Bethune Cookman and Maryland-Eastern Shore were picked to finish in the MEAC women's second division. The preseason selections for both were announced Oct. 7 at press conference at the Baltimore Arena. "My team finds itself in a Catch-22 situation where in situa tions like this," said Coppin State coach Ron "Fang" Mitchell, who returns five starters, including tour nament MVP Stephen Stewart. There s nothing for us to achieve except failure." Mitchell will be without the services of Tariq Saunders, who Mitchell dismissed from the team for academic reasons. Mitchell said Saunders, who placed on the MEAC all-tournament team, meets the school s eligibility requirements but will not play until 1994-95. The press conference was also a formal introduction of four new coaches into the league. Bethune Cookman coach Maurice "Tony" Sheals, Ron Brown of Florida A&M and N.C. A&T s Felton Jeff' Capel are the new faces that will grace the men's sidelines. Lisa Jones begins her inaugural, campaign at Mary land-Eastern Shore after serving under Willie Simons for two sea sons. * The prescription for the past is not going to be the medicine we're going to take anymore." warned Sheals, who replaced 31 -year head coach Cy McClairen. Sheals did lament on the fact that his team will embark on a 13-game road trip to start the season and described his non-conference schedule as a "jour ney through hell." ?Capel faces a similar task replacing Don Corbett, who won seven MEAC tournament titles. But Capel will have an advantage in that he has preseason MEAC player of the year Jamaine Williams on his squad. Former Skater from page bi Justin did not take it seriously until he gave up the roller skates entirely _ this August -"Actually, it wasn't that diffi cult to give it up," Justin said. "I just took that as far as I could. It was simply time to go on." To stay in condition for track during the off season, Justin decided to see if he liked cross country. But when he asked Mt. Tabor coach Guy Spear about trying out. Justin was already at a disadvantage. "While most kids were practice ing for this season during the sum mer, Justin was competing in skat ing so he wasn't quite ready by the third meet," Spear said. "He would be tired after a couple of miles and would see about taking a shortcut. "But he one thing that impress es me about Justin is that he has overcome all those obstacles. Depending on how far he takes it. he could become a very good runner by the time he finishes." Justin would hang in and even tually earned a spot on the squad. After becom ing better conditioned. Spears saw his diamond in the rough turn into a more polished runner by the end of the sea son. Justin has moved up to the eighth spot on the squad, frequently ' competing with the var ~ sityrrunners. He tras even moved into that class for several meets, but Spear kept him on the jayvee team for his further development. "He used to come home tired after every practice, but Justin did n't quit," Sandra Mcln tyre said. "He knew > how far hexame and one Mt. Tabor i INfti * thing Justin is and that's a goal-set ter." Justin has also been a goal-set ter off the tracks. An honor student with a 3.58,grade point average, Justin plans to attend either N.C. State or N.C. A&T and major in architectural engineering. Justin was also honored as a selection in the Duke Power Partners Program, a program designed for minorities who plan to major in accounting or engineering. Sandra Mclntyre is proud of the fact her son has been able to maintain a high level of academic performance and become a success as a black athlete in what is per ceived to be mostly white, middle class sport. "Justin never has had a prob lem with that because most of his skating team was,.white," Sandra Mclntyre said. "I've asked him if being the only black on the team ever bothered him, but he never mentions it nor uses it as an excuse. * \ * runner Justin Mclntyre in action. I've tried to instill a positive attitude in him by being his role model." : Carver Moody led the defense with 14 tack les and two interceptions. North ? Forsyth fell to 3-6-1 for the season. Mt.
