Aycock. BY DOUG RUTTER West Brunswick's Trojans were not a model of consistency Saturday night but stili managed to come away with a 24-12 victory in a high school football scrimmagc at C.B. Aycock. James Morgan rushed for two touchdowns and Timothy "Salt" Daniels and Eric Johnson also scored as the Trojans overcame a shaky start at Hardy Talton Stadium north of Goldsboro. "Overall 1 don't think we could be anything but pleased," West Brunswick Coach Yogi Hickman said after his team scored three touchdowns while holding the Golden Falcons scoreless in the sec ond half. "We've got a chance to be pretty doggone good somewhere down the line. We're not yet," Hickman said Monday. "If we could be a little more consistent, but that comes with repetitions." Hickman, in his first year as West Brunswick's head coach, said he wasn't surprised by the inconsistent play on offense. West's players only had two weeks to digest Hickman's system. "The consistency was poor but you kind of expect that. Execution was spotty, but again that's to be ex pected with the new system," Hickman said. "The mistakes that were apparent were not mistakes that can't be fixed." West Brunswick got solid play from many of the kids who helped lead the Trojans to back-to-back state championships in 1992 and 1993. "The ones you would expect to do a good job did a good job," Hickman said. "All those people who have the game experience did exactly like you'd expect them to do ? get out there and perform."

"Our starting fullback from a year ago has graduated, so he'U get to carry the ball a lot more and make a lot of big plays like he did at West Brunswick," said ASU running backs coach Tim Horton. Whether Lance starts or not, Horton said the 1992 West Bruns wick graduate is sure to see a lot of action this fall in the Mountaineers' backfield. "I think he'll have an excellent opportunity to start, and if he doesn't start he'U share time for sure. He'U play a lot of football," Horton said. "He'U see a lot more action this year than last year." Lance, a compact 5-foot-7-inch, 180-pounder, played in aU 11 of the Mountaineers' games last season APPALACHIAN STATE FOOTBALL SCHEDULED DATE OPPONENT Sept. 10 .at Wake Forest Sept. 17 North Car.

"You want someone at fullback who can block. He's not real tall but that allows him to get low and cut people at the knee pads," Horton said. "When you throw in his run ning ability, he's just a good player." Horton said he is impressed with Lance the person as much or more than Lance the football player. The coach describes Lance as a hard worker on the football field and in the classroom. "I don't know what kind of repu tation he has back home, but he's a great young man," Horton said.

His mama did a good job rais ing him." A criminal justice major, Lance was not eligible to play football as a freshman because of academics.
