New Head Football
> Coach At East Duplin
By Emily Klllette
A combination of North
Dupl:n High School's football
tradition, James Kenan's
large student turn-out, and
Wallace-Rose Hill's team
strength are the goals new
head football Coach Jean
' Earl Worthington plans to
work toward in the East
Duplin football program.
"The school lacks the
numbers," Head football
Coach Jean Wqrthlngton at
East Duplin High School,
said. "Not many players
came out for football, only
about 26 on the varsity and
26 on the junior varsity. Even
though East Duplin is a fairly
| large 2-A school, it draws
students from a very spread
out area. And, that is deceiv
ing to the football program
because so many sopho
mores and freshmen live far
away and don't have a way to
get back to the school for
practice."
Worthington is a native of
New Bern. He has spent the
past two years as coach of the
Fayett^ville City high school
Pine Forest, and Worthing
ton's team advanced to state
semi-finals where they were
defeated last season by
Jacksonville in play-offs.
After coaching 21 years,
Worthington has a record of
18 winning seasons and three
losing, which he attributes to
the transition from one foot
ball program to a new one.
During the 18 winning sea
sons, Worthington's team
has advanced to state play
offs seven times. He is a
graduate and former football
player at Catawba College.
"The potential is Here,"
Worthington said. "But the
most important thing for the
football program is to
strengthen the community's
interest. Once you start
being a success, people
begin to jump on the band
wagon.
"The first goal is to build
the turn-out numbers up.
and then the second thing
would be to get the players
and the community's attitude
right. The third goal is to get
a weight program started
and I think the rest will take
care of itself," Worthington
said. Football practice began
Aug. 1 at East Duplin High
School; Worthington started
a weight-conditioning
program during July, three
nights a week at the high
school.
"A team needs talent,"
Worthington said, "and the
potential for a good football
program is here ? talent
with speed and physically
strong, the team will be
competitive in the conference
and generate community in
terest. You have to have
tradition in a football pro
gram and it has to wrap up
the entire school and the
community." East Duplin
will play its first regular
season game with Swans
boro. Game time is 8 p.m.
Friday. August 26; the junior
varsity plays Aug. 25.

ECC Football Outlook 1983
By Joe Coetln
The sports department
down at DUPLIN TIMES in
Kenan|ville has attempted to
gather a little preseason
football information for the
many fans who 'support East
Central Conference football.
Several weeks ago, THE
TIMES sent a football pre
season questionaire to alt the
coaches in the conference.
Teams that make up the ECC
include North Duplin, James
Kenan, East Duplin, South
Lenoir, Union, Hobbton,
Lake wood, Wallace-Rose Hill
and Midway. The sports
department at THE TIMES
had plans to share with you a
littlq infor on all the teams
collectively, which may
stimulate you and get you
ready for the 1983 football
seaston
THE DUPLIN TIMES will
share with you a few details
on the following teams that
returned the questionnaires
(North Duplin, East Duplin,
South Lenoir, Midway and
Union High).
North Duplin Coach Ken
Avent, one of the all-time
great coaches in the ECC,
has much concern for his
Rebels this season. North
Duplin lost more talent than
Coach Jean Earl Worthlngton
Working with the East
Duplin football program this
season are Butch Budd,
Jerry Hunter and Billy
Stephens, instructors at the
high school. Assisting from
the Beulaville community are
Rusty Lanier and Ed Crute,
Stephens will be in his first
year with Duplin County
schools. He comes to East
Duplin from the Hoke County
School system. Stephens is
teaching social studies and
working as offensive line
coach for the East Duplin
Panthers.
Worthington is married
and he and his wife Patsy
have three children. Tammy
age 13 years, Tom, 12 and
Jamie. 6
any other team in the
school's history, including
All-East Ralph "Britt (N.C.
State), All-East Johnny
Artis, probably the best
runner ever in the East
Central with 2,030 yards
(Wake Forest), All-East and
Shrine Bowl star Charles
Showers (Davidson), All
Conference selections
Dwight Armwood, Jeff Coats
and Curt Williams were also
lost along with standouts
Ken Barfield, Donny Taylor
and Timmy Jones. If losing
that kind of talent doesn't
keep you awake at night,
what will. No other Last
Central school has ever lost
that much talent in any given
season.
Of course he may get a
little rest with the permiere
running back in the leage in
the Rebel's backtield in All
ECC Anthony Jernigan.
Coach Avent will return 10
lettermen to "try to match
their 12-2 overall record of a
year ago. "We would like to
take it all, but with the heavy
losses, it will be most diffi
cult," Avent said. Avent's
Rebels were tietl for the ECC
championship with Wallace
Rose Hill last year with a 7-1
record.
Coach Avent's North
Duplin team travels to South
Brunswick this Friday night
(Aug. 26) in th^eir 1983
opener.
East Duplin High's 1983
hopes will rest on the broad
shoulder of new head Coach
Jean Earl Worthington.
Worthington came to East
Duplin from Pine Forest
High School, a 4-A power
that lost in the state playoffs
a year ago. Worthington will
need a lot of help with his
Panthers returning only six
lettermen, including Keith
Strickland, Daryl Baysden,
Darren Sholar, Frank Brown,
Ashley Blizzard and Kirt
Thigpen. Several newcomers
will be welcomed including
Jamie Sholar, Jeff Batchelor,
Mike Bonneville, Neal Thig
pen and Ed Ashlock. Coach
Worthington will be assisted
by Butch Budd, Jerry
Hunter, Rusty Lanier and Ed
Crute to help build a winning
atmosphere at the Panther
school East Duplin will open
the 1983 season when thev
host Swansboro this Friday
night (Aug. 26) at the
Panther Field in Beulaville.
South Lenoir Coach Jimmy
Smith has 18 lettermen re
turning to build the 1983
season on for his Blue Devils.
The Blue Devils lost such
I
standouts as AU-ECC quar
terback D^vid Jenkins and
All-Conference running back
Wade Smith, the best back in
the state, Joe Outlaw, Ren
Rouse, Rex Howard, Reggie
Wingate and Mike Kennedy.
Ampngthe starlets returning
for Coach Smith are Darrell
King, Lin Hartsell, Tony
Turner, Paul Dunn. Otis
Tate, Napoleon Burney,
Steve Parnell, Mickey How
ard, Johnny Kennedy, Dan
Worthington and Chris Bar
nette.
Coach Smith will have
newcomers Trip Dansant,
Wendell D^vis, Sam Denlan,
Arron Howard, Danny Davis,
Andy Croom and Wade Tyn
dall who may play a role in
the Devil's attack. Smith
said, "We have good ex
perienced linemen, depth in
the line, and if our young
backs come through, the
team should improve a lot
over the 2-6 ECC mark of a
year ago." The Blue Devils
will test their strength Fri
day night (Sept. 2) as they
host cross-county rivals
North Lenoir at Deep Run.
The Midway Raiders of
Coach Tommy Sloan will
settle for the 6-4 overall mark
of a year ago should anyone
record it. Coach Sloan lost
three All-ECC selections in
Glenn Warren, Robert tew
and Darwin Carr, along with
such talent as quarterback
Glenn Patrick. Midway will
return experience in Dave
Wilson, Rab Pope, Henry
Elliott, Steve Bell and Darrell
Barnes. Newcomers will in
clude Phillip Loving, Toby
Carter and Chris Owen to
help build Sloan's hopes for
1983. The Raiders will open
the season traveling to
Pender High Friday night
(Aug. 26) in Burgaw.
Coach O.C. Holland's
Union Spartans will defi
nitely improve over their
1-18-1 mark over the past two
years. Union will be return
ing 17 veterans in '83 and
with the experience, the
Spartans may just surprise a
lot of folks. Coach Holland
will be looking real hard at
such veterans as Steve Peter
son, Lennie Webster, Clifton
Carter, Tim Gray, David
Simmons, along with new
comers Brock Douglass,
Rodney Johnson, Keith
Woodard and Roy Mimms.
Union will take on Clarkton
at home this week (Aug. 26).
Would have been glad to
share with the outlook for
James Kenan this season,
but like Wallace-Rose Hill,
the coaching staff did not
return info requested. Any
way, the writer wishes both
teams the very best this
season. James Kenan may
be as strong as last season,
but any way you cut it, the
Dogs should take it all. jc.

James Madison Randolph, born Jan. 17, 1806. He
was a grandson of then President Thomas Jefferson.

CUSTOMER UPDATE
How is telephone
industry change
affecting you?
Change. We've been talking about
it for a long time. About decisions by the
Federal Communications Commission.
About growing competition in the
telephone industry. About less
government regulation of telephone
companies About amazing new
technology. About how these changes
will affect you.
Many of the changes are well
underway. If you haven't already felt their
effects, you will. And soon. Our changing
business means more choices for you. In
products. In sen/ices. In suppliers. In how
much you pay and how you pay for your
communications needs.
We've been talking about change
for a long time. And here are a few of the
things we've been saying:
Competition in the
telephone industry.
The Federal Communications
Commission has decided that competition
in the telephone
industry is good
We think so, too.
Competition gives
you choices
Buying your telephones.
Because of competition, you no
longer have to rent your telephones from
us. You can buy your telephones from
anyone you choose and eliminate monthly
rental charges. You can even buy the
telephones you now rent from us
More than one long
distance company.
A variety of companies can now
compete for your long distance business.
If they do now (or when they do), you can
choose the type and price of service to
meet your needs.
Local rates pushed higher.
In the past, we have used money from
long distance calls to help pay for local
service Because of decisions by the
federal government, beginning January 1,
1984, telephone compan ies can no longer
use long distance monies to subsidize
local access lines. Local service must
begin paying for itself. As a result, local
rates must go up.
New ways to pay.
With rates for local service going up,
you need ways to control your monthly
communications costs Instead of the
same monthly rate for everyone, why not
charges based on
the amount of local
v service you use7
* Use less, pay less
It's called Local
Measured Service
Local Measured
Service is optional.
And it gives you
choices. We'll tell
you more about Optional Local Measured
Service when it's introduced in your area
Meeting your nfeds.
Competition means providing the best
product at th? best price And we intend to
continue being your primary source for
communications sen/ices We're working
harder to keep your business
If you would like more details about
our changing business, and how it is
affecting you, fill out this coupon and mail
it to the address shown We'll send you
the free brochure, "Telephone Service
What Does it Really Mean?" Or ask for
information about timely programs we
would like to present to your club or
organization.
Because our business is changing,
you have more choices than ever before
We want to help you make the right ones
