Shwedo. A no easy games by Rob Staggenborg staff writer at 3-1 and sitting atop the Continental sports conferences american division Pitburg Barons coach . Shwedo finds his team in familiar territory. Being on top does no to bother Shwedo even if his Oft maligned Barons have had trouble holding onto first place in the past. It does no to matter this season. All teams make the playoffs in the conferences new a feeding frenzy playoff format which invites everyone from first place to the woefully horrible. Its the 3-1 record that has Shwedo troubled. A a we re really bracing ourselves because last year we were 3-1. Two weeks later we were 3-3,�?� he said. His Barons face 3-1 Wiesbaden on sunday in a Battle of division leaders. A i walked into the practice room monday and heard people talking about the 3-1 record. I said a guess what record we had last year at exactly the same Point in the season yes 3-1.�?T you could be heard a pin drop in that the Barons came into the game on the heels of a 22-7 Victory Over sem Bach the tigers Only loss this season. Pitburg s improvement stems largely from Shwedo a former air Force Academy player who does no to merely expect near perfection but a coach who demands it. After beating Span Dahlem in the first week of the season 31-19, the Barons were pounded by Rhein main 21-7 on aug. 10. After that game the second year Csc coach joked that the loss was his fault because a i got football players who could read half jokingly he said he banned his players from Reading the sports Section. A we had big Heads after that Spang game and we thought we were just going to walk into Rhein main and win hands though Pitburg stands atop the american division while Rhein main Spang Halem and Ramstein a perennial Csc powerhouses a have sunk to .500, Shwedo Isnit counting any team out and any team in a including his own a right now the Only team i worry about is Wiesbaden and that a a lot to worry about. Looking at them on film they look Good. Its not the same Wiesbaden team at All. Its kind of scary. I guess they cleared every army base in Wiesbaden. A we know we re in a who Are the Barons they re not a passing team by any Means. Quarterback Blake Wilson is ranked last in the Csc completing Only 6 of 27 for just 19 Yards. Running Back Melvin Reid anchors Shwedo a Wishbone along with Don Taylor. Reid is the conferences third Best rusher compiling 279 Yards on 50 carries. Only Hahn a Bobby Pierce and Sembach a Ryan Gates Are better. Taylor is the Csc a eight Best rusher Rushing for 153 Yards on 50 carries. Wilson the no 7 runner in the league went out last week in the first Quarter. Tyrone Sims a wide receiver came out of the bullpen and tossed a pair of to strikes. Shwedo said Sims will Start against Wiesbaden. A we list Sims As a wide receiver but he a been our second quarterback from the Start of the season a Shwedo said. Whether the Barons can keep More tallies in the a a we column than the a a la column remains to be seen. A there Are no easy games at All this season a Shwedo said. A a it a almost scary. Its really been bothering me. A people Are saying a Well there a always even a Oesterberg a playing Good football. They May not have won yet but just look at the a Oesterberg a scoring. They re going to upset someone this season. A i just Hope its not
