There is a logjam of talented ball carriers also, with big Vicky Woodruff, a 63, 205-pound senior fullback the most impressive figure.

At the halfback spot a battle between a pair of juniors, 185-pound Andre Hurrington and converted quarterback Barry Canning (150). While tackles Ken Froman i6-4, 215) and Scott McEwen (6-5. 210) have solid holds on their positions, there is a big struggle for the starting guard spots among six hopefuls. Steve Brackett (212), Kyle Neighbors (170) and Jerry Rogers (185) are the leading contenders. BIG SPRING STK.i.R FACTO District S-AAAA Head Bob Itn Rk ortl (14 In District i.

As of the first week of two- a-day workouts, Wright had two quaterbacks running neck-and-neck for the starting post. Brad Sanders, a defensive back in 1972, is listed as a real competitor, but Travis Hamption, switched from split end, can do better things handling the ball.

Broderson, a 208-pound senior letterman, was a defensive regular last season. Louder (184) is a defensive squad lost a little puch when returning starting linebacker Robert Horton was injured in a motorcycle accident. Horton and Shannon Truelock both started at the linebacker spots as sophomores last year.

Truelock, light at 137, a real knack to get to the football." Wright lists defensive as the strength of the team with Broderson, Lantz and Wise joining Turelock and Horton, when he returns to action, as the stalwarts.
