Compass Intramural B-ball ECSU Wrestling GARYSAVAGE Another Wrestling season has begun, and the Viking Wrestlers have done a good job in the matches they have encountered thus far. The team hopes to better their 13-3 record of last year. The Viking Wrestling Club missplaced in the CIAA by a half point, losing to Norfolk State 63-63V2. The Vikings ended last year’s season with six wrestlers placing second in the CIAA. The Vikings did extremely well with a very young squard last year. There were only two Senior players last year. The team mainly consisted of Fresh man with outstanding High School background. Errol Hines, 1II8 weight class. Sophomore and member of Wine Psi Phi, placed second in the CIAA. Errol motivates the Vikings by making a sure pin almost every match. Steve Johnson is a Freshman, new recuit. Steve has given an excellent performance on the mat in the opening season. He had very high appraisal when arriving on campus. Steve looks forward to a good strong year. There were only three new recuits this year. They have received high compliments about themselves and it is showing in the performances given thus far. Coach Little has high hopes for the wrestling club this upcoming season. He was named “ Coach of the Year” in the CIAA last year. Coach was honored for coordination of such a majority of young wrestlers. In fact, for the first time in Viking wrestling, the captain is a Sophomore, Corky Scott, a mamber of Wine Psi Phi, from Pine Hill, New Jersey. Corky placed first in the CIAA and un- beatened the entire season last year. I interviewed Corky, and this is what he had to say about the upcoming matches of the season. “ I feel good about the team and myself. I hope to push myself that extra mile to accomplish the ultimate goal of the season, winning the CIAA.” Corky feels that with a lot of fan support the team should be able to pull through nicely. The Viking Wrestling Club will be doing a lot of traveling this year. They will be going to such places as New Jersey, Deleware, Maryland and South Carolina. Corky Scott stated that some of the schools that the team seems to have problems with are South Carolina State and Chowan College. There has been a change of disciplinary action on the team and new tactics are being used. The Viking Wrestling Club is well prepared and ready to tackle anything that is to come their way. The wrestlers could possibly reach their ultimate goal this year by winning the CIAA Championship It is a great honor to write about a fine wrestling club. BY GARY SAVAGE If you didn’t know it, The Compass has an intramural Basketball team. The team is coached by yours truly, sports writer of The Com pass, Mr. Gary Wayne Savage, Junior. I am a political science major, Vice- President of the Student Union, and roving sports reporter. I feel that this will be a very good year for* the Compass Ball Club. I have recruited some height to the team which will be very helpful on the inside court. I am not making these statements because I am coach of the ball club, but because I feel this team has the potential to capture the intramural championship. The ECSU Majorettes completed another year of tantalizing crowds during halftime with sensual movements and routines. The crowd sought their ap- pearnace at each per formance amazed at the expertise and skill shown by them. Though they perform to perfection, the routines don’t begin that way. They start merely as an idea which has to be tried and tested to perfection. It takes hard work, discipline, and dedication, qualities which each of these ladies possess, along with a little something “extra,” which enables each person in the crowd to identify with his or her own “favorite.” Five young ladies represented ECSU as majorettes this year, com bining their former ex perience with newly acquired skills. Richard Watson will be starting forward again this year. Watson is a junior and is captain of the ball club. Ervin Brown will also be back as forward this year and plans to better last year’s performance. I can’t forget to mention my favorite two point guards, Terrance Roundtree and Erving Boone. Their dynamic coordination has improved from last year. A total of six players are expected to return this year and make this a good year for the Compass Ball Club. We hope to do better than the 1-7 record of last year. So sports fans, please come out and support your newspaper’s intramural ball Sandra Tillery, head majorette, is a junior from Elm City, N.C. She was previously a majorette at Fike High School and began as an ECSU majorette her freshman year. Lativia Leeper, a native Charlottean is a junior. She twirled at West Charlotte High School, while also twirling for Johnson C. Smith University. She was a majorette at Livingstone College and continued after transferring to ECSU in the fall of 1981. Melonie Locus reigns from Atlanta, Ga. She attended Hunt High School in Wilson, N.C. where she was a majorette for three years. She began as an ECSU majorette the fall of 1982. Erin Davis, a junior from Chicago, Illinois, started her marching debut at Livingstone College, the fall of 1980. She also continued her twiriling after transferring to ECSU in the fall of 1981. Lisa Thompson, a freshman, was club. The team has been praticing very hard to give you a good performance this season on the court. The team members include: Richard Watson, Erving Boone, Ervin Brown, Terrance Roundtree, Ace Lassiter, Joe Everrette, Lloyd Jackson, Henry Wilkerson, Chris Pen dergrass, John Cotton, and Miller Bragg. the only majorette without any previous experience. She is from Portsmouth, Va. and although she was a “rookie” amongst some quite creative veterans one would never know it. She possessed the qualities as did each of the others. These were the majorettes for the 1982 season. Another year is upon us in which 12 ladies will be sought to once again dazzle the crowds during halftime. All it takes is hard work, discipline, and dedication, plus a little something“extra.” THINK YOU GOT IT? THEN FLAUNT IT!
