Scales, who formed the'vteam six years ago, has

? Broncos Manager Donald Scales.
Yet, the team has been unable to find a sponsor
and now Scales feels it is time for him to speak out.
He has become disenchanted with the black
business community, which he feels has turned their
backs to him.
"For the past two or three years, we have been
the best female softball team in the city and one of
the best in the state," says Scales. "We've played
throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and
Tennessee and done well in every tournament we
have participated in.

years and haven't been able to find anyone willing
to sponsor us," Scale continues. "It's kind of
frustrating because as much as I wish it wasn't true,
successful black businesses aren't interested in
sponsorship. *
"That seems hard to believe because most of the
players on the Broncos are from East Winston and
the black community," he says. "In a way it has
caused us to turn away from the black businesses.
Still, the Broncos have faced the area's top teams
on a regular basis and in most instances come out
on top. Scales has perpetuated his program by relying
on the top local college players and mixing in
some of the less experienced high schoolers.
Although the team is made up of all females,
Scales trains them hard and expects the most out of
them. .
"The girls know that I push them to be their
best," says Scales. "We have a lot of competition
on the team, but it works for the good of all of them
in the long run. We don't want to just be the best
softball team in Winston-Salem, we want to be the
best anywhere."
At least 10 Broncos team members were named to
the All-Northwest North Carolina Softball Team
during their high school years. Among the team's
top players are 1984 high school graduates Cassandra
Graham, Lyneatha Tillman and Tiffany

After compiling an 8-1-1 regular season record
and winning the CIAA Southern Division title a
year ago, the Winston-Salem State University Rams
enter the 1984 season with an air of optimism.

feature a veteran roster, with a couple of
newcomers who could see action during the season
sprinkled in.
R^ims coach Bill Hayes is keeping mum on who
he will start in the game and what he expects from
his team on Saturday. A co-favorite to win the
Southern Division title, the Rams are unpredictable
at this point of the pre-season, according to Hayes.
MOur players have worked very hard in tjie preseason
thus far and are in decent shape/' says
Hayes. "But until we play a good football team we
don't know what to expect.
"So far, the pre-season has been filled with ups
and downs," Hayes says. "We've had our good
days and our bad days. Some days we come out and

Alf-Northwest North Carolina pick) and Tillman
most exemplify what type of team we have," Scales
says. "They are very talented in every aspect of the

Hayes says at this point there are several positions
where the competition is so strong that he
won't announce until game time who will start. One
of them is the starting quarterback job.
