The Braves will be seeking the
86th victory for Jim Garrison,
who begins his 18th year as the
Braves’ head coach. He is
assisted by Jerry Hawkins, of
fensive line coach who also came
to Chowan in 1958, and defensive
coach Linwood Ferguson, in his
first year at Chowan.
Cliowan’s 1969 team. A knee
injury prevented him from
playing in 1970. After graduating
from Chowan, he was a running
back two years on East Carolin
University’s team.
FergiBon received his masters
in physical education in March
from ECU. He served as a
graduate assistant coach on East
Carolina’s team last year under
head coach Pat Dye.
For nine years, Dye was Coach
Bear Bryant’s defensive coor
dinator. Ferguson feels he was
fortunate to be associated with
Dye and believes he learned
much from his coaching ex
perience at ECU.
Although new on the job,
Ferguson has ideas to recognize
Chowan’s outstanding defensive
players after each game. He feels
this will be an incentive for the
players to give their best per
formance.
Ferguson said his new
coaching job“is a dream come
true.” He explains, “I always
wanted to return to Chowan to
help with the football and athletic
programs.” He said he had
always wanted to coach on the
college level. “On the college
level, idayers give their full in
terest to the game. With that kind
of attitude, you can achieve a
lot,” he noted.
Braves’ bead coach, Jim
Garrison said, “We’re real happy
to have linwood with us on the
staff. He’n bring some good
experience with him after being a
graduate assistant under Pat
Dye. The knowledge and ex
perience he picked up at East
Carolina will be a great asset to
Chowan.”
Continued Garrison, “Linwood
had a great positive attitude as a
player and as a coach, I’m sure
he’ll lend the same positive at
titude to the football program.”
As a fooball coach, Ferguson
will have chief responsibility for
the defense. He will also coach
track and teach hygiene.
He is married to the former
Paula Greger of Raleigh.
1975 Cheerleaders
Chosen on Sept, 4
By TERESA MARTIN
AND
DERONAGAY
On September 4,1975 at 6:30 in
the evening on the Braves foot
ball field exciting things were
happening. There was a serious
feeling in the air but yet there
was a great deal of shouting
going on. Maybe tiie reason for
this was because the 1975-1976
cheerleading squad for Chowan
was being chosen. There were
five girls to be selected from the
eight that were trying out. This
was a tough decision for 14
judges. This year’s squad
will have three returning
members. This will make
the squad consist of eight
members. The ^rls competmg
had to do three cheers; “Yell,”
“Spirit,” and “You Ain’t
Going Nowhere.” These girls are
going somewhere. They are
really progessing. This year the
girls on the squad will receive one
P.E. credit. This was quite an
accomplishment. The girls also
had to do two jumps and a cart
wheel split.
The 1975-1976 cheerleading
squad reads as follows: Donna
Newsome-captain, Lyn Gruber-
co-captain, and Benita Greene.
Those three girls are the three
returning cheerleaders from last
year’s squad. The foUoing girls
will be the new members of the
squad: Rene’ Stanfield, a Pre-
Eduaction major; Lucy Myatt, a
Graphic Arts major; Sherry
Phelps, who is studying Medical
Secretary courses; Kattiy
Collins, who is studying Leg^
Secretary and JoAnne Whit
tington. a Nursing major.
The other girls that competed
were Dianne Rockhill, studying
Secretarial courses; Cindy
Lindsay, Medical Technology
and Glendolyn Whitaker, a fte-
Med major.
Keep up the good cheering and
support given to the teams. Best
of luck in the 1975-76 year.
