Page 14 the lance December 8,1986 EDITED BY MYLA GARREN M0W rnach 'a hifttorv of winning hooed tO Hit? QffQn t^SB Baseball team enthusiastic about '87 season By Jim Reese 1987 maris the start of a new era in Knight baseball as one of the win- ningest coaches in the history of high school sports takes charge at St. Andrews. Clyde Parrish, of Laurinburg, has coached football, basketball and baseball during his coaching career which spans three decades. In all three sports combined, he has over 1,000 wins to his credit. Parrish serves as a scout for the New York Yankees and is a former scout with the Cleveland I ndians. He played two years of professional baseball with the Philadelphia A's or ganization before a knee injury caused him to return to coaching. In high school and Legion coach ing, Parrish has accumulated 676 wins and 232 losses. He has been named baseball coach of the year on 17 different occasions. His teams won two state champ ionships in baseball in S.C. and in 1981 he was South Carolina's coach of the year. Stuart Carmichael, in his third year as assistant baseball coach at St. Andrews, brings continuity and col lege playing experience to the team. A Wingate College graduate, Car michael played and lettered four years at the North Carolina NAIA Dis trict 26 school. As pitcher, he had a 16-6 record, helping to lead the team to the district championships in 1980 and 1981. This fall the Knights were led by returning lettermen Jim Reese, Tom Whiteash, and Gary Garber. These three returning players add valuable experience to an otherwise young group of athletes. Reese and White ash serve as co-captains and are helping to introduce the younger players to the college baseball sys tem. Reese batted .318 his freshman year with four games remaining until he was sidelined with a broken fin ger. He also added 3 home runs and 31 RBI's. Garber posted a 5-2 record last season and will be called on for many more starts and relief work this season. Garber is a transfer stu dent from UNC-W. Whiteash is coming off a solid 1985-86 campaign by slugging .310 with 2 home runs and 22 RBI's. The Knights have an abundance of talent in its freshman and sopho more recruits and should figure to match or surpass its 18-18-2 record posted in 1986. Few but Proud Cross Country Finishes Season' This story is the combination of articles handed in by John Thomas and Chris Woods. When the team you're on isnl winning, you look for positive things about the season that can't be felt except by the members of the team. The 1986 cross-country team did not have the firepower to emerge victorious against most of the teams they competed against this year. However, with new coach Gordy Scoles, the season was a good experience forthe five run ners who stuck with the sport. Scoles ended up with a patchwork squad forthe season after hitting the dorms for recruits. Stanley Williams, the cagey veteran, Chris Wood, the lone hold over from last year's tearrr, Ernest Musengwa, the surprising new run ner from South Africa, John Thomas and Lisa Chassy, both first year students, made up the SA’steam. The team sent only two run ners to the first meet, but by mid season SA was able to field a full scoring squad of seven. "Ourfirst goal was to field a full team," said Coach Scoles, "then to get the runners under the 30 minute mark forthefive mile course." Woods & Musengwa consistantly ran under 30, hitting personal records of 29:11 and 29:28 respectively at a home meet against with Francis Marion college in October. Lisa Chassy led the girls with a 23:43 for a 5K course. Up to four of this year's run ners will return for the 1987 season. Men's Soccer Team Finishes With 3-14-1 Record Six to nothing. That was the score on the board November 4 as St. Andrews Presbyterian College wrapped up its 1986 soccer sea son with the welcome destruction of Mount Olive College. It was a good end for a year which saw a much stronger team effort than 1985'swinless Knights. Lorenzo Canalis' team limited NCAA Division I East Carolina University to one goal and nationally-ranked Division 111 Christopher Newport College to two goals. Finishing with an overall re cord of 3-13-1 andwinless in the tough DIAC conference, St. An drews lost nine of its matches by two goals or less. "Our defense allowed us to be in games that we otherwise would not have been in," Canalis said. The best defensive player for the Knights was senior stopper Joe Costello. Costello limited his direct oppenents to two goals in the season and he scored two key goals. Rob McLean was the most effective offensive weapon forthe Knights. Out forthe majority of the season, McLean scored three goals and had one assist in seven games. Next year the Knights expect to return 9 of 11 starters except Costello. The Knights worst defeat came at the hands of Division I Virginia Commonwealth University when the Rams defeated the Knights 7-0. Coach Canalis, a native of Italy where he played semi-professional soccer in Torino, said next year he will concentrate on putting offen sive firepower back into the Knights. "We need a better bal anced team, our midfield and of fense need to be brought up to the level of ou r defense; if we do that, we should be more competitive," he said. •id.-- •• Coming in for a nice landing Photo by Marla Gower Volleyballers lose to champion of DIAC tournament St. Andrews' finished the 1986 volleyball season with a 21 -13 record and two All-Dixie Intercollegiate Ath letic Conference players, as the Lady Knights fell to eventual DIAC tourn ament champion Methodist College 3-1 on Novembers. St. Andrews defeated North Caro lina Wesleyan College 15-12; 15-6; 15-1 to advance in the first round of the Dixie Tournament held at Chris topher Newport College in Newport News, VA. on Nov. 7. The following day Methodist downed the Lady Knights 16-14; 15-10; 10-15; 15-4. Though they failed to defend their Dixie Conference crown, St. And rews returned home with two All- Conference players — Kristi Kluegel and Lori Hughes. Kluegel, a 6'0" sophomore hitter from Fort Meyers, Fla., led St. And rews in virtually every statistic throughout the season. In 109 games she had 318 kills out of 675 attempts; she blocked 106 shots and averaged 1.817 per game. She had 82 service aces and averaged 2.422 digs per game. Hughes, a 5'6" senior setter from Raleigh, N.C., led the Lady Knights in assists. She averaged 4.505 per game with a total of 473.
