Kinston put themselves in a solid position to win the
Coastal Division today with a win over Wilson. It
puts Kinston at 4-3 and 3-0 in the division. It is
just Kinston and Raleigh now to play it out, they meet
in week 10 and week 12. Marion Sorenson had another
solid game 18/25 for 221yds 2TDs 1Int and got good
support from his running game Eric Debow had 85yds on
27 carries and Maurice Bloom pitched in 48yds on 14
carries. Matt Trumbull was the main guy receiving
with 80yds and a TD on 6 receptions. Very good game
from veteran CB and ex Wilson Tob Terrence Love who
had 5 tackles 2 knockdowns and 1 Int. Turnovers were
the key for Kinston in this game as their offense
struggled a bit in the second half. Kinston hopes to
keep up their domination of the division next week in
Rocky Mount.
Wilson had hoped that with a win today they would put
themselves in with a chance to win the Division, but
now those hopes are gone and Wilson has to contend
themselves with trying to make the most of a bad year.
Their offense has show real improvement the past few
weeks, but 4 turnovers today and a struggling passing
defense hurt them. Derrick Smith had a sloppy game
going 18/37 for 219yds with 1TD, 2Ints, and a fumble.
The positive point for Wilson fans was the solid play
of top receivers Deion Scroggins and Wortham Wainright
who combined for 13 catches 198yds and a TD. The
defense struggled to keep Marion Sorenson in check
and with turnovers abounding on offense the defense
had their hands fool. They did a big touchdown from
DT Marty Cook who also had 2 tackles and 2 sacks on
the day. LB Douglas Cameron filling in for injured
Anthony Mitkiff had a solid game with 11 tackles.
Wilson hosts Raleigh next week and will have to get
their pass defense in gear if they hope to stop Tom
Smythe and his passing game.

Gastonia came into their week 7 matchup feeling very
confident. They felt as though they were one of the 3
best teams in the league as did most observers, and
Rocky Mount is a struggling team, with no real hope
for this season. In the end Rocky Mount almost took
this game led by a new starting QB. Gastonia's one
weakness is their running game and it hut them again
today with HB Konrad Wahler manager only 28yds on 14
carries. Darrell Sparks once again had to step up and
he did putting up solid number 22/39 for 250yds 1TD
and 1Int. He got another big game from Olav Flores
who had 5 receptions for 105yds, the key being a 70yd
TD pass late in the game. Flore made the catch then
faked out one defender and outran the last on a 3rd
and 1 play that sealed the victory for Gastonia. TE
Lionel Travers also had a good game with 9 catches for
60yds. He filled in as their running game struggled.
The key to this victory though was the defense led by
DE Joel Candy with 4 tackles and 4 sacks. They kept
constant pressure on newly acquired QB Jon Query and
though he gave them fits they were able to keep him
and HB Bernie Hall in check. Gastonia goes on the
road to Charlotte next week.
Stephen Caufield sat the bench today as Rocky Mount
tried a new starting QB for the first time since
probably 2000. Jon Query was recenlty acquired from
Wilson and started the game off with a bang his first
throw a 77yd TD pass. He would go on to play a solid
game, but under constant pressure and with good
coverage Gastonia's defense would keep him in check
12/23 for 255yds 1TD. Newly acquired HB Bernie Hall
continued to look good for Rocky Mount getting 58yds
on 14 carries and WR Tad Hamm continued his standout
season with 131yds on 3 receptions and a TD. All in
all it was a good game for Rocky Mount, but not enough
to get the win. Veteran LB Wildon Clark led the
defense with 8 tackles 1 sack and 1 knockdown, but in
the end Sparks and company proved too much as the
Leafs gave up a late touchdown. The Leafs host
Kinston next week hoping to get their first division
win of the season.
