McCormick, Chavis
Gel Hoke Honors
The Hoke High coaching staff
has named Ricky Chavis as Male
Athlete of the Week and Jean
McCormick as Female Athlete of
the Week for the week of October
4-8.
Ricky Chavis is a 14-year-old ISO
pound freshman who does double
duty for the Bucks freshmen foot
ball team. Ricky is the starting
quarterback on offense and plays
corner on the defensive squad.
Ricky received the nod for
Athlete of the Week for his play in
the Ellerbee game, which Hoke
won, last Thursday. Ricky lead the
team offensively and scored the
winning touchdown. Defensively he
lead the team with five solo tackles
and caused three fumbles with his
sure tough tackling.
Coach Jack Southern praised
Ricky's leadership role after the
Ellerbee game.
"Ricky is the spiritual leader of
the team. When he plays well, the
team plays well. Ricky contributed
greatly to the win over Hlerbee,"
he said.
Ricky was involved in sports in
both years at Upchurch Junior
High. Ricky played football,
basketball and baseball in both the
seventh and eighth grades.
Last year he received the Coaches
Award, for best all around athlete,
and the MVP Award in basketball.
Ricky plans to play both basketball
and baseball this year.
Ricky is very involved in school
activities serving as Freshmen Class
President and a member of the
Homecoming Committee.
Ricky plans to attend college
after his completion of high school.
Ricky is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Oscar Chavis of Route 1, Red
Springs. ,
Jean McCormick, the Buck's
Female Athlete of the Week, is a
17-year-old senior member of the
girl's volleyball team.
Jean was nominated as Athlete of
the Week for her performance and
leadership role in the Pinecrest win
last Tuesday.
Coach Melissa McGougan
praised Jean's contribution to the
volleyball team by saying, "Jean is
a setter, a very unglorified position
on the team. The spikers usually
get the recognition, but they could
not score if the setter did not do a
good job of setting the ball. Jean
Local Women Feels
Accepted In
'Man's World'
With 13 years' experience, Rae
ford's JoAnn Simpson feels she has
been accepted in "man's world" of
hunting, says Charles Broad well in
his "Outdoors" column in the
September 19 Fayeiieville Observ
er-Fayetteville Times.
The following is also taken from
that column. '
Mrs. Simpson, a member of the
Raeford Hunting Gub, admits that
being a woman has caused her a
few problems, however.
"Going into a strange group,"
she says, "I think men kinda wish I
wasn't there, that I'm going to
shoot them or something.
"But then they are astonished I
can shoot and most of them accept
me. I go for the hunt and that's it.
By word of mouth, the clubs know I
can hunt and they let me do my
own thing."
"Her own thing" now involves
dove hunting mainly. Since she's
the mother of two children and is a
teacher at Upchurch Junior High
School, she has had to curtail her
hunting schedule. When she man
ages to find time, she hunts
comfortably, feeling much more at
ease out in the field. She isn't out to
prove a point to men, though; she
just enjoys hunting.
As for Women's Lib, she says
she's not completely for it or
anything but she thinks a lot of
women would love to hunt but feel
they're not supposed to. "I used to
worry about being in a man's
world," Mrs. Simpson adds, "but
then I decided to go ahead and do
it."
On her first hunt she bagged an
eight-point buck. "I was extra
nervous seeing that deer, and I
think it was more luck than
anything," she recalls.
But success is one reason why she
enjoys hunting.
On her second deer hunt, two
bucks came charging toward the
stump where she was sitting. She
turned and shot once. The gun
jammed on the second attempt to
shoot but the one shot felled one of
the deer.
Simpson has gained the repu
tation of being an accomplished
hunter and an expert marksman.
She and her husband. Dr. Lenwood
Simpson, moved to Raeford two
years ago after her husband was
appointed principal of Hoke
County High School. She says her
husband doesn't go much for
hunting.
Since they try to do things
together, she says, if he hunted
more, then she would, too.
She also plays tennis frequently
and is a member the Hoke County
Tennis Association.
She has gone on two dove hunts
this year and got her limit once.
If the birds are flying, Mrs.
Simpson says, usually she has no
trouble getting the limit.
Dove hunting, she says, is "keep
ing calm and picking your shots."
She adds, "I've never practiced
hunting. I guess it comes natural
ly-"
Her children, she says, don't
really like her hunting, but she
figures it's in her blood. A member
of an outdoors family, she went on
her first hunt 13 years ago and feels
that was what started her love of
hunting.
