Our best win was undoubtedly defeating Portsmouth in 1976, my Senior year. We were playing as one the entire night. I was privileged to catch a touchdown pass of 49 yards in my final game in the Orange and Black.

Having only lost one game in my 3 years at the varsity level, the 1975 loss to Portsmouth was indeed tough. I broke my ankle early in the 3rd quarter and was not able to complete the game.

I would have to recount 2 memorable moments. In our 1976 game against undefeated Notre Dame I was able to catch my good friend, David Byrd, on a cross-field block on a punt return that landed him under the bench. During the Portsmouth game in 1976 I caught my last touchdown as a Pirate. I had planned on doing a flip in the end zone after the catch. I lost my nerve and instead began approaching the bench. As I neared the sideline I thought, what the heck, and did it anyway. Wendell MacBrayer had been coming over to give me five and I landed on my butt right at his feet. The look on Mac's face alone was worth more than the touchdown.
