Freed-Hardeman soccer . . Doing lt For Kicks When Vince Lombardi made his statement about winning being the only thing, it is apparent he had never visited F-HC's soccer team. In their second year of existence, the 1987 Lions were defeated in every show- ing, but their hardwork, dedi- cation, and desire to improve never faltered. As Coach Mike McCutcheon says, ln most cases we were playing against scholarship players with more experience and talent, but the team never gave up. They worked hard throughout the season. Why participate in a sport that offers no scholarships, has little crowd support, and posts frequent losses? Ac- cording to right fullback Kelly Beard, personal satisfaction, better physical condition, and individual desire are the moti- vators. In addition, he cites the enjoyment of road trips as an added benefit. Beard, who plans to continue his efforts at soccer, thinks student interest is at a moderate level. We usually had a bleacher full to watch our games, he said. Q-6 Arnold Henderson calmly drlbbles down the field as he prepares to attack th opponent's defense. The Freed-Hardernan soccer team consists of lfront rowj Kelly Beard, John McBrayer, Anthony Pounders. Bryan McDonald, Bob Murray, Tim Webby lback rowj Moses Donkor.

Lady Lion Volleyball on the Rise The 7987 Freed-Hardeman volleyball team consists of fbottom rowj Karrie Knight, Ruth Kennedyg lsecond fOW2 coach Joyce Bloomingburg, Cleta Stutz- man, co-captain Kendra Bonnell, Beth Thomas, manager Lisa Gibbonsg itop rowj Diane Sei! and co-captain Melissa Scott 120 Volleyball.. The 1987 Freed-Hardeman volleyball team began the sea- son with a number of goals. Foremost, they wished to rep- resent the school as Chris- tians, improve individually and as a team, and to better last year's record, according to Coach Joyce Bloomingburg. Not only did this team accom- plish these tasks, but in only their second year of existence qualified for the NAIA District Tournament in Bristol Tennes- see and placed freshman Diane Self on the TCAC All- Conference Team. According to Blooming- burg, this year's team began fresh with an innovative of- fense and worked hard to overcome the disadvantage of inexperience coupled with the loss of four players during the course of the year. Participat- ing in invitational tournaments at Harding University and Christian Brothers College, the team finished with an overall mark of 8-20 and a 3-5 confer- ence record.
