MAY 1996 THE FULL MOON Bulldog Sports EDITOR : APRIL BAILEY PAGE 4 Two AHS Senior Athletes Receive Scholarships by April Bailey Senior Cedric Baldwin made his mark this year in football. Cedric will be attending Catawba College in the fall where he received a partial scholarship to be a defensive back for the football team. Cedric will be majoring in business administration at Catawba. He will also be staying on campus instead of commuting. He chose Catawba over three other schools with scholarship offers. TTie others canTe from Winston-Salem State, Wofford, and Methodist College. He must maintain a 2.0 GPA at school and he is going to work towards a full ride in the next few years. He is also thinking of participating in the school's track activities. He was contacted earlier in March about the scholarship by the defensive coordinator Richard Kent. He is now in a weight training program with Coach Caster before the season begins, but once summer rolls around he will leave AHS and move on to the college campus where he wiU then begin his summer training at Catawba. Cedric chose Catawba because the campus was nice and he thinks it would be a good place for him. We wish him the best of luck at college and hope he doesn’t get hurt'playing football. Another senior attending college on a sports scholarship is Jamie Simmons, Yadkin VaUey Conference MVP in basketball. Jamie will be attending Campbell University and will play for the Camels beginnning his freshman year. Jamie received a full scholarship to Campbell after his very successful career at AHS. Jamie is plaiming to go into a computer field at Campbell. Jamie is sure to do well in foreign affairs, considering his first language is German and his second English. His experience will come in handy in his area of work. Before Jamie arrives at Campbell, he will participate in the East-West All Star game in Greensboro near the end of July. He will then begin practice for basketball in August when he first arrives and the season begins in November. We wish him the best of luck in basketball and hope that his career at Campbell is as successfull as it was here at AHS over the past three years. We will miss both of these exceptional players and hope they continue to be a success in theu sports and academic fields. £ Cadric Baldwin Jamie Simmons Exclusivc Dirrm«0T0»i or .. . -Also Custom Ritiwad(NO ]| AuONMf NT, ft MiNOU CaH CaRS , M & R RETREADING, INC. 337 Wk»t WHm-CV Stwcct NomvooD, Notrm Camouna 26128 Phone*: Bus.
