Baptists Defeat Methodists
run
By Erik Barlik
Assistant to the Sports Information Director
The recent rise of the MHC Lady Lion Volleyball
program was again showcased at a recent home event.
The ladies defeated Spartanburg-Methodist 3-0. While
the excited crowd looked on, the Lions came up with an
impressive rally to close out the Methodists 18-16 in the
final game.
Tracy Schoenfeld again looked impressive, having
just come off a 50 assist night against conference foe
Catawba. Natalie Davis also had an impressive night,
with 26 kills and 17 digs at Catawba. Stephanie Maney
also chipped in 15 kills at Catawba.

pAW PRINTS:
Natalie Davis is making a considerable
for the all-conference team. Her
consistent hitting and defense have paved
the way to many of the Lady Lion victories.
Maybe the only mark against her is that
she has not averaged more than one
match (non-JV) per week. The future
looks bright for the Lady Lions, and she
definitely will be a part of it!

The Latest Fad?
By Erik Barlik
Hilltop Sports Editor
Have you ever been sitting around with
absolutely nothing to do? Sure you have.
Tired of homework? Sure you are. Just
plain want to have fun? Yeah!
Well there is a new breed of athlete
here at Mars Hill. The athlete can be
found in townhouse 101. Why? Because
he has engaged in a sport more vicious than
rugby, yet calmer than golf.
What is this sport you ask? It is one of
the following: Townhouse Football,
Townhouse Baseball, Townhouse Hockey,
Townhouse Wrestling, or Townhouse
Trenchball.
Who makes the rules for these games?
Each combines an element of violence with
the average rules of the game and mixed
with harmlessness. Take Townhouse
Baseball, for example. It can be played
with a hackey sack and an empty 2-liter
bottle of soda. Use the furniture for bases.
Grab a friend to be the umpire, and then
choose your teams.
After a recent matchup, a sophomore
(who chooses to go by “Edge”) stated that,
“even though it looks violent, it can be quite
fun.” He entered the game as a relief
pitcher, and gave up only one or two hits.
Another resident, Andrew Call, said
that he liked baseball more than football,
and that (about baseball), “you don’t have
much time to aim.”
Perhaps the instigator of all this
nonsense, Hal Henn (The Golden Child),
could explain the craziness better. “I love
the smell of victory,” and the “Doghouse
Rules,” were the violent quotes of John
Lott and Hal.
When interviewed, Anthony Aycock
said, it’s akin, “to Brain-ceU Bungie
Jumping.” Edge also echoed the
sentiment.
Would you like to meet any of these
athletes in person? Call 6443.
