Quakers fed to
By Bruce Teachey
The season finale for Guilford ended in defeat as
the Mountain Lions of Concord proved to be too
quick and too strong in handing the Quakers a 46-3
loss. The West Virginia team, who is now 9-1, and
ranked third in the NAIA, used a strong running
game in piling up a total of 277 yards. However, big
plays once again proved to be devastating to
Guilford.
After Concord scored on its second drive with
tailback Alfred Smith scoring on a 43-yard scamper,
the Quakers moved down to the Concord 11-yard
line. From there, Brian Wilson kicked a 30-yard
field goal to make the margin 7-3. Guilford never
got closer than this four point spread. The rest of
the scoring proved to be nothing more than a
Mountain Lion replay film. Smith scored once
again on a 37-yard run on the first play of the second
quarter. Two field goals by Eddie Rankin and a two
yard run by Robert McDonald made the score 23-3

this season's basketball team.

The Lady Quakers lost to the
UNC-G Spartans 68-74 in their
first scrimage game of the
season. The Quakers were
outplayed throughout the game
except for a five minute stretch
at the beginning of the second
period. Guilford, however, did
make many good runs at the
Spartans, leading them 39-38 at
one point. It was also the first
game for the new Guilford coach
Judie Flynn, who arrived from
Alan Jay. Coach Flynn had
several comments about
Tuesday's match. "Although we
were outplayed most of the game,
the team shows many
possibilities for this season. I feel
Lions in finale
at the half. The second half witnessed more as a
field goal, two touchdown runs from five yards and
12 yards respectively, and an interception return of
35 yards made the final score 46-3.
For the second week in a row, the Guilford
secondary shut down the passing game giving up
only 4of 18 passes for 61 yards. However, the
Quaker offense committed three turnovers in which
Concord capitalized. This could be attributed to the
fact that quarterback Keith Millner was out and
that three quarterbacks were shuffled. Guilford
also lost Eric Holsenback in the first quarter which
hurt the Quaker defense.
Guilford finished the season at 5-5 but should not
hang their heads low. The team experienced a
rough schedule playing four road games in a row
while also playing four teams that were nationally
ranked at some point in the season. Coach Charles
Forbes should be happy with the team's play this
year.
we'll be very competitive in the
conference. We'll have to see the
other teams play before we know
for sure."
Tuesday's game showed some
outstanding play from some new
Guilford recruits. Both freshmen
Lois Wright and Melanie Bledsoe
led the scoring as well as showing
some impressive effort. Wright
led the scoring with 23 points,
while Bledsoe obtained another
15 points. The rest of the team
scoring was as follows: Karen
Joyner-2, Tammy Strickland-4,
Hope Dixon-5, Cathy Edwards-6,
Sharon Parks-8, and Amy
Parrish-5 points. Good luck
Quakers on the upcoming season!
Little experience, but lots of staying power
By Scott Bradford
The upcoming version of the
Guilford College men's
basketball team proves to be
much different from last year's
edition. Gone from the squad are
four starters: Wayne Freeman,
Postell Seymour, Sporty
Geralds and Greg Sims. All that
remains are four players from
last year's team, which went 12-
16, and was Coach Jack Jenson's
first losing team in 11 years of
head coaching at Guilford. He is
now faced with the task of
developing 8 new players, in
cluding six freshmen, one
transfer, and a senior who has
never played at Guilford.
Returning are junior starter
Ben Barrett at guard, sophomore
reserves James Haygood and
Tommy Irvin and junior reserve
Eley Boone. The freshmen are

Another Quaker falls prey to the Mountain Lions of Concord in
Guilford's final game.
Jerry Greenwood, Chris Lam
bert, Mike Apple, Bill Gross,
Keith King and Dan Ogburn. The
lone senior is Kenny Geotze while
Blaise Cancro is a junior transfer
who is out indefinitely with a
broken wrist.
Says Jenson, "In my 16 years
as both an assistant and head
coach, I've never had a situation
like this before. We are ex
tremely inexperienced and I've
never let freshmen contribute
this much before." Four of the
top players figure to be fresh
men.
Because there are so many new
players, team attitude is much
improved from last year when
the Quakers were often lethargic
and plaqued by a case of
"senioritis." The infusion of new
talent has led to a positive at :
titude and good practices,
something Coach Jenson is glad
to see after last season. "Even
Guilfordian, November 19, 1981
though I have no idea what this
team's going to do, I've seen a
difference in attitudes (from last
year)", remarks Jenson, "These
kids don't know when to quit."
The team is characterized as
quick, but relatively small. As
with previous Guilford teams, the
Quakers will attempt to fast
break and move the ball up the
court quickly to capitalize on
their speed. On defense the
Quaker will play pressure man
to-man and zone when in foul
trouble.
Unfortunately, the freshmen,
as well as the team as a whole,
must mature quickly. They open
the season at home, Saturday
Nov. 21, against Catawba.
Defending Carolinas Conference
champion, Catawba is even
stronger and is picked to top the
conference again and win
District 26, which Guilford also
competes in.
