April 26,-19« WARNING! By Ronnie D. Smith SPORTS EDITOR Jewell Paces Tornadoes; Breaks Six-Game Streak “It isn’t whether you win or J?®®, Tilav the fi-ame.” Whoever is credited with that philosoJ.l.ifal gem undoubtedly knew of Brevard s tennis team. Tennis is the only Spring sport with an unWem- ished record, unfortunately it is unblemished on the “win” side. In fact the team is working on its sec ond straight perfect record. (They didnt win year either.) But seriously, with all smart remarks aside (if that’s possible for me), those guys on our tennis team are probably some of the most dedicated ath letes on Brevard’s campus. No kidding, they deseiye a lot of credit. It isn’t at all hard to be a good win ner and play without blowing your- top._ But brother it takes guts to play your heart out, give it ^11 jou have, and still be beaten time and again. That am t easy! But that’s our tennis team. There s not one guy out there that doesn’t hustle in every match, no matter what the odds against him are, or one who complains and makes excuses for losing, or one that isn’t completely devoted to the idea of ‘ team first, me second”. Our team has to play schools in which every competitor is on scholarship, teams that are national ly ranked and teams that can practice the year round. They are pitted against some mighty good players, and the odds against them are pretty _ heavy. But they never give up. They never say die. They take defeat after defeat and come back to play again. They receive no monetary rewards for being subject ed to such insurmountable odds, they get very lit tle recognition, but they know what athletics is all about. They compete for the love of the game. The win doesn’t matter so much as the participation. They play because they love it, are dedicated to com pete for the love of the game. The win doesn’t mat ter so much as the participation. They play because they love it, are dedicated, to competition and want to win no matter what the odds. They take defeat gracefully but never let it conquer them. They f^re undoubtedly a uniaUf, bupcji pf eharr actersr Mpsi iieopie -yvpuld just up and quit if they n&ver won, but fiot those guys, they always bounce back. They keep looking, and playing for that win. *rhey knpw it may be a long time coming, maybe not even this year, biilthey’ll get it and in the meantime they’re winnirjg a lot thftn just a tennis m^h. They’re winning what really .counts; thpse battles ■within theniselves that transform failures to succes ses, and little boys into men.
