Trojans Return Home To Face Defending WC Champion Mustanqs II Y JOHNNY CKAIC West Brunswick returns home for the first time in three weeks Friday to host the defending Waceamaw 2 A Conference football champion South Robeson. Friday will also Ik- the Trojans' first league home game of the sea son after a 37-0 blanking of Fairmont last week and a 19-7 win over Whitcville two weeks ago in a pair of WC road games to open the conference campaign. 'lite Trojans enter the game at the top of the WC standings with a per fect 2-0 league record ami an un blemished 5-0 overall mark. "South Robeson is using basical ly the same offensive anil defensive schemes that they used a year ago," said West Brunswick head coach Marshall Seay of the Mustangs. "Fortunately Chris Watson (out standing Mustang tackle) has gradu ated." Watson was one of three graduat ed Mustangs from a year ago who signed with NCAA Division 1 schools. Watson inked with Clcmson while two South Robeson receivers signed last spring with N.C. State and Appalachian State. Offensively, the Mustangs oper ate from a variation of the Wing T formation while also running from the Pro Set similar to West Bruns wick. "Their quarterback throws the ball very well and directed his team lo as many offensive yards against Fairmont as we did. He also threw the ball well against us last year," added Scay. "South Robeson attacks the line of scrimmage very well and their running backs run tight with |H)wer." "They also run a lot of misdirec tion plays with trapping and are an equal threat to throw the ball at the same time," said Scay of the Mustangs. South Robeson is currently 1-1 in the WC after losing to Whitcvillc 29-6 last Friday. The Mustangs won their league opener and their only game thus far this season, 12-8 over Fairmont. ITie Mustangs' offense sputtered early scoring only seven points in their three nonconfcrcncc games. After dropping a 22-7 loss to Red Springs, South Robeson suffered back-to-back shutouts to 4-A Purnell Swett (40-0) and 1-A power St. Pauls (19-0). Meanwhile, the Trojans have rolled to five consecutivc wins and are atop the WC standings w ith a 2 0 mark West Brunswick opened league play two weeks ago with a 19-7 win over Whitcvillc and shutout Fair mont last week, 37-0. The Trojans also got shutouts in two of their nonconfcrcncc games in a 38-0 whitewash of North Myrtle Beach, ?c., and a 6-0 edg ing of Mullins, S.C. South Brunswick, a 34-7 loser to the Trojans in the sccond week of the season, is the only other team to score on the West Brunswick de fense which is yielding an average of 2.8 points per game.

In between, the Trojans got their first win ever over South Robeson, 20-6. The Mustangs won the 1986 meeting on the lield, 25-21, but were later forced to forfeit the deci sion for using an ineligible player. "Our games with South Robeson have been very physical in the past," said Seay. "Last year and in 1987, South Robeson had more tal ent than we did but we were still fortunate to win. They may not have very many players but the ones they do have are very talented." "In the five times we have played Soudi Robeson since I've been at West Brunswick, South Robeson has been a team that our kids have really get up for," continued Seay. "Our players realize South Robeson has a lot of talent anil that the game will Ik very physical." The Mustangs are in their third year under the direction of head coach Hill Scchrest. "Bill is a gixxl coach and has a former Jack liollcy assistant coach to aid his stall. South Robeson is well-coached and gets a lot of disci pline thanks to its coaching stall." ? * ? ??
