With no game on their weekend agenda, coach Brad Scott and the players are looking forward to a weekend away from the playing field. "I'm looking forward to not having any plans," Scott said. He said this weekend gives him the chance to relax with his wife Daryle and his sons, Jeff, 13, and John, 10. An avid hunter and outdoorsman, Scott hopes to spend his Saturday far away from the gridiron. "Saturday morning, I'll be bird hunting, and Sunday, boating on Clark Lake," he said. His players have their own ideas of relaxation in mind. Elliot Smith, sophomore offensive lineman, said he hasn't been home since July because of summer school and training. "I miss my bed. I miss my dog. I miss my town," Smith said. A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Smith grew ii r ?

When he leaves for Estill this afternoon, he wants to spend time catching up with his father and talking to his brothers. Another offensive lineman, freshman Travis Whitfield, said he will go to the local barbershop to catch up on Honea Path news. "I'm going to get in my car and go to my barbershop so I can talk to eveybody in town and get a haircut," Whitfield said. Whitfield said he hasn't been to his "three-stop lights" town since August, and like his coach, Whitfield plans to spend most of his weekend outdoors. "Just to see some pine trees again," he said. "There's just not enough trees in Columbia." Sophomore running back Marcus Simmons wants to make himself at home in Lake City.

"You're so used to ripping and running all over the place. Ill probably be looking hard to find things to do," Bennett said. "Youll find me nowhere with a ball in my hand."
