The change was shattering for Williams, and he was to make of the South a mythic past, an expulsion from Eden...
This odd mixture of hope and disappointment reflects the matmen's uneven season, Crimson coach Johnny Lee said, "We're had too many weak links in the chain this year." he said. "But we've still got some guys who can cut the mustard against anyone...
