Back row, iphow by Greg bossbu Coach Sees League Title Possible for Lady Braves By MENFORD GRISEWOULD The Chowan women’s basket ball team will be looking for the league title this season according to Coach Winslow. That statement comes from a man who is enthus ed about his “experienced sophomores and talented freshmen.” In comparing this year’s team to last year’s, Coach Winslow said the team is much stronger now, because the highly talented freshmen can substitute for the sophomores, and not have a serious handicap. Although Coach Winslow has high expectations for this year’s team, he has sighted some weakness in the defense and runn ing games. He also said that the high rate of turnovers would be an important factor. Starting off with the sophomores, he praised Willie Wilson’s ballhandling ability, Laura Brailford’s outside shooting ability, Deborah Brown’s defensive talents, Queenie Tor- rences’s quickness and defense, Gayle Batts’ rebounding and her ability to score inside, and Sandra Brown’s ability to shoot outside. Freshmen getting recognition from Coach Winslow are Sandra Dixon with her defensive quickness, leaping and outside shooting ability; Jenifer Cherry’s exceptionally good moves with the ball; Donnie Stevens’s good touch in shooting’ Jackie Gare’s good touch in shooting; Nancy Fleming’s excellent shooting, and Terry Tyler’s extremely good leaping ability. Although the women’s team ex pects a good year. Coach Winslow said that Truett-McConnell, Peace, Louisburg and Anderson are teams that could pose serious threats to the Braves. “Support by students, faculty and staff members is also needed in a successful basketball pro gram,” says Coach Winslow. He went on to say, “The girls are working hard in trying to build a winning team this year. With the man-to-man defense and fast breaks, we feel like it would be fun to play and more fun for people to watch. The support of the entire college could also make the dif ference in winning or losing.” Date Nov. 28 Nov. 30 Dec. 3 Dec. 5 Dec. 8 Dec. 11 Jan.14.... Jon. 16. ... Jon. 19. ... Jan. 21 Jan. 23... .
