the Lions, Mars Hill traveled to Burl
ington, only to be turned away for the
third time in a week.
Once again, the midfield failed to con
trol the ball, which spent the majority of
the game on the Lions’ half of the field.
Halfback John Weinman played excep
tionally well as he deterred Elon’s half
backs from setting up scoring strikes.
Dr. Coates made personnel changes in
hopes of generating some offense. Mike
Butler was moved to center forward for
his ball control and excellent shot. David

endurance and enthusiasm at midfield in
the second half, which helped spark a
rally, ending with Butler’s shot on goal
from thirty yards out.
Goal Keeper Kiley was injured thirty
minutes into the game after four balls
had crossed the goal line. “It was the
worst game I’ve played; I was out of
position on every goal. The third goal
went right through my hands while I
tried to punch it over the bar,” said
Kiley. Kiley was replaced by Kirk
Palmer who then was replaced by Colin
Cristie. Cristie played the entire second
half, and came up with some excellent
saves.
Despite the three losses, the Lions
predict things to get better. Their up
coming schedule puts them up against
Anderson, Montreat, Tusculum, and .
King colleges.
The soccer team would like to thank
all the supporters, especially the
‘Golden Pride”.

The Lions began the 1983-84 season with a decisive victory over Concord college
in West Virginia on Saturday, September 10.
MHC got off to an early lead when Sean Bowles connected with Dale Similton for
, a 17 yard touchdown pass on Mars Hill’s first possession of the game. Dave Shealy
then widened the lead to 7-0 with the first of his 4 extra points.
After forcing Concord to punt, the Mars Hill Lions scored their second
touchdown of the game. It was Bowles to Similton again, this time on a 57 yard pass
with 6:37 still remaining in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Jackie Williamson blocked a punt bn the Concord eleven
yard line. Two plays later, Bowles connected with Danny Gilbert for our third
touchdown. By the end of the first half Mars Hill enjoyed a 21-0 lead.
The third quarter proved to be uneventful, but in the fourth quarter. Concord
scored a touchdown with a two point conversion, averting what might have been a
Lion shutout.
In the closing minutes, MHC’s Ricky Stiles returned Concord’s short kick-off to
their 37 yard line. Then with the help of the offensive line. Halfback Tony Dawkins
broke through the secondary for a 25 yard gain to the Concord 12. Two plays later,
freshman Pete Calhoun scored the last touchdown of the game from 10 yards out,
making the final score MHC 28, Concord 8.
With a much improved offense and a very effective defense, th'e Mars Hill Lions
showed that this year they mean business. Go Lions!
