Both are Portland natives and are cousins by way o f their mothers who are sisters. Jermaine was born Feb 10,1978 and Chazz was bom two months later on April 20. Jermaine recognizes his mother as being the stabilizing force in his life. He also credits his older brother Patrick Strickland for being his role model. Jermaine is a first year varsity quarter back, having played varsity defense and junior varsity quarter back last year. A t 5 ’ 10" and 155 p o u n d s Jermaine has to use his quickness, ball handling ability and passing arm to fend off competitors. His coach states that Jermaine also plays basketball as a point guard forW ilson and the ball handling skills he developed there translate very well into running the wishbone offense of Wilson. Thompson is evolving into a team leader, leading by example. He says he pumps up his team mates when they need encouragement. But it is his performance on the field that really does his talking. In a recent game he was 7 of twelve for over 250 yards. The multi-talented Thompson aspires to be an allergist physician He said he has always had a desire to be a doctor, but it was his exposure to the doctor who owns the Triple Threat basketball team that influenced him to be an allergist. W hen asked about his college plans Thompson said that he would like to attend either Oregon or A ri zona State, he noted that his first choice in sports is basketball he said would play football however if he put on some more weight. Although his cousin Chazz. won’t admit it when the two of them get together they do talk trash and talk about bragging rights says Jermaine.

The eighth r anked Viking 4-2 sim ply dissembled the Hilltopper 4-2 in the first half, building a 35-0 lead on the strength o f 439 yards total offense. A runaway of this nature was far from anticipated. Western Kentucky went into the game before 8,800 fans in Smith Stadium as the 10th ranked team in NCAA Division I AA and with aspiring play off hopes. This defeat was the largest mar gin suffered by the Hilltoppers since Smith was opened in 1968. Quarterback Kyle Allen and run ning back Darick Holmes both had big games. Allen who played sparingly in the second half completed 16 of 26 passes for 218 yards and three touchdowns.

Moore first got involved with organized football at the Pop W arner level where he played 1 year at the slot back position and 2 years at quarterback he says he like the re sponsibility and leadership that goes with being a quarter back. This is reinterated by his coach Mark Pinder who says he has seen a lot o f grow th in M oore in his ability to make deci sions on the field. Moore cited some of his team mates such as Antonio McKinney a slot wide receiver, Hamani Nolan, a runningback and Demetrius Hardin for making the offense click. He also mentioned the Hit Squad,the starting defense for keeping the team in the games they’ve won. Although at 6 ’2" and 190 lbs and the fact that he'll undoubtedly grow more, he might have thoughts of playing pro. But Moore brought the question into more of realistic perspective by focusing his a n sw e r to that q u e stio n by c o m m e n tin g th at he is m ore c o n c e rn e d a b o u t c o lle g e right now . he w ould lik e to a t tend T exas A .M . and m a jo r in co m m u n ic a tio n .

Coors national pro gram manager in community rela tions. “I hope that I can help provide a positive example to young Latinos that will encourage them to develop their personal potential.

The defense like last week suited up and showed up and allowed West ern Kentucky only 371 yards total of fense for the game. 221 yards came in the second half when P.S.U. was sub stituting liberally. Portland State domi nated from almost the on set of the game. Scoring on three connective possessions after failing on the first. Rick Anderson's fumble recov ery at the Western Kentucky 20 set up a five yard passing score from Allen to Kyle Holley. On the next possession the Vi king went 64 yards in four plays cul minating in a 38 romp up the middle by Holmes. Allen completed four of four for 44 yards on his teams subsequent drive that covered 82 yards. Steve Papin had a run of 32 yards to the Hilltoppers 11 before Allen passed to Hundon for the T.D. so after Jeff Corwells third of seven conversion kicks. • • • • • • • It was P.S.U. 21 Western Ken tucky 0. Suffice it to say the local fans were in shock. Allen threw 38 yard pass to Hundon, then a 31 yarder to a wide - open Papin for the next score. Holmes scored on 49 yard rush on a fourth down play to complete the first half drubbing. The Hilltoppers came out pitch ing in the third quarter by scoring twice in the third quarter. One on a nifty run by Antwan Floyd for 72 yards. However just as they were begin ning to seize the momentum Hundon put a damper on things by returning a kickoff for 95 yards. The Vikings continued to have problems with penalties - two 15 yard penalties for celebrating after a score. But the infractions didn't hurt that much. Matt James com m ented, that coach W alsh had told them they had not put it all together. “W ell 1 think we put it together in this one. It ought to be great for e vey one' s confidence".
