Former Brave's Toe
Boosts Apprentices
By JOE McGARRITY
Newport News Apprentice used two
Tommy Schenk field goals and a Jeff
Topping touchdown to down Chowan
Colleges’ Braves 13-7, September 12 at
Chowan’s field.
Schenk, a former Brave, hit field
goals of 29 and 24 yards to go with an ex
tra ptfint, in helping Newport News
down the Braves.
J From the second quarter until
game’s end, it did not look like it was
going to be a Braves night. For starts,
the officiating wasn’t the best in the
league.
The first quarter ended with nothing
doing (0-0); but, in the second quarter
Newport News put together a 50-yard
drive, with quarterback Topping scor
ing from two yards out. Schenk’s con
version made it 7-0, Apprentice.
The next time Newport News had the
ball. Braves’ defensive end Kevin
Banks put a jarring hit on an Appren
tice runner, who fumbled the ball. The
Braves’ Frank Groome recovered.
The Braves’ offense then looked the
best that it would the whole night.
Quarterback Jimmy Fisher hit Ray
mond “Birdman” Byrd with a 17-yard
completion to which put the Braves on
the Apprentice 39-yard line. Then,
workhorse running back James Cole,
showing great balance and agility, took
the handoff from Fisher, scooted and
squirmed through and around would-be
tacklers and tip-toed down the sidelines
the rest of Uie way for a 39-yard
touchdown.
It was one spectacular run, along
with one great individual effort. Keith
Myer’s point after made it 7-7.
Dave Cullen, who had 11 catches for
190 yards, sprinted 57 yards (on the
pass from Topping) before being haul
ed in by none other than Groome on the
Braves’ 19-yard line. Schenk then con
nected from 29 yards out and Newport
News had a 10-7 halftime lead.
No scoring was done until 1:43 re
mained in the third period. That’s when
Schenk hit his 24-yarder, which made
the eventual final score, 13-7.
The Braves had one last scoring op
portunity snuffed out, late in the final
period. After Ronnie Stidham in
tercepted a Fisher paM deep in
Newport News territory, the
Braves’defense stiffened, and held.
On fourth down, Fisher lofted a pass
in the area of Byrd, who, headed toward'
the endzone, seemingly had the
defender beaten. But Byrd and the
Newport News defensive back bumped
slightly and the ball fell incomplete. No
call was made.
It was just one of those nights for the
Braves. Fred Banks, the Braves’ star
flanker and quarterback, sprained his
ankle in practice the day before the
game, and had to sit out.
It may just have been “Mr. Do-It-AU”
Bank^'Was tliat the
Braves were missing. They could really
have used him.
Defense
Held Key
On Court
By EMMA GILES
Chowan’s new women’s basketball
coach. Gay Scott expressed her enthus
iasm in working witt this year’s team,
which consists mainly of freshmen.
“We have only four returning
sophomores — Carolyn Kelly, Denise
Jordan, Molly Hopkins and Ginger Jef
ferson, which will be a disadvantage.
“However,” Miss Scott added, “we do
have a few new prospects which we will
be expecting a lot of. ”
Miss Scott, an Elizabeth City native
also noted that this year’s team mem
bers are at a disadvantage where
height is concerned, but added that
height is not the major concern.
“Our defense looks good. The players
are quick and have very good poten
tials. Defense will definitely be the key
this year. We are fortunate to have two
tall players — Anita Anderson and
April Lassiter, to replace Douglass and
Gore, but spe^, not height, wiU be our
major asset.”
Other team members are Vivian
Myers of Chocowinity, NC'., Mary
Weiss, Hampton, VA., and Annette
Huntley of Davidwn, NC. Also, Phyllis
Griffin of Charleston, and Karen Bran
non of Norfolk, who are displaying
great skill and potential. Miss Scott also
stressed the expectations she has of
Anita Anderson, a 6 ft. center from
Raleigh, NC. Anita was voted Most Out
standing Player by her teanunates in
her senior year. Her individual All Con
ference and All Metro.
Erma Holley, a 5’11” center from
Merry Hill, NC. and Gina Barron, a
guard from Huntersville, NC. were
scheduled to play with Chowan this
season, however, both are suffering
from knee injuries.
Chowan’s first game is scheduled for
November 9 against Virginia Common
wealth.
Miss Scott, in addition to coaching
basketball, will serve as a professor in
the Department of Health and Physical
Education.
A1974 graduate of Northeastern High

softball coach.
After completing graduate school,
she ran a highly successful girl’s
basketball program at Southwest
Onslow High School near Jacksonville,
Her teams, there, had records of 14-9
and 21-5 during the past two years, in
cluding a state playoff berth this past
season.
She replaces Roy Winslow, who di
rected the past two Chowan Women’s
teams to records of 17-9 and 21-5. Wins
low resigned the coaching slot in order
to devote full time to his responsibilities
as associate dean of students.

Volleyball Hopes High,
Coach Cites Consistency
By THERESA MANTAS
Despite the loss of one returning
player and the temporary sidelining of
another, prospects are good for the
volleyball season. Returning are
Amelia Alexander, Yvette Armstrong,
Cheryl Hendrix, Lois Moe, Pam Pellom
and Teresa Tripp.
Mrs. Janet Collins, coach of the
volleyball team, says her returning
players are stronger and more power
ful than ever.
However, Gwen Bergey is recovering
from an operation she' had over the
sununer and is unable to play this year.
Gwen’s injury to her foot occurred last
fall during a game when she twisted her
foot and continued to play. By continu
ing to play the injury worsened and led
to the need of the operation. Hendrix
also underwent an operation during the
sununer, Mrs. Collins said and was to
be out of action until September 21.
Mrs. Collins is excited about her new
players, Joyce Brooks, Judy Lingard,

Hill's Late Touchdown Scamper
Defeats Pirate Jayvees, 12-7
By JOE McGARRITY
Chowan College’s Braves opened
their 1981 football season with an im
pressive, come-from-behind 12-7 win
over East Carolina’s JV, September 3
at Chowan’s field.
ECU led 7-5 with 3:40 left in the game
and the ball in Chowan’s possession on
the Pirate 42-yard line.
With the game seemingly all but sew
ed up, Brave fullback Isaiah Hill broke
loose around the left end, shook three or
four tackles, and rambled 42 yards for
the winning touchdown.
Hill wasn’t the only star of the night
for the Braves, On a night for stars,
several Braves stood out, particularly
Frank Groome, Joe York, Fred Banks
and Carl Johnson.
Groome, the starting right comer-
back, made several touchdown-saving
tackles (having to run down the ballcar
rier who had a sizable lead on him each
time); returned a fine punt; and,
returned a Pirate fumble 32 yards.
York, playing defensive end, made
several stops in the ECU backfield
(totaling up to 11 altogether), while
/
playing a key role in sustaining the
Brave’s victory.
Banks who started at flanker but end
ed at quarterback, had a 78-yard
touchdown run (working from QB) call
ed back because of holding; and, had
several fine runs and passes working at
both positions. He is cited by head
coach Jim Garrison as one of the
players with a “can’t-miss” label who
could make it to the “big time” in col
lege football.
Linebacker Johnson recovered two
key fumbles for the Braves and his role
was also important in preserving the
Braves win.
Overall, the Braves just played one
SUPER football game!
No scoring was done until the third
quarter when, after Johnson recovered
his second fumble of the game on the
ECU 15-yard line, Keith Myers punched
a 25- yard field goal in; to make it 3-0,
Braves.
The very next time the Pirates had
the ball, York tackled ECU QB Kenny
Gibbs in the end zone for a safety, and
the Braves owned a 5-0 lead.
A Billy Whittenton 54-yard touchdown
pass to Lloyd Black, and the extra point
conversion by Billy Parker, put ECU in
the lead, 7-5.
Finally, in the waning moments of the
fourth quarter, the Braves put together
their drive.
After Hill scored his winning
touchdown, ECU put a scare into the
heart of every Brave.
On the kickoff, Scott Lewis, seeming
ly stopped immediately, broke loose
before being hauled down by Groome.
“I knew I had to catch him,” said
Groome. “If I didn’t have, he would’ve
been long gone.”
Sacks by Curtis Spell, York (twice)
and Kevin Banks, ended any hopes of a
Pirate miracle,
“Our secondary is young, and we
knew we had to take some pressure off
them by putting it on ECU,” said York.
“I knew we could come back,”
replied Fred Banks. “We just put it
together, and it worked out for the
best.”
And the best was an opening night
win for the Braves.
Pura Puertas and Kynette Williams.
Collins speaks highly of each and said
she is looking forward to working with
them.
All her players are very consistent,
the coach as.serts. She says all are very
strong hitters and blockers and, above
all, quick and strong players. Collins
outlook for the year is very good.
Talking to Pam Pellom, named best
defensive player last year, she insisted
“We’re going all the way! ”
Team managers are Resa Edwards,
returning from last year, and Jewel
Boroden and Carol Jongblood.
