He is now at Gardner Webb wrestling on a $8,000.00 per year scholarship. Last year,as a semor, BUI led the team. He won in the Regional Tournament and the Stale Tournament His record duringhissenioryearwas39-l. Bill won over 100 matches in his entire high school career, and this year at Gradner Webb he is expected to have a productive season. Bill’s first tournament was the Winston Salem open on Saturday November 3. At this tournament he wresUed in the 158 pound weight class. There were sixteen teams in the tournament, and he finished fourth in his weight class. Also at this toumament wrestling for Campbell was Bobby Rushing. He is also doing well in his season. Unfortunately he was injured in his first match and was not able to finish the toumament. Bill is looking forward to the remainder of the season. He is excited about traveling to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida for different tournaments. The Gardner Webb team is expected to be fairly strong and do very well in the S.A.C.-8 conference. The team is primarily made up of guys from the North and the state of Georgia. Bill is only one of two wresUers on the team from North Carolina. Coach Wince says, “Bill is one of our best technique wresders, and he will probably start at 150 pounds or 158 pounds." Bill misses Albemarle wrestling practice and the hard conditioning that came with it. Bill says that college wrestling is tough, but he does not have a lot of free time. Outside of wrestling he enjoys his school work and spending time with his newly found girlfrietrfJPat^ Bill Scell shows the form that won him a scholarship to Gardner Webb. 200 M.P.H. - Are You Kidding? By Bill Aldridge Waltrip. Petty. Martin. Wallace. Do these names sound familiar? To most people here, these names have no meaning. But to mUlions of fans here in the CaroUnas. every Sunday, these are the guys that are on the tube or outon the track battiing each other for the checkered flag. This sport is NASCAR. It is one that involves ultimate speed and precision. Though it may not be very popular here among teenagers, it is a sport which has defmite roots in the older fans who enjoy it the most. There are some who even remember the days when they used to race along the sandy shores of Daytona Beach in the 50’s and 60 s. Racing since then has changed in many ways, some say for the better while others say for the worse. One definite improvement is the s{»ed, which increased dramatically until the restrictor plates were placed on the carbuorators. The driv ers handle these cars at speeds exceeding 200 m.p.h.. This year , just as any other has been no different for the driver’s and fans of NASCAR. The speed and enthusiasm is as great as it’s ever been. It looks as if Dale Earnhardt might win the Winston Cup Points Series, but not before fight ing off Mark Martin one last time at Atlanta. Here the championship will be decided as Earnhardt only has a six pwint lead. Earnhardt likes this track and blew away the competition last year. All eyes will be watching and anticipating a great finish to the season. Until next time, keep yovir car on the road and your speed at a minimum. t^fcstern Steer, Family STEAKS30USS 1225 Pee Dee Ave. Alhemarfe.
