MS Boys' Basketball ' ' ,. ft 2 Winning Comes Easy Although having lost all five starters to the JV and Varsity teams, Coach Harry Sprouse was once again surrounded by talented players. The Middle School Basketball Team, made up of seven ninth graders, three eighth graders, and five seventh graders, racked up another winning season for Coach Sprouse who as a third-year coach has lost only one game in the two previous years. Two ex-soccer players hung up their cleats this season to lead the team toward success. Blake Comer led in scoring throughout the season from the forward position, while George Wood dominated the boards from the center position. Wing Mark Sturgis, point guard Tod Hyche, and forward Ellison McCoy completed the starting lineup. Playing with consistency, strength, and confidence, the team posted convincing wins over tough opponents such as Spartanburg Day, Tamassee- Salem, Gaston Day, and Gaffney. Coach Sprouse was pleased with the team's enthusiasm to play and its desire to win. These factors combined with talent and increasing improvement were the keys to the team's success. Coach Sprouse expressed optimism for the Middle School basketball program because of continued interest of seventh and eighth graders in playing basketball and in continuing the winning tradition. fshf F 'Z ,,, ' 9' .W l64fMiddle School Boys' Basketball WW Getting his own rebound, Blake Comer towers over the opposition.

Varsity Soccer Rotation Cops Conference Bid The 1983 Varsity Soccer Team entered the season with an optimistic attitude. Coming off a 1-1 tie in a pre-season scrim- mage with 3A Westside, the Cavs were confident and enthusiastic. Seven seniors, including co-captains Scott Odom and newcomer Pete McKenna, stablized the lineup that was rounded out by a compli- cated rotation of juniors and sophomores. Eight equally proficient forwards were constantly rotated every eight to ten min- utes to give the Cavs a consistently strong scoring punch. Also, the halfbacks exper- Charles Runge and Michael Bowen each playing half the game. Coach Michael Stafford justified this lineup by saying that he was, . .. looking for a hungry goal- getter to lead the team and looking for potential in many players. New Jersey native Pete McKenna led the team in scoring and was in The Green- ville News - Piedmont's top ten in scor- ing for three straight weeks. Other stan- douts included Guy Fulwiler, Clarkson Williams, and Chris Roberts at forwards.
