THE SEVENTH § :nnual
Buchanan Bowl was played
under a cloudless blue sky
last Saturday afternoon at
Kinsmen Stadium in North
Vancouver.

GAME OF THE
WEEK
by A.P. McCredie

In a game marked by defensive
stands, the Carson Graham Eagies
shut out rival Handsworth Royals
9-0, to take a one-game lead in
Buchanan Bow! outcomes, 4-3.

The annual fall classic is a trib-
ute match to former Carson
Graham ° vice-principal Jim
Buchanan, who passed away in
1986. All money collected at the
gate went to the Buchanan Bowl
Scholarship Fund. A scholarship
will be awarded to one player
from each school in the spring of
1994,

Going into the game the Eagles
were ranked the No. | single A
team in the province, though they
weren’t fielding their best with
running back Shayne Gait on the
injured list. Gait’s replacement,
Dan Pierce, played a great game,
eventually being named the
Eagles’ most valuable player.
Strachan Hartley earned the nod
for the Royals.

Neither team couid get their
offences going consistenly, though
big plays were produced by both
teams.

On the opening kickoff, the
Eagles’ Armen Pogosian ran a
Matt Anderson kick back to the
Royals’ 2i-yard line, and was
eventually pulled down by
Anderson. ,

The high-powered Eagles of-.
fence couldn’t get the ball in
scoring range, and turned the ball
over on possessions on a failed
fourth-down attempt.

Matt Sanderson took the first

- snap of the game for the Royals
on their own 32-yard line, but like

"the Eagles’ offence, the Royals
couldn’t get a first down.

The Eagles managed a couple of
first downs on their next series
before having to punt to Hands-
worth. A beautiful kick by Eagles
punter Corey Cameron put the
Royals on their own one-yard
line. ,

But Handsworth running-back

, Ban Elliot gave the Royals some
breathing: room with an f1-yard
tumble through the Carson

-.Graham defensive line. Another
first. down followed, but the
Royals could only move the ball
to their own 35 before kicking it
away. ,

Taking over at their 42-yard
line, the Eagles, led by quarter-
back Josh McKay and some
strong running by Gait’s stand-in,

_ Pierce, marched down the field to
Handsworth’s 21-yard line.

' A fourth-and-inches pitch io
Pierce kept the drive alive.

Hitting tight-end Mike Kulik
over the middle, McKay had his
team on the one yard line. A
strong offensive tine push helped

zone for the first score of the
afternoon. Handsworth player
John Lindsay blocked the point
after, giving the Eagles a 6-0 lead
halfway through the second
quarter.

The ensuing kickoff put the
Royals on their own 18, but a big
defensive stand by the Eagles’
front line quickly had Sanderson
standing on his own six-yard line
to kick to the Eagles.

Carson Graham linebacker
Mare Andrew burst through the
line and sacked Sanderson, to put
the Eagtes in scoring position once
again. . .

On. third and goal, Eagles
quarterback Arimo Evans, in for
McKay, was picked off by Royals
linebacker Andrew Newton, saving
Handsworth from going down two
touchdowns in the first half.

The Handsworth offence kept
having their troubles, and with a
minute left in the half the Eagles
were threatening once again. On
fourth and a yard to go on the
Handsworth 23-yard line, the
Royals’ defence once again came
up big. Elliot came up from his
linebacking position and wrapped
up Pierce to turn the ball over to
Handsworth. Seconds later
halftime was called.

Eltiot found himself behind the
coverage at one point, but failed
to hang on to a Sanderson pass.

Tailback Hartley put together
some nice runs for the Royals as
they mounted their most im-
pressive drive of the game.

But on a first and 10 play,
Lindsay had the bali stripped from
his hands as he stretched for more
yardage. Eagles defensive end Don
Campbell dropped on the loose
ball to. give Carson Graham
possession.

The Eagles couldn’t get going,
and Handsworth once again took
over, hoping to keep their offence
on the field for more than four
plays.

But it was not to be as Sand-
erson fumbled a snap, and an
Eagle jumped on the ball.

In the fourth quarter, the only
scoring came from the foot of
Eagles kicker Met Browning, who
nailed a 27-yarder through the
uprights to give Carson Graham a
9-0 lead.
