FRIDAY West Brunswick To Host NIGHT PREVIEW Powerful Purnell Sweff Roms BY DOUG R UTTER One down. Four to go. West Brunswick High School sur vived its battle with the Conway Tigers, the first of the five 4A schools on the I rojans' non-confer ence football schedule this fall. Up next are the Purncll Swett Rams, a powerful team from one of North Carolina's toughest and most balanced conferences. Following last week's 25-21 loss to visiting Conway, West Brunswick will be looking for its first win of the season when the Rams visit M.H. Rourk Stadium in Shallotte Friday at 7:30 p.m. "They're another one of those big 4A schools we're trying to compete against," West Brunswick Coach Jim Brett said Monday. "They're a very good football team. I think they may be better than the team we played last week." Brett described the Rams as a physical team with good size and speed. "They're aggressive. They re ally come at you. They're very well coached and disciplined." History will be made Friday as the Trojans and Rams have never before met on the gridiron. Purnell Swett will enter the game with a 1-0 record after its 14-6 win over Fayetteville Westovcr in the season opener. Brett said he thinks the Trojans have a chance to pick up their first win of the young season this week. "We'll have to be very sharp and play very well to have a chance. I think we'll he ready," he said. "We had a very hard, difficult practice to day. I feel like we got a lot accom plished. I feel like we're very hun gry for a win." Senior halfback Steve Holmes is expected to play Friday night. Holmes, who rushed for more than 1.5(H) yards last year while scoring 26 touchdowns, played just one down last week due to an injured an kle. Brett said he doesn't plan to change the basic game plan from last week, but will make some personnel changes in the defense Friday night "We're not going to make any major changes," he said. "We're just trying to improve what we are do ing." Last Friday, the Trojans had their six-game winning streak snapped as well as a state-best string of 14 con secutive games in which they held opponents to less than 20 points. Purnell Swett, located in western Robeson County, is a member of the Southeastern 4A Conference, which is considered one of the most bal anced and strongest conferences in the state. The league includes powers such as Anson County and Richmond County, which won three consecu tivc state championships starting in 1W8. "I think it may be one of the toughest 4A conferences in the state," Brett said. Last year. Purnell Swett was 6-1 in conference play and 9-2 overall. Raleigh Millbrook's Wildcats de feated the Rams, 1 0-7, in the first round of the state playoffs. Rams' Coach Mark Heil has 16 lettermen back from last year's club. including live offensive starters ;.nd four on defense. Top players include senior line man Aaron Godwin (6-1, 2(>5), full back/linebacker Harold Godwin (5 10, 2 IX) and split end/defensive back Derrick Vaught ((>-(>, 19X). After I'urnell Swett, the Trojans will play three more non-conference games against Hoggard. George town and Lumberton. All three are 4A schools and have more students than West Brunswick. Brett said playing the big schools will make West a better team when it gets into the Waccamaw 2A/3A Conference schedule later this month. "To me that's what's most impor tant this time of year." Brett said.
