Karen Taylor soared through the air in yet an¬ other attempt at breaking the long jump record. Proudly accepting track awards for Most Im¬ proved are Jimmy Kelly and Deborah Lambert, and for MVP are Alfred McGeachy and Karen Taylor. Jimmy Kelly fought off a strong attack by a Baron to win another 100-yard dash as Tony Taylor sprinted for third place. The concentration on Alfred McGeachy’s face is evident as he begins his take-off in the high jump. 5

Unseen Talent Succeeds Awesome Racqueteers Defeating every other team in the District, Brunswick’s ’82 Tennis Team recorded a perfect season; 9 overall wins: No losses!! The fellows on the courts were devastating, defeating Greensville twice without letting them win a match, defeating Randolph Hen¬ ry twice (letting them have only one match) and defeating Dinwiddie twice, again letting them have only one match. Obviously, the Brunswick Ten¬ nis Team was awesome. Coach Clary and his racqueteers totalled up a very respectable scoreboard. Leaping Tracqueteers The 1982 Track Team, one of the best kept secrets of the sports arena, leaped many hurdles and dashed around the District offering stiff com¬ petition. The most exciting meet of the 1982 season was the District competi¬ tion. The team members faced differ¬ ent styles of competition which made for an interesting, as well as more com¬ petitive meet. Coaches Mims and Rainey felt that lack of participation and inexperience were the main rea¬ sons for the season ending as it did. Coach Clary awards Thomas Mays Most Improved Player and Cleve Packer MVP. Cleve also displays the District Champions Award for Tennis.

Through Thick And Thin Fruitless season Learning season Softball Scoreboard The girl’s softball team had a fruit¬ less season, even though the same girls who had won the District Champion¬ ship at the junior high reunited to form the 1982 softball team. The team played its best game of this season against Bluestone, the number one team in the district. However, the Bulldog’s effort was fruitless. They lost by the slim margin of 10-9. When Bluestone came to Brunswick, the girls played their worst game of the season, losing by a score of 22-2. Although things looked bad for the team and one loss lead to another, the ladies never gave up. They finally stomped Greensville with a score of 38- 9. When asked what was the best thing about the team, Miss Ford said, “Win or lose, the girls stuck together.’’ The 1982 baseball season is best summed up as a learning experience. Suffering thru a 5-win and 12-loss sea¬ son, the team, which started 4 seniors, 4 sophomores and 1 freshman, man¬ aged to field several noteworthy indi¬ viduals. Mike Gibson, All-Conference catch¬ er, batted .389 and was the team’s MVP. Tommy Jones batted .407 and was the team’s best hitter. Tom McGeachy and Mike Wynn had out¬ standing season’s at the plate. Howev¬ er, shakey defense and poor pitching led to many of the defeats.
