DWIGHT FLANAGAN
THE CHOWAN jBIID, EDENTON, NOSTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBEB 26, IMS
Mrs. Pat Flanagan, Coun
try Club Drive.
Following is a recently
published story about the
former star of Edenton
Aces:
If you saw Dwight Flan
agan walking down the
street the last thing you
would take him to be is
a football player.
He’s got a face yon might
find on that of a choir boy
and the build of somebody
who looks to be a candi
date for a Charles Atlas.
course.
But put him in football
togs and turn him loose in
a defensive backfield, and
the biggest change since
Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde
takes place. For some
body who stands 9-10 and
with all four pockets filled
with rocks weighs about
165 pounds, he can promote
more damage than a fire
man wielding a frantic
axe.
Except for size, he has
all the qualities you want
in a football player. He
is fast, and he has a quick
ness that seems to get him
to the right place at the
right time. And although
’ he plays defense, he’s a
good ballcarrier and dis
plays his talents as a re
turner of kicks.
“He’s one of our out
standing backs,’’ Coach Cla
rence Stasavich says. “He’s
gained a lot of poise, and
we’re fortunate we are able
to use him at a vital de
fensive position.”
Despite the fact he has
steadily improved since he
joined the Pirates, Flana
gan is never satisfied with
himself. He started several
games last year, and haul
ed back 24 kicks for a to
tal of 380 yards.
“Overall I guess I’m do
ing a lot better,” he says
“but I could do better. I
know I’m quicker than 1
was last year. I don’t use
as many wasted steps.
And I’m surer of myself.
“I’m stronger too. I used
the weights in the summer,
but I didn’t gain any. I’m
just stronger. I feel like
it, particularly in my
arms.”
When it comes to talking
about himself, you have to
gouge him a little, but
when he talks about the
team, his reaction is freef.
“We’re going to be
tough,” he says. Fella
(Rhodes) is gonna do the
job at tailback; and on de
fense, we’re supposed to be
tough. All of us want to
go to that bowl game so
bad we can taste it.
“I’d really like to see us
go undefeated, but all I’ve
heard people talk about is
that bowl game.”
The spirit and the ag
gressiveness of the team
has been impressive, too.
“It’s the best I’ve ever been
associated with,” Flanagan
says. “I think we have
good leadership in our
captains (Ben Grieb and
Wayne Lineberry) and ev
erybody’s working hard.”
Flanagan, a junior from
Edenton, is starting defen
sive left halfback.
