Pulaski County defensive lineman Nick McCrary leaps in attempt to block pass
A Pulaski County High School fan walked into the
locker room following Friday night's season opening
. trouncing of Anacostia and made a statement that is
probably very true. "When the rest of the Roanoke
Valley District reads about this, they're going Jo say
"oh no, not again!"
Well if this 42-8 blitz is any indication, and the
Indians are riot too overrated, it would appear the rest
of the RVD may very well have a problem preventing
the Cougars from winning a fifth straight championship in'85.
.

In some ways, this was viewed as a rebuilding year
for Pulaski County. Friday night, it appeared as if Joel
Hicks1 program had simply reloaded its muskets even
though only six starters returned from last year.
This Cougar team is indeed young. In fact, 12 of
Friday night's starters will return in '86. And there,
Were some mistakes, but this squad would seem to
have the ability to be one of the most exciting ever
played beside the big cornfield. But this team would
also appear to be something

•Senior safety Rodney Landreth said it best when
asked if he was surprised about the team's performance especially with the youngest starting lineup
in Hicks'seven seasons at PCHS.
"I know people had some questions about this team
coming in. We are young, and I guess untested to a
degree, but tonight should set the record straight.
Nothing has changed. It's still Pulaski County."
Landreth also "set the record" straight in another
area Friday night with .two pass interceptions bringing
his career total to nine. The first one tied Billy Myers ,
(now at Virginia Tech) for the PCHS career lead, and
the second gave Landreth the hew mark to beat and he
still has at least nine more games to play in '85.
"I wanted to break the record," said Landreth. "But
the main thing is we won the game. I didn't think we

and things came together for us."
Big plays came at a rapid rate for the Cougars.
PCHS matched the record set last season against
William Fleming for the most interceptions in a game
(5). In addition to Landreth's two, sophomore cornerback Steve Alley also had two, and senior outside
linebacker Brad Golden had one which he turned into a
17-yard touchdown.
/"It was the same play they had tried to run a lot,"
said Golden. "It was a flood to a back to the outside. I
just read the play. Any back that runs a pass route out
df the backfield is my responsibility. I just stepped in
front and that was it."
In a way it was vindication for Alley. Both his interceptions came on deflwHons.

For 'Cronan the Barbarian* physical contact is a 'sensual' thing
WASHINGTON-In the course of
the preseason the Redskins'
coaching staff sifted meticulously
through the available talent, the
bricks, if you will, with a mind to
build yet another division winner.
Week by week the selection
process continued, the chosen
bricks being carefully sanded and
polished while their less desirable
counterparts were relegated to the,
discard pile. But bricks, no matter
how substantial, do not an imposing edifice make without
mortar. That substance which
binds the whole together and holds
all things in proper alignment.
So far as the Redskins are
concerned the bricks were readily
definable^ being classified under
such familiar designations as Joe.
Theismanri, George Rogers, John
Riggins; Dave Butz and the like.
But the mortar, comprised largely
of backup personnel and special
learners, must constitute a fare
mix of innately strong, resisitve
and durable elements.
Not surprisingly,' the procedure
to determine the consistency of the
mortar, in the estimation of the
Redskins' administration, is
considered equal in importance to
that of obtaining the proper
building bricks.
For the past eight NFL seasons,
five of these relative to the Redskins, Peter Cronan, affectionately
known to his colleagues as
"Cronan the Barbarian" out of
respect for his special teams
. savagery, has been- a prime
ingredient in the Redskins' mortar
mix. Listed as a linebacker, he
generally expends his penchant for
violence as a member of the
kickoff and return squads.
"I love playing so much,"he said
(his past week during preparations
for Washington's last exhibition
game: "To my way of thinking,
hammering somebody is almost a
sensual experience. Knock a guy
for a loop and that man respects
you. Out there nobody has an
advantage. You just match up
with the other guy and there are no
grenades, knives or guns. It's a
fundamental, primordial thing.
We're like gladiators of the 20th
century. The excitement overcomes all the risks. I love it;"
Twice in his abbreviated career
Cronan has sustained a serious
injury. But where other less
dedicated souls would have
dismissed thoughts of further
football ventures, "The Barbarian" champed at the bit until he
could return to the grand melee.
"Last year I was out most of the
season with a fractured ankle," he
recalled. "And I missed all of 1980
with a broken neck when I was with
Seattle. I remember a guy saying
. to me then, 'Hey, you've got an
excuse to.get out of football now.',
And I said to him, 'I'm not done
yet.' It's just a matter of a different
mentality. Football? I enjoy the
hell out of it."
Redskin
Report
By Denis Harington
Perennially, Cronan is forced to
fight for survival, to remain active
in the NFL. Every preseason at
this time when teams are paring
down to permanent roster size for
the start of the regular schedule,
he is faced with becoming a victim
of the cutting ritual. This time
around it's no, different.
•
"Early this year coach (Joe)
Gibbs said there probably wouldn't
be a place for me on the team,"
Cronan related. "He asked me if I
wanted to be traded. And I
declined, preferring to retire. But
just before the preseason training
camp opened I was .invited to
report and give it one more try. I
jumped at the chance."
Of late, the Redskins were experiencing difficulties in long
snapping situations and Cronan
volunteered his services.
"I haven't snapped in 11 years,"
he confessed* "but I have a good
understanding of it by coaching. I
teach long snapping at Boston
College (his alma mater). I teach
college kids in spring training. And
too, 1 figure the more things you
can do the better off you are."
No one is more aware of how
tentative his position on the team is
with the approach of final cuts this
Tuesday than Cronan himself.
"I heard a comment early in
training camp," he said, "by a
member of the (Redskins')
decision making hierarchy and I
resented it a bit. The person said,
'Cronan is more valuable off the
field than on it.' But now I realize it
was said with regard to what went
on last year."
In 1984, Cronan was kept with the
team after incurring his
debilitating ankle injury. And the
reason?.
Said Washington general
manager Bobby Beathard at the.
time, "Pete is a real blood and guts
player. Joe (Gibbs) decided he
represented such a positive influence on the team that it was
important for him just to be on the
sidelines."
When questioned by members of
the media about his precarious
status with the Redskins, Cronan
replied, "So what's different from
the last eight years'? I'm not
operating under a false sense of
security. But I'm fortunate to be
psychologically tested personally.
It's like I tell all the rookies. Don't
beat yourself: Make believers out

noinpleted three of 11 passes for 88
yards. The Cougar defense which.
was believed to be a big question
mark coming into the/ season,
especially./ the secondary where
two sophomores start, held Purvis
to only nine completions .in 27 attempts for 140 yards. Anacostia
managed only 23 yards rushing for
the game.

Princeton tigers next week, at

Elliott starts Sunday's race on
the pole, a spot )ie earned with a
speed of 156.641 mph. The Ford is
the same one he drove to victory at
Darlington in April with "pretty
much the same-setup." .
Starting beside him is threetime
Grand National champion David
Pearson, the driver with the most
victories at- the tricky speedway
constructed in the early 1950s.
Pearson, wihner-of-10 Darlington
races, qualified his Ford at 155.986
mph.
,
. "I have looked -at this as just
another race," Elliott said. "I'm
not looking at the money standpoint. I'm out to win the race. It's a
tough race track and a mistake
here cap cost you in'a lot of ways. .
I'm going to drive my normal race:
I haven't got anything to prove to
anybody, I just do my job and go on
down the road."
Elliott, however, has discussed
at length his hopes that the other
drivers will respect his situation
during the race. > "
"What I mean by respect is that
during the-race they race me like
they/ are running any other,"
.Elliott said. "Last year when
Terry (Labonte) and Harry (Gant)
1
were going for, the national
championship, I raced them like
crazy to beat them. But I gave
them as much room as possible. I
don't expect anyone just to move
over. I wouldn't if I was in their
position. I have worked for
everything I have gotten so far and
I want to beat them all."

Continued from page Bl
But there were a lot of shining performances in the
Cougar opener. Jr. kicker Mickey Thomas had his
problems in '84. Against Anacostia he missed his first
extra point kick due to a bad hold. Following the second
Cougar TD Myers ran for two out of the "Muddle
Huddle." Thomas was perfect on the next four conversions.
The '84 PCHS defense allowed but 6.2 points a game
and was the best in Cougar history. But except for a
gift touchdown late in the second quarter the '85
defense would have posted' a shoutout. Anacostia
quarterback Albert Purvis should have been sacked,
and his pass was short, but tipped into the hands of
Mark Jackson by a Cougar in the end zone.
Still, Purvis hit only nine of 27 passes for 140 yards
and suffered the five thefts. The Indians attempted but
14 running plays gaining only 23 yards. And while there
was but one sack recorded on Purvis, many of his
missed passes were a result of pressure. So the '85
Cougar defense would not appear to be a drastic
dropoff at this stage.
And the offense obviously has more weapons and is
much quicker. Eight different running backs gained
positive yardage.
^
The night became complete when Louis Johnson, all
5-3,136 Ibs, of him burst up the middle to score the final
Cougar tojJchdown.From' 10 yards out. The overflow,
crowd stood in mass and cheered when
Johnson
;
crossed the goal line.
There's little reason to explain Johnson's handicap
because he doesn't feel he has one. I doubt he does
either. But it was a moment that will long be
remembered in Cougar football annals. It was a
heartwarming experience for a very deserving young
man.

Friday night was a super experience for Pulaski
County in general. And while the season is barely
underway the Cougars appear to have already served
notice that '85 is by no means a rebuilding year.
And that indeed is not good news-for the RVD.
