When the school doors opened on August 31, the search was on to find a new leader of the pack. Mr. Daniel Avent, Assistant Superintendent, step¬ ped in and helped in organizing the first of the year details for the Bulldog family until the school board appointed Mr. Bobby Browder as Acting Principal. To many students, especially those who skipped school occasionally, Mr. Bobby Browder, the visiting teacher, was a familiar face. However, those who have never suffered from “school sickness’’ probably had not met him before. During his stay, he, Mr. Gerald Burke, Mr. Tenus, Thompson, and the dedicated secretaries worked together and produced a very successful school opening. (Continued on Page 62) Mr. Bobby Browder, secondary visiting teacher, ar¬ rives to assume his duties as Acting Principal. Andrea Anderson gets ready for her next test by quizzing Shirley Adams and JoAnn Penn to see if they agree with her answers.

Opening 3 Elated parents and guests looked on as their loved ones marched out on the football field for the commencement exercises. 161 Receive Diplomas The 1981 graduates filed out on the football field and awaited the moment when they would receive their diplomas. Graduation speaker, Reverend H. James Ellis of Spring Hill Baptist Church, chose as his topic “Missions and Mountains.” He reminded candidates to continue working hard to meet their goals. He stated, ’’Life is the greatest school of all, and either we pass or fail. Nothing in life is ever too hard to achieve.” Giving the invocation and the benediction was Reverend Nolton W. Turner of Lawrenceville Baptist Church. Miss Sandra Mays, valedictorian, addressed her classmates with the theme, “A Better World For All,” and Ola R. Mallory, salutatorian, chose as her topic, “Now It Can Be Told.” Dr. William T. Powell, principal, gave special recognition to scholarship recipients and Mr. J. Grady Martin, superinten¬ dent, presented the diplomas. He was assisted by the school board chairman, Mr. Richmond H. Dugger. Ola Mallory, salutatorian, addresses the platform guests, parents, teachers, and fellow graduates and points out her drive for a successful future. Special Events The candidates patiently await the moment when they are declared BSHS graduates. Graduation 5 I I HI Mil I Mil IIIWI— «!■ A Night in the Orient Tammy Nelson looks on with enthusiasm as the other dancers enjoy the music of Disco Pat. The Junior-Senior Prom created its background in an Oriental fashion. Mrs. Barbara Leemon and Ms. Deborah Wilkinson, sponsors of the junior class, worked hard along with a small group of students to create this successful event, which more than 150 were in attendance. The Juniors selected a disc jockey, Disco Pat, for this most memorable event. These couples seem to enjoy each others’ com¬ pany as well as the activity on the floor. 6 Junior-Senior Prom Bernie Coleman and Terry Wyatt and their dates take a rest from the dance floor. One couple carry on a conversation, while the other couples enjoy a little slow dancing. Phyllis Callis and Michael Mitchell seem to be saying “It’s time to relax.” Junior-Senior Prom 7 Writing Skills Pay Off Big Following the Rotary Club ceremony, Walter O’Neil Mc- Clenney, the first place winner, and his sponsor, Mrs. Virginia Vaughan, discussed some ways to invest their money. Eager to demonstrate their writing abilities, several students filed applications and entered the Free Enterprise Essay Contest sponsored by the Lawrenceville Rotary Club. The broad topic was “The American Free Enterprise System.’’ All coun¬ ty students were eligible to participate. After many hours of concentration, research, organization, and typing, participants met the deadline and submitted final copies of their papers to the principal who forwarded them to local judges. The finalists were selected by judges from VPIandSU. Capturing first place for his essay entitled “The Metamorphosis of the Free Enterprise System,’’ was Walter O’Neil McClenney, who received a plaque and a $100 check. His sponsor, Mrs. Virginia Vaughan, also received a check for $100 and a plaque from the Rotary Club. Third place winner was Sandra Mays. She, along with her sponsor, Mrs. Barbara Evans received a plaque and $50 each. Another winner from BSHS was Sherry Watkins who received honorable mention, a $10 check and a plaque. Her sponsor, Ms. Linda Hirvonen, also received $10. These students found out that writing can become a lucrative business. 8 Contest Winners Third Place Winner, Sandra Mays, and her sponsor, Mrs. Barbara Evans, tried to decide how much to spend for the 1981 Cotillion. Sherry Watkins and Ms. Linda Hirvonen discussed their plans for next year’s contest. Contest Winners 9 Drama Student in Action Dining and Communicating Culminating Speeches for Special Occasions, are Drama I and II students at a Brunch which they planned, prepared, served, and enjoyed.

National Honor Society FBLA 13 UVA Coach Visits BSHS The special feature of the annual Sports Ban¬ quet was the speaker, UVA’s Assistant basketball Coach, Craig Littlepage, who played a major role in leading the Virginia Cavaliers to the 1980-81 NCAA East Regional Championship. Coach Littlepage spoke on “A commitment to Excellence.” He urged the students to learn the following lessons both on and off the playing field: — never give up. — overcome obstacles. — Use criticism for something positive. — Believe in yourself and your teammates. — Be willing to sacrifice. — Show your enthusiasm and spread something good around. During his speech, he gave the athletes some valuable tips on sports being a good vehicle for learning discipline. As the recipients received their awards for outstanding performance in the various sports, the gleam in Littlepage’s eyes revealed his desire to recruit some of our most talented players for the Cavaliers’ teams.

Debate 21 Season Ends Even, 5-5 One of the best and closest games of the season was the first one against Randolph-Henry. The game ended with a 11-10 score and the Lady Bulldogs rejoiced over their team effort and the first win of the season. Unfortunately the Lady Bulldogs were defeated by their next two opponents: Bluestone and Not¬ toway. Then the Lady Bulldogs hit a winning streak and were victorious over their next three op¬ ponents. The table turned and the Lady Bulldogs lost the next two games and the last one of the season to their opponents, they ended the season with a 5-5 record. With more practice and determination the Lady Bulldogs are anticipating their best season in ’82.

Bulldogs on the Diamond The 1981 Edition of the Bulldogs baseball team had a less than average season as they posted a (5- 8) record. Under the direction of a new coach the Bulldogs were a spunky and determined team. The team had high hopes for a successful season, though it could have been better the Bulldogs were still successful in the eyes of the fans and the surrounding community. i Gaston Baseball Record: 5-8 BSHS 16 Opp. 6 Gaston 8 0 Central-Lunenburg 2 3 Randolph-Henry 2 10 Bluestone 5 3 Nottoway 0 7 Greensville 3 5 Park View 7 2 Randolph-Henry 9 10 Bluestone 12 5 Nottoway 1 4 Greensville 0 3 Park View 0 3 24 Baseball Coach Tuffy Leemon calls for a break in the action to confer with his catcher Mike Gibson.

Not only had the Bulldogs lost their first track meet against Greensville and Randolph-Henry but, they dropped all eight meets to their opponents, ending the season with 0-8 record. Despite the outstanding performance of team members Karen Taylor, Melvin Walker and Jimmy Kel¬ ly that broke many school records, it was not enough to win the district championship. Seniors Karen Taylor and Jimmy Kelly, returning veterans, along with the remainder of the ’81 team, are looking forward to a great season with Coach Dale Mims.

Their winning this match put them in regional competition which they lost in the first round of the regional. Bulldogs return with eight lettermen only losing one to graduation.

Turn to Channel BSHS Before channeling our interests into new sta¬ tions, let us view some of the events from our past. Upon our arrival here in the fall of ’79, we quickly realized that BSHS was not paradise after all. The snacks were not free; the food did not taste like a Big Mac; the halls were not as warm and as cozy as they had appeared; and the teachers — Boy, did we have to hit the books! Our first homecoming was almost like Christmas with everyone in a festive mood. Bizarre outfits, paper napkins, colorful posters, paper streamers, spray paint, and confusion dominated the homecoming week. How we produced our first float is still a mystery. It was obvious that our spon¬ sors aged five years during that one week. Some of the guys and girls fell into sports and others fell in love. In both areas there were many defeats and victories. By the end of the year, we had matured considerably and emerged as dignified juniors. Our junior year produced a state beauty queen, several outstanding basketball, football, track, ten¬ nis, and baseball players, proud automobile owners, and many academic achievers. We con¬ tinued to produce the best of everything, from honor students to athletes, from business students to tradesmen. We were on our way. The junior- senior prom with its oriental theme highlighted the year. The decorations were beautiful, the girls were breathtaking, and the guys were really handsome. It was amazing what a well-fitted tuxedo did for just a regular guy. Finally, we became seniors. Then we sat on the auditorium steps and looked down our noses at the underclassmen. Before we knew it, time had come for us to . . . Oops! The tape broke.

Seniors Must Find the Answers The present state of the economy prompts seniors to take a serious look at how the slashing, trimming, and squeezing of various federal pro¬ grams will affect them. For those anticipating a col¬ lege career, some find themselves in a dilemma because of the limited financial assistance available now that Reagonomics prevails. The few who still qualify for aid or those who can afford the rising costs of a college education are still puzzled as to the job opportunities that will be open to them once they graduate from college. Four years from now, what will the job market be like for the students pursuing careers as social workers? Will there even be a social service depart¬ ment in existence by that time? What about those who plan to become classroom teachers? Will the budget for education be streamlined to the point of non-existent public schools but computer centers for only those families who could afford them.

SCA President James Hancock promises to make our stay here more pleasant. He first speaks out against the tardy policy. It is his opinion that by counting a student’s tardies to school after homeroom as one of the four tardies to homeroom for which he can be suspended, unjustifiably penalizes the student for getting to school late instead of skipping out all day. Whether he will succeed in getting this changed remains to be seen; however, he can really be convincing. He also wants to see some changes in the procedures for permitting students to use the library during lunch periods. KEITH GREEN: National Honor Society, Math Science Club, SCA, TAG. Reagonomics Vs.

Seniors Must Find the Answers Continued Now for those who plan a career in technology, what avenues will be open to them? Is the technological industry going to become stagnant, closing its doors to American engineers? Will Americans become totally dependent on foreign imports? What about becoming pilots in the technological world? Will they go by the way of the air controllers? Then there are some seniors who prefer to stay in their home county and become successful farmers. What about agribusiness? How will it af¬ fect the small farmer? “Have 1,000 acres, will farm!’’ Seniors Karen Taylor’s, Alicia Fields’, and Ivory Jones ' leadership qualities were evident in athletics as well as other areas as these three were instrumental in leading the Lady Bulldogs to a District Championship.

Seniors Barbara Jarrett, Rachel Powell, and Jacqueline Pearson found themselves faced with both copy due for the annual deadline and homecoming preparations in the same week, and somehow made it through the week without cracking up. Seniors Must Find the Answers Continued Some may even be attracted to the bonds of matrimony. Can you afford it? A home. Can you cope with the surging interest rates? Children. Can you afford to even have children? When they reach school age, will the costs for sending them to elementary school be equivalent to that now re¬ quired for college tuition? Making wise choices is the answer. The seniors’ best solution for overcoming the existing problems is to analyze what is, anticipate what may be, and master what has to be done.

Kenneth Adams, Keith Green, and Jimmy Kelly are all smiles as they rejoice over being selected to attend Boys’ State at Lynchburg College. Getting Insight on Government Three delegates, Kenneth Adams, Keith Green, and Jimmy Kelly attended the 39th Session of the American Legion Boys’ State of Virginia, Inc., held at Lynchburg College, in Lynchburg, Virginia, the week of June 14-20, 1981. Boys’ State, a short concentrated and dynamic course in citizenship and government, is organized by the American Legion. Each participant was challenged to accept the future demands of an ac¬ tive, responsible, and knowledgeable citizen. Delegates to Boys’ State were outstanding high school students from over the state of Virginia. Visiting and working with these delegates were outstanding men in government, education, business and other occupations, such as the head football coach of the University of Arkansas Razor- backs, Lou Holtz, Lt. Governor Charles Robb, and Attorney General Marshall Coleman. Under the guidance of the Legionnaire Counselors, the delegates held caucuses, con¬ ducted campaigns, and elected officials to organize and set up mythical city and state govern¬ ments. Elected to the House of Delegates of the Virginia General Assembly were Kenneth Adams and Jimmy Kelly. While acting out the roles of delegates to the General Assembly, we witnessed the actual law making process. Our experiences at Boys’ State even made us think seriously about our own future careers in politics. Queen Travels to Indiana Fun at 4-H Congress John Perkinson attended the State 4-H Electric Congress that was held at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond this summer. The program was sponsored by Vepco and par¬ ticipants were selected based on achievement and leadership. During his stay he participated in many activities such as dances, lectures, tours of the North Anna Nuclear Plant and Phillip Morris and a trip to Kings Dominion. During the summer of 1981, Audree Jolly traveled to Gary, Indiana to the National Miss Black Teenage World Pageant. This all expense paid trip was a result of her participating in the na¬ tional pageant in Chicago the previous year. Her duty in Indiana was to be the escort for Miss Black Teenage World 1980 and to be the youth spokesperson for the pageant. Television, radio and speaking appearances highlighted the two week stay in Gary. She spoke before the mayor of the city, Richard Hatcher, and other dignitaries, met national personalities, Adam Wade and Kellee Patterson, and worked with the professional production staff of the Olympic Broadcasting System. She also made several trips to Chicago’s O’Hare Airport with the reigning queen to meet the state queens upon their arrival. m ' AmznuMDnw I { Seniors Karen Taylor and Jim¬ my Kelly are just two of the outstanding performers on the BSHS Track Team.

You could hear such remarks as: “I am scared,” ‘‘Will I find the right room?” ‘‘I feel like a lost child at a circus,” ‘‘How will I get past this traffic jam?” ‘‘I feel like I am starting school all over again,” ‘‘This is going to be a long day.” The sophomores finally made it to homeroom, schedules were checked for the correct room assignment, student handbooks, register forms, lunch applications, insurance forms, bus regula¬ tions, and locker assignments were issued to each student. Now the fun began for everyone except the sophomores who were going to be late for their first class. Break is over, there is no help from the juniors or seniors; ask directions to the gym, only to end up in one of the bathrooms. The sophomores soon learned that being late for class meant in school suspension or a holiday home that was not in the school’s calendar. Despite the first day getting lost bit, new teachers, new classes, and new subjects, the sophomores found out that these changes re¬ quired a lot of adjusting, but with the ups and downs of being a sophomore, things had a way of falling into place after a few rough days. 56 Sophomores - « Michael Cheely Kenneth Claiborne Mark Clarke Randy Clary Timothy Cliborne Casper Coleman Andre Cooper Joseph Coleman Annette Craig Lisa Currier Lorenzo Davis Charles Drumgold Stella Dugger William Easter Catherine Edwards Silas Edwards Katherine Elder Belinda Evans Melissa Finch Deborah Fisher Kenneth Fisher Allison Fletcher Cheryl Fletcher Gary Gaines Robert Gaitor Timothy Games James Gee Roxanne Gee Jacqueline Gholson Patricia Gholson Ricky Gholson Everette Gibson Jon Gibson William Gibson Sharon Gillus Gladys Goodrich Arthur Gordon Della Graves Delvin Graves Vonda Graves Donald Green James Green Melinda Green Frances Gregory Julie Hall Juliette Hall James Hardy Elvis Harrell Sophomores 57 p Charvioleyette Hart Michael Headspeth Jacqueline Hicks Elaine Hill Calvin House Alisa Jackson Cynthia Jackson Marlene James Joel Johnson Eric Jones John Jones Lucretia Jones Melissa Jones Pamela Jones Sheila Jones Timothy Jones Yvette Jones John Kelly Danny Kidd Earl King Sarah Knight Alma Lambert Darlene Lewis Preston Lewis Timothy Lightbourne Paula Lofton Albert Lucy Bernard Lucy Donna Lynch Barbara Mallory Stacy Malone Denise Mallory Georgetta Marks Ronnie Mayo John McFarland Floyd Moore Theresa Morefield Thomas Moorman Brenda Moseley Janice Moseley Randall Moseley Betty Murphy Johnny Newton Lisa Newton Maude Owens Cleve Packer James Palmer Marie Parham 58 Sophomores Sophomore contestants Belinda Evans and • Alisa Jackson cannot believe the crowd that came out to watch the homecoming parade.

Sophomores 61 Who Will Lead the Pack? (Continued from Page 2) After much deliberation, the school board handed down its decision, and we learned that Mr. Dale Baird, the Guidance Counselor, was to become our new principal. Before his move to the main office, the painters worked diligently freshening up the murky walls and woodwork. They also freshened up the walls in the teachers’ lounge and workroom. It wasn’t long before the transition period ended and Mr. Dale Baird began to adjust to the new position, make necessary changes, and find solutions to some of our pro¬ blems. Before the year was over, the students had begun to trust and respect him so much that they even signed away their right to getting a quick peck on the cheek between classes. The harmony that now exists here makes getting an educa¬ tion more enjoyable. mrs. linda pearson mra. priscilla Vincent administrative secretary office manager bookkeeper top: mr. dale baird principal center: mr. gerald burke assistant principal administration bottom: mr. tenus thompson assistant principal general 62 Administrators Secretaries mr. kurt harrup guidance counselor mrs. marian russell guidance counselor mrs. marian barnes remedial reading mrs. bonnie bridgers learning disabilities mr. earl byrd industrial arts ms.

The faculty and administration could not send her off to her office downtown without showing her how much her work here was ap¬ preciated. During a workday all faculty members, administrators, and staff gave a promotion farewell luncheon in her honor. Members of the central office staff were also present. For her work as ticket seller, Mr. Gerald Burke presented her enough tickets to athletic events to last for a lifetime along with a BSHS Bulldog jacket to keep her warm. From the English Department, Mrs. Ruby Short, acting Chairperson, gave her a lovely floral arrangement that re¬ quired a minimum of care. It was a known fact that Mrs. Barbara Wilson did not have a green thumb. She also received a nameplate for her desk from the administration.

' ' ■ .fv . ' • j . ■ ..•a , -r-X ' «- V ' x In the month of January Brunswick County was left paralyzed by a severe snow and ice storm. It was a joy to hear the radio announcer, Mr. Rich Clary say, “There will be no school in Brunswick County today!’’ Hurray! A snow day at home meant watching soap operas, lounging around listening to music, reading a good book, building a snowman, or just plain doing nothing. However, after eight days of no school all forms of recreation had been com¬ pletely exhausted and cabin fever prevailed. How we longed to see those school buses roll again. (Continued on Page 72) Student Life An unexpected snow caught everyone by surprise in January. Getting out of school was only half the fun; the rest was staying out for eight straight days. Samuel Jackson and Gerald Taylor look as if they want to throw a little snow at the photographer. Student Life 71 Easter in January Sharon Green doesn’t look as if she wants to be thrown into the snow by Kenneth Adams. (Continued from Page 70) When the snow was finally cleared and school re-opened, we discovered that there would be little or no Easter vacation this year and according to a bulletin from Mr. Freddie Reekes, graduation would probably be held on July 4. 72 Student Lite When the snow, ice, and sleet blanketed the county the majority of the roads were in dangerous conditions. Most people preferred to stay home and out of the cold unless in case of emergencies.

This year, as in the past, the SCA sponsored a host of suc¬ cessful Homecoming activities. The SCA would like to have some new policy changes under the sponsorship of Mrs. Julia Jones and Mr. Alfred Wright, the SCA set out to make some changes in the fifteen day atten¬ dance policy. They zeroed in on the four tardies to homeroom. Another area of concern was the sign-up policy to enter the library during lunch periods. Students are expecting these changes to go in¬ to effect during the 1982-83 school year.

The art club gave students a chance for self-expression, whether it was writing, drawing, or painting.

Students decided the best way to promote it is to show it — and they did, by par¬ ticipating in Homecoming ac¬ tivities, parades, attending dances, and cheering at sporting events. The varsity cheerleaders stir up the crowd with th eir cheers, whether they are in a pep rally, on the football field, at a basketball game, or on a car riding down Main Street in the Homecoming parade. 82 Color Guards Varsity Cheerleaders In the opening moments of the Homecoming parade, Drum major i John Perkinson leads the majoret¬ tes down Hicks Street.

The students had the opportunity to put a lot of themselves into the characters they portrayed. Some things never change, like the excited feeling one gets in the pit of one’s stomach during his first performance on stage.

Band, Choir, Culture 89 Work, Work and More Work The work that goes into a yearbook may seem to be no more than a simple matter of writing and proofing articles, taking pictures, designing layouts, compiling and organizing copy, and, above all, meeting those deadlines, but in truth, the time and effort spent go much farther than that. Work for this yearbook began early September and continued right up to the time of distribution with m any endless hours of work and thought put into it. We worked hard to put together a yearbook that the student body will like. It doesn’t matter if we win an award; we just want the student body to be proud of our product. Their acceptance will be the greatest award of all. We hope that our many efforts, our tired pa¬ tience, and our months of preparation will be rewarded by a student body which will be proud of our 1982 BRUNSWICK. Co-editors Jimmy Kelly and Barbara Jarrett work diligently on layouts for the various sections of the yearbook.

However, among the midst of gloom there was one source of hope for seniors — exemption. Those seniors who had “goofed off” the previous 90 days would have to suf¬ fer the consequences, while those who had maintained at least a 3.0 average for the first semester could deservingly resume their state of hibernation. Sophomores and juniors — that’s life. There is hope for you in the spring. Keep your average up!

Congressman Daniels announces to the students his support of President Reagan’s economic policy, increase in defense, price control for farmers, and federal supplements to college students. Principal Dale Baird listens attentively while Congressman Robert Daniels answers questions from the audience. ABOVE: These students spend a few relaxful moments after completing a major test.

Reasons for categorizing these courses as favorites vary. Art is special after periods of required classes because it is relaxing to make or draw something even if it takes nine weeks or a semester to complete the task. (Continued on Page 104) Lisa Mahanes is concentrating on line work while she paints a mural on the art room wall.

Since most girls and boys dream of becoming movie stars, what better place to start than in a drama class. From the way the economy is headed, learning as much as possible about farming may be the best solution for a profitable future, so it is obvious why agriculture has become a favorite. When scheduling time arrives, there is no more twisting of arms to take electives, but for most, “the cup runneth over.’’ Typing provides the opportunity for Janice Elder and Isaac Thompson to learn business skills for future jobs, while still in the classroom. 108 Academics Accounting students get ready to analyze and journalize business transactions.

Athletics Divider 111 1981 Lady Bulldogs (20-2) Southside District Champions (continued on page 115) Betty Murphy is unable to take this rebound away from the Bluestone Baronette. The Brunswick Lady Bulldogs completed the greatest season in the history of girls basketball at Brunswick Senior High School this year. Coming off a (9-5) record in 1980 (the first winning season in 8 years) the Lady Bulldogs exceeded all expectations when they finished the season with 20 wins and only 2 losses. Included in the season was the Championship of the Goochland Invita¬ tional Tournament; Southside District Regular Season Championship; Southside District Tourna¬ ment Championship; Semi-Finalist in the Regional Tournament. All of these were the first in the history of the school and along the way the Lady Bulldogs established 20 school records in girls basketball. Under the coaching of Coach Freddie Reekes the Lady Bulldogs featured an aggressive pressing defense coupled with devastating fast break of¬ fense. This was most evid ent as they averaged a winning margin of over 24 points a game. A major factor in the team’s success was the hard work, dedication, desire to excel, and intensity with which this team played. Each player accepted the designated role and responsibility she was given and the final record was certainly a team effort. Also the support of the student body, faculty, and administration played a key role in this year’s success. There were many outstanding individual efforts for the Lady Bulldogs. A major factor was the leadership of the Lady Bulldogs captains: Alicia Fields, Flossie Stokes, and Renita Wilson. Alicia was the only senior starter and for the third year was the team’s leading scorer. She was also selected to the All-District Team and the All- Regional Team. Flossie, a junior was the second leading scorer for the second year and was named All-District Tournament. Renita also a junior was the superb point guard for the Lady Bulldogs that ran the offense and did all the ball handling chores. She was named to the All-District and All- Tournament Teams for her efforts. Antoinette Peebles shoots two right over two Statesmans in a game against Randolph-Henry. 112 Girls ' Basketball Girls ' Basketball 1981 Record: 20-2 BSHS Opp. Randolph-Henry 56 35 Park View 68 16 Amelia 85 5 Prince Edward 57 32 Goochland 49 35 Amelia 85 14 Prince Edward 60 33 Prince Edward 54 25 Park View 55 36 Bluestone 57 30 Nottoway 53 61 Greensville 56 14 Randolph-Henry 49 43 Park View 69 39 Bluestone 47 40 Nottoway 41 38 Greensville 57 36 Randolph-Henry 59 31 SOUTHSIDE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Randolph-Henry 54 23 Nottoway 48 46 REGIONAL TOURNAMENT John Yeats 50 46 Manchester 47 54 Alicia Fields ...

Those two had outstanding years in their first year of varsity com¬ petition and should be even better next year. As is the case with all highly successful teams, the Lady Bulldogs had the best bench support ever in the history of the school. Senior Karen Taylor and juniors Selena Gilliam and Margaret Macklin came off the bench on many occasions to relieve the starters and played important roles in the total success of the team. Also Senior Ivory Jones and juniors Venita Barner and Deborah Lambert provided even more additional bench strength during the season. Their in¬ dividual efforts within a team concept was the for¬ mula to the championship season. Although 1981 certainly will be a season to be remembered in girls’ basketball — 1982 could be even better. There is only one senior started (Alicia Fields) and only two other seniors (Karen Taylor and Ivory Jones) on the team. These three will be greatly missed; however, four starters and four reserves will be back next year. Therefore this year’s experience and hard work again could put The Lady Bulldogs within the reach of the State Tournament. That would climax a great three year progression — 1980 (9-5 first winning season); 1981 (20-2 District Champions); 1982 — State Tournament — Let’s hope it happens.

Girls ' Basketball 115 Table Turns on the Bulldogs The 1981 Bulldog football season turned out to be rather disappointing after three victories which started the season off. Inexperience and the lack of offensive power when needed served as an an¬ chor to keep the Bulldogs down. Even though morale was high throughout the season, it just wasn’t enough in the end. Next year the Bulldogs will have some very talented and capable lettermen returning. With help from Tuffy Leemon and his staff, the Bulldogs have an excellent chance to put together a winning season. Season ends with three Bulldogs named to All- District First Team: halfback Alfred McGeachy, linebacker Leo Clary and end Michael Wood. All- District Second Team: Grady Posey, and All- District Honorable Mention Rusty McCombs. Henry Clary picks up needed yards for a first down against Central of Lunen¬ burg, as several Bulldog players look on.

In the 25 to 6 victory over Prince Ed¬ ward, Alfred McGeachy breaks away for a 93 yards touchdown and earned the nickname “Greyhound.” After catching a pass, Michael Wood (6) looks to be having a little trouble turning the corner, although he picked up 20 yards before being taken down by three of Randolph-Henry players.

Football 117 Leo Clary (42) drives down the lane and pumps in two in a victory over the Central Chargers. The Dynasty Remains Intact The Bulldogs opened the season against a strong opponent, Saint Paul’s junior varsity. Although the Bulldogs lost 81-78 they demonstrated they were capable against a much larger and more seasoned team. The outer district games gave the Bulldogs a record of 5 wins and 3 losses. Outside of the loss to Saint Paul’s the only high school to defeat the Bulldogs was the Crimson Wave of Petersburg, a consistent AAA power in the state. In district competition the Bulldogs displayed the ability to take complete control of games and also had the capability to come from behind for important wins, especially against Bluestone and Greensville. The two games against Greensville were the highlights of the season as Greensville defeated the Bulldogs at home 59-57 with a basket with two seconds left in the game. Brunswick returned the favor at Greensville when Tyrone Golatt hit a shot at the buzzer to beat Greensville 45- 43 and put the Bulldogs in the driver’s seat for the regular season title. (Continued on Page 120) The Nottoway Cougars seem to have a hand on this one, but Grady Posey and the Bulldogs got the last laugh as they defeated the Cougars. 118 Varsity Basketball Varsity Basketball Record: 14-4 BSHS OPP Saint Paul’s 78 81 Central 58 56 Prince Edward 79 54 Park View 77 58 Prince Edward 76 50 Bluestone 77 62 Central 73 55 Nottoway 74 57 Greensville 57 59 Bluestone 70 63 Nottoway 75 60 Greensville 45 43 Randolph-Henry 78 55 Petersburg 67 81 Park View 68 52 Petersburg 56 61 Amelia 65 52 Randolph-Henry 69 51 TOP: Sophomore John Thompson soars high for this rebound in a (55- 57) victory over the Central Chargers.

(Continued from Page 118) There were other individual highlights as Ronnie Posey hit a shot at the buzzer to defeat Central and John Thompson had a 32 point and 18 rebound game against a strong Nottoway team. Although these and other individual achievements were present this year it was the team concept that made this group of young players the champions they were. Each player had a role to fill and because they were able to accept this responsibility the Brunswick dynasty continues. The 1981-82 edition of the Brunswick Bulldogs continued to dominate Southside District basketball as they captured their seventh consecutive district championship with a district record of 9-1. Under the direction of Coaches Gerald Burke and Freddie Reekes this year’s team again ex¬ hibited a tenacious defense and a high powered offense which averaged over 70 points per game.

Varsity Basketball 121 J.V.’s Maintain Record Under the leadership of Coach Dale Mims, who is coaching basketball for the first time in the school system, the junior varsity has made an impressive showing in the district. Practice was an everyday event for most of the players from 3:30 until 4:30. And there was no trying to avoid it — everyone had to dress-out! The J.V. players put a lot of work in this year, with a well organized starting line-up and good help from the bench we main¬ tained our record of 9-7. The hustle, pride, and a desire to improve will surely benefit the team in the coming year. TOP: This battle between a Brunswick and Nottoway player seems to have been won by Nottoway, but the J.V.

The 1981-82 edition of the Bulldogs were no exception as they captured their seventh con¬ secutive district title and thus entered the District Tournament as the top seeded team. Also the regular season title gave the Bulldogs a spot in the regionals, however first was the district tournament where they had to prove again they were the class of the league and one of the best in recent memory to wear the blue and white of Brunswick. The Southside District Tournament was held at Park View for the second year and the Bulldogs would have to prove they were deserving of the regular season title on a neutral floor rather than the cozy confines of the “Doghouse” at Brunswick. The tournament featured four teams with exceptional talent and probably the strongest field of teams in many years. Brunswick was match¬ ed against an excellent Nottoway team in the semifinals and faced the difficult task of defeating them for the third time this season. (Continued on Next Page) Special supplement to the 1982 BRUNSWICK in recognition of the outstanding basketball season displayed by the 1982 Brunswick Senior High Basketball Team. District Tournament (Continued) The Bulldogs were equal to challenge as they came away with a 57-47 victory behind a 23 point performance by John Thompson and 14 points from Grady Posey. The other semifinal game saw Bluestone defeat Greensville and thus for the fourth time in the last five years the Barons and the Bulldogs were to decide the tournament title. Again the Bulldogs were faced with the task of defeating a good team for the third time in the same season. The title game had all the excitement a basketball fan could ask for as both teams gave an excellent effort and the final outcome was a 70-68 Brunswick victory and also momentum going into the regional play-offs.

Again the Brunswick representation was the largest in the district as Tyrone Golatt, John Thompson, and Grady Posey were selected to the All District Team. The All Tournament Team was no exception as Tyrone Golatt and John Thompson were selected to that team and Grady Posey was selected as the Most Valuable Player for the second straight year. REGION I TOURNAMENT With the Southside District titles in hand the Bulldogs now attempted to climb that ladder which would take them to Charlottesville and a shot at that elusive State Championship. By virtue of their District title the Bulldogs played the first regional game before the home crowd at Brunswick against John F. Kennedy of Suffolk. The Kennedy game was to be the most significant game of the regionals for the Bulldogs as they faced an extremely talented, aggressive, and much larger team than they had faced the entire season. The large crowd was treated to a hotly contested and evenly matched game that saw the lead ex¬ changed many times. A free throw from Ronald Posey with 12 seconds remaining gave the Dogs a 60-58 lead. Those last 12 seconds were the longest of the year as Kennedy took four shots from close range and when the last rolled off the rim and the buzzer sounded to end the game a tremendous victory was in hand. Two nights later the Bulldogs played host to Tabb that had previously defeated the top ranked team in the Regional, Colonial Heights. Unlike Ken¬ nedy, Tabb featured the quickest team the Bulldogs had faced all year. Again the Dogs rose to the task at hand and gave the overflow crowd the game of the year as they raced to a 85-72 victory. Grady Posey provided the individual highlights of the game as he set a post season school record when he scored 36 points including 18 in the final quarter. Also helping in the scoring was senior guard David Wyatt who contributed 16 points. (Continued on Next Page) Senior guard David Wyatt (30) drives baseline for 2 points in District Finals. Region I Tournament (Continued) Brunswick’s “Human Erasers” John Thompson and Grady Posey block this Bluestone scoring attempt. The next night provided the Dogs with the chance to do something that had not been done since 1963. A win over York would give them a trip to the State Play-Offs in Charlot¬ tesville. Not only was this a game the team was looking forward to, but just as importantly was the fans of Bulldog basketball as they wanted to go to the State Championship also. Before an overflow and turn away crowd that was the largest in 20 years the Dogs were ready. In York they faced a team which had defeated them last year here at Brunswick and the Dogs needed to correct that situation. The Ronald Posey (32) and Tyrone Golatt (10) stop Bluestone fast break in District Finals. first half was played with a very slow tempo and saw Brunswick take a 18-14 halftime lead to the locker room. In the second half the Bulldogs got their running game in gear and raced to a 53-38 victory and that trip to Charlot¬ tesville which was so long coming. Instrumental in the vic¬ tory were the scoring of Tyrone Golatt and David Wyatt and the 18 rebound performance of John Thompson. Also the all around fine play of Grady and Ronald Posey were important factors. 140 (Continued on Next Page) Grady Posey soars for 2 points in Regional victory over Kennedy 60-58. (Continued) The win gave the Bulldogs their first ever regional championship and a trip to Charlot¬ tesville for the State Finals. The team’s play in the regionals was outstanding to say the least and all the players and coaches said the real key was the support they received from the student body and the community itself. Not only was the basketball team go¬ ing to Charlottesville — Brunswick County was going to Charlottesville. STATE FINAL FOUR — CHARLOTTESVILLE The Bulldogs opponent in the State Semifinals was the Region IV Champion — Marion High School. The Scarlet Hurricane was the only undefeated team in the state with a 25-0 record and they were led by a 6 ' 10 center that had been averaging 28 points a game. With their record they were picked to defeat the Bulldogs. However, games are not won or lost on paper — it must be done on the floor. And on the floor at University Hall in Charlottesville was where it took place. Over a thousand fans took to the road that Friday morning to lend their support to the Bulldogs. Their effort was not in vain as the Dogs overcame the nerves of the game and pulled out a 45-43 victory in overtime despite not playing as well as they were capable. A Tyrone Golatt jumpshot with one second left (just as he had done against Greensville in district play) was the game winner and sent the Bulldogs into the State Finals against defending State Cham¬ pion Martinsville who ironically was called the Bulldogs as well.

State Final Four — Charlottesville (Continued) The State Championship game was a game of beauty as both teams showed they were the class of state high school basketball. Martinsville set a state record in shooting 80 percent for the first half and 70 percent for the game in defeating the Brunswick squad 92-77. Brunswick on the other hand shot 60 percent for the game and after trail¬ ing by as much as 20 points in the second quarter cut that deficit to 3 points in the third quarter. However, Martinsville rallied again and finally pulled away to the final margin of victory in the last minute of play. John Thompson and Grady Posey were very impressive in the title game as they scored 25 and 23 points respectively and were almost unstoppable inside.

Bulldogs controlled re¬ mainder of time in 45-43 victory over Marion in State Semi-Finals. 143 1 Brunswick County faithful played key role in championship drive. (Continued) Although the State Championship was not to be, this edition of the Bulldogs established themselves as one of the very best in a long line of successful teams in the history of Brunswick Senior High School. Among the factors that enabled this team to reach its height of excellence was that they played within a team concept. Each player had a job to do and a role to fill and they worked to do their very best for the good of the team. This is what makes good basketball teams and if those players in the future that wear the Bulldog’s blue and white will have this same attitude — then maybe the State Championship will not be a dream but rather will become reality. John Thompson looks to score two of his 25 points in State Title Game. 144
