SPORTS Your Best Shot Athlete ath ' iet n-one trained to contend in feats of strength or agility. Thanks to the intramural sports program, students could violate the dictionary ' s rigid definition of athlete. In order to join an intramural team, a student simply had to demonstrate enthusiasm to play. Intramural sports, ranging from football to volleyball, promoted friendly unity v ithin teams and light-hearted competitiveness among organizations. Teams formed within fraternities, clubs, and dormitories. According to senior Cheryl Vanture, intramural sports not only inspired a competitive spirit on campus, but they also provided a great way to take out frustrations! Varsity sports, on the other hand, required far more than eagerness. Displaying a victorious soccer team and a winning football team, the varsity sports program obviously required talent. Drawing excited crowds, the soccer team enjoyed renewed popularity, while a new, expanded cheerleading squad highlighted the football games. Noticing the different spirit on campus, sophomore Jennifer Walter commented that successful seasons improved school spirit by making everybody feel good about P.C.

TOUGH ENOUGH Team ' s Attitude Strengthens Season Winning the SAC-8 conference and clinching a spot in the playoffs were top goals in the minds of the football players as they arrived on campus in August. Outside observers obviously viewed the Blue Hose as true contenders, as critics placed P.C. 17th in the NAIA pre-season polls. However, a long and rocky road faced the team. A major obstacle were the traditionally gritty Citadel Bulldogs. A second challenge of even greater magnitude arose in the contest with the Paladins of Furman University. P.C. ' s battle plan on offense, focusing on the tailback sweep, utilized captain Jimmy Lindsey and sophomore Stevie Riggins to power the running game. Another potential threat was added by the quick Scotty Mozingo, starting for the first time at quarterback. The defensive team, led by Rodney Berry, returning second team all-conference linebacker, concentrated on rushing to the ball. Said senior player David Smith, Rodney Berry is the heart of the P.C. team, and Riggins is its soul. Coaches Shaver and Poss view the offensive action w hile sophomore Harold Nichols takes notes. Defensive tackle Jeff Bennett surges through the Elon line to sack the quarterback. 14 sports
