Wrestling Coach
Resigns Post
By Quintella Howard
Staff Writer
Recently GWC’s wrestling coach Greg
Hutchinson resigned to take another job.
Coach Hutchinson has been with GWC’s
wrestling team since its conception three
years ago. He was hired to form a freshman
wrestling team, and, with the help of staff
and dedicated members of the team, he has
produced some fine individual talents.
Coach Hutchinson will be unable to stay
until the end of the wrestling season which
ends the first weekend in March. Business
opportunities will not permit him to stay.
Coach Tony Setzer will take over as the
wrestling coach until the end of the season.
A permanent wrestling coach will be named
later in the school year.
Coach Hutchinson said that, in his three
years at GWC, the student athletes have
been hard working, dedicated, and work
well as a team. He also said the staff mem
bers of the sports department are great to
work with and are very supportive.
His only disappointment was the lack of
student body support. "Once you witness a
wrestling event, you will love it." The stu
dents work hard and train hard; many in
juries are suffered by the team members.
They must train and diet constantly, risking
dehydration to remain in their weight class.
Trainer Kevin Jones works right along with
them to keep them in good shape.
The team as a whole has not had a great
deal of success, but there have been some
individuals to shine through.
The
Runnin’ Bulldogs:
A Success Story
By R. Shawn Lewis
Managing Editor
Gardner-Webb’s mens team had a very
difficult season for a variety of reasons. In
essence, the Runnin’ Bulldogs have suf
fered through "Murphy’s" plague of every
possible thing that could go wrong going
wrong. The team lost three players to
grades, two of them starters, and two
players to injuries, depleting the roster to
only 8 active players. To add even further to
their problems, the active 8 were never
healthy at the same time.
In light of these problems, many teams
would have wilted under the pressure. The
Runnin’ Bulldogs were not just another
team, however. This was and is a team of
determined individuals, each a winner in
his own way. Sure their record may not be
what Gardner-Webb fans are used to
seeing, but there were very few games that
the team was not in. Game after game, the
team took to the court knowing that it may
not have the offensive guns to blow out an
opponent, or to even keep up with the other
team, but that did not stop the Runnin’
Bulldogs.
The team did, however, have one of the
finest defenses in the nation, good enough
to be ranked #7 in the nation. Defense kept
the Bulldogs close in many games that
should have been runaway victories for
their opponents.

achieved what you wanted to this season,
you still did something that not many could
not have: you met adversity face to face and
won.
No matter what the future holds for the
basketball program here at Gardner-Webb
College, the 1989-90 Runnin’ Bulldogs will
always be remembered as winners, perhaps
not on the basketball court; but on tlie court
of life v/here it counts.
