TROJANS PREPARE FOR EASTERN SEMIFINALS West To Clash With Whifeville In Historic Playoff Game ItY IMHNi KUITKR Wesl Brunswick dashes wiili con ference rival Whileville Friday rnghi hi a history-making high school fixilball playoff game for the Trojans. The contest will mark the first time a team from West Brunswick has made it to the third round ol the state 2 A playoffs. "They're real excited," Wesl Brunswick Coach Marshall Scay said ol the players. "They know it's going to he a tough one, and they want to walk away from it die win ner." The Trojans (II I) advanced to die eastern semifinals by beating James Kenan on the road last Friday 32-21. White ville (9-3) was a 2K-0 winner over Red Springs, and will host this week's contest. West Brunswick is one of lour teams remaining in the eastern re gion of the state 2- A playoffs, and one of three teams from the Waccamaw Conference. Scay said the Trojans aren't in timidated by Whileville, which has a rich high school football tradition, or die importance of the game. "1 think experience is in our cor ner," Scay said. "We're just gonna have lo execute real well on offense. I think our youngsters will do every thing they can." Win or lose Friday night, the 1991 Trojan football learn has already found a place in school history. They are die first football squad to win 1 1 games in a season. West Brunswick won 10 games in 1975 and again 1988. The Trojans made it to the sccond round of the stale playoffs those years, but lost to Southern Alamance in 1975 and to Jordan Matthews three years ago. Friday night's game will be played in Whitevillc, even though the Trojans have a better record, were seeded higher in the confcr cncc and beat the Wolfpack in Whiteville during the regular sea son. Brackets for the state playoffs were set prior to the regular season, but Seay thinks the game should be played in Shallotlc. "We may be a little on the ornery side having to go up there," he said. The Trojans, enjoying a school record, fifth consecutive winning season and third trip to the playoffs in the last four years, beat Whiteville 19-7 on Sept. 27 in the conference opener for both teams. West Brunswick's Aldwin Lance, who has rushed for 1 ,262 yards this season, scored two second-half touchdowns in the game, and the Trojan defense did the rest. The Wolfpack gained only 112 yards on oflense, and was held to one first down in the sccond half. The Trojans rushed for 160 yards and passed for 113 in the game. Seay said both teams have made changes since the earlier meeting, and Whiteville is more versatile on offense than it was at that time. "You just got to take the first con test and throw it out the window," he said. "It don'l mean anything right now." Scay said he hopes the officiating in this week's game is more consis tent than it was last week. West Brunswick was penalized lor 'XI yards, compared to 2K yards lor James Kenan. "James Kenan certainly wasn't playing flawless football." he said "We've just got to hope that situa tion is more like il was against Farmvillc- balanced." Whitevillc, a playoff team each ol the last eight years, hasn't advanced to the third round since I <->K7 . Thai was the year the Wolfpack went Is 0 and won the stale championship. After posting a 7-3 mark in the regular season and finishing third in the conference. Whitevillc has Ihvii impressive in its first two play oil games. The Wolfpack beat Northside. the top-ranked 2-A team in the stale. h> a scorc of 31- 10 in the first round. Whitevillc scored three second quarter touchdowns in last week's shuloul of Red Springs. "Just like us nghl now they're on a roll, and it's going to be a real ex citing ball game," Scay said. Friday night's game will be the 17ih meeting of West Brunswick and Whitevillc. The Wolfpack has dominated the series, winning 12 ol 16. Besides this year's regular-season victory. West Brunswick's only oth er wins against Whilcville came in 1974, 1975 and 1988. V.
