Ram Football
By Shelton Bullard
When members of the Ram football team
were asked how they felt about the Ram and
Aggie game, their response is varied. They
did agree on one thing, the game would have
a different outcome from last year,
James Johnson a senior RB from
Charlotte, N.C. said “I feel confident,
because we have a good team." “If we can
keep everyone healthy we will have a winn
ing season.” Johnson said that the team
would have to rely on the starters and the
upperclassmen and use the freshmen for
depth. Johnson added, “what happened last
year with A & T should not have happened
and that the outcome will be different.”
F'reshman team member Dewayne
Johnson DB from Tucson, Arizona. “I am
enjoying playing with the Rams. D. Johnson
also stated that he is learning a lot playing
with the team and that he is really looking
forward to this season because he feels that
il will t)c a winning one.”
Before you choose a long distance |
service, take a close look.
You may be thinking about
choosing one of the newer
carriers over AT&T in order to
save money.
Think again.
Since January 1987, AT&T’s
rates have dropped more than
15% for direct-dialed out-of-
state calls. So they’re lower than
you probably realize. For infor
mation on specific rates, you
can call us at 1 800 222-0300.
And AT&T offers clear long
distance connections, operator
assistance, 24-hour customer
service, and immediate credit
for wrong numbers. Plus, you
can use AT&T to call from
anywhere to any’where,all over
the United States and to over
250 countries.
You might be surprised at
how good a value AT&T really
is. So before you choose a
long distance company, pick
up the phone.
ATgT
The right choice.
Donald Franks a junior DB from Tarboro,
N.C. stated that “We must take one game
(Bowie) at a time. Franks feels that the
Rams has a very good defense and offense,
“I think we wil come out on top,” he replied.
Anthony Blaylock senior DB from
Raleigh, N.C. said that the Rams moved the
ball good in the scrimmage game against
Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C.
Baylock stated, “the team should concen
trate on Bowie first. He also feels very con
fident about the freshmen players whom
Blaylock said could step up at anytime and
play.
When Coach Bill Hayes was asked about
the A & T game he simply replied
“non-conference.” Do not be mistaken
Coach Hayes does want to win the Ram/Ag
gie game, he added that we must worry
about our conference games with Fayet
teville and Central.
Hayes stated that A & T is a good ball
squad and he wants to give them a good
game. Hayes went on to say that he only
recruited 16 freshman players and that six
or seven of them could contribute this year.
Hayes said that the Rams have lost 14
players from the team and at the moment
there are 74 players including the freshman
players. He also staled that the team as a
whole looks good.
We will be very competitive if the team
stays healthy." said Hayes.
