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- ienced a similar rotation with goalies 1 1 mm I s,,, ,-M..,... 1 1 1- l Yank - Come - South Peter McKenna, center ,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,.W......r.,....,,,..,,,.. 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. At halfback were Joel Norwood, Jim Mitchell, Bragg Comer and Frederick Hanold. Sophomore Chris Myers alor with juniors Will Smith and Scott Snaj anchored the fullback positions. Early season losses to top ten teanf Eastside and Mauldin, along with losses conference rival Dixie and around tl corner rival J .L. Mann,were attributed inconsistent play. As the team settl4 down, they defeated Riverside, McDuffi and Wrenn before losing again to Dix and then tying Mann 1-1.

MS Soccer Each Merits n ward The Middle School Soccer Team en- dured a tough, rebuilding year. Losing all of last year's starters to both the Middle School Basketball Team and the Varsity Soccer Team, the young Junior Cavs com- piled a 1-4-2 record against some of the area's finest middle school competition. In matchups with both Catawba School and Spartanburg Day School, the Cavaliers had goals called back resulting in contro- versial losses for the squad. Under the coaching of Mr. Chris Hearon, the MS team had to patch huge voids left by losses of all of last year's starters. Quickly stepping into these posi- tions were forwards Bill Runge and Perry Keys along with support from Center Halfback Roland Dority. Also showing improvement were Robert Austell and Pat Condon at fullback as well as Edwin McCain and Julian Cochran, seventh grade standouts at wing forward and half- back respectively. This is a team that has overcome a lot of adversity, said Coach Hearon. Vast late season improvement was credited to tremendous over-all team play. Reports Coach Hearon, I think each member of this team should receive the most im- proved player award. Ninth grader and team captain Bill Johnson's excellent play at both fullback and goalie was cited as another remarkable facet of the team. Hearon pointed out that the extra practice time after school and the rejuvenated de- sire of the players to play up to their abili- ties were further reasons for improvement. Keeping the ball under control, Eighth Grader Bill Runge displays varsity promise. Aiken Prep lags as John Kuhne speeds past. l70fMiddle School Soccer
