PRE-SEASON FOOTBALL
South Brunswick Bests
Hoggard In 'Quagmire'
BY DOLJC; RUTTER
South Brunswick kepi a light grip
on the rain-slick pigskin Saturday
while Hoggard coughcd up seven
fumbles in a pre-season high school
football scrimmage in Boiling
Spring Lakes.
As a result, South's Cougars
scored three touchdowns and yield
ed just one in their first contest of
the year. The Cougars get their final
pre-season tuncup Friday night at
the UCB Football Jamboree in
Wilmington.
"It was like a quagmire out
there," South Brunswick Head
Coach Bill Hewett said following
Saturday's scrimmage with the 4A
Vikings.
"1 was impressed with the way
our boys held the ball," Hewett
added. "We probably moved the ball
better than 1 thought we would."
South Brunswick moved the ball
almost exclusively on the ground
behind the running of O.J. Morris,
Terry Galloway and Kevin Smith.
The Cougars completed just one
pass, but it helped set up the final
touchdown.
"We didn't throw the ball tonight
but we can throw it,'* said Hcwctl,
who will use a triple-option offense
this season. "People aren't going to
be able to load up on us like last
year."
Hcwctt said he has added a "few
wrinkles" to the wishbone attack the
Cougars used in 1992. "We're going
to make people play us honest," he
said, alluding to an improved pass
ing game.
The coach said he was impressed
with his defense, which has a lot of
players back from last season.
"We've got 11 hitters out there.
We've got decent speed, decent size.
Defense is going to carry us."
The Cougars recovered seven
fumbles Saturday as Hoggard's run
ning backs had trouble handling the
slippery ball. South lost one fumble.
Hoggard scored its lone touch
down in die first half. In the second
half, the Cougars engineered three
nice drives that ultimately led to
scores. South had two 1 1 -play drives
and one 15-play drive in the second
half.
Playing conditions Saturday night
were far from ideal as it rained most
of the game. Earlier in the day, rain
forced West Brunswick to cancci its
scrimmage with North Myrtle
Beach, S.C.
Trojan Coach Jim Brett and his
assistants, anticipating a Nov. 5
showdown at South Brunswick,
scouted the Cougars Saturday. Many
of West Brunswick's players also at
tended the scrimmage.
"1 think there was more green out
here tonight than blue," Hcwctt said,
referring to the colors of the rival
schools.
The Cougars will take on the New
Hanover Wildcats Friday in the sev
enth annual UCB Jamboree at Leg
ion Stadium. The six-team scrim
mage starts at 7 p.m., and South
Brunswick will take the field first.
Hoggard will play Whitcvillc and
Lancy will play Wallace-Rose Hill
later in the evening. A chccrlcading
competition among the six partici
pating schools will begin at 6 p.m.
Jamboree tickets will cost S4 at
the gate or S3 in advance at United
Carolina Bank branches in South
port, Wilmington and Whitcvillc.

Back-To-Back Scrimmages
North Brunswick Football Coach
Gary Baldwin said he saw some
good things and some not-so-good
things Saturday night when his
Scorpions battled host East Colum
bus in a pre season high school
scrimmage.
"It didn't go bad," Baldwin said
Monday. "I saw some things that 1
liked and 1 saw some things where
we need improvement."
The head coach said the Scorpion
defense looked pretty solid, despite
the absence of four to six potential
starters who missed the scrimmage
because of summer family vacations.
North Brunswick gave up two
touchdowns, Baldwin said, on a re
verse and a pass play. "The bright
spot was we had a lot of guys com
ing up to make good contact," he
said.
"Offensively wc didn't look very
sharp," Baldwin said. "It was rain
ing and the ball was wet and wc
couldn't throw it, plus wc have
some new guys on the line who arc
slill learning the position."
"Not being able to throw the ball
hurt us bccausc we do plan to throw
it," he added. "That limited what we
could do."
North Brunswick is scheduled to
scrimmage at Union High School
Thursday at 6 p.m.
"We're going to do pretty much
the same thing we did Saturday,"
Baldwin said. "1 hope some of those
guys on vacation will be back this
week and I hope it's dry."
North Brunswick opens the regu
lar season Aug. 27 at Topsail.

The West Brunswick football team will probably be a
tired and aching bunch come Friday morning.
The Trojans, who didn't get to play their scheduled
scrimmage against North Myrtle Beach, S.C., had back
to-back road trips planned Wednesday and Thursday
night.
West Brunswick was scheduled to scrimmage at
Mullins, S.C., Wednesday at 6 p.m. and East Duplin
Thursday at 7 p.m. Both schools arc about a two-hour
bus ride away.
"North Myrtle Beach canceling on us really put us in
a bind," Trojan Coach Jim Brett said Tuesday. "But we
feel one scrimmage isn't enough when Conway is going
to play five scrimmages."
West Brunswick will open the regular season next
Friday night at home against the Conway (S.C.) Tigers.
Before then, the Trojans had some serious traveling to
do this week.
West's scrimmage with North Myrtle Beach was
rained out Saturday morning. The game was re-sched
uled for Monday night in Shallotic, but the Chiefs called
Sunday to cancel.
"Their coach told me that their JV coach could not
come to practice on Monday and that they would have
to slay there with the junior varsity," Brett said. "It
sounds to me like they didn't want to come and scrim
mage."
Since North Carolina high schools arc limited to two
prc-season games and most teams already have their
scrimmages slated, Brett had to scramble to come up
with a replacement for the Chiefs.
The coach said he called around until midnight
Sunday to line up the contcst at Mullins, where the
Trojans were expected to play in a three-way scrimmage
with the host Auctioneers and Lake City, S.C.
"1 feel fortunate that we got into that scrimmage at
Mullins," Brett said. "They really bailed us out."
Brett said playing the two scrimmage games arc an
important part of the prc-scason and vital to evaluating
the team.
"We just want to see where we're at and play some
other people," he said. "You have no idea scrimmaging
yourself where you're at. We just hope to find out what
we need to work on for Conway."
At this point in the summer, Brett said he thinks the
Trojans arc better than they were last year.
"I feel like we're ahead of last year, but exactly how
far ahead I'm not sure," he said. "That's what the scrim
mages arc for, to see where we stand."
