cher, Ariz., while Workman is a freshman from i
Charlotte.
"We don't have a starting quarterback as of
yet," says Hayes. "Either of the three could get the
starting assignment, so 1 won't name a starter until |
right before the game.".
Although Hayes hasn't settled on a quarterback, (
he doesn't consider that to be the Rams major
worry. Replacing All-CIAA linemen Alvin Powell
and Jonathan Nimmons is however.
"Our biggest question mark going into the opening
game is on our offensive line," Hayes says. "A
week ago 1 thought we had adequate replacements,
but now I'm not so sure.
If the Rams can put together a formidable line,
the outstanding WSSU running backs should fare
well this season. Leonardo Horn, the Rams leading
rusher as a freshman last season, should get the
, starting nod at left halfhark hnt is Receiving a stem
ly be joined by Ed Byers at fullback and either
Robert Simmons or highly-touted freshman Lonnie
Pulley at left halfback.
Defensively, the Rams have performed extremely
well in the pre-season. "Right now, our defensive
unit is way ahead of our offense," says Hayes, i
"But that's not unusual going into the opening
game. ,
In Virginia State, the Rams will face a team that <
won four of their last five games in '83. The Rams \
narrowly defeated the Trojans 17-16 in the opener j
at Petersburg, Va. last year, and Hayes isn't taking .
Virginia State lightly.
44We expect Virginia State to be a very physical
football team," says Hayes. 4They have a lot of
talent and we expect a strong challenge from them.
I know they are a very good team."

opener, Hayes says the Rams must get a strong effort
from his defensive unit.
4'We need to have a good game from our defensive
line and linebackers," says Hayes. "I think
they might throw the ball a lot against us. If we can
get a good pass rush, I think we can win with our
defense."
Virginia State, which is riding high after their
finish last season, has nine starters returning on offense
and defense. Offensively, the Trojans will be
led by junior Marshall Trotter, who came off the
bench to carry them to their final two wins a year
ago.
He'll be joined by sophomore running back Von
Allen who had a good game in his debut against the
Rams in '83.

pick up wfeere he left off last season?' says Trojans

On defenseTvirginia State will be led by A1IC1AA
end James Ward.
"James is our defensive leader," says Moody.
"We expect big things from him this year. Our
linebackers. Mark Robinson. John Green and
Emile Moore should also do a stalwart job for us."
Moody says he expects the Rams to be pumped
up for their game against his Trojans. "Bill Hayes

to attend college, include Lora Smith, who is a student
at North Carolina A'T State University and
both Tasha Brooks and Juli Ingram who attend the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Other players that Scales says have made significant
contributions to the team include Lila Smith,
Rene' Coker, Delphine Williams, Cookie Thompson,
the only original team member, and the team's
oldest player Val Williams.
"Val is the oldest player on the team (age 44), but
she can still hit with any of the younger players,"
says Scales. "She's a very unique person."
Although the team has no sponsor and does not
get the publicity it deserves, Scales says he wouldn't
take anything for the enjoyment that comes from
coaching the Broncos.
"I'm a Softball addict," says Scales who played
star-studded career at Paisley High School.
"All I do is think about softball," says Scales.

"We hope to execute and cut down on mistakes
against Winston-Salem State," Moody continues.
"It's going to take a big effort for us to beat them,
but a win in the opening game of the season would
really solidify our program."
Last year, the outcome of the Trojans-Rams
match-up was decided by a missed field goal by
Virginia State and Hayes thinks the kicking game
will be crucial game on Saturday.
"They have a more sound kicking game this
year," says Hayes. "But we feel that our kicking
game has also improved. Vincent Jones will handle

"It's always on my mind. All year long I'm out trying
to scout players that can help the team."
Sporting a 53-15 overall record ?hus far, the
Broncos must still play for the league championship.
While Scales doesn't discount the significance
of notching another league title, his team's efforts
are concentrated on the world championship tournament.
"We know that the world tournament is going to
be the toughest competition we have faced," says
Scales. "But it's a goal we've always had and we are
* looking forward to the trip."
The trip to Georgia will cost the team approximately
$1,600. That is with each team member paying
for their own motel rooms and food.
"So far, we have been able to raise about $400
