SPORTING SCENE Football Season Returns Not A Moment Too Soon It will probably be a blistering 91 than a health club sauna.There will probably be thousands of mosquitoes swarming the sidelines, buzzing around ears and biting ankles without mercy. Bring on the heat. Bring on the bugs. It won't matter as long as high school football is played Friday night in Shallotte. West Brunswick's Trojans, last year's state 2A football champions, make their long-awaited return to the | provide the opposition. I've been looking forward to this season opener since last December ? Dec. 1 2 to be exact. That was the day West Brunswick defeated the Maiden Blue Devils 14-6 to capture the school's first state football title. It's hard to believe eight months has passed since that incredible day in Chapel Hill. Looking back, it was West's total team effort that decided the game. The offense took advantage of its two scoring opportunities while the de fense stuffed the state's all-time leading high school rusher, Antoinc Ikard. I'll never forget sprinting onto the Kenan Stadium turf with the players and coaches as the final seconds ran off the clock. I was there to snap photos and take notes, as tempting as it was to simply join in the celebration. Sports writers are supposed to be impartial observers. But when you watch a group of kids develop into a tight team and drive hundreds of miles to watch them play every week, you can't help but feel like one of the gang. The last two years have been incredible for Trojan fans. West has been on the winning side in 24 of its last 29 games, claiming two straight Eastern North Carolina championships in the process. The 1991 and 1992 football teams were excellent, and this year's edi tion is nothing to sneeze at either. This squad has all the potential of the last two teams. Whether the 1993 Trojans reach their potential remains to be seen. The journey starts Friday night at 7:30. And if M.H. Rourk Stadium isn't rocking when the Trojans take the field, something is dreadfully wrong. West Brunswick's veteran players take a lot of pride in what they have accomplished the last two years. These kids have worked extremely hard to earn the respect they have gained across the state. The community needs to start filling the bleachers and supporting a group of young men who have garnered more positive publicity for the South Brunswick Islands than anything else this decade. As for me, the lucky underwear that saw the sights in cities like Rowland, Clinton, Farmville and Chapel Hill last year is washed and safely tucked away in the dresser drawer. It's tattered, but ready for whatever lies ahead. Rec Department Announces Fall, Winter Classes, Activities degrees at kickoff and more humid ;ridiron Friday.

"For our program it's real impor tant to get a win," Cougar Coach Bill Hewett said Tuesday. "Our kids are still trying to lcam how to win." Hewett will rely heavily on a de fense that features 11 players who have started at least one game for South Brunswick. The lcss-cxpcri enccd offense will open the season running the triple option. "We've just got to play some football," Hewett said of the St. Pauls game. "Wc feel like we're ca pable of beating them if wc play the type of football we're capable of playing." Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. at Jack Campbell Stadium. "I feel like we've got some guys who can play some football," Hew ett said. "I just don't know if we're ready to play football. Right now things aren't falling into place for us." South Brunswick's last playoff appearance came in 1990 when the Cougars Finished 6-5. South Bruns wick has been 5-5 each of the last two seasons. The Cougars haven't won a sea son opener since a 35-6 blowout of Hallsboro in 1990. This will be the second straight year that South opens the season against St. Pauls. The Bulldogs beat the Cougars 25-7 in last year's open er en route to a 13-1 season and trip to the Eastern North Carolina 2A fi nals. St. Pauls, a 2A school, won the Southern 1A/2A Conference cham pionship last year. The Bulldogs are expected to contend for the league title in the new Three Rivers 1A/2A Conference this season. Coach Richard "Yogi" Hickman has 12 lettermen back from last year's squad, including three offen sive starters and four on defense. One of the Bulldog starters is Tony Robinson, a 6-2, 235-pound running back and linebacker who Hewett says is one of the top high school prospects in the state. 1993 SOUTH BRUNSWICK FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Date Opponent Aug. 27 St. Pauls Sept. 3 at East Duplin Sept. 10 Lejcune Sept. 17 Laney Sept. 24 at Clinton Oct. 1 West Columbus Oct. 8 at East Columbus Oct. 15 Whiteville Oct. 22 at Pender Oct. 29 at South Columbus Nov. 5 West Brunswick IN COED LEAGUE Jennies Branch Wins Tourney Jennies Branch, seeded 10th out of 12 teams, captured the Brunswick Baptist Assoc.

The Trojans got three goals from Gabc Cooper and two from Chris Payne in their 6-0 win at Flora McDon ald Academy. In Southport, South Brunswick's Jamie May scored the only goal in the Cougars' 1-0 win over the visiting Topsail Pirates. "We started a little bit sluggish but came on pretty strong," West Coach Teak Hemphill said of the win. Jeremie Varnam also scored one goal as the Trojans posted their first win over a team from outside Brunswick County. West led 2-0 at halftime. "We weren't passing the ball real well in the first half. The openings were there, but we weren't getting it done," Hemphill said. "Once we started getting aggres sive we did real well." Hemphill said the West Brunswick defense played well. Jay McRoberts posted the shutout in his first start in goal. "1 was pleasantly surprised," Hemphill added. "This was a little confidence builder. Maybe they'll have a lit tle more spark in them now." Soccer Openers Hemphill said he is still looking for a few more players to join the team. He hopes to recruit some after school starts next Monday. In the South Brunswick game, Jamie Bruner assisted on May's goal, which broke a scoreless tie in the second half. Coach Greg Bland said he was pleased with the effort of the Cougars, who won just one game all of last season. "I just think they wanted it yesterday," Bland said Tuesday. "It gives us a good starting point to build on." Bland also said he hopes to fill out his roster after school starts. "We looked pretty good yesterday, but we still have a lot of work to do." Cougar goalkeeper John Bunting recorded 17 saves against Topsail. "He really worked hard for us back there," Bland said. "He's like a vacuum in goal for us." West Brunswick is scheduled to host North Bruns wick Thursday at 4:30 p.m. at Shallotte Middle School. South Brunswick entertains Flora McDonald Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Smithville Park. On Monday, Topsail visits West Brunswick and South travels to North. Dixon's Bulldogs visit the Tro jans next Wednesday, while South 's Cougars will play at Topsail.
