2-A football ranking in the Associated

released last week.
Whiteville. winners of the Waccamaw
Conference in a run away,
received eight of nine possible firstplace
votes and outdistanced secondranked
Jordan-Matthews and thirdplace
North Rowan.
North Rowan received the only
other first-place vote while also

Nearby Wallace-Rose Hill (10-01,
East Central Conference champion,
was ranked fourth in the poll and is a
likely opponent of Whiteville in the
third round of the state playoffs
should both win Friday.
Clarkton was tabbed as the topranked
1-A team after also finishing
the regular season unbeaten at 10-0.
Whiteville running back Patrick
I-ennon was named to the North
Carolina team last week in the annual
Shrine Bowl Football Game
scheduled for Charlotte on Dec. 14.
The game is sponsored each year
by Shriners as a fund raiser and pits
the top high school players from
North Carolina against those of South
Carolina.

Two of the three Waecamaw 2-A
Conference state football playoff
teams were eliminated last Friday in
the opening round of post-season action.
WC champion Whiteville opened at
home with a 48-6 rout of East Centra!
third-place finisher Clinton (7-4)
while conference runnerup West Columbus
was trounced by host White
Oak (East Central runnerup), 36-7
and visiting South Robeson (WC
third-place) fell to Waliace-Rose Hill
(ECC champion), 39-6.
Whiteville will continue playoff action
Friday hosting Clayton (9-2) in
second round play.
The two losses by West Columbus
and South Robeson ended the season
for both. West Columbus finished the
year at ft-3 overall while Sout^i
Robeson concluded its campaign at
fl-5.
Wolf pack running back Patrick
lonnon ran for 146 yards and three
touchdowns to lead Whiteville to its
11th win of the season in an openinground
blowout of Clinton.
Whiteville scored four times in the
first 6:21 of the game and took a
quick 164) lead before the Dark
Horses were ever really able to get
into their offensive scheme.
Clinton did receive some consolation
on its second possession of the
game when the Dark Horses became
only the second team to score on the
Wolfpack this season.
Clinton drove 64 yards in five plays
sparked by a 64-yard halfback option
pass from Scott lewis to running
back Trey Apperson on the first snap.
Four plays later Tracey Thornton
scored to bring Clinton to within 16-6
but the Dark Horses never got closer.
Whiteville blocked three Clinton
punts turning the Dark Horses
miscues into a safety and a fourth
quarter touchdown as Curtis Edwards
fell on the loose ball in the end
rone for the score.
Chris Little also scored for the
Wolf pack oo a 38 yard run as did

l-ennon has run for 1,144 yards this
season and has been one of the top
running backs in the state.
Wolfnack followers are hopeful
that Lennon is able to miss the bowl
game due to Whiteville's participation
in the 2-A championship game.
In order to do so, Whiteville must win
three more playoff games where it
could wind up hosting the title contest.
Waccamaw 2-A Conference officials
met in Whiteville last week for
the league's second quarterly
meeting of the year.
Top priority at the meeting was
given to the manner in which allconference
teams are named. Since
there were several ties this year in
the conference football race, the matter
of deadlocks was dealt with to
prevent future controversy.
The league also declined to adopt
uie uiree-poini piay in DasKetball.
The North Carolina High School
Athletic Association had approved
the three point goal but allowed individual
conferences to decide upon
whether to allow it in their respective
leagues.
The format of conducting girls
volleyball matches was also changed.
Beginning next season, volleyball
matches will be held in a doubleheader
format rather than the current
round-robin schedule.
The league's next scheduled
meeting will be Jan 8 in Whiteville.
