We apologize for the incon venience. By MATTHEW BROWN HHJ Sports Writer Ready or not, a new foot ball season is about to begin. The International City Warriors aren’t just look ing to make the Southern Football League bigger and more competitive. This group wants to be the com petition to make all others be on the lookout. One week from today, the new season for the new semi pro gridiron squad begins in Gadsden, Ala., against the Avengers. Ironically, Gadsden is the hometown of International City head coach Daryl McNeil, who came to Houston County when the Army base in Gadsden closed. McNeil is a former assis tant coach for the now defunct Middle Georgia Stallions, a team that had a two-year unbeaten streak end only because the team was forced to fold. McNeil said this Warrior team wants nothing less than to recapture what the Stallions accomplished, all the way to the EFA national champion You deserve the Red Carpet Treatment r? - w «§3r W^^!IS^B9^HOORBRRRRRRRRRRRR&RRtRtRRRKtRFKRRRRKRKRRURRKRKRKRRRRKKRRRRRRROKKKKtKKKHKKKKKK^Ktf^^^^^^^^^^^^^> l^^,^^^^ Signature Preferred Checking Balance Annual Percentage Yield* SI,OOO-4,999 4.01% $5,000-49,999 4.18% $50,000+ 4.62% No-Fee Checking with Interest*- Free Checks* No Closing Costs Home Equity Lines of Credit Installment Loan Discounts And Much, Much More, cbst Bank of Middle Georgia MenberFDiC www.cbtbank.com H[ 478-929-1004 Synovus A provider of Synovus Financial Service* »*■»**«■*».

Meetings are scheduled for Thursday at the Georgia Forestry Commission Auditorium in Macon, July 11 at the Coastal Georgia College Community Auditorium in ship game in Atlantic City at the end of the year. “Some of these guys have been out almost a year,” said McNeil on Thursday as he waited on his players for a practice session at the field across from Perry Primary School. “They are pretty much ready to get back on the field and do some hit ting. “Right now, I would say we are one of the fittest teams in the league. Conditioning is first and foremost with this team. We do run a West Coast offense, so you have to be well conditioned to run it.” The West Coast offense is well known to avid National Football League fans as what brought Super Bowl championships to the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers. The Warriors will have someone with pro experience running the show in a for mer five-year member of the Macon Knights arena team. He’s quarterback Shedrick Respert. “We do probably five or six formations out of the West Coast offense,” said McNeil. “We may go three receivers, four or five. It depends on the situation.” This was also the philoso phy that guided the Stallions to all those wins with an average of 56 points per game.

There are about 40 players on the current Warriors ros ter. The Southern Football League allows a maximum of 60 with 50 who can travel to away games. McNeil said he can add players after the fourth week of the season. “It’s probably one of the premier leagues in semi-pro football,” said McNeil about the SFL, which has 20 squads with two conferences of 10 each and four divisions with five teams each. “A lot of guys are here from the local high schools. We have players who come from Perry, Houston County, Warner Robins and Northside. We have a few out of Macon and two who played at Hawkinsville High School.” What McNeil stressed as the most impressive aspect of the Warriors team is the dedication and work ethic towards the game of foot ball. The team is attempted to show its support to the youth of Houston County by appearing at places such as the Alphabet Learning Center in Perry. The home games will take place at the Central City Park in Macon on Lucas Field. People Pleasing! (We will delight you!) t-7* l*H • M7-M77 „,vx: ,- BM
