Johnson Throws 3 TDs As Trojans Skin Gators BY DOUG R I '"ITER West Brunswick and East Colum bus had barely played 16 minutes Friday night when East ball boy John King looked up at the score board and sighed. "I got a feeling we're gonna get beat." Little John's team trailed 28-0 at that point and never got closer as powerful West Brunswick rolled to a 41-12 Waccamaw Conference high school football victory in Shallotte. West junior quarterback Eric Johnson had his most productive game of the season, passing for three touchdowns to complement a potent running attack that gained 304 yards on the overmatched Gators. Senior halfback Steve Holmes led the Trojan ground game with 122 yards on 1 1 carries. Tight end Tim my "Salt" Daniels caught two of Johnson's three TD passes. West's biggest home crowd of the season saw the Trojans clinch a spot in the state 3A playoffs and their seventh straight winning season and cheered as Sally Schutte was crowned homecoming queen at half time. West Brunswick improved to 4-0 in the Waccamaw 2 A/3 A Confe rence and 6-2 overall. East Colum bus. which committed four turn overs, fell to 0-3 in the league and 1 6 overall. "W?- played a good first half. I thought we lost some intensity in the second half," West Brunswick Head Coach Jim Brett said following his team's sixth straight win. The Trojans scored on their first four possessions to build a 28-0 halftime load. Coach Dean Saffos' Gators played the Trojans even in the second half, when each team scored twice. "If we can ever put a whole game together I think we'll be a much bet ter football team," Brett said. "We haven't put it together on both sides of the ball for a whole game this year."
