SPORTING SCFNF
Former Cougar Beck Gets
Another Chance At Majors
BY JOHNNY CRAIG
The professional baseball career of former South Brunswick Cougar
Wynn Beck has been revived, thanks to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Beck, the Oakland Athletics' second-round draft selection in 1988, was
released by the defending American League champions on June 1 after a
lengthy bout with chronic back and shoulder injuries.
After being courted by Cincinnati, Montreal and Milwaukee since his
release. Beck signed with the Brewers and has been playing with their
Class A Beloit, Wisconsin, team of the Midwest League since July 18.
Through 19 games, Beck is hitting at a .304 average with nine runs
batted in. The former Cougar still has two weeks left in the current minor
league season.
Last year Beck hit a professional -best .264 in 102 games at Madison,
Wis., being used mostly as a designated hitler.
Beck, a former all-state performer, helped lead South Brunswick to the
state 2-A baseball championship in 1988.
Stephen Mint/, a former North Brunswick sports standout, continues to
enjoy success as a pitcher for the Los Angles Dodgers' Bakersfield, Calif.,
team in the Class A California League.
Mint/ sports a 5-5 mound record with a 4.44 earned run average in 25
games. He has also recorded three saves.
Bean Plays For Merchant Marines
Beacon reader Bcb Igoe, a recruiter and alumni of the U.S. Merchant
Marine Academy, writes that former South Brunswick football star Hans
Bean is playing with the King Point, N.Y. team.
Bean, a junior, is a wide receiver for the Merchant Marine grid team.
Chiefs To Provide Trojans With Early Challenge
The early word on the North Mynle Beach, S.C., Chiefs, West
Brunswick's football season-opening opponent, is that the team will be
much improved over 1990.
"They have changed offenses and they are throwing the ball very
well," said West Brunswick head coach Marshall Scay on scouting reports.
"It appears we will have our hands full. They have already scrimmaged
Myrtle Beach (S.C.) once and they will be a lough team to open up
against."

Brunswick possession. Earlier in the
drive Matt Bo/cman caught a 35
yard pass from quarterback Brian
Alderson to tlic Loris 20-yard line.
Aldcrson again connected with
Bo/cman for the second Trojan
touchdown on the second West
Brunswick possession. Three plays
earlier West Brunswick running
back Aaron Butler rambled for 45
yards U) die Loris 20 to put the
Trojans in scoring position.
Sophomore running back Mich
ael Lancc, a cousin of Aldwin,
scored the final Trojan touchdown
on a big 61 -yard sprint. Michael
L-ancc was one of six running backs
BRIAN ALDKRSON
on ihc Trojan junior varsity squad a
year ago.
"Our first icam offense and de
fense matched up to their first teams
pretty evenly," said Scay of the
scrimmage. "Both teams scored on
their opening drives and it became a
defensive war after that. After eval
uating the films, I didn't see a real
dominate team."
"We did very well later against
their sccond, third and fourth teams
bccausc Loris had so many players
they wanted to get into the game. I
was optimistic about what I saw but
wc still have a lot of work to do,"
added Scay.

"We have the ability and talent to
be a good team but it boils down to
whether or not we have the guts to
work hard in order to get there.
We've got 'fair' players who arc
going to have to become 'good'
players and 'good' players who arc
going to have to becomc 'great'
players."
Seay was impressed with the
number of quality athletes that com
prised the Loris team as well as the
Lion quarterbacks the Trojans
faced.
"Loris probably has more gotxl
all-around athletes and more players
on the roster this year than they
have ever had. Both their first and
second-string quarterbacks threw
die ball a lot so we got a gtxnl
workout defending the pass."
"They operated out of a one-back
offensive set and ran some very
good running backs at us."
*****
Monday's indoor practice in the
Trojan gym was a first at West
Brunswick during Seay's five-year
tenure.
"We have always practiced out
side even if it was for only 30 min
utes or if a was pouring down rain.
The scattered lighuiing this after
noon kept us inside. There's not but
so much you can get done practic
ing under those kind of conditions,"
said Seay.
"When practicing on the gym
floor you really have to guard
against such things as musclc pulls.
We worked a lot with the offensive
line on blocking assignments and
timed some plays. Overall, it was a
bummer of a practicc session."
