East Cent al prepares feast for visiti g Coahoma tonight By MARTY STAMPER

There have been some floggmgs -by Northwest (64-14 in 1989 nd 73-0 m 1985) and Pearl River (70- 22m 1989 and 58-0 m1987). Of Hs Iasl 113 games. Coahoma has just Lhree wins. Since the Ti– =ers began playmg in 1975, they're i-1.!2-I. The Warriors haven 'L played Coahoma since 1983 with ECCC "'inning, 28-0. ECCC had barely beaten theTigers, 3-0, the previous year. "They're big," runth-year ECCC coach A.J. Kilpatrick said of the currem Coahoma team. "On their !me, they have one that weighs 390 and one 400. Thesr quarterback (LateefTellis) throws the ball well. The} come pretty aggressively on defense." ECCC turned in its best perfor– mance of 1990 in last week's 20-7 'Win overGutfCoast.

"Oui defense played well as a Nhole against the run and Lhe pass," Kilpatrick said. "We held them to 150 yards and a bunch of tha t came on one play. We've ;>layed two preny good defensive games back to back." Leading the ECCC defense have been Alabama sophomores Wyatl Williams (29 tackles), Felton Bur– roughs (16 tackles, L wo in tercep– ti ons ), and Hayes Petty (two interceptions). "There's no question how valu– able that's been," Kilpalrick said of their year of experience. Kilpatrick has also been pleased with the offensive line play of De– wayne Johnson, Brent Bailey , Chris Houston , and Zederick Cis trunk. "We' re getting a pretty good job out of all of the offensive line– men," the ECCC coach said. "I be-

I1cve they'll do beuer as they get more experie'1te." Kilpatrick ~.:3d anticipated an all– sophomore of:.ensive line, but as is often Lhe caie in Lhe jucos, that failed to mater;alize. Only Bailey and Clstrunk r.rumed from 1989. --pJ'ter bein; shut out in sts first two games, Coahoma scored 10
