Vikings humiliate Oilers 38-7;
Carter plays key role in romp
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony
Carter took his foot out of his mouth
and put it ahead of Houston defend-
Sur
ers Sunday, catching seven passes
for 123 yards and leading the Min
nesota Vikings to a 38-7 victory over
the Oilers.
Carter, who on Tuesday said he
was so upset with his contract that
Vikings coach Jerry Burns should
bench him because “I won’t put my
best foot forward,” scored Minneso
ta’s first touchdown and set up its
next two.
A two-time Pro Bowl receiver who
is making $450,000 this year, about
half as much as some of the league’s
highest-paid receivers, Carter later
apologized to Burns and the team.
Wade Wilson accepted the apol
ogy and said he would throw early
and often to Carter. He did, hitting
Carter for 14 yards on the Vikings’
first offensive play.
The pair connected twice more on
the seven-play, 80-yard drive, in
cluding a 32-yard touchdown pass
that tied the game 7-7.
Minnesota got the ball back on
Mike Merriweather’s diving inter
ception of a Warren Moon pass and,
after Wilson’s 14-yard pass to Car
ter, Wilson hit Steve Jordan with a 2-
yard TD pass.
Wilson, starting his first season as
the team’s undisputed No. 1 quar
terback after a two-year battle with
Tommy Kramer, completed 16 of 25
passes for 218 yards.
The Vikings went up 21-7 by tak
ing advantage of another Houston
mistake: punter Greg Montgomery’s
inability to handle Bruce Matthews’
low snap. One play after a Wilson-to-
Carter 22-yard hookup, Rick Penney
scored from 1 yard.
Teddy Garcia made a 35-yard
field goal for a 24-7 halftime lead.
Penney added a 3-yard third-
quarter run and Alfred Anderson
scored from 2 yards in the fourth.
Houston, losing its first opener in
five years, had taken a 7-0 lead on a
13-play, 61-yard march capped by
Alonzo Highsmith’s 1-yard run. The
drive ate up the game’s first 7:48.
The Oilers were without 1,000-
yard rusher Mike Rozier, who just
signed Thursday.
Top teams in prep football see weekend action
For Corrigan-Camden coach Jim Skinner, the 1989
high school football season has gotten off to a good
start.
The Bulldogs lost most of last year’s Class 2A state
championship team to graduation, including eight play
ers who received football scholarships.
But 5-6, 167-pound Undra Holman, who gained
2,337 yards last year, is back, and Holman exploded for
221 yards on 20 carries, including a 41-yard touchdown
run, as Corrigan-Camden defeated Woodville, 35-16,
on Friday night.
Corrigan-Camden, ranked No. 4 in Class 2A in the
Associated Press preseason poll, has its hands full this
week, however. The Bulldogs must go to Groveton, the
state’s No. 1-ranked 2A team.
A similar match-up is in Class 5A, where Marshall,
ranked No. 4 last week, journeys to Odessa Permian,
the state’s No. 2-ranked team. Marshall lost to Neville,
La., 22-17, last weekend while Permian was blasting El
Paso Austin, 55-0, behind the running of Chris Comer.
Vol
In last weekend’s key games, top-ranked Converse
Judson in 5A, defending state champ Paris in 4A,Gi
veton in 2A and Munday in 1A all won, but Navaso
ranked No. 1 in 3A, was bounced, 20-8, by A&MCg
solidated.
That leaves No. 2 Sweeny, No. 3 Southlake Can
and No. 4 Gainesville poised to fill the void. Swee
beat West Columbia 34-13, defending 3A state chat
Southlake Carroll routed Boyd 41-0 for its 17thstraif
win, and Gainesville defeated Springtown 39-7.
In a major upset, No. 3-ranked Lufkin in SAIost
Beaumont Central 27-14.
In games involving top-ranked teams, Judson be
San Antonio Jay 37-0, Paris beat No. 4-ranked Denis.™ r
32-16, Groveton beat Trinity 35-7, and Munday ov
whelmed Haskell 61-20.
Skinner has no argument with those who pickedGi
veton as the No. 1 Class 2A team in the state overli
defending state championship club.
“That’s who I would have picked. They haveagrs
club, a lot of talent. I don’t know if we can stop them
not. We’re real young this year, and we’re having sen
ral kids play hurt,” Skinner said.
