Kellam's Sports are a very fine aspect of the school's activities. ln the fall, there is football, field hockey, girl's tennis, and cross country. In the winter, students can enjoy basketball and wrestling. In the spring, track, baseball, softball, and boy's tennis are offered. Like most seasons, l982-83 was a very successful encounter for Kellam. Baseball did very well, as did basketball, cross-country, and boy's tennis. Sports copywri- ter, Eric Cooper, was on hand for all of the sports, and he did a fine job covering them in detail throughout the year. His finer work follows. Students will be able to remember the sports program at Kellam, it was a very successful and rewarding experience for everybody involved. In athletic competition, nobody is a loser, everybody is a winner. Here at Kellam, we are very proud of our winners!

The Knights, coached by Jim Garrett, Mike Newbern, Mike Benzel, and Kevin Michaels, once again made a step forward in the football program, but this step was smaller than many had expected. Their overall record was 4-6, though it could have easily been 6-4. Two late season losses to Cox and Granby, by a total of five points, dashed the Knights hopes for a winning season. Kellam has always been known for strong defense, and this year was no different. Anchoring the line were guard Jim Videll and tackle James Snowden, both Honorable Mention in the state. Other defensive stars were Dennis Cannon, Donny Snyman, Greg Scheer, and Kene Dieter. The highlight of the season, a l6-O defeat of once top ranked Princess Anne, was Cnlll won by an awesome defense that totally shut down the Cavaliers attack. A pleasant surprise was the offensive production. After several sub-par years, the team finally started to move the ball down field. The workhorse of the offense was tailback Eric Woodhouse, the only junior in Tidewater to rush for more than l ,OOO yards. A midseason quarterback change, to junior Scott Matyiko, seemed to put the offense on the right track. Although losing many seniors to graduation, some strong underclassmen, along with new head coach Harper Dona- hue, should make the Knights tough once again when Sep- tember rolls around.
