graduates saw action this season on
the college level, including Aldwin
I a nee at Appalachian State Uni
versity.
A junior fullback. Lance helped
lead the Mountaineers to a 9-4 sea
son End into the second round of the
NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs.
ASU ended the year with a 17-14
loss at Boise State.
The 5-foot-7, 175-pound Lance
had his best year as a collegian in
1994, rushing 55 times for 354 yards
and five touchdowns.
Lance was a teammate of Grissett
and Russ on the 1991 Trojan football
team and was a two-time county
player of the year at West Brunswick.
A starting linebacker and tight
end on the Trojans' state 2A cham
pionship team of 1992, Shawn
Stevenson played defensive end in
all 10 games this season at Division
II Elon College.
The red-shirt freshman finished
with 45 tacklcs. including 19 solo
stops, four tacklcs behind the line of
scrimmage and one sack.
Elon finished 5-5. but its final
record could have been much better
Four times the Fightin' Christians
lost leads in the fourth quarter
The unofficial rule in college
football is that true freshmen don't
get playing time outside of special
teams.
The rule was bent for one of the
stalwart linemen from West Bruns
wick's back-to-back state champi
onship teams in 1992 and 1993.
Phillip Johnson saw action at de
fensive tackle in 10 games as a
freshman at Western Carolina
University. The Catamounts finished
6-5.
Johnson averaged 7 snaps per
game and finished the season with
three solo tackles, three assists and
three quarterback pressures.
The 6-2, 27()-poundcr has a
chance to move into the starling
lineup next season. Western Caro
lina will need to replace three of this
year's starters on the defensive
front.
Steve Brooks, the other mammoth
tackle on West's back -to-back state
championship teams, was red-shirt
cd this fall as a freshman at North
Carolina A&T University.
Brooks is expected to play next
season at offensive guard, said
North Carolina A&T offensive line
coach Joe Godette.
"As with any freshman it takes
time to learn the system." Godette
said. "He's going to be a fine foot
ball player for us. He's definitely in
our plans for next year "
