Competing for higher goais Bantams? Who ' s that? The home of the 1967 Bantams was USC-Spartanburg. The Bantams were an integral part of campus life, and were known for their prowess at basket- ball. As USCS began to grow in its impor- tance to the community, so did its desire to truly be a part of the surrounding area. Thus, in 1975, USC-Spartanburg became the Spar- tan Rifles. The term rifles was chosen to represent the historic significance of the area in the past battles, such as the Battle of Cow- pens. For a small university, USCS has a relative- ly large athletics department. In 1967, this ♦ ♦ ♦ department was comprised of basketball, tennis, and golf teams. However, the teams of 1989 include basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, tennis, and a few others. These teams have won several conference and divi- sion championships, which proves that its not just the larger universities that have a winning sports department. For the past twenty-one years, every facet of USCS has developed proportionally to one another. Just as the quality of academic in- struction has improved, so has the quality of the athletic department through its equip- ment, coaches, and athletics. Opening
