Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m The Eagles are ranked No. 1 in the nation in the junior college poll with a perfect 6-0 overall record and 3-0 South Division mark. "They've got. an outstanding football team from top to bottom, starting with their big offen,ive line," ECCC coach Willie "Tenny" Coats said. "They also h ave a strong defense and they've got an excellent kicker and punter. They are strong everywhere. It's going to be a challenge." Hinds enters the contest averaging 376 yards total offen per game and scoring at a 36.5 points per game clip, while the defense allows only 195 total yards per outing and a stingy 9.3 points per game. The Eagles soared over Copiah Lincoln 40-0 last week to keep their unbeaten mark intact. The Warriors fell to CO-Lin in the second game of the season 17-13.

Wide receiver James J ones was on the receiv– ing end of both those scoring tosses and finished with 13 catches for 158. Tailback Sedric Moore paced the Eagles ground attack with 82 yards on 13 ca~ ries. "Anything can happen and

we'll go in the game with that kind of attitude and see," Coats said. ''We've got a good group of kids with no quit in them and I told them that this is a chance for us to be heard from Maine to San Diego to Florida to Texas. We'll be heard about all over the - ---country if that happens and after what happened last week in Division 1, it's possible."
