The.Winston Salem State Rams ended 18 years
of football frustration at the hands of their neighbors
from Greensboro Saturday night and that could be
bad news for not only the Aggies but for at least ten '
other teams in 1977.
The convincing romp over the Aggies has the Ram
fans in a fit of frenzy over the remainder of the
season but- one major question still is left to be
x answered. Are.the Rams as good as they looked or
are the Aggies as bad as they looked? At least part o1
that question will be answered this Saturday when
the Rams invade Hampton to take on the CIAA
pre-season favorite Pirates.
The Pirates once the doormat of the league have

5-5 record in 75 and recorded a sparkling 7-4 record
last season including a 27-22 squeeker over the Rams
in Bill Hayes coaching debate. The Pirates lost only
three starters^ from the 1976 squad and 50 lettermen

explosive offense that revolves around the passing of
All American candidate Russ Seaton at quarterback.
The 6-1 190 senior threw' for 20 touchdowns last
season and passed for 1,292 yards, both school
records. The Detroit, Mich, native will have his two
top receivers back in Reggie Midget and eddy Pratt.
The dynamic duo caught 36 passes for 653 yards and
8 touchdowns between them last season. The
running attack will be lead by junior Lewey Hale whe
led the team in rushing last year with 638 yards
dispite missing the Ram game. Hale also scored nine
TD's. The Pirates offensive line is fast and big. Led
by All-American candidate Nat Wickham at center,
the Pirates line includes Edward Rogers (6-1, 240).,
Stanley Prater (6-4, 250), Frank 6iles (6-3, 263),, and
Steve Whitfield (6-0, 240).
The Pirate defense will be anchored by All-CIAA
defensive end Reggie Doss (6-4, 265), Victor South
(6-1, 265), and Ernie White (6-7, 285). The
secondary is led by NAIA District All-American
Leroy Graham.
