Knights end season
Track team drops title
The St. Andrews Knights
ended their 1978 Baseball
Season on a soggy note. As
Coach Smith apply put it at
the Sports Banquet Tuesday
night, “Last year we were
praying for rain and this year
we got it.” The last four
games of the 78 season were
rained out and eventually
canceled as the other schools
began to let out.
The Knights made an ex
citing comeback from last
years record of only six wins.
Though the year began
slowly, the Knights fought
back to what might have been
a 500 season except for the
rain. When the season was
finally called on Monday the
record read 10 and 13.
The Knights already had a
good foundation coming into
the season with returning
starters like John Ferrell,
Rick Scott and Rick Gamble,
but the team was bolstered
substantially by the new faces
on the field. Keith Betts, a
transfer, broke the school
record for home runs and Rod
Whitby lead the team in
stolen bases with 18 suc
cessful steals out of 19. John
Carrigg were one hundredth
of a point apart with batting
averages of .366 and 365
respectively. Rick Scott lead
the team with 27 hits and
Eddy Dean finished the
season with a 2.06 ERA. St.
Andrews lools to an even
more improved season next
year with all starters
returning.
Floyd Blackwell’s Knights
failed to defend their Dixie
Conference Track and Field
Championship, held at St.
Andrews Saturday. The
vCaptains of Christopher
Newport slid by the Knights
with a total of 93*4 points. St.
Andrews was only eight and
one-half back at 85. Methodist
placed third in the meet with
71>i. Also running were North
Carolina Wesleyan and
SWINGIN’ IN THE MUD is the way the season ended for the
Knights baseball season with a disappointing 10 and 13 record.

—Yearbook
not suffer as it has in the past.
Will you defeat Charlotte
before she starts? I’m asking
that you recognize the vast
amount of hard work which
was done in this years efforts
and that you repay our work
by supporting Charlotte in the
coming year.

Staff of the Lamp and
Shield
Averitt colleges with 10 and
four points, respectively.
St. Andrews had four in
dividual winners; co-captain
Bill Owens in the 220-yard
dash, Gary Ramey - three-
miles, Jay Mitchell - pole
vaiilt, and Mike Cestrone in
the javelin.
Owens won his 220 title in
just 22.7 seconds; followed by
Curtis Wall, who placed
second. Owens also placed
second in the 100-yard dash.
Ramey took the three-mile
run in 16:31 minutes. He also
captured a second place finish
in the mile. Bob Pelon and Jim
Sommerville ran just behind
Ramey in the three-miles as
St. Andrews swept the first
three places. A jump of 11’ 6”
won the first place in the pole
vault for MitcheU. in the
javeUn, Cestrone and Eric
Loomis took the number one
and two positions with thrown
of 146’ 11” and 141’8”
“We had a few problems
with some of our runners”
explained Blackwell. “And, as
a result they were unable to
compete through no fault of
their own. However, everyone
out there for us gave no
percent. In the mile relay
Tom Barnes bested his Ume
by three seconds. Working
with these men this year has
been a great experience for
me. I’m looking forward to
next year. With our returning
men and a growing interest in
the sport. I’m sure we’ll be
right back in contention next
spring.”

Womens intramurals
draws 85 participants
Women’s Intramural sports
had a slow year this year with
only three events successfully
getting off the ground.
Eighty-five girls participated
in raquetball, basketball and
volleyball during 1978.
Volleyball started the
season off with four teams
signed up to play but classes
and illness quickly took its toll
and the competition came
down to Concord vs Faculty in
the best 3 out of 5. The
championship opened to a 2 to
2 tie and went all three
games; scores 15-11 Faculty,
15-11 Concord and finally 15-12
for a Faculty victory overall.
The standings going into the
championship were Concord 3
wins, Wilmington 3, Orange 2
and Faculty 2 with Albemarle
being eliminated. Since both
Concord and Wilmington
forfeited Orange and Faculty
went after each other in one
of the best girls’ intramural
games in the past 2 years.
The score read 15-10 going
into the fourth quarter. Both
LuAnn Ladd and Sandy
Whitley were able to score but
they were matched by Kitty
Thames and Gail Taylor for a
final score of 19-14. Once
again Faculty reigned
supreme.
Next year the intramural
staff looks for more par
ticipation on the girls part
and more input into better
organization of scheduling
and registration.
