The Clarion Tuesday, November 23,1932 Striking for the National Title Soccer Team Enters Battle Tomorrow By Richard Halliburton The Brevard College soccer team made another big step in its march for the national title by emerging victorious in the Southeastern Region^ Tourna ment in Deland, Florida this past November 13. The Tornados defeated tenth- ranked Andrew College 2-0. The entire season has gone well for the Brevard hooters, current ly posting a strong 15-4-1 record. The team has even won the BC In vitational Tournament, emerged as co-champions of the NJCAA Region X conference, and more recently became the NJCAA Southeastern Champions which includes all junior colleges east of Texas, and south of West Virginia. The season has also been quite productive for co-captain David Mobley, recently nominated to the All-American squad. Five players were named to the Region X first team: David Mobley (with 11 goals and two assists), Leo Coleman (with nine goals and four assists), Danny Kristmann (leading scorer for the team with 13 goals and six assists), Jeff Frost, and Monroe Reese. Jerry Schnelker earned Honorable Mention. The season hasn’t seemed quite as easy to fifth-year coach Don Scarborough as it may appear. He says that the team lost several games that it should have easily won. He also noted that the team had a tendency to “play down” to teams that appeared to be not as skilled. Losses to Spartanburg- Methodist, Covenant, and the tie with a weak Erskine squad should not have occurred, accor ding to the coach. Says Scaroborough, “The only team that beat us that should have beat us was South Carolina (6-0 loss to their varsity squad).” The 1982 season also produced a somewhat bitter rivalry with Spartanburg-Methodist. In the three games that they played with the Tornados, they beat us once-a very controversial loss. That particular game was con trolled by only one referee due to the fact that the others that were expected to arrive shortly after game time never showed. Scaroborough made the decision to go ahead and play in anticipa tion of the official’s arrival-a decision that he regrets. With only one official calling the game, things began to get chippy with the game resulting in three warnings issued to Brevard players, and two SMC players were ousted for misconduct. After the smoke settled, the final score read 4-1, even though SMC was outshot 18-8. Brevard picked itself up, however, and defeated Spartan burg 3-2 several weeks later in the divisional play-offs. After capturing the Region X ti tle, the team traveled to Stetson University in Florida for the NJCAA Southeastern finals. This was the first time in 12 years that a Brevard College team played in national soccer competition. Brevard drew a bye for Friday’s competiton, while An drew Community College defeated Miami-Dade South after four overtime periods and a final sudden-death shoot-out. Pre-tourney anticipation perhaps made the team a little nervous until it finally arrived at the site. As Coach Don put it, “When we got there the first days and saw the two teams play, I knew we were going to win, Jim my (Whitesides) knew we were going to win, and everybody knew we were going to win it.” The problem that next arose was keeping the team mentally psyched for the match. On Saturday, unranked Brevard met Andrew College, ranked tenth in the tourney and undefeated. BC recognized AC’s English style of play, and countered, taking a strong 2-0 victory with both goals being knocked in by Danny Kristmann.. “We won by winning the balls in the air (an English style of Defender John Slayton hugs striker David Mobley after the Tornados defeated Andrew College 2-0, captur ing the NJCAA Southeastern Title. play), and taking away their only option of play,” explained Scar borough, also noting that the score could have been four or five to nil if not for several shots hit ting the crossbar. “Everyone was determined that we play as a unit, and the other team played individually. Everybody had a good game,” stated Scarborough. The Tornados will not have long to savor their victory however, because they next travel to Trenton, New Jersey tomorrow to represent the entire Southeast in the national tourna ment. The first game will pit Brevard against Prince George’s Com munity College of Maryland. Other schools playing include teams from New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Oklahoma. The championship will' be played this Saturday. MOST STUDENTS DON'T KNOW THAT ARMY ROrC LEADS TO AN ARMY OFFICERS COMMISSION AT GRADUATION" Besides studying for his degree in management, senior Scott Bacon is also learning what it takes to become an officer through Army ROTC. “I attended an Army ROTC Day during my freshman summer ori entation. When I found out you weren’t obligated to anything your freshman and sophomore years, I decided to try it. I enjoy ROTC. I'm learning things I normally wouldn’t learn in college. Like leadership theories. And tactics. The manage- ment training you receive is really good, too. It helped me a lot with my other management courses. “I’m pretty involved with the University, so I’m glad ROTC doesn’t take up a lot of time. It’s just a couple of hours a week. At the end of your junior year, you have to go to Ad vanced Camp. It’s a lot of fun. You get introduced to everything the Army has to offer. Tanks, helicopters, you name it. “In your last two years of ROTC, you receive $100 a month. The way I see it, ROTC is paying you money Scott Bacon, management major and member of Army ROTC. ARMY ROIC. BEAUYOUCANBE. and you just give the Army back a little of your time. When I get out of the Army, my experience should make it easier to get a job. Corporations look for officers, because they have expe rience managing people and equip ment. And 1 think starting salaries might be higher because of that experience.” For Scott Bacon, adding Army ROTC to his college schedule has really paid off. Because it actually added another dimension to his col lege education. And Army ROTC can do the same for you. For more information, stop by the Army ROTC office on your cam pus today. And begin your future as an officer. Contact: Captain Jim Harrison Brevard College McCiarty-Goodson Room 108 Phone 883-8292, ext. 232
