While students and fans of Eagle foot- ball enjoyed a summer vacation, the players sweated off holiday fat working out in the grueling August sun. Conditioning was the name of the game during the first couple of weeks and the two-a-day drills. Tired was the name of the game after these drills. While sipping on ice cold cups of Gatorade, the coaches claimed they liked the tremen- dous heat because it forced the players to

The outlook on the ,78 season seemed very optimistic, with the return of some class talent in the passing department and in the defensive backtield.

Next, the Edenton rivalry flame rapidly ignited, but was just as quickly doused by a stingy defense and an over- powering offense. The Eagles' aerial and ground attack rolled along at will, and the unabashed defense held the Aces in a 38-0 romp. A victory is good news, but even better news hit the area during the following week. In their first poll of the year, the Greensboro Daily News rated the Eagles as the number one football team in North Carolina! Varsity Football-Sports 25
