FOOTBALL The Bearcat football team in what would be Coach J .M. Wal1ace's last year as head coach ended the season with an overall record of 5-7. The team opened the season with a heartbreaking overtime loss to Myers Park at home, but the next week the ,Cats regrouped and won convincingly over A.C. Flora by a score of 26-8. The next Friday Lancaster came to Rock Hill and handed the 'Cats their second loss of the year. In the first Region game of the year, Rock Hill defeated the Gaffney Indians at home. However, the next three weeks proved to be frustrating with three straight region losses coming at the hands of Spartanburg, Union, and Dorman, all on the road, and the 'Cats' re- cord stood at 2-5. The Bearcats got back in the win column the next two weeks by defeating Lexington on the road and returning to down Boiling Springs in the 'Cats' Homecoming affair. Entering the game with that old nemesis Northwestern, the team held a 4-5 record. Both teams played even in the first half, but the Trojans prevailed in the second half and went on to score a 19-0 win. The regular season record stood at 4-6 with the Big 16 Play-off scheduled for the next week. The 'Cats traveled to Greenwood for the first round of the play-offs and pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year with a 7-0 win over Greenwood in a rainstorm. Undefeated Irmo was to be the foe in the second round. The 'Cats fought hard but fell to Irmo by a score of 13-0 in Columbia to end the 1982 football season. The entire football team, though small in the size of the players and size of the team itself, progressed each week. With practice be- ginning in August and ending in November, the 1982 Bearcats endured a long season but a rewarding and enjoyable one as well. 170
