South Brunswick has yet to crack the win column after two games ami West Brunswick received a rude welcome to the new season last Friday. North Brunswick did manage to even its record at 1-1 with an impressive 2fi-0 road win over Dixon last week. While the three county squads sport a less-than-impresslve 1-4 record against outside competition, the early schedules of the trio are the toughest in years. Both West and South Brunswick have fallen to Pender, a team that finished runncrup in the Three Rivers 3-A Conference last season and advanced to the state playoffs.

Friday is the home opener for both as West entertains I .ittleficld and South hosts Acme-Delco.

Both Fairmont and East Bladen fell in nonconference play as the Golden Tornadoes were edged by Orrum, 20-18 and the Cougars lost to Clinton, 14-6.
