On Thursday October 25, Evander
Hoiyfield and Buster IDouglas squared off
■n what was supposed to be a
championship bout of 15 rounds. What
it turned out to be was a lopsided fight
^ a waste of millions of bucks.

, ISNT BAD FOR THREE ROUNDS
3nd a quick exit (my math isn't great,
I what's that? — $8 mil a round?) like
1 Buster pulled.
. Buster Douglas shocked the world
than 10 months ago by flooring
Mike Tyson. Somewhere along the
Douglas gained 40 lbs. of
"Muscle" and a sluggish fight attitude
(notThat he was quick to begin with).
Evander Hoiyfield couldn’t have had
^ easier time beating someone for the
world tide. Hoiyfield trained like a
boxer should and deserves the right to be
called a champion.
On the nip side, Buster Douglas
will now have to decide if he can once
again be the excellent fighter who clob
bered Tyson.
Hoiyfield can relax for now, but
potential threat or joke George Forem^
and deadly Mike Tyson will soon be
knocking on the door. On the other
hand, maybe Douglas gave his all in the
fight and was just flat-out dominated.
If this is true, then Hoiyfield is one
tough hombre and he deserves the nght
to be doing deodorant commercials. I
hope Hoiyfield holds the title for a
while even if Douglas wrniped ouL
The only ones I feel sorry for are the
chumps who paid $1,000 apiece to
watch Hoiyfield

to give the Tornadoes a 4-0 lead at the
half. Mike McAvoy scored just minutes
into the second half. Kip Lowery scored
again to make the score 6-0. James
Noble added to the Brevard scoring with
a goal of his own to make il 7-0. Mike
McAvoy and Kip Lowery added two
more goals to make the final score 9-0.
BC women win title
From page 10
The BC Women's soccer team won
the Region X regular season champion
ship for the first time in the school's
history. Last year, the team was co
champions with Lees-McRae. This
means a lot to me and the team," said
Coach Joe Bartlinski. "It gives us the
number-one-seed in the Region
Tourney." he said.
The women's soccer team also set a
school record with seven consecutive
shutouts.
This year’s squad had a balance of
scoring. Colleen Runion led the team
with 11 goals followed by Heidi Kaiser
with 10 and Jennifer McMaster with
nine. Jennifer Keltner and Elizabeth
Warner scored six goals each. Tara
Harding and Laura Clark had five goals.
Lenny McClellan scored three. Laurie
Paulakonis. Samantha Griffiths, Julie
Haydin and Nicki Thompson with two

BC hosts
cross country
nationals
From page 1
to 400 runners, coaches, fans and family
will be on hand for the XC nationals.
Though the College will serve as
race headquarters, the meet will be run at
DuPont’s recreational facility. Guion
Farm. 12 miles southeast of Brevard
College. DuPont created the five-mile
cross country track expressly for the
national meet.
"We’re excited about Brevard being
able to lure the meet," say^ DuPont
spokesperson David Miller. "It's well
worth the time and effort. It's significant
from a national standpoinL"
The five-mile course (for men. and
5k for women) was designed by BC’s
Rinker. and then constructed by workers
from DuPont who widened and
smoothed a hiking path along the
perimeter of the property.
DuPont has been tremendously
helpful, said Rinker. who describes the
Guion Farm course as hilly, through the
woods and over dirt roads and u-ails.
Most of the intercollegiate meets are
held on golf courses or through open
fields.
BC runners train on difficult
mountainous terrain, and whether this
"home field" advantage will help the
Tornado runners on November 17
remains to be seen. Coach Rinker
observes. "The DuPont course is
probably the hardest course we’ve ever
had to run on. but we’re all getting used
to il somehow.
The BC men runners u^in regularly
on the course, and got an early shot at
the showing how good they were when
on Oct. 13. BC runners placed one-lwo
in the North Carolina State Intercol
legiate Cross Country Championships
at Guion Farm.
Even though the Tornadoes didn't
enter a whole team. BC finished first
and second over the best from the slate's
four-year schools. Jeff Campbell won
first, and Craig Goodroe wasn't far
behind him for third.
Most recently. BC ran well on Oct.
27 against Georgetown and Rutgers
with Tornadoes finishing 3rd. 4th. 5th.
and 6th over a six-mile course. Goodroe
led BC with a third place finish and a
winning time of 29:58. just yards ahead
of Campbell with fourth and 30:01.
Carlos Gibbs got fifth with 30; 10 and
John Massie placed fifth with 30:14.
Coach Rinker said, "We did a nice
job sticking to the race plan, packing
together up front and helping out. If we
can be that close at nationals and get
Chris Griggs healthy (he was out
bccause of bronchitis) we'll be a force to
reckon with.
