Sports
Men's Team Suffers
By Frank Salley
The Guilford College Men's
basketball team started this year
supposedly with a reemergence
to prominence. But instead they
found themselves floundering
with an early 1 and 3 record. This
poor start can be attributed to a
host of injuries and transfer in
eligibility, transfers can't par
ticipate until Dec. Bth. The result
of this is that the Quakers are
playing with only 8 men.
In the Tipoff Tourney at
Greensboro College the Quakers
lost their first game to Musk
ingan of Ohio. The Quakers led
the first thirty minutes before
fading away and losing 58-49. The
Quakers had no one who could
cool the hot shooting hand of
Muskingan guard Mark Dempsey
who singed the nets for 27. The
Quakers were paced by Chris
Lambert and Bobby Jones with 12
each.
The next night the Quakers
took on Adrian College of
Mighigan only to meet the same
fate. Going into the locker room
at intermission the Quakers
found themselves down bv eight.
The Quakers made several
threats at cutting this lead but
never got any closer that 3 points.
Playing with only four men, the
Season Recapped
By Doug Drotman
Although student interest was
low, the football teams' perfor
mance was far from poor this
year. The team finished with a
5-4-1 record but was very close to
a 7-3 season.
Every loss this season was to
teams that "should have" blown
the Quakers off the field. Teams
the caliber of Lenior-Rhyne, Elon
and Davidson are perenial
powers and offer 23 scholarships
as compared with 13 for the
Quakers.
With all but one 1982 starter
returning, an experienced of
fense was starting the season.
Everyone expected a high power
offense, but the Quakers were
more of a ball control offense.
Coach Forbes admits that the of
fense did not live up to expecta
tions. The offensive line was com
prised of three seniors including
all-district 26 second team per
former Eric Scott. The line was
at times awesome but often broke
down in protection and sent the
quarterbacks scrambling.
The season opened with Earl
Clinton as the outright number
one quarterback but ended with
Clinton sharing the job with
senior David Cunningham. Clin
ton's fine 1982 season was cut
short due to a knee injury, leav
ing him hoping to come back
strong in 1983. Cunningham hit on
over 55% of his passes and put
coach Forbes into a dilemna
when deciding on a starting
quarterback.
The receiving corps was com
prised of two seniors and one
sophomore. Clinton and Cunn
ingham's primary targets were
Greg Weaver (26-351), Buddy
Halbert (31-368, 6td) and Mark
Walker (17-212) Weaver and
Walker concluded their careers
this season while Halbert has two
more seasons of eligibility.
struggling Quakers lost to the
visiting Bobcats 70-66, Bob Mang
led Adrian with 17 points. The
Quakers were led by Darryl
Dozier with 19, Chris Lambert
with 13, and Tommy Irvin with 12.
The next opponent was
Longwood College. The Quakers
wanted to beat them badly
because of a tension filled defeat
last season. The Quakers finally
put it all together offensively and
defensively to come up with a
68-63 victory.
The Quakers were led by Bobby
Jones 21 pts., and Chris Lambert
15. The high scorer for Longwood
was Jerome Kersey with 25. The
Quakers then went on to Mars
Hill.
At Mars Hill the Quakers suf
fered a relaspe. The great play
they displayed in the win against
Longwood had vanished. The of
ficials called a very tight game
with Bobby Jones picking up 4
first half personals. To make
matters worse the young Mars
Hill team shot 60% from the floor.
They blew the game side open to
defeat the Quakers 77-60. The
Quakers were led by Darryl
Dozier 26 points. Todd Blondin
pumped in 24 for Mars Hill.
Underclassmen Marty Hemric
and John Montgomery gained ex
perience helpful for next season
play.
The starting backfield of 1982 of
Charlie Heard and Mike Reardon
returned but were upstaged by
Billy Holland and Terry Jones.
Although Heard was the leading
rusher with 440 yards he was
frustrated once again when he
was sidelined with another in
jury. When Heard played he was
dangerous as in his 142 yard ef
fort versus Concord. The cliche,
"Something good always comes
out of something bad," was fit
ting when Heard was sidelined.
Jones got his first opportunity to
prove himself and juked his way
to 327 yards and 13 pass recep
tions. Holland replaced Reardon
as the starting fullback and rush
ed for 315 yards.
The defense in 1983 was pro
bably the team's strong point.
The defense had one shutout and
kept all but three of their foes
under 20 points. Coach Forbes
pointed out that the linebackers
would be his big play men and
certainly correct. The foursome
of Charles Kepley, Scott
O'Kelley, Nicky Bazzle and Billy
Smith dominated opponents' run
ning games while picking off
three passes between them.
Smith made a smooth transaction
from tight end to linebacker in
1983. With the experience and off
season conditioning Smith may
Ibe able to be a solid force next
season. Coach Forbes praised
backups Todd Shuping and Trent
Tucker along with Kirk Knight.
The secondary was led by All-
District performer Fernell Jef
ferson (Fint.) and senior Ashley
Hassard. Kicker Bryan Wilson
was the other All-District per
former.

By Susan Anderson
When the Guilford College
Women's basketball team started
pre-season practice this year on
