SPORTING SfFNF V/accamaw Warfare At The OK Corral This is the kind of football game you usually see near the end of the season, not the beginning. Nevertheless, West Brunswick and South Columbus will go toe-to-toe Friday night as the Waccamaw Conference high school football season kicks off. The Trojans and Stallions are among the favorites to challenge for the Waccamaw Conference champi onship this year, so the game is an important one for both teams. Each squad enters Friday night's clash at the OK Corral with a record of 3-1, but the similarities stop there. West Brunswick relies on team speed, while South Columbus depends on size and strength. It'll be interesting to sec which team wears out first. The Stallions will try to pound the life out of the Trojans, while the Trojans try to run the Stallions ragged. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will likely win. If South Columbus has one thing going for it Friday night, it will be the absence of Steve Holmes. The former Trojan running back was not only a major contributor on West Brunswick's state championship teams in 1992 and 1993, he ab solutely killed the Stallions. In two games against South Columbus, including a state playoff game in 1992 and last year's regular-season tilt. Holmes rushed for 397 yards and scored tight touchdowns. Dogs At Mustangs While the Trojans and Stallions face off in the Waccamaw Conference opener, there's an equally important game on tap Friday night in the Three Rivers Conference. South Robeson, which outscored its first three opponents 110-0, will host defending league champion St. Pauls. 1 know it's only the first league game, but this one could decide the conference title. St. Pauls, under head coach Dwight Harrell since the departure of Yogi Hickman, has beaten some strong non-conference opponents in Fayetteville Cape Fear, James Kenan and South Columbus. South Robeson, on the other hand, has yet to be tested. Coach Mike Brill's Mustangs have beaten Hobbton. East Columbus and Parkwood. It will be interesting to sec what effect the relatively easy early sched ule ? not to mention a two-week layoff ? will have on South Robeson The Mustangs are the sccond-ranked 1 A team in the state. Raleigh Bound If my Subaru holds up. I'm going to Raleigh Saturday night to check out the undefeated N.C. State University football team A pair of former West Brunswick gridiron stars will be involved when the Wolf pack takes on Western Carolina. Phillip "Fumblerooski" Johnson is a freshman defensive lineman at Western Carolina. The 2-1 Catamounts are considered one of the top 20 Division 1 A A trams in the nation Jimmy Grissett. a sophomore flanker at N.C. State, has made four pass receptions for 17 yards in the Wolfpack's first two gamer. State has knocked off Bowling Green and Clcmson. I'm also trying to pull off an Oct. 8 trip to Columbia for the South Carolina-East Carolina game It's hard work, but somebody has to do it.

Mike Edge added a 6-yard touchdown run lat er in the third quarter, and Southerland scam pered \2 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring. "We played well. We could have played bet ter, but I'll take 21-0 any day," Bishop said. "I think we had more kids contributing. In the past, it's been one or two kids doing everything. It was more of a team game." North Brunswick's offense sputtered in the first two quarters, but it started producing in the third quarter after coavnes made adjustments in the blocking schemes at halftime. Mosley scored after catching a short pass, breaking a couple tackles and avoiding several other defenders on his way to the end zone. Mosley also had two interceptions on defense. Brew completed 4 of 10 pass attempts for 94 yards. With his performance Friday, Southerland in creased his season totals to 49 carries for 367 yards.

The Scorpions open Three Rivers Conference play this Friday with a home game against Fairmont. The Golden Tornadoes (0-3) are coming off a 36-0 loss to Whitcville. Fairmont also has suf fered losses to West Columbus (37-6) and East Columbus (20-0). Despite the 0-3 record. Bishop said North Brunswick will have to play well to have a chance of winning. "I've watched them on tape, and they're not a bad ball club. They've given up some big plays They're big, and they've got a good quarterback who we'll have to contain," Bishop said. "We'll have to play well. They're probably the best team we've played so far even though they're 0-3," Bishop said.
