nior Jeremy Witteveen have been
cast for the full length commer
cial.
“My wife and I travel all over
the country, and we’ve seen
many Christian Campuses. Based
on what we’ve seen, if people
knew about Montreat, they
would come here in droves; this
campus is so beautiful,” ex
plained Jim. “Where ever we
travel, I make sure I promote
Montreat College.”
The duet have considered
other ways to boost the college.
“We are thinking about creating
a CD, with 60 short two minute
blurbs on the environment writ
ten from a Christian perspectve.
Everything would be produced
by Montreat College.”
“There’s talk of creating a
music video which would be in
terdepartmentally written and
produced. These types of things
would be win-win situations for
the college, because students
would get involved, interning
hands-on, which is all resume
material, then the school gets
good PR because people see
what kinds of things this school
is involved in.”
Recently, the couple recorded
a two-hour radio drama which
will be syndicated on several ra
dio stations around the country
including Michigan and Califor
nia. This weekend, they will per-
fonn at Dr. James Dobson’s con
ference “Life on the Edge.” The
conference will include music
group 4 Him and artist/author

Volleyball Team Scores Rare
Victory over North Greenville
Coach Brooks eyes the final four...
By Christian Malone
Monday night, the Montreat
volleyball team ended an eight-
game losing skid with a three-
set thrashing of North Greenville
at McAlister Gymnasium.
Coach Jbby Brooks and the
team hope the victory will lead
to a few more wins for the team.
Midway tlirough the first set,
the score was tied, 7-7. But then
the Lady Cavaliers turned up the
heat, taking eight of the next nine
points to win the first set.
After that, the Lady Cavs just
got hotter, winning the next two
sets 15-8 and 15-2 to close out
the match and up their record to
2-8.
Brooks said, “We executed
well tonight. This was some of
the best volleyball we’ve played
so far this year.”
Over the weekend, the re
sults weren’t as favorable for the
Lady Cavaliers, as they lost two
five-set conference matches in a
span of 16 hours.
Friday night, the Lady Cava
liers lost the first two sets to
Covenant, 15-6 and 17-15, before
rallying to win the next two 15-6
and 15-11. But the Lady Scots
would not be denied, and pulled
out the win by the narrowest of
margins, 15-13.
Saturday morning, Montreat
lost another five-setter, this time
to Bryan. The Lady Cavaliers
Jumped out in front early on, win
ning the first two sets 17-15 and
16-14. The Lady Lions then re
turned take the next two and send
the match into a decisive fifth
set. Bryan then ran away with
the fifth set, winning 15-6.
Despite the sour record.
Brooks has a lot of confidence
in his team. He says, “Our goal
is to be one of the top four teams
in the tournament this year.”
Hoyle hammers Tourney homer
by Christian Malone
Last weekend, the baseball
team hosted the first annual
Montreat College Baseball Tour
nament. The Cavaliers only went
2-3, but ended up winners in other
ways.
Montreat started Saturday off
with a bang. They defeated
Wilkes Community College 8-3
behind a strong hitting attack and
solid pitching from Everett Pittillo.
After a short break, the Cavalier
offense got even hotter, scoring
12 runs hammering Surry Commu
nity College, 12-6. Jacob Hoyle’s
tape-measure home run in the top
of the seventh finished off Surry.
Third baseman Shane
Brannock said, “We played like
the future TVAC champions
against Wilkes and Surry.”
But the Cav’s fortunes would
soon change, as Walters State
handed Montreat their first loss
of the tournament, 8-3, late Satur
day afternoon.
On Sunday, both the weather
and tlie Cavaliei's cooled down tre
mendously.
First, the Cavaliers fell 13-2 to
Brevard in a runaway. Next, it was
Lenoir-Rhyne’s turn to hammer
Montreat’s pitching, as the Bears
walked offwith a 6-1 victory.
Also, about 20 professional
scouts turned out to watch the
tournament and look at some play
ers, including Montreat pitcher
Matt Corrado. Chaplain said,
“The scouts were impressed by
several players out there, which
is great for them.”
