"‘God Squad’’ #lin Tournament by Ronnie Warrick The 1985 men's intramural volleyball season was filled with four excellent teams and action personified.The season featured intense action and play courtesy of the Explorers, the God Squad, Mauney's Misfits, and the Racketeers, with the predominately freshmen team, the God Squad, capturing the regular season first place title and the one night tournament championship. Early in the schedule, Gardner-Webb's tennis coach Charlie Reynolds led his Racketeers to the top of the standings with the Misfits, God Squad, and Explorers closely in tow. Injuries which knocked the Racketeers from the lead midway thru the six game conference schedule, consistant play and remarkable teamwork escalated God Squad to the number one ranking, where they remained thru tournament play. The team received outstanding play from Tom Cox, Mickey Milleman, Kevin Warren, and Don Warren. Sporadic Play Hurts Cagers by Brooks Nash The Runnin' Bulldogs have experienced an up and down second semester of play in games through January 28. They have four victories and five losses in the nine games since returning from the Christmas holidays. Gardner-Webb has received outstanding play from senior guard Ben Davis and freshman center Stan Easterling. In the last nine games, Davis has averaged 22 points and almost six rebounds a game. For the season, he ranks among the district leaders in scoring, field goal percentage, and free throw percentage. Over the Challenger cont.fromp.2 Can we really claim to be fully advanced if we can not yet fully explain nor efficiently utilize our past and present discoveries? Until we can, we will always be the subordinate creature!! W. Gene Sophomore Lancaster Woodsy Owl says Only Nature Should Paint Rocks! Give a hoot. Don’t pollute. Ed. Desk cont. from p. 2 states, "Never, why not give it up?!" Perhaps, if the administration of this college treated us ,the college community, with respect and continuity many of our other problems would be alleviated. Why not give us a little Gardner-Webb? Maybe it would pay off. Remember that although you may have a few of us fooled the majority of us are a lot more intelligent than you would ever give us credit for being! Don't we deserve a little resDect? same span, Easterling has averaged 16 points while shooting 60% from the floor. He has also grabbed an average of eight rebounds a game over that period. Junior Sam Tyson has averaged eight rebounds a game over the last nine and is among the district leaders in that category. Gardner-Webb plays at Mars Hill on January 30 and then entertains independent opponents Belmont Abbey, Mars Hill, and Barber Scotia on February 6,8, and 13. The Bulldogs now have an independent record of 1-1 and victories in the above games will virtually assure them of a playoff berth in the District 26 playoffs. Lady Dogs Fight On by Brooks Nash The Lady Bulldogs have played tough since returning from the Christmas holidays, losing three of the eight games played since their return by less than four points. The Bulldogs have received solid play from senior Angie Black. She has averaged 17.5 points and eight rebounds in the eight games since Christmas break. She continues to rank among the district leaders in scoring. Freshman Laura Martin has scored in double figures in seven of the eight games and has averaged 12 points over that stretch. Gloria Campbell has also averaged 12 points a gameand has pulled down 30 rebounds during the eight games, The Lady Bulldogs have eight games remaining on their schedule.
