only one game slated
turday while the rest of the

unpredictable Itawamba
t:-:>-
North Division contest.
t
r Thursday night games
d the JuCo circuit find
Coahoma vs . Northeast at
Booneville, Hinds at Mississippi
Delta, Holmes at Senatobia
against Ray Poole's Northwest
squad and Gulf Coast at Summit
pfaying Southwest.
The Saturday night game pits
Jones of EllisvilJe against Pearl
River at Watkins Stadium in
Laurel.
"We played a real good foot–
ball team last week," said
Pouncey assessing his Warriors'
10-7
loss to powerful Holmes at
Goodman.
' 'And, we'll be playing another
fine team at home this week. Co–
Lin
is
one of the better teams in
the state. They have probably
more speed than any team we'll
face this season. Great wide
receivers and a quarterback
who can do it all."
Pouncey was SpP.aking of the
Wolves' talented signal caller,
Bryan Fine, a transfer from In–
diana whose passes stood Nor–
theast on its ear,
36-14,
last
week.
Having played on Thursday
last week, Pouncey scouted the
Wolves.
''I
would say they <Co-Lin)
have one of the best offensive
teams in the league. They have
good running backs to go along
with their passing attack. a big
mobile line and a fine defensive
secondary which will put our
passing game to an acid test,"
he added.
"Maybe Co-Lin is not quite as
physical as Holmes," he con–
tinued, " but their overall speed
is a lot better "
Pouncey said he would go
along with his basic lineup
against the Wolves that he used
last week against the Bulldogs
since none of his Warriors suf–
fered any serious injuries in that
opener .
He singled out
~L'!y
J ones, a
strong safety who handled punt
return duties well, as having
played an outstanding opening
game, plus linebackers Bob
Yarbrough and Raymond Alley
and nose guard Andy Johns for
thei r contributions against
Holmes.
EMJC
is
one of three North
teams which stands
1-0,
but
0-0
in divis ion results. The others
are Holmes and Itawamba. Nor–
theast, Mississippi Delta, Nor–
thwest and Coahoma are all
o-1.
In the South, Co-Lin, Gulf
Coast, Jones and Pearl River all
sport
1-0
overall marks while
Hinds and Southwest, along with
East Central, are winless after
one week of play.
East Mississippi had a hard–
fought battle against Southwest
a week ago and head coach Ran–
dle Bradberry expects another
tough one Thursday.
Itawamba looked good in win–
mng last week and the Indians
w1Jl have the added advantage
of playing before their home
fans.
