2007 NEW 6 Conference Football Schedule Poster due out soon

"ALL ABOARD" - This picture will be the centerpiece of the 2007 NEW 6 Conference Football Schedule poster that will be out very soon and will be handed out by each of the conference's schools. The shot is of two football players from each of the league's six teams (in home and away uniforms) on a locomotive from Nash County Railroad in Rocky Mount.

Thanks go out to Mr. Tim Abbott of the Nash County Railroad who was kind enough to hold his train and crew up for over two hours to get this shot.

Left to right, the players are: Travis Diggs, Fike (68); Rashawn Williams, Northern Nash (23); Jermel Harrell, Nash Central (55); Manual Davis, Rocky Mount (52); James Jenkins, SW Edgecombe (22); Matthew Watson, Southern Nash (50); Kendrick Alston, Nash Central (25); Dajuan Lucas, Fike (2); Raleigh Evans, SW Edgecombe (67); Toncellis Davis, Northern Nash (2); Jacobi Jenkins, Rocky Mount (8); Jesse Mercer, Southern Nash (48).

Harrell, Evans, Watson and Jenkins were named to the All-NEW 6 Football Team last season.
