Football players lo<
DORA DEVERA Staff Writer
For the first time since August, Gamecock football
players are taking a break. 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

When he leaves for Estill this afternoon, he wants

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

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."
