Gridders post 6-4 record for ^89 season B; JACK GOLDBERG Assistant Athletic Director The Chowan Braves ended the 1989 football season by dropping their final three games to finish with a 6-4 record. On October 28, nationally ranked Nassau Community College visited Garrison Stadium and handed the Braves a 41-14 loss. Chowan’s only touchdowns were scored by Eric Bates on a 63-yard run and Darryl Boulware on a 70-yard pass reception from Jimmy Shropshire. , The Knights of Montgomery College came to the Braves’ den the following week, dominating the game en route to a 28-7 victory. The Braves, who had been averaging 28 points per game, found their offense sputtering. Poor field position, penalties and turnovers were the story as Chowan could only generate 85 total yards, while picking up five first downs. The final game of the season pitted the Braves against nationally ranked North Greenville College, who jumped to an early 14-0 lead, en route to a 49-20 victory. The Braves mounted a comeback in the second half, behind the strong arm of quarterback Jimmy Shropshire, who hooked up with Marlek Connor and Kevin Johnson for touchdowns. Johnson caught two touchdown passes. The Braves concluded the year with a 6-4 overall record and 1-3 in the Coastal Conference. Coach Jim Garrison con cluded his 32nd year as head coach, achieving his 26th winning season. Garrison’s overall record is 177-132-12. Wrestling squad expected to be strongest ever ByJACK GOLDBERG Assistant Director of Atiiletics The Chowan wrestling team opened the ’89-90 season with a young but very strong lineup. This year’s “rookie” class of recruits is without a doubt the best in Chowan’s history, according to Jody Taylor, head coach. Taylor has signed high school stan douts from as far north as Erie, Pa., and as far south as Miami, Fla. The fresh man class consists of six state cham pions, eight state placers, and three high school All-Americans. “The 1989-90 team has more depth and more talent than any team I’ve ever coached,” commented Coach Taylor. “Last year's squad was very thin at 118, 126, 177, and 190. With the depth in the lower weights and strength in the upper weights this year’s team should balance out for an even stronger team than last year’s,” he said. With the experience of sophomore lettermen Keith Idleburg (118), Joey Dinino (142), Tyrone Talbert (158), and Melvin Crosby (heavyweight), it looks to be a good season for the Braves. m Lady Braves ready for ’89-’90 Season Expectations are high for the 1989-90 edition of the Chowan women s basketball team due in part to the return of four starters and the arrival of a highly regarded freshman class.

Advance to National Tournament Volleyball squad sweeps Region 10 tourney By JACK GOLDBERG Assistant Director of A thletics Chowan College’s women’s volleyball team ventured into a hostile environment during the Region 10 tournament at Anderson, S. C., but the Lady Braves quickly turned its three South Carolina opponents into past history as Chowan swept the tourney title in three straight matches. Playing in Anderson’s Abney Fieldhouse, Chowan was seeded third among the four Region 10 teams and battled second seeded Spartanburg Methodist in the opening, winning the three game match 2-1. But as the old saying goes, Chowan “had them where they wanted” as the Lady Braves rallied for a dramatic 16-14 victory and followed that with a 15-13 decision during the third and deciding game to win the match. Rallies Again In semi-final action, the Lady Braves were pitted against home standing and top seeded Anderson and once again the squad rallied as they lost the opener 15- 13 before taking the next two, 15-12 and 15-8. Later in the day, Anderson emerged from the loser’s bracket to tangle with Chowan again but the Braves proved to be too strong as they swept their hosts 15- 6 and 15-2 for the tournament title. Individual Honors Chowan’s Sue Taylor was tabbed as the tournament MVP and joined teammates Cartrina Williams and Fonda Lyons on the all-tournament team. Taylor then made it a clean sweep as she was selected to the All-Region 10 team along with teammates Jennifer Towell and Williams. With regional honors safely tucked away, the Lady Braves, at 32-11 overall, focused attention further south to Bay Minetta, Alabama to battle Region 22 champion Faulkner Junior College. The Lady Braves won the hard-fought contest to advance to the National Junior College Volleyball Tournament at Miami Dade- South, in Miami, Florida. Tournament Action The Lady Braves began their quest for the national championship by taking on host school Miami Dade South and dropped three straight games. The Lady Jaguars eventually won the national crown by defeating Barton County Community College, of Kansas. The second match for the Lady Braves was against defending champion Schoolcraft College from Michigan. The Michigan Ocelots defeated Chowan to eliminate the Lady Braves’ chances of winning their pool. Krueger provides significant gift for graphics program Continued from Page I story of his company and samples of its printing. The work paid off when Krueger landed contracts to print TIME and LIFE. By the time he had retired in 1970, the company had constructed three ad ditional plants for a total of eight. The largest web press west of the Mississippi, with the capacity to print 450,000 four- color pages per hour, is located in the Phoenix, Arizona, plant. One plant in Tennessee is devoted to printing paperback books. Half of the Mississippi plant is reserved for the printing of the prestigious magazine, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. One of Nation’s Largest After retiring with the title of founder and chairman emeritus, Krueger con tinued to serve as a director for eight years. When he stepped down as a director in 1978, he had served the company for 44 years. The business he founded had grown to become one of the largest and most influential companies in the United States. During his career, William A. Krueger has provided leadership to a number of nationally printing organizations. During World War II, he served on the War Production Board. In 1972, he received the Ben Franklin “Man of the Year” Award. He has also received the Soderstrom Award from the printing industry and was honored as Ash Kahn’s “King Kahn.” Krueger has also shown a life-long interest in furthering the careers of young people through a college education. He served as a trustee of the National Scholarship Trust Fund and director of the National Education Council. Much Help to Students He has shown a particular interest in helping to train young men and women for careers in printing. He has expressed his belief on many occasions that printing is a great career for young people and his desire to help young men and women find the joy and satisfaction he has found in the printing field. Krueger is a supporter of Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y. He said he is happy to also help Chowan College, which he said is doing a good job of helping young people prepare for careers in printing, and which is located in his adopted state of North Carolina. The Kruegers are part-time residents of Tryon. Krueger’s interest in Chowan was also sparked by the fact a graduate of the School of Graphic Communications, Steve Laney, Class of 1981, is serving as materials manager in the Kansas City, Kan., plant. Laney’s wife, the former Carol Culp, is also a Chowan graduate. Class of 1981. CHOWAN TODAY, December, 1989—15 t t
