'.’y, '■■ ' : ' ] 9 ENI/Gary Harmon Demonette female varsity track team captain Danielle Atkins completes her first lap in Saturday’s race. HORNETS From page jB Stratford beat them 17- 7. They also might have had Tattnall in common but that particular contest was washed away for the Eagles (Westfield lost to it 20-12). Offensively, Jones said one of his big concerns is stop ping Stratford’s Marquez Lemon who averages 5.91 yards a carry. “But,” he said, “you can’t just key in on him because they can beat you in other areas.” One of those is the pass. Jones said the Eagles throw more than any team they’ve faced thus far and their numbers bear that out. They average around 111 yards in the air and 105 on the ground. . -V ; ( if .'.. ;, I 1 t ,-, ~ , . *■: ..... . , , - -. ■ -•••■ • •■ ■■■-Mjfc-.-.-..'a'v> ;-;•■• ..

ENI/Gary Harmon Perry’s first place female finisher Bethany Loggins - with a time of 24:07 - makes her way to the finish line. “They do a lot of play action,” Jones, whose own squad averages right at 290 yards rushing a game but just under 30 passing, said. He also added they tend to base out of an I. “They’ll have trips, double twins, basically just spread you out all over the field.” In a defense that averages giving up about 180 yards on the ground and 70 in the air - the Hornets come in at approximately 113 and 70, respectively - Jones said Stratford likes to use an “even front.” His biggest concern in that regard, he said, were the Eagles’ two inside and two outside linebackers, but, “They’re a lot like us,” Jones said. “They’re not overly big in size but they have a lot of speed on defense and they have a lot of guys to go to the ball.” “I think the biggest thing for us is we’ve got to contin ue to play our game ... with a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of fun ... keep that up.” In other words, take care of the little things that mat ter most.
