The boys' cross-country team overcame several obsta- cles on their way to becoming number two in the region. The boys came a long way this year. They were young and inexperienced, but they worked hard and it shows, said Coach Bob Nestor. Another problem the boys faced was that major part of the team graduated in 1986 and this year's team was in the process of reconstruction. We are a young team this year. By the time we are se- niors, we should dominate all of South Carolina, said Eric Correll. The boys record was indic- ative of the kind of season they had. The Mavericks went 5-O in dual meets during the season. Our best match was against Wade Hampton. We all got our personal records and six runners finished be- fore any of their runners placed, said Pat Anderson. October 29, the boys ran in the region meet against seven other teams. The top three finishers qualified for state. 136 Boyz 01014 Cowciig They were Eastside, Mauldin, and Hillcrest. Four Mauldin runners fin- ished. Chris Crane finished fourth, Pat Dorrian eighth, Eric Correl fifteenth, and Pat Anderson sixteenth. Mauldin beat Hillcrest in regular competition and lost to Eastside in a scrimmage match. The Mavericks have major plans for the future. With the talent we've got, even though we're youngg we will be marvelous, said Pat Dor- rian. Alicia Brown

K' SM' Q Q uality Not uantit The 1986 varsity football season opened with the Mav- ericks suffering a disappoint- ing loss to Woodmont in the pre-season jamboree. We just had some bad luck, but we have a lot of tal- ent, and we should finish okay this year, said senior Todd Ballew, The regular season opened against I.L. Mann at home. The Mavs lost the opener by a score of 28-O. Senior Quarter- back Jimmy McLees suffered a shoulder injury early in the season and sophomore Tripp Robinson took over at quarterback. Trip did a good job for us, and he has a lot of potential, said Coach Stan Hopkins. Injuries seemed to plague the Mavericks all season. Starting players Bill Haun, Todd Ballew, Jimmy McLees and Dee Timmons were in- jured and out for at least one game during the season. After we suffered all our injuries, some of our guys had to double up and play de- fense, said Coach Hopkins. lt was tough, but even though they were exhausted, they played hard. As the season wore on, Mauldin compiled a record of 0-7 going into the homecom- ing game against Wade Hampton. The Generals re- cord was also O-7. The Maver- icks walked away with a 17-12 win, their first win of the season. Coach Hopkins said, Our guys hung in there and never got so down that they couldn't get up. That attitude makes them more of a win- ning team than anything. Alicia Brown Set 88, 88 Hike! The maverick defense goes in motion against Wade Hampton. The defense held the Generals to only 12 points: the lowest all year allowed by the mavs. iPhoto by Gary Webbj Rip 14 year.
