All
the
Way
Hello to my peoples! Here’s the
1025 on our Lady Broncos. On a day
when the clouds abounded with grey
and the smell of rain permeated
throughout the air, I was hunting Eric
Tucker, the Lady Broncos’ Head
Coach. The interview was to start at
12 p.m. and it was already 12:05. Fi
nally I had reached the bottom of the
steps leading to the main level of the
new Physical Education Complex,
when a green and black Ford Explorer
raced toward me with little intentions
of stopping. Luckily it did.
Coach Tucker: “Hey Deitric, we’ve
got to do this on the run.”
Deitric: “No problem.”
CT: “Get in and Shoot!”
DD: “Let’s begin with the end of last
season.”
CT: “Deja Vu! It was a disappoint
ment to lose to Shaw two years in a
row; especially that close to the cham
pionship. I really thought that would
be our year. Defensively we broke
down and we finished 18-11.”
DD: “So what about that this year?”
CT: “With the ladies that we have as-
sembled, we have the talent to finish
better than last year’s record, which is
two wins shy of a Division II NCAA
Tournament bid selection.”
DD: “Coach tell us your plan to get
the big dance.”
CT: “Something old, something new,
and defense, too!”
DD: “What do you expect from your
veterans?”
CT: “I expect for LaVonda DeLoach,
Deirdre Justice, Amisha Johnson and
Christina Hollingsworth to continue
giving the offensive punch that they
are capable of giving. My new recruits
[7 total] will give us added depth at
every position. We can score from any
where on the court. Deitric, these girls
have a lot of quickness to score in tran
sition, our motion offense works very
well, and we can come at our oppo
nents from downtown [3 point land].
We just don’t want our opponents do
ing the same. Hopefully, we can de
velop as a team to the point where we
can “slap the handcuffs” on any team
we play.”
“Deitric, if these ladies do the things
that they are capable of, we could go
all the way.”
DD: “Hey Coach, can I go?”
CT: “Sure Deitric!”
On The Run
At the beginning of this semester I
was graced with the opportunity to talk
with a member of the FSU Cross
Country Team. Louis Strickland, a jun
ior majoring in Criminal Justice is a
character leader for the team. The oth
ers look up to him for guidance and he
gives that guidance by leading them
with his examples.
When asked about the outlook for
the season his reply was, pausing for a
brief second, “building on last year’s
good finish, we’re looking for the team
to stay consistently competitive in ev
ery meet.” Staying competitive will
come with being dedicated to the train
ing, ranging from two hours of condi
tioning exercise, weight lifting, and 45
minutes of long distance running.
In order to become successful, one
has to run with plenty of heart, like
Kyle Baylock and Bobby Hostler. Last
season these two men went beyond
their personal expectations by drop
ping time off their previous records.
Strickland also dropped four minutes
off of his time and commented that
“the team as a whole will make major
advancements in time through the
training process.”
When asked about his future
thoughts, Strickland commented on the
fact the he is grateful to his dedicated
teammates, although he would like to
field a larger team. He also spoke of
the fact that there is very little support
given the cross country team. A ban
ner or a flyer will go along way in
terms of encouragement, especially if
you’ve run 20 grueling minutes and
you still have 5 minutes to go with
another opponent that you must catch
in order to score points. It tends to be
come more than a “wee bit” exhaust
ing.
Folks, it’s not everybody that can
get up and run cross country, so sup
port those that do because they repre
sent you, not only as the members of
an athletic Xeam, but also as members
of the same student body. You know
the flavor. PEACE!
Just Win Baby
The football game between the
Broncos of FSU and the Panthers of
Virginia Union (Va. U.) ended in dead
lock 21-21.
The game received its final score
when Darnell Cox raced 85 yards on a
Va.U. kickoff after their score in the
fourth quarter. According to Larry
Chance, “he just hitched a ride on a
Concorde.” The tie was sealed when the
Bronco’s recovered a Panther fumble.
Offensively, “The Greatest Show on
Earth”...not! However, it was a definite
improvement. They scored fourteen
points on offense which doubles their
previous output of seven points for the
last two games. Kickoff and punt re
turns are listed as defense. There was
one rushing touchdown by Luvie “let
me loose” LaSane and one touchdown
pass by quarterback Jermaine Bryant to
Sedrick Utley. Also Walter Young, a
freshman running back, had a nice jaunt
of yards. Perceivably, there could
have been an attempt for the go ahead
score; however when one commits the
Cardinal Sin of fumbling the ball (turn
over), it’s usually hard to win a close
game, which the Broncos proved.
The Defense gave the crowd of
2,348 (band included) a solid perfor
mance once again. Hats off to the guys
on “D” due to the fact they are (at time
of publication) second ranked defense
in the CIAA. Translated: they’ve been
playing “smash mouth” with their op
ponents and winning. Don’t get the big
head, guys!
When asked for some inspiring
words Wayne Hodges, SGA President
said, “Just win baby!”
