Chargers slip 2-2-2 in CTH Returning with a team of 18 let- termen, all of whom had started at one time or another during the 1974 season, the Chargers were ex- pected to produce a bright season. Over thirty young men, going through four weeks of grueling practice in the hot August sun, turned even the most pessimistic of fans to dreams of victory. These dreams suffered a severe blow early in the season when the 26 Varsity Football Chargers traveled down to Harnett County. A revenge-minded Lill- ington team blasted the Chargers by a score of 38-20. But the solid defeat wasn't all the misfortune that the Chargers encountered. Starting quarterback Shawn Goins suffered a dislocated shoulder and was sidelined for five games. Defense was a confusing matter for the Chargers. In three games against outside opponents the Chargers yielded 92 points. In play against CTH foes, Northwood regis- tered three shutouts. Running backs Walter Burnette and George Mathews carried the Chargers on the ground. All-CTH receiver Johnny Baldwin led Northwood'S aerial attack. On defense, junior Tim Green and sophomore Sharone Price led the team in tackles and assists.
