techniques, the Rams prove
that they are very hard to
beat. As their fans salute
them for their spectacular
performances, they realize
that the hard work and long
hours of practice was really
worth their while.
Mrs. Scales, who is the
coach of the team, is indeed
an attribute. It is her
guidance and powerful
influence that mold the
team. With a watchful eye,
she readUy accepts disap
pointments and willingly
boosts victory! She has a
certain kind of love, warmth,
and consideration for her
team. She knows that unity
and love must be established
between each player, before
they can truthfully unite as a
team. It is with this kind of
leadership that the Rams
press on with pride, digmty,
and that Old Ram Spirit!
As for the students
response to the girl’s team,
most of them feel that they
are an asset to the sports
program. One individual
stated, ‘ ‘When I see the girls
in action, I know that they
are doing their very best.
They stand for honor and
pride. I am proud of the
men’s team, but just think,
the girls are smoking too!”
A freshman from Winston-
Salem had this response. “I
used to think that the guys
were the only people who
could play ball. I know now
that we not only have
talented guys, but we also
have multi-talented girls. It
makes me proud to be a
woman, but more proud to
be a Ram.”
Because of their strong
determination, pride, and
ultimate commitment, there
is no doubt that the Lady
Rams will remain the pride
of Ramland.
The Rams finished second
this season in the CIAA
basketball tournament in
Norfolk, Virginia and as an
added spark to their
successful season, they were
named to the AU-toumament
team.
From here the Rams will
go on to compete in the
NCAIAW Division II tourn
ament to be held at
Pembroke State College
March 3-4-5.
A determined Mrs. Conley
said, “We’re going to take
this one!” They came in
third last season.
