Prior to opening the season August 24 at North Myrtle Beach. S.C.. the Trojans will visit Loris, S.C. and Tabor City in a pair of pre season scrimmages. Despite the usual August heat during last week's opening drills, Trojan head coach Marshall Seay was pleased with what he saw, espe cially from the defensive players. "Our big people on defense have been so impressive with their desire and hustle," said Seay. "Players the si/e of Alton Johnson (258-pound senior), Bobby Lovett (236, junior), George Daniels (272. junior), Tony Caison (272, junior) and Jamie Galloway (235, senior) really have io endure a lot when it's so hot. They have all come through the first week looking good." Johnson, Daniels and Caison are reluming starters to the defensive line while Galloway is a returning letterman. Lovett is a super-looking junior, according to Seay, who is up from the junior varsity. Perhaps the Trojans' biggest problem is a chore every prep foot ball coaching staff would love to have?selecting a quarterback from a field of three top candidates. Brian Fleming (sophomore), Jeff Latino (senior) and Brian Alderson (sophomore) are all battling for the starting spot. I^atino, who also starts at linebacker, is the only one of the trio with game experience alter hav ing backed up three-year starter Raymond Howard during the 1987 89 seasons. more of an overall solid program this year than last season. We're hoping in j?ci hack into the spirit ol 1MXK." viul Seay in reference to the Trojans' Waccamaw 2-A Conference championship season. "We probably have the toughest noneonference schedule in the league. We open against North Myrtle Beach. S.C'. (August 24). and they won their last five games ol the season last year. We lace Southwest Onslow, a traditional I-A power, in our home opener (August 31) and travel to Saint Pauls (Sep. 7)." "Our win over Saint Pauls last season was probably our most un derrated noneonference win in my live years here," said Seay. Both Southwest Onslow and Saint Pauls advanced well into the 1-A state playoffs last year and Seay expects both to be equally ?K strong tnis fall. And ihc Waccamaw (.onlcronc* race looks lo bo another difficult battle according to Seav with low league members opening the season wuli new head coaches. "South Robeson has a lot ol gc?Hl athletes returning anil F.ast Bladen (defending leaue champions* had a ver\ uihhI junior varsity team last year. Whiteville still looks to bo the 'boast ol the cast" and South Brunswick will have a lot ot speed. Both Fairmont and West Columbus have unproved coaching stalls while North Brunswick is soit ot a question mark at this point " ***** Junior varsity football practice will begin Monday. August I >, at p.m. Practice will last until 8:'0 p.m. All players should have a physical exam prior to practice, ac cording to Scay. "It's a good problem to have that many quality players for the same position," added Seay. "We'll have to wail and see what happens be tween now and our season opener." And the quurterbacking position is not the only area where a host of Trojans are battling for the starting nod. For die first time in Scay's five years at West, the defensive sec ondary will have as many as nine players vying for two positions. Aldwin Lance returns to anchor the secondary at cornerback but the rest ol the defensive backficld spots arc up for grabs. "We've never had the luxury of having more people for the sec ondary than we needed. We hope to thin the numbers down to six play ers who w ili be ready to play in that area," said Seay.

And Faircloth hasn't been llie on ly member of a host of young play ers that have looked impressive in the first week of practice. "We've had nine freshmen who have been practicing since Uie first day. Ihey don't have to report to practice for two weeks but arc al ready out. This group will probably make up the nucleus ol our junior varsity team. We expect to field 30 on the JV squad which w ill also be coached by the varsity stall this fall," said Seay.
