Crusaders Ranked 4th In District Play The 1977-78 basketball campaign has been very suc cessful for Belmont Abbey College thus far this season. One of the reasons has been the team attitude and team play the Crusaders have displayed. “There are no superstars on this team,” commented Coach Bobby Hussey following a recent game. “Collectively, though, we are a very good team. We get a stern test every time we go out, and the guys meet the challenge. We are getting good play from every player on the team. All of the 13 victories have been team vic tories.” This sentiment was echoed by Jimmy Crawford. “This team attitude is the best I’ve ever seen anywhere,” commented the Charlotte, N.C. junior. “We give each other support and encouragement. Not only is the starting five important, but so are the others. We are a team and function well as a unit.” The Crusaders are ranked ; fourth in the 21-team NAIA ' District 26. Two of the teams in front of them are in the top five I in the nation.

We have three solid players returning in Spike and T.J Reilly and Ed Perry,” com mented Reidy. “They have been working veryhard on their game since last fall and did quite well in some tournaments We have also added Roger Martin to our roster. He is one of the top players in Gaston County and should help us out I’m really looking forward to the season.” A women’s tennis team will , also be fielded .this season. Reidy and Pam Allison will coach this team. Last year was the first time the College had a women’s team, and the r^ponse was quite good. The girls have been working all this year, getting ready for the . spring season. Father Martin Hayes, O.S.B. will again field a goft team this spring. Due to bad weather that ■ has been occurring lately, their practice has been limited to a few scattered sessions. District 26 is also a very tough one in golf. Play begins in late March. Plans are also being made for a spring .soccer schedule to begin in March.

COACH GEORGE KENNEDY ' I * CROSSROADS - Febnury 1978 Soccer Coach , Recruits Players Belmont Abbey College soccer coach Qeorge Kennedy spent his Christmas break traveling the east coast on a soccer recruiting trip. All in all, a lot of territory was covered, and Kennedy was very op timistic about his trip. “It was a very busy time for me” said Kennedy,- who will enter his second year as coach. “I talked to a lot of people about coming to Belmont Abbey College to play soccer, and I got a lot of positive reactions.” Besides recruiting, Kennedy has been working on an indoor schedule for the winter months. The team has been working on skills every night in the Wheeler gym, getting ready for the games. He is also setting up a spring schedule. “Everyone is really working very hard on their game,” Kennedy continued. “I have been pleased with what is going on. 1 know it’s tough, but : everyone is giving it their best.” In addition, Kennedy is planning to host a soccer camp in July.
