Bucket Stays in Beaufort

East Carteret scored early and often in the 2006 Mullet Bucket match-up against rival West Carteret. Although the final score was 42-20, WCHS did pull within two touchdowns late in the third stanza. However, the multi-faceted firepower of the Mariners proved to be too much for the improved Patriots. East Carteret capitalized on its one touch explosiveness. Many big plays from many gifted athletes! WCHS did significantly narrow the margin of defeat from last year’s 48-nil meltdown, and all indications are that Bucket 2007 will be a barn-burner.

In an early season contest, the Jr. Patriots exploded for 18 second-half points to regain the mini Mullet Bucket from cross-county rivals, the ECHS Mariners. In a tale of two halves, the Jr. Mariners muscled the Pats to a 6-6 tie at the half. In the second half, the Pats displayed relentless offense and swarming defense. Quote of the night goes to Don Kappel, voice of the Mariners: “Big play for the Mariners; Big play for the Patriots.”

Brian Watson and the good folks at Cypress Bay McDonald’s have graciously agreed to sponsor the Mullet Bucket post-game cheeseburger feast for the victors of the East / West football game.

The county’s oldest and most popular rivalry game began in 1965 with a 24-20 victory by the Patriots. Since then, the game has picked up a ceremonial Mullet Bucket trophy passed between the schools and filled with hamburgers for the winner each year.

Alumni from either school know it’s not really about buckets and burgers as much as it’s about a year’s worth of bragging rights, currently belonging to East following last year’s 48-0 victory.

But like any rivalry, the past will only matter until kickoff.

Kick-off is at 7:30 this Friday (8/25) at WCHS.

Interscholastic athletics have a vital place in the total educational program when they are effectively planned, organized, administered, supervised, and evaluated. Through school athletics, many of the interests and needs of young people can be served better than through any other channel. For this reason, it is important that school administrators, teachers, students, parents, and community personnel determine what educational objectives seem most desirable and plan athletic programs in keeping with the overall purposes of the school program.”
