Coach Stark's familiar yell fills the lunchroom that doubles each afternoon as a wrestling practice area. Under first year coach Billy Starks, the '85-'86 wrestling team was a tough, scrappy squad. With an overall record ot l'4-5 in the most ditticult conference in the state, the mat men created con- cern whenever they wrestled. They finished the regular season in a tie for third lace in the confer- ence, and then went onto win the Sectional Championship. They took third place in both the East- ern Reqionals and the State Meet. Ricky Strasubaugh led the indi- vidual winners claiming the State Championship in his weight class. Others placing in the state finals were Shawn Minnich who was 4th, Terrence Smith 5th, lames McLeod 6th, and Derrick Allen Qth. Coach Starks has inspired this years team to carry on the win- ning tradition so common to Tro- jan sports. Ready to spring into action, Derrick Allen waits tor the referees whistle to begin the match. A Cape Fear wrestler qrirnaces with pain as Terrence Smith sets up the pin. l 82 Sports

ffl ofo iixt5'?,is9?' art? Disappointment is reflected in the varsity cheerleaders' faces as they watch the awards ceremony alter the State Championship game at Elon College. The girls basketball team lost a close game to finish 42 in the state. You have to be strong to build mounts like these. This mount shows that cheerleaders are indeed athletes. Cl-IEERSI No athletic program would be complete without the spirit and enthusiasm the cheerleaders generate. Unlike most other sports, cheerleading lasts year round. This year's squad was selected in March, 1985. Learning new cheers, building mounts, and making posters started then for the upcoming season. Over the summer the cheerleaders continued practicing and gave the football team a cupcake and kool-aid party, a refreshing treat alter a hard practice. They also sponsored a cheerleading camp tor the DYA at Fort Bragg. With the start ot the school year, the squad was hard at work trying to boost excitement through various activi- ties. Drawing run-throughs, selling spirit ribbons, decorating the locker room, and planning the pep rallies became routine tor them. They also added something to the Homecoming Game as they sold green and gold balloons to be released at kickfotl. As goodwill ambassadors tor the school, they gave a performance at the Fort Bragg Youth Activities Cheerleaders Revue. Immediately after football ended, twice weekly basketball games began. lt wasn't until the end ot March that the otficial cheering season came to a close. During this time the varsity squad man- aged to tit in practice time to put together a routine tor Carowinds competition. lt was then time to select a new squad and start over again. 184 Sports
