21 -point fourth
quarter lifts Jones
in season-opener

JONES -- A 21 -point fourth
quarter sparked the Jones Long-
horns to a 29-0 season-opening
win over the Perkins-Tryon De-
mons last Friday night.
P-T will open the home por-
tion of the schedule Friday night
against the Luther Lions. Kick-
off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
The game was knotted at 0-0
at halftime. However, the De-
mons had a couple of scoring
opportunities. Head coach
Steven Grotheer said he felt if
his team went into the intermis-
sion with at least a 10-0 lead, the
outcome might have been far
different. P-T also had another
opportunity go bust in the third
quarter. Jones took over on
downs and then drove for a
score.
"Emotionally, that took a lot
out of us," Grotheer said. "It
looked like we were tired but we
were more emotionally tired af-
ter that than we were physi-
cally."
Place kicker Bobby Holmes
just missed tallying the Demons'
first points of the season with
just over three minutes left in the
first quarter. His 44-yard field
goal attempt had plenty of dis-
tance but was slightly off-target
to the right.
, After forcing Jones to punt
on their ensuing drive, the De-
?mons took the ball and moved
'lit to the Jones 30. But an illegal
procedure penalty and a sack on
quarterback Ken McBride
':Snuffed the opportunity.

Coming off a disappointing
29-0 loss last week, the Perkins-
Tryon Demons are looking for
history to begin repeating itself.
It will begin Friday night, as the
Demons will host the Luther
Lions at 7:30 p.m.
The visiting Lions will enter
the contest with a 1-0 record af-
ter last week's easy 28-7 win
over the Wellston Tigers. But it
was last year's game that spring-
boarded P-T to an impressive
string of wins. The Demons
went down to the Lincoln
county connnunity and left with
a 27-0 win.
In early looks at the Lions,
Grotheer said they have good
size on both sides of the line.
However, they do not possess
the same kind of speed, as did
Jones.
Offensively, the Lions will
show familiar looks in the Wing-
T and double-slot formations
and relies on running the ball
outside for success. That, how-
ever, will play into the Demons'
defensive strength.
"We like people running
sideways on our defense," head
coach Steve Grotheer added.
And on defense, the Lions
will again line up in the famed
"46" Defense made popular by
the Chicago Bears ig
1980s. They've
