The Aletheia Montreat-Anderson College Wednesday, February 3, 1993 Cav’s Split Home Stand Bennett and Watson Spark Comeback By Matt Haney After losing an important confer ence match up at TN-Temple, the Cavs needed a strong showing in "The Cavs House" against conference rivals Bryan and Covenant last week. The Bryan Lions came to play. Unintimidated by the unusually sedate crowd. Martinez,#23 fortheLions,huit the Cavs early, splitting though the defense and taking lay-ups from the paint Withpoorfree-throwshootingfrom Brian Levering arxl Kevin Laws, only the hustle of Aaron Gabriel and the rebound ing and shooting savvy of Rodney Scott allowed the Cavs to be within 2 at the 10 minute mark, 21-23. Bryan continued to drive and score at will for the rest of the half, with 9 different players getting baskets in the last 10 minutes of the 1st half. Coach McNamara reprimanded the team at the half siting thattheLionsmade 15 of 17 lay-ups and that defensively the Cavs were letting the Lions walk all over them. As the Cavs left the locker room Coach said, "We need to stand-up, man up, and play defense". The Cavs entered the second half on fire. Players silent in the first half, like Brud Gatsiel and Brian Levering sfmmg to life. Midway throu^ the rally, the crowd held its brealhasScottwentdownwittiwhatseemed tobeaserious knee injury (He returned at the 15:28). Without Scott the Cavs struggled to puUto48 all at the 16:25 mark and then took a 50 to 48 lead with 16 minutes left. Then Liars again attacked. Mthelast lOminutes, Pack, #55 for the Lions, scored 9 poirrts from the floor and hit 5 of 5 Iree- throws in an attempt to put the Cavs away. But the Cavs would rxrt roll over. With 49 seconds left Travis Ross hit a 3 point shot to pull the Cavs within 5. Then BradGabrielstole the ball backat half court The C:!avs lost the ball before being able to take the shot artd eventually lost 96-90. Though falling short the Cavs showed that even when playing poorly they still have the ability to come back and keep "aneversay die" attitude which would prove to be cmcial against Covenant Covenant entered the "C!avs’ House" last Friday night taking an early lead in whatlooked to be an embarrassing rout At the 8:55 mark of the 1st half they had dominated the Cavs taking a 15 point ad vantage, mostly through the leadership of Nathan Unruh, who already had 8 points. Coach McNamara realized that the team that he had started the game with did rx)t have the chemistry to handle Covenant He began substituting players in and out looking for the spark to ignite the offense. He found that spark in the Asheville Chris tian Academy stand out 'J.B.' Bennett J.B. carved qren the underside of the Covenant defense wifti two surgical passes to Rodney Scott, igniting ftie fans (The 6th man*) and spiiting the team. Todd Starkey went on to score 2 three point fiays and hit 6 of 6 fieethrows before tlK half When the smoke cleared the Cavs had recovered fion the deficit to take a 39 to 32 advantage. Covenant came out in the second half to rally, taking a 55 to 53 lead before Todd Starkey arxl Lance Watsai wdee tire Cavs Lady Cavs Bring home Victory By Kathryn Letterman OnFriday,Januaty 29 theLady Cava lier basketball team suffered a loss to Covenant College by a score of6648.

AmyBakeralsohelpedlessen the margin with a total of 13 points, and Carri Lucksavage, aiding the team’s ef fort, had a total of 8 rebounds. The Lady Cavs were having trouble getting the ball inside. Coach Dana Bostic commented, "We were out played-the other team was more aggres sive." In the first half, the Ladies loss their intensity and it cost them the game. Or Saturday, January 30, the Lady Cavaliers made a come-back with a vic- An Editorial... The Ministry of Restoration By Steve Barrett I appreciated reading the editorial in last week's Aletheia by Mark V/right entitled "Another King of Prejudice." I believe Mark is correct when he states "instead of turning oirr backs on these people (sinners...), and criticizing everything that is wrong with them, we should be praying that they will turn around." However, my question to Mark and the student body is, who do we pray for? If we can answer this question, haven't we contradicted what was stated in the last paragraph of the editorial? Mark quoted the infamous passage from Matthew 7:1- 5, which in his opinion clearly states we cannot Judge. Verse 5 in chapter 7 gives us specific guidelines in the area of Judging others. First Matthew states, we must take the plank out of our eye, and then we will see clearly to remove the speci from your brothers eye. Picture this verse, the writer is using symbolism to get the point over that we have great faults in our lives, but if we correct them, then and only then can we go and help our brother. If anyone comes into my office and sees me bowing down to a wooden image, please, those of you who have removed the plank from your own eye come and Judge me to restore me and not condemn me. I offer a better passage to extract what I believe Mark was trying to convey. It speaks clearly of the ministry of restoration, of how to restore a brother who has wronged. Luke 15:11-32. We have all read it, its the story of the prodigal son. It is also the story of how the (our) father treats us when we have sinned and the story of how the brother reacted to the son. Read through it and ask yourself, who am I, the son, who repented, the father who loved and showed compassion or the brother who erred in thinking he was better than the son? Isn't that the same thinking the pharisee had when praying along side the tax collecta in Matthew 18:9-14? offense up with a voUey of 3 point shots. With 8:50 left in the game, the Cavs had reestablished their dominance, lead ing 65 to 59. The Cavs went on to win 90 to 75. Todd Starkey was the top scorer with 26 points, his best showingasa(3avalier.Fbl- lowedwereRodneyScott, BradGabriel,andpeihaps the most improved player on ftie team Brian Lever ing all in double digits. When asked what he had to say about the game, Todd Starkey sincerely stated"IgivecredittoJesus Qirist bottom-line." Covenant's Cbach Brooks had this to say after the game. "We were up, getting the breaks when both teams were playing sloppy. The Cavs had ahalftime ran and using our 2:2:1 attack didn’t work for us. Basketball is a game of spurts and runs, we didn’t do a good Job of stopping the Cavs. Starkey was a big key with his 3’s (6 total) and so was Scott." Coach McNamara credited his bench with the win, citing J.B. Bennett and Lance Watson as examples of key players off of the bench.
