Blanks, Locklear set to continue football careers

PEMBROKE — Marlin Locklear and Jojo Blanks both had highly decorated careers during their time on the Purnell Swett football team.
That success has led to the continuation of their football careers at the college level.
Locklear will attend Central Carolina Sports Academy in Greensboro, while Blanks has already enrolled at ASA Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y.
“I went to their graduation party on Saturday and I was just as proud as I could be,” said Rams head coach Mark Heil.
Locklear, a three-time member of the Robesonian’s All-County team and two-time Two Rivers Conference first-team selection, was one of three Purne ll Swett players to rush for over 1,000 yards during the 2008 season.
In a 56-36 win over Pine Forest in Oct. 2008, Locklear rushed for 175 yards on 24 carries, while amassing a school-record six touchdowns.
“He’ll have the opportunity to transfer to a Division II school, maybe Division I-AA,” Heil said. “We feel fortunate that he will be able to attend CCSA, because it just wasn’t working out anywhere else.”
At CCSA, students are given the opportunity to choose between two routes of postgraduate education. They can take the"prep school route and attend classes at the academy, or the junior college route, in which they take classes at a local community college and receive tutoring through the academy.
“Marlin has struggled in the classroom, but he’s such a smart kid,” Heil said. “I know he’ll do fine.”
Blanks was Swett's first player selected to the Shrine Bowl since Western Carolina receiver and former Ram Marquell Pittman was chosen in 2005.
Blanks is a two-time Two Rivers Conference and The Robesonian defensive player of the year.
ASA is an 18-month junior college that offers six intercollegiate programs. The school is adding football for the first time in the fall.
“JoJo has had just such a difficult senior season,” Heil said. “He had the injuries and still was able to come back and help us. Then when he went to the Shrine Bowl, we found out he was hurt again and that he had to have another operation.”
Blanks will be attending ASA on a full scholarship.
“I’m not worried about him one bit,” Heil said. "He has the toughness to handle anything — whether it’s Brooklyn or Afghanistan.
In all, six players from the 2008 Rams team will be playing college fo otball in the fall. Malachi Jacobs, an offensive and defensive lineman, earned a scholarship to Greensboro College, while Matt Locklear will play at Methodist in Fayetteville.
Robert Cole, a wide receiver, plans to walk-on at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Wide receiver D’Anteaus Williams received a full scholarship to play at Livingstone College in Salisbury.
Thanks for reading!


 
2009 Rams Football Schedule
Written by James Mcdougald

Eventhough, it'll be some months away and the next school-year, the Rams have announced their 2009-2010 school-year Football Schedule. The Rams had a strong finish last season and will be looking forward to improve on the 7-5 record from a year ago. This year they will enter a new conference, which is actually an old conference. That will possibly be the Southeastern Conf. The Rams will once again play atleast 8 of the 11 teams that they've played in the past. EE Smith(0-11) and Pine Forest(5-7) of the current Two Rivers will continue to compete against the Rams on the non-conf. schedule. Wilmington Ashley(3-8) and St.Pauls(3-7) has decided to stay on as well. The new comers will be South Robeson(1-9) and Red Springs(5-7). Pinecrest(7-5) will be part of the new conf. but the Rams have played them in the past. Scotland(2-9)
Richmond(12-4),Hoke(4-7), and Lumberton(9-4)
are also part of the new conf. plus they were on the past schedule. The Rams will open @ EE Smith a team that they beat easily. Then the next week vs St.Pauls a good opponent in the home opener. The Rams will travel then to South Robeson, a former opponent. Then back home to play Red Springs for the first time ever. The Red Devils were a playoffs contender last season. Next will be yet another home game vs Pine Forest. The Rams set the school football scoring record(56pts) against the Trojans last season but broke it when they played Cape Fear (63pts). The Rams will then travel to Wilmington Ashley again this year to take on a tough Eagles' team. This will finished up the non-conference opponents and the following week will be an open date before SEC play. The Rams will start out taking on Scotland, a team in which the Rams defeated last season, but should be much improved. Then it's on the road to Rockingham to take on the State 4AA Champs, Richmond. Afterwards they will travel to Pinecrest to play the Patriots whom turned their program around. Then back home for the last two games to avenge losses aganist Hoke and Lumberton. They will be facing 5 teams that were in the state playoffs. It should be an exciting season with alot of returning starters and the Rams will be getting help from the JV team that finished (5-5).
