AS GRID DRILLS CONTINUE West Brunswick Gears For Preseason Scrimmages BY JOHNNY CRAIG "It's slill hot," said West Brunswick head loot hall coach of tlic balmy weather Monday as his team en tered its third week of preseason drills at the school's grid complex. The Trojans took a break from traditional drills Saturday and held their annual Green and Gold inter squad game despite the morning heat. The day conclud ed with team pictures in the afternoon. "We saw some things we're lacking in and we also saw some good tilings," said Seay on the intcrsquad contest. "The best thing I saw is that we arc going to be an awfully aggressive team and a hard-hitting team." "The defense dominated the game Saturday but the defense is always ahead of offense at this stage of the preseason. If your defense isn't ahead of the offense it means you've got a very weak defense." The Trojan coaching staff split the team evenly into two 22-man squads and played under game conditions. "We have a long way to go on the offensive line but we're getting there. We have a good mixture of veterans and youngsters." Among the top individual performances in Saturday's contest was the play of senior Clcon Butler. "Clcon was awfully promising as a sophomore but did not have a real good junior year," explained Seay. "He is really looking good this time around. Clcon caught a touchdown pass and had several big hits on de fense playing both wide receiver and defensive back." Tony Caison, a 6-foot-4, 291-pound senior, has made the switch from an exclusive offensive lineman to play ing both on the offense and defensive lines. "Tony is playing both ways as though he has played them his whole career. His stamina as a big man is tremendous." ????? The Trojans were to have seen iheir first scrimmage opponent yesterday (Wednesday) traveling to [.oris, S.C. to faec the 2-A Lions at 7 p.m. Socastcc, S.C., a 4- A school in Myrtle Beach, was al so invited to the scrimmage according to Seay. This week's practice sessions arc considerably differ ent compared to the first week as Seay explained. "The first week we were in shorts with no contact drills teaching the players who to block. This week we arc in pads with full contact teaching the kids how to block. To be successful you have to have all the who's and how's down pat." "Defensively we arc still working hard on lite funda mentals of tackling at all positions. A real pet peeve of mine is to not only have 11 defensive players who can hit but not have 1 1 players thai can tackle," added Seay. The Trojan coaching staff is installing both their of fensive and defensive game plans in phases. "We probably won't have everything in place until the first conference game. I've always been big on be ing able to do a few tilings right than doing a lot of things wrong. It's a progression-type of thing." * * ** * Former varsity assistant Billy Minis will be serving this fall as the head junior varsity coach. Seay encourages all 9th and 10th graders interested in playing on the junior varsity level to report to Minis immediately or call 754-77(X). There have been a number of junior varsity players practicing since August 1. trying to make the varsity squad according to Seay. The Trojan JV team will play an attractive, l()-ganic schedule similar to the varsity this fall. Former Trojan Gridders Head For College Ranks BY JOHNNY CRAK; Raymond Howard and JcIT Lctino are among the latest former West Brunswick football stars who arc working to make the football teams of two state universities. Howard, a former Trojan quarter back, left for N.C. State in Raleigh last Thursday after talking with Wolfpack receivers coach Kent Briggs earlier in the week. "All of the football coachcs at N.C. Stale have been together for quite some time now and they are all well aware of Raymond's abili ties," said West Brunswick head football coach Marshall Seay. "Ray mond's lack of height (5-foot-9) was his only liability for now being a NCAA Division prospect out of high school." Howard initially signed with the Air Force Academy after graduating from West Brunswick in 1989. "He attended the Air Force prep school and did a fine job. Raymond made the decision to go to N.C. State instead because it best suited his academic needs," added Seay. "Raymond told Coach Briggs he would welcome die opportunity to play for N.C. State after they talked anil the \V<> I (pack assistant asked him about joining the Wolfpaek." The Wolfpaek plans to use Howard as a wide receiver accord ing to Seay. "Raymond will be way ahead of most freshmen after having a year of prep school, lie has a real good idea of what he's getting into. Just how well he does, we'll just have to wait and see. It's just a very favor able situation for him to be in." "In addition to having the chance to play Division I football, he will develop friends and establish con tacts that will last him a lifetime." said Seay. Lctino, a former linebacker/run ning back/reserve quarterback, re ported to Appalachian State Uni versity in Boone last week. Letino plans to play linebacker with the Division I- A Mountaineers. Another recent West Brunswick graduate, Blake Bradley, a former football and baseball standout, is al so attending Appalachian State. Bradley is serving as a Mountaineer athletic trainer and has earned a full scholarship.

"Corey worked out in our weight room all summer and helped us coach the kids," Scay said. "Catawba plays a very tough brand of football and they are in a league (South Atlantic Conference) with a lot of talent." Brian Hill, a 1989 West Bruns wick graduate, has transferred to East Carolina University after sign ing with Wingate College and play ing a season for the Bulldogs. "Brian did well as a freshman at Wingate but feels like he can play on the ECU level," added Seay. Jel l Bernard, another 19X9 West Brunswick graduate, recently signed a grant with Chowan Junior College in Murfrecsboro. Bernard was an outstanding run ning back and defensive back for the Trojans and became the first West Brunswick gridder to play in the an nual Shrine Bowl his senior year. Bernard was offered a full scholarship to the University of North Carolina but failed to scorv the minimum requirement on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). "If Jeff completes his course work in his two years at Chowan, he can transfer to any NCAA Division I school in the country," said Scay. "He will then still have two years of eligibility."
