Volume 75, Issue 5 SERVING BREVARD COLLEGE SINCE 1935 Oct. 2, 2009
THE WIN STREAK CONTINUES
by Richard Bush
Staff Writer
Brevard improves to 5-0 overall, and 1-0
in conference play as the Tornados continue
their most successful start to a season since
the program was reinstated in 2006.
Billed as a game with the two most po
tent rushing attacks in NCAA Division 11,
neither team was able to gain traction on
the playing surface as steady rain worsened
field conditions to the point where players
started slipping and falhng due to the mud
pits on the field.
Brevard College senior class was not
going to let the conditions get in the way
of their chance to win their first game in the
South Atlantic Conference.
Good intensity by the players and great
preparation by the coaching staff made the

goal of wiiming our first conference game
that much more achievable.
Although the offense rushed for a sea
son low of 113 yards on 44 carries, the
Tornados were still victorious. They were
led by Michel Crumbaker, with 22 carries
for 74 yards.
The defense may have played their best
game yet this year. At times, it seemed as
though our players knew what plays were
coming before Lenoir-Rhyne could even
snap the ball.
One of the defensive highlights came
when sophomore Michel Gist returned an
interception for a touchdown to put the
Tornados up 14-0.
The Bears battled back, however, and
with the score at 14-9game on the lin,
Richard Ray recovered a fumble late in the
game to clinch win for the Tornados.

sidelines as a spectator instead of a player

When Fall has taken center-stage, the
mountains of North Carolina give us a
mystical show. The mornings bring frozen
dew, and as the fog lifts from the earth, the
trees begin to blare their reds, yellows and
oranges. And as the sun sets, a deep and
desolate darkness falls over the mountains
and hills of Brevard. It is here in the cold,
silent fall night that Savaimah Hill comes
alive.

see the game from another angle.
By watching from the sidelines, 1 was
able to notice a huge difference in this
year’s and last year’s team. Players have
more emotion on the field and they seem
very disciphne and confident in their as
signments.
Coach Hamilton, along with his well
respected coaching staff, has taught the
players to believe and trust in their team
mates and the schemes that we need to
execute weekly.
This year’s senior class has provided
Brevard College with many memories over
the years, but none of the seasons in the
past can compare to this one. This is the
last season Brevard College will be blessed
with having the class that restarted the
program and had the opportunity to build
it from the ground up.
Underthe seniors’ leadership, the Torna
dos will look to continue to give our fans an
emotional and exciting season while striv
ing towards our ultimate goal of wiiming

Ross Hall was built in the early 1900’s on
what used to be called Savannah Hill.
Originally built to be a summer home
for tourists, Ross Hall was later bought
by Brevard Institute, who transformed the
summerhome into aboy’s dorm. However
the legends of Savannah Hill date back to
the late 1800’s during the Civil War
Clippings from The Clarion as far back
