TROJANS LOOKING GOOD
Football Practice Underway At
Brunswick County High Schools
BY DOUG RUTTER
West Brunswick High School's
football practicc field was buzzing
with excitement Monday morning as
the Trojans ? coming off their finest
season ever ? sweated through the
first summer practicc of 1993.
Head Coach Jim Brett, who led
West to its first state football cham
pionship in school history last year,
said he was pleased with the turnout
and attitude of the players.
"I think we're certainly at a high
er level at this point in the summer
than we were a year ago," Brett said.
"There's still a lot to be done, but I
was pleased for Use first day."
Brett was particularly happy
about the attitude of the players,
who arc apparently looking forward
to another successful year. "I feel
like we've just come miles and
miles with attitude," Brett said.
West's coaching staff focused on
fundamentals and basic plays Mon
day morning. Prospective running
backs learned how to take handoffs
while their large friends, the line
men, learned how to get down in a
three-point stance.
Coach Brett expects to carry
about 35 players on the varsity
squad this year. He said 39 showed
up for practice Monday morning but
a few of them will play with the ju
nior varsity.
"1 was real pleased with the turn
out," he said "Two or three arc not
here yet for various reasons and a
few that came out today will be go
ing down to the JV."
Brett, who has a career coaching
record of 179-64, said the Trojans
will practice every morning this
week before starting "two-a-day"
workouts next week. The team will
follow that schedule until school
starts Aug. 30.
The 1993 season opener against
Conway, S.C., is just over three
weeks away. Before then, West has
two scrimmages scheduled the week
of Aug. 15.
The Trojans will host North Myr
tle Beach on the 16th and travel to
East Duplin on the 21st. Game limes
have not been decided.

South Brunswick Coach Bill
Hewett said the 1993 Cougars got
off to a rocky start Monday, but the
coach is optimistic about the upcom
ing season.
"It was the worst first day I've
ever had," Hewett said after 38 play
ers showed up for practice Monday
night. The 38 included players from
the varsity, junior varsity and ninth
grade teams.
Hewett said miscommunication
caused some players to miss prac
tice, while othei kids are still work
ing summer jobs.
"It's hard to gel these beach kids
out here," Hewett said. "The kids
that got here worked hard, but it just
was not a good day. I was a little dis
appointed."
Hewett thinks things will get bet
ter. "Our job is to improve on that
situation. We're optimistic. We think
we've got some good kids return
ing."
