I SPORTING SCENE Prep Foo Playoffs I BY JOHNNY CRAIG The high school football postseason playoffs received a major exB pansion and improvement last week when the North Carolina High School IB Athletic Association mpmhorchip I voted overwhelmingly to increase the field in the Division I play and eliminate the present Divison II format. I Ninety-seven percent of all football-playing schools voted to drop the Division II playoffs and instead I adopt a 32-teani Division I field in each classification. The Division II playoffs was a post-season format for conference runners-up which was only played to an eastern and western champion in 2-A and 3-A classifications while the 4-A class was played to a state champion. The newly adopted 32-team field will give each conference two playoff berths and in some larger leagues allow as many as three spots. This new format will become effective with the upcoming fall season while the playoff pairings will be released by the NCHSAA within the next several weeks. The exapnded playoffs will add an extra week onto the prep football season but the decision to increase the field is one of the best improvements in years because in past years when each conference received only one playoff berth, a number of 7-3 and 8-2 teams were forced to stay home or participate in Division II. Although the Division II playoffs were popular and provided the NCHSAA with increased revenues, the recent Division I expansion will do all these and more. Another step forward in all prep athletics came in a vote by NCHSAA members to add an additional preseason scrimmage. Seventy-one nercent of the memhprs vnto#i in (favor of the addition which will especially help in football. Football would be the only sport that would have specific guidelines with one scrimmage conducted under the present conditions while the other having restrictions in the kicking game. Teams will instead have simulated conditions and no f? contact during kicking and punting situations in one of the scrimmages. t Post 68 Swe i Jacksonville, Brunswick County Post 68 remained in first place in the American legion Area II Eastern Division baseball standings last week with a pair of wins over Jacksonville and Winter Park.

This decision will not take effect until ine rJttb-87 season since many schools have already prepared schedules. Football schools will not continue to play their first game the last Fri aay in August. In other news, it was announced that NCHSAA Executive Director Charles Adams and Administrative Assistant Ken Tilley will be guest speakers at the National Federation of State High School Associations (NCSHSA) in Lexington, Kentucky on July 1-6. More than 1,000 athletic administrators and school officials from across the nation will attend the week-long conference. Adams will be presiding at a workshop entitled "The Use of NonCertified Coaches" while Tilley will speak on "Working with School Boards and Legislatures". The NFSHSA has a membership of 20,000 high schools; 500,000 coaches and 500,000 officials and judges from all 50 states. Legend Resigns Hickory's Frank Barger, the winningest active high school football coach in North Carolina, resigned last month to end 32 years guiding Red Tornadoes teams since 1953. Barger, 62, ended his coaching career with a 231-101-5 record including last season's M team which won its last five games after a 1-4 start. Larry Wittenberg was announced last week as Barger's replacement. Wittenberg, a Lenoir-Rhyne College graduate ironically enough played under Barger during the late 1950's and has been an assistant coach at Hickory since 1970. I had the privilege of attending Hiflrnrv'c an/4 alcr* norunr'c fir? 1 home game in early November last year. The Red Tornadoes sent the legendary coach out on a winning note with a thrilling come-frombehind win over state-ranked Morgantcr. Freedom. eps Past Winter Park top Winter Park (3-8). Andre Perkins was the winning pitcher for Brunswick County while also collecting a double and single. Mike Russ led Post 68 at the plate with three hits while Clenn McCuen added a double and home run and Chuck Clemmcns two hits also. Winter Park was led by Sean Ross and Jim Rogers who collected two hits each. In other American legion play last week, Post 10 also won two games with a 6-4 win over Winter Park and an 8-6 victory over Whiteville.
