The Aletheia Montreat-Anderson College Wednesday, November 18, 1992 Lady Cavs Gear up for the NAIA Division TVAC Must Adapt to Woman to Woman Defense By Jennifer Gunsch This year the Lady Cavs are entering a new conference, which will prove to be a great challenge for the Ladies. Coach Bostic, however, has high expectations for this year. She believes she has a good group of athletes on this year's team. "This is the hardest working and most team- oriented squad I have coached since I have been at M-AC." boasts Bostic. The team has five returning players from last year and six new freshmen. They will have to work hard and give everything they have to come out on top. Coach Bostic is hoping to im prove on last season's 11 -15 record. She believes the team is capable of being a .500 team. The harder the team works, the more they will im prove. Bostic is also introducing new offensive and defensive strate gies for the team this year. The ladies will play a very up - tempoed, but disciplined offense. A team- oriented woman to woman defense will be used to pressure the ball. No one will be left alone, everyone will work together to keep the oppo nents from scoring. Under the leadership of Alison S wanger and Daphanie B ousum, co captains of this season's squad, the team will strive to be a successful team which will play hard and give everything they have, even if they do not win every game. Senior, Alison Swanger, supplies this pre diction, "I feel this will be the best year for women's basketball here at Montreat. Everyone will put in a large contribution. There will not be one dominant player on the team. Everyone will be a key factor." On November 20, the Ladies will be faced with their first away game. They will be challenging Bryan College, which is located about 38 miles north of Chattanooga. Bryan College, like M-AC, is also in the process of growing and be coming a stronger team. This should allow Friday's game to be a chal lenging event. The Lady Cavs will have to be a dedicated squad in order to bring home the victory Coach Bostic feels is entirely pos sible. The Saturday following the Bryan game the Ladies will travel to Covenant College, a standing con ference rival. This should prove to be an extremely competitive, and physical game. Last year the record of victories was split between the two teams. "The team will have to go out and take charge the first few minutes of the match or Covenant will run away with it." Coach Bostic states. Being against a confer ence rival, this game could prove tobecmcialtoour team's standing at the end of the sea son. The Transition Game Men's Basketball Adapts to Four Year Program By Matt Haney M-AC Basketball is entering a new age in its development. This is the first season that the men's pro gram has competed on the four year level. Gone are the days when Divi sion I caliber players would come to M-AC in an effort to bring their grades up to meet a four year programs re quirements. Today, as a member of NAIA Division II, M-AC players must have and maintain tougher academic requirements than ever before. It seems that the M-AC players have made the transition fairly smoothly.

He has also commented on how well the men have adjusted both academically and socially to the pres sures of being on a NAIA squad. The coaches seem to be pleased with this years crop of Freshmen, though Coach McNamara feels they still aren't playing up to the level they should be at. The coaching staff has high expectations for this group of young men. After all, these players are the material for the solid founda tion which will give M-AC the power it needs to dominate our conference two to three years down the road. When Coach McNamara was asked what phrases best exemplified his mood for the season he responded: "TEAM-Together Each Accom plishes More" & "Enthusiasm makes a difference," This past weekend the Cavs musthave played Enthusiastic TEAM ball, as they defeated King College, 86 - 72, for third place in the Embry- Riddle Tourney. The A/cf/ic/a Player of the Game goes to Rodney Scott. An Editorial.. Bush Fan Questions Change By Paul Shockley Now that the political hoop-la has died down and all that is left are the campaign signs littering various trees and telephone poles throughout the country, we find ourselves facing a new president and a new administration. Of course this does mean changes in our governmental system, and all the Clinton supporters seem to have great expectations in the changes that are in the planning. However, is change really all that it's cracked up to be? Plus, which direction are all these changes taking us? Obviously, change is inevitable, but Just because mankind continues in the never ending search called progress, do we just throw tradition out the window? I would like to think not! Then again, is that not the general consensus of the voting majority, or so it seems according to the election results. The Bush/Quayle campaign was apparently not prepared or may not even be aware of what our country has become today. In economic disparity, it can be expected that the public will blame the current president and want change. However, what I want to know is, what are we going to have to give up for all these wonderful changes? For example, our hard earned money that is going to go up in smoke under the label - taxes? Or what about our traditional family values? - No, I do not consider a couple of married homosexuals a family? Or what about our nation's defense? Finally, the sole reason that Bush was not re-elected was simply because he was running for President in the wrong country. The country that Bush ran for, four years ago, I believe, no longer exists. That country of course is - traditional America. The Bush/Quayle campaign depended on those supporters of a God fearing country that believes in traditional family values, pro - life, environmental values, religious values, and general conservative beliefs. Unfortunately, Bush's appeal was only welcomed by a little more than one-third of the election day's votes. I do not mind swallowing my pride, but throwing away our nations's pride is what bothers me. True, we must get on with our lives and support for our government is a must! Who knows, maybe traditional America can once again be found in four years. Until then my only prayer is, "Please God have mercy on us."
