Defending South Division champion Copinh -Lin– coln has won two games in a row and avern~ed 22.0 points in the process. But coach Randall Bradberry says his Wolves, who scored only 18 total points in their first. three games, An.: still hungry for some offensive consistency. "We're still doing a lot. ofthe :;ame things we were clo– ing earlier this season," Bradberry said. "We'r<• making crucial mistakes. Against Northeast (a 20-14 int.erdivi– sion win last. Thursday) we had penalties in key situn– tions and several turnovers. Those things will just kill you, and until we quit we're not going to be a goodofl!!n– .siveteam." The Wolves' offensive MVP to this point might. hl~ Greg Scoggins, who bas kicked six field goals and aver· aged 42 yards on his punts. Co-Lin, 3-2 a nd 2-0, is entering the telling HI retch of it.c; season, facing improvingSouthwest and divhnon <'O leaders Hinds and GulfCoast the next three weeks. " Defense has carried us so far," Bradberry Hnid. "We had a letdown in the fourth quarter qv,ainst NortheasL We let them get two touchdowns on us. Hut overall, our defense has been real solid." Freshman linebacker Chris Russelllt>ads the t(>am in tackles, and sophomore defensive end Roger BrookE ranks among the state leaders in sacks · Two·for·one deal: Northwest made a hig c.all'h when Russell Evans electt:d to hcgin Ius ('Oill'Jo:C <:arc:cr in Senatobia. Evans, 6 feet 4, 215 pounds, was highly rct•ntiteclus both a football and basketball player lnst yc.1r 11t Plunt City, Fla., High. He was a Prop 42 who faced t'ntt·tnl de cisions on which sport to pur1;ue and which routu lcJ take. He'll play both sports at Northwest. "We like to never got him, there wt•rc, so muny tlt'lwuls interested," Rangers coach Bobhy Frnnklin snid Evans took over at quarterback for 1 he Jwnr,o111 ttllh• start ofthe season and grudually took uvt~r tlatJ t
