SPORTING SCENE Stallions Unwise To ' Dis ' Trojans West Brunswick's back-to-back state high school football champi onships weren't enough to intimidate South Columbus when the conference rivals met Friday night at Tabor City. West Brunswick's history against South Columbus, which included a 45-0 whipping last season and 47-0 playoff win in 1992, didn't put a scare in the Stallions either. Perhaps the Stallions shouldn't have been intimidated by the Trojans. A football team that's afraid to play another team has little or no chance of winning. But perhaps the Stallions should have shown their visitors some respect. When the Trojans walked all over the Stallions en route to a 34-6 victory, the South Columbus players proba bly wished they had done just that. Before the game, the Stallions purposely walked through the area where West Brunswick's players were stretching. The Trojans took note. "They were sort of talking trash before the game started," West Brunswick quarterback Eric Johnson said after running for 172 yards and three TDs. "They walked right through our stretching drill and showed us no respect." If there's anything we've learned about West Brunswick's football team over the last few years, it's that these kids will do anything in their power to earn respect for their football program and their school. West Brunswick head coach Yogi Hickman said his team was already fired up before the game. This incident only fanned the fire. "I think the kids got a little perturbed at that," Hickman said. "They were a little bit ticked." Coach Hickman tried to play down the importance of the South Columbus game, but there's no denying that West Brunswick is in good shape after Friday night's win. Still, it won't be easy to go through the Waccamaw Conference un scathed. The Trojans' next big test will come Oct. 7 at home against the Whiteville Wolfpack. After three straight road games, it would be nice to see a large crowd at Rourk Stadium for that grudge match. Whiteville will certainly fill its side of the stadium. Rookies Making Impact West Brunswick freshmen Ahmed Green and Aqui Bryant are well on their way to fine football careers in Trojan green. With senior Brian Gore recovering from a broken wrist, Green and Bry ant have been starting in the defensive secondary the last couple of weeks. Green intercepted two passes last Friday at South Columbus, and he leads the Trojans with three picks for the season. By the way, the state record for career interceptions is 30. Coach Hickman says he likes the way Bryant throws his body around on defense. You don't find too many ninth-graders willing or able to hit on the varsity level. Who's Number One? College football's national championship debate is starting to heat up, and it's only the end of September. At this point in the season, nobody is out of the race. But several un beaten teams have established themselves as early favorites. My heart says Penn State, but my head says otherwise. I think Florida is the best team in the nation, but Nebraska is strong and Florida State could repeat as champions. After pounding Wisconsin and then beating Michigan on a "Hail Mary" na? I weekend Colorado could be a team of destiny. I think the Buffs are the most exciting team in the country. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed Washington's victory over Miami last Saturday in the Orange Bow! The Miami Hurricanes are the Dallas Cow boys of college football. Doug Rutter Sports Editor JOHN A.
