Varsity Cheerers Overcome Problems The cheering team selected in the spring underwent several shakeups before getting organized and under- way. After a successful week at cheering camp at Furman University where the group earned both the spirit stick and several ribbons, lead- ership problems arose once sched- uled practice began, resulting in the resignation of captain Cathy Taylor. Co-captain Paige Price attempted to revamp the group and begin anew. Cricket McDuffie filled and subse- quently gave up the seventh posi- tion, leaving the six-man squad for the season's remainder. The addi- tion of Cam Hinds and Melissa Dar- gan as Cougar mascots helped to enforce the total voice volume. The squad willingly struggled to boost team moral and crowd spirit through a number of new cheers and stunts that were added to the old standbys. Spirit did seem to increase and perhaps peak toward the end of the season with big rivals Wilson Hall and Hammond causing enthusi- astic response. ill Santa is surely happy to pose with Coast- al's cheering squad composed of Rachael Small, Robin Williamson, Paige Price, Cam Hinds, Lin Rowe, Karla Talbot, Karen Gore, and lfrontl Cricket McDuffie, and Melissa Dargan. l2l The varsity squad raised money by selling McDonald's hamburgers to students at lunch time. Robin Williamson, Lin Rowe, and Rachael Small pick up the day's supply.

J. V. 's Turn in Winnin Record Coastal's iayvees had a very suc- cessful season. Even though they lacked experience, the young Cou- gars combined their other resources for a 12 and 4 record. Coach Carroll Taylor lost all of his veterans of the previous season - Lawton Benton, Lewis Butler, Ronnie Nuckles, Scott Miles, and David Jeffcoat moved up to the varsity squad - and also suffered another handicap in the absence of bench strength. Mr. Taylor turned to Lane Martin, a transfer student, Steve Taylor, a returning letterman, Len Donevant, Jay Huggins, and Ashley McLamb, new members, for his starters. Put- ting their talents to full use, these five ielled into one of the strongest teams in the conference and came away from the JV tournament with the winner's trophy. lil Coach Carroll Taylor and his top scorers 121 JV team members are Casey McDuffne Michael Stephens Lane Martin Richard Lane Martin and Steve Taylor stand ready for Alan Nuckles Neal Herring .lay Huggins Len Capps George Gore Steve Taylor lfrontl JV action.
