Eastern Randolph
FRIDAY NIGHT PREVIEW
Up Next For Feisty
West Brunswick Trojans
BY DOUG RUITER
Eastern Randolph pays its first
visit tn Shallotte Friday night to take
i>n the West Brunswick Trojans in
the second round of the state 3A
high school football playoffs.
The game features two squads
that rolled to easy victories in first
round action iast week. West Bruns
wick (X-3) crushed Northeast
Guilford 48-16. and Eastern Rand
olph (l)-2) blanked Fuquav-Varina
63-0.
" This is a much, much better foot
ball team than we played last week,"
West Brunswick Coach Jim Brett
said Monday, comparing Guilford's
Rams and Randolph's Wildcats.
"They took on a l)-l team last
week and won easily." the coach
added. "That tells me they're pretty
good"
The Wildcats, who finished sec
ond in the Mid-Piedmont Con
ference this season with a 4-1 record,
benefited from good breaks in their
playoff opener at Fuquay-Varina.
"Everything went their way from
what I saw on film." Brett said.
"They had several interceptions and
ran a couple of them hack for touch
downs. I: was ju>t oiic of those
nights."
West Brunswick, meanwhile,
grinded out its 32-point win over
Northeast Guilford. The Trojans
rushed for 447 yards and got a sea
son-high 21.S yards from senior hall
hack Steve Holmes.
Fastern Randolph scored 23M
points during the regular season and
gave up 137. West Brunswick, co
champions of the Waccamaw
Conference and defending state 2A
champions, scored 3(H) and yielded
135.
The Wildcats, owners of a four
game winning streak, run a wish
hone offense. "They run a lot of op
tion and a lot of dives and quick
pitches. They give it to the fullback
on some traps." Brett said.
The Trojan offense will try to do
against Eastern Randolph exactly
what it did last week ? run the foot
hall. West has rushed for 3,426
yards this season and passed for 5N2
yards.
"This is a much, much better football team
than we played last week. They took on a 9-1
team last week and won easily. That tells me
they're pretty good. " ? Trojan Coach Jim Brett
"We're nut going to change a
thing except try to spread people out
a little more on defense." Brett ex
plained. "We used it last week and
had some success w ith it."
The Trojans, who usually play
with three running backs and no
wide receivers, unveiled a new
"spread offense" for one series last
week and scored on a 22-yard
touchdown pass from Eric Johnson
to Steve Holmes.
The new formation, which fea
tures one back and two wide re
ceivers. helps create running room
inside while allowing the Trojans to
use Johnson's running and passing
ability.
The junior quarterback has rushed
2X times this season for 200 yards
(7.1 yards per carry) and completed
30 of Mi pass attempts for 54(1 yards
and nine touchdowns.
West Brunswick may have to face
the Wildcats without two key start
ers. Senior lineman Phillip Johnson
sprained his elbow in last week's
game, and sophomore linebacker
Kwabena Green suffered a deep
thigh bruise.
"We're not sure if they're going
to be able to play or not." Brett said
Monday. "If we can gel these kids
healthy I think we can play with this
crowd. If not. it looks like we could
be in trouble."
Eastern Randolph, coached by
Burton Gates, is led by all-state can
didate Keke Spinks. a 6-2. 190
pound, senior running back and line
backer. Other top starters include
linebacker Rickey King, lineman
Jetf Sorrell and receiver Sieve
Wright.
