Southwestern 4~A Conference Foothall Teams Get Into Full Sul,,,,
Post Sports Writer
The Southwestern 4A
Conference season gets into full
swing this week In most
conferences around the state,
teams get to play at least two or ’
three non-conference ames
before they start fighting lor the
playoff spots. But because of
the size of the 10 team io.al
league, 9 conference games are
on schedule.
All of the teams except West
and Harding had non
conference openers last week.
All of the games are going to
be big ones now as they begin to
chase the two pos tions
available to the conference
winner and runnerup. Overall
tnient teems to be better this
year. The weaker teams have
gotten stronger and it may be a
while before a team comes
along like East Mecklenburg
which can dominate the league.
The big names, this week have
Olympic at East Mecklenburg.
Garinger at Harding. West
Mecklenburg at Independence.
West Charlotte at Myers Park
and South Mecklenburg which
will be played at North
Mecklenburg.
The Olympic Trojans could
be the sleeper of the conference.
In their recent win over
Catholic, it bacame apparent
that the team could pass with
capable receivers in James
Sanders and Mark Anderson. If
that fails. Scott Braswell has the
option of pitching out to a swift
little tailback named Ty Wright
or Jeff Hall and Mike Cureton
The Trojans also have a
capable defensive backfield
featuring Derek Martin and
Chuck Barnette who is also the
backup quarterback.
On the otherhand, the Eagles
are at home where they never
loose. A good win over
Richmond County should give
battle the outclassed Trojans
took cocky East to the limit
before losing 14-8.
The Eagles have David
Emery at quarterback, a good
running back in Van Smith,
exceptional size and strength
and a good defense.
This should be one of several
exciting conference games.
The Garingcr-Harding affair
should pit the Rams passing
and running attack against the
Garingcr ground game
The Wildcats need a more
capable quarterback to be
competitive in this league. They
are no threat to pass and the
Rams have shown that they can
stop the running game
If Mike Rodriquez gets loose
the wildcats could growl. The
tremendously muscular
athelete could be a good one
The Rams counter with Chris
Hill bulldozing the ball down
the middle with Johnny Love.
Glenn carrying much of the
load, but the team as a whole
gets off the ball well.
The Patriots have placed a
large load of their offensive
attack on sophomore Milton
Wofford. Wofford is a good
one and reminds one of the way
Curtis Wilson broke into the
starting lineup as a sophomore
at Mye.-s Park.
The Patriots leave a lot to be
desired on offense and defense
and will have problems
containing the Indians.
The West Charlolte-Myers
Park rivalry is one of the biggest
in the county. In this early
game, several of the
conference’s topjsffensive starts
will be featured
For the Mustangs, Curtis
Wilson and Darrlyl Byrd at
halfback are virtually
unstoppable. Jay Cave is a
capable quarterback.
On the other hand, the
defensive secondary needs
improvwwmUmi the offensive
line needs to mature
West Charlotte has not had
time to develop a line, but the
lions feature Henderson
Threatt and Ronnie McGriff in
the backfteld at Don Davis at
quarterback
The defensive secondary is
one of the best in the city so the
.Mustangs should be leary to
pass.
Napleon While and Sammv
Moore arc the standouts back
there
In another big game North
Mecklenburg fresh from a
rugged game with the mountain
visitors from Pisgah in Canton,
regroup and aim forces at
South, a winner over North
Gaston in their opener
With Dexter Maxwell and
Reggie Bonaparte in the
backfield the Sabres featuring
quarterback Scott Price have
an offensive punch as good as
ar .body in the league The
t"Jrtns~Tjig .ind strong
North Slecklenburg will
counter witn Scotty Williams at
halfback and Chris Cook at
tailback. Tony Phife- at flanker
is a threat also
On defense there are
Sampson McCorkclc and
Glenn Woodlev anchoring the
line
The Vikings are rated as one
of the top teams in the league in
this campaign which promises
to be one of the most
competitive ever

Indians have found a capable
quarterback in Donnie
Thompson and one of the
county's best recievers in Kelvin
Hopkins. Hopkins has handsof
glue and anything thrown in his
vicinity will be caught. The
Indians running game shows
some needed improvement with

The C'arolinas paced the
southeast and led most of the
nation with a 21 percent
increase in auto travel during
the first six months of 1978
T. Ed Pickard, (’resident of
the 17H.000-mctnber auto club,
■which—covers—ho:n of the

routings for members in our
two state area were well ahead
of the southeastern region as a
whole." Elc added. "The region
was up an average of only 5 3
percent for the first half. Only
Tennessee and Alabama, with
gains of IS? percent and 17
percent came anywhere near
our two stales "
For the first six months of
this year, auto travel was up Y2
percent over the entire United
States compared with the first
half of 1977
I he two Carolinas trailed
