Prep Chatter With James Cuthbertson Scheduling is an arduous task for most of the high schools and colleges in North Carolina. But for the 10 members of the Southwestern 4A Conference, it can be accomplished with relative ease. You see, the schools have to play nine conference games. That leaves one game with non-conference competition. In the past it has been argued that this leaves little room to test the league’s talents against other powers from across the state. Actual fact has proven this theory to be false. In the last two years, the league has had one state 4A football champion (East) and one runnerup (West Charlotte). The 1979 season begins on August 30 with Olympic at Charlotte Catholic. Last year Olym pic beat Catholic 14-0. Four other teams open on Friday, August 31. Rock Hill is at Memorial Stadium to play Garinger, Asheville C.D. Owen is at West Stadium to play Harding, Pinecrest is at West Charlotte and West Mecklenburg is at North Forsyth in Winston-Salem. un rnaay, September 7 East Mecklenburg will get a good indication of its relative strength as the Eagles fly South to Richmond County, a team they beat last year 3-0. Richmond County is the defending state 4A champion. Other games pit Independence at Central Cabarrus, Myers Park at Morgan ton Freedom, Lexington at North Mecklenburg, Glenn Woodley and South Mecklenburg ai Dillon, S. C.

Other games that Friday pit Harding at East Mecklenburg, Garinger at Independence, West Mecklenburg at Myers Park, and South Meck lenburg vs: Olympic in Memorial Stadium. On Thursday, September 20 the Independence Patriots featuring hard throwing Eric Boyd will visit the Harding Rams in what should be a great game at West Meek Stadium.

On Friday, September 21 East is at South in Myers Park Stadium, Myers Park is at Garinger in Memorial Stadium, North is at West Mecklen burg and Olympic is at West Charlotte.

Other players for the Cou gars were Jerry Lattimore, Joe Combs, Bernard Pickett, Robert Abbott and Melvin Wallace. “It was a rough season," said head coach James Hol land. “We lost several players in the middle of the season and were down by 13 in the semi finals before we came back to win. Malcolm Sanders contri buted greatly to our program. Gene Dunn and Darryl White helped to carry us also.” “The league was a good idea," said Holland. “I wish they had had something like this when I was in high school at Garinger." Holland is a sophomore at the University of South Caro lina at Spartanburg. “It will show this fall when they start to playing for keeps," he added. How did he get involved in coaching in the league? “Coach Kistler asked if I would be interested,” he said. “I said yes. My brother Brad had had pvnortjs® jn coaching before. With my knowledge and his experience, we began to mold a competitive team.” “Going into the season, I felt that we had the best players for the tournament,’’ said Brad Holland. “James had picked the players and with my coaching ability, I felt we could develop each and every player. It was a lot of fun.” East’s Clyde Davis, East’s Warren Wallace, Garinger's Frank Johnson, Garinger's Odell Walker, East’s Trent Westmoreland, Indepen dence’s Eric Boyd were named to the All-Star Team. Darryl White was the most valuable player for the season. Gene Dunn was the most valuable player for the tournament.

Coach Eddie McArver: “We Wffl Have Good Nucleus” By James Cuinoertsoa Post Staff Writer “I think we have a good nucleus to start with," said West Mecklenburg head foot ball coach Eddie McArver after surveying the 80 plus athletes that turned up at bis practice field in last week’s opening session. “We have people returning who can help us,” he added. "They have playing exper ience and should be better this year.” Players returning for the Indians include running back Mike McDowell, defensive tackle Scott Kendrick, defen sive tackle Jerry Parker, line man Mark Thompson, offen sive guard Curtis Thompson, split ends Frank Perry and Jimmy Patterson, quarter back Marty Helton, slot back Spence Grigg, defensive back Randy Brown, center Joel El more, lineman Billy Crawford and offensive guard Alex Haynes. The Indians open on August 31 at North Forsyth High in Winston-Salem in what should be a tough game. Last year, they were 3-7 overall and 2-7 in the confer ence. That was good for eighth place. Wins were 7-6 over Harding, 7-0 over Independence and 15-8 over Monroe High School. Losses were 35-9 to Myers Park, 14-7 to North, 27-6 t( Olympic, 26-0 to South, 47-0 t< West Charlotte, 28-7 to East Mecklenburg and 24-19 tc Ga ringer. Look for the Indians to be improved over last year. "We are going to work hard and try to make something out of this year,” said the soft spoken McArver who exper ienced the first losing season at West Mecklenburg in four years, last year. Other Indians who could help mold the nuclei are quar terback Thomas Carter, half back Robert Johnson, half back Herbert Dunn, guard Mark Lockamy, tackle Mar vin Goodwin, tackle Cuyler Calton, guard Aquinaldo Lowe, tackle Dwight Osborne, tackle Butch McGowan, end Jimmy Hestikind and end Marty Hicks.
