ROVVDY AND RAMBUNCTIOUS The enthusiasm and spirit of this year's J.V. Cheerleading squad was outstanding! The precision and grace of their routines made them highly acclaimed throughout the school year. At basketball games, the spirit of the squad helped boost the morale when things got tough. And when the team was winning, they cheered them on to victory. Their new uniforms made a flashy appearance at the games when they performed. ln addition, the squad had a new advisor, Mrs. Vickie Harrell. With her help in coaching and advising, the squad had a spectacular year. .fl 7 'A .M . 7 .ww ,, i ,ff Bottom row: Shawna Redd, Shannon Reeves, Michelle Ferrell, Kristi Neff.

i ,iff 1 Though the game of golf can be frustrating, the 1985 Varsity Golf Team didn't make it seem that way. What was so very special about this team was that they not only made the game look easy, but thoroughly enjoyed themselves as well. They had an exceptional season with 13 wins and only 5 losses, proving they do take their game seriously. Ironi- cally, seriousness was not one of their more prominent traits, and the team seemed to take advantage of pratical jokes. Heading up this unique group of guys, Traye Cooke was usually kept in stitches. We commend the multi-talented team for their fine efforts and representa- tion of our school. James Hatcher inspects the grip on his club. Jeremy Newton and Kirk Crumpler take a break while other members of the team dis- cuss their game.

V M'm,..Q 1 BIG BUSINESS Led by Grady Funderburk, the J.V. basketball team readily adjust- ed to their new coach. They worked well together by learning to help one another and also to accept criticism when necessary. In the beginning of the season, Coach Funderburk experimented with different combinations on the floor. l-le felt good about the team and said that they were really inter- ested in playing the sport. Something else that could be said for the team would be how willing they were to take in Chris Sullivan, a transfer student from Pender Acad- emy, and immediately regarding him as a team member. With new talent coming in, each team member gained the initiative to compete for positions. Topsail has been proud to boast of a team that consisted of such good sports and competitive young men.
