Girls’ Sports Looking Up At GHS
By Beth Magee
Volleyball has become a grow
ing sport in the United States in
the past few years. There is
even talk of a professional vol
leyball league, but, with a girls’
volleyball team that Miss Addi
son predicts will be one of the
top teams in the conference,
volleyball action around the triad
will be fast and furious.
One reason the Whirlies’ vol
leyball team should be in the
thick of the action is a strong
starting unit and a superb back
up squad. The starting team
members are Marilyn Jamieson,
Amy Leung, Cindy Osborne, Su
san Sparks, Liz Thurston, and
Ethel White. Backing them up
are Beth Bradley, Joan Bunge,
Linda Heard, Lou Ingram, Carla
Lee, Nancy Leonard, Susan Lore,
Lou Masters, Belinda Polk, Les
Saleeby, Pam Same, Ann Small
wood, Amy Stapleton, Delores
Taylor, and Pam Wall.
The team has played four
games, two on September 10 at
Page. In the first game Grims-
ley knocked off High Point An
drews but then bowed to Smith.
On September 17 the team met
High Point Central and Page at
Dudley but lost both games. On
September 24 they went against
Dudley and Andrews at Smith.
October 1 they meet Smith and
Central at Andrews, and October
8 they play Page and Dudley
here. Then on October 15 there
will be a conference Play Day
at Page, ending what should
prove to be a very successful
season.

Golf can be played individually
or by a team. The girls were
asked to try out for the golf
but Mareen Long was the
only girl to go out. Mareen will
compete in the state tournament

Good luck to her!
Tennis
With a wealth of talent the
girls’ tennis team won all three
of the practice games they play
ed. They won on a forfeit by
Dudley an dbeat Central 5-4
with Ann Martinelli, Nancy Leon
ard, and Beverly Stamey winning
singles’ matches; and Beverly
Sizemore and Ann Martinelli
along with Beverly Stamey and
Karen Gibson winning doubles’
matches. Then Beverly Sizemore,
Margaret Oakley, and Beverly
Stamey had singles’ wins, while
Sizemore and Martinelli with
Sttamey and Gibson had doubles’
wins to power Grimsley to a 5-4
win over Burlington Williams.
Miss Tamblyn, or “Coach” as
the girls call her, has reportedly
come to the decision that no
players will be cut, thus keeping
the team in peak form.
The girls have already won
their first match against Keids-
ville 5-4 with Sizemore, Stamey,
and Gibson getting singles’ wins;
and Sizemore and Martinelli, and
Stamey and Gibson getting dou
bles’ wins. September 16 the
team was idle, September 19
they got back into action with
a match against Burlington Cum
mings. On September 23 they
played High Point Andrews; Sep
tember 26 they went against
Smith. Then on September 30
there comes the anticipated
meeting of powers when Grims
ley meets Page. On October 3
the team meets Dudley; October
7, Central; and October 10, Wil
liams to round out the schedule.
October 16 and 17 the girls’
team journeys to the sectionals
where they hope to show their
superiority on the court.
The tennis team has appointed
Bobbie Moffit to be team mana
ger and one of her primary jobs
is to administer first aid to a
player who gets hurt. Another
thing Babbie does is open tennis
ball cans. On her first day Bob
bie accidentally cut herself as
she was opening a can of tennis
balls. Since then there have been
no other reported injuries ex
cept blisters.
The girls’ tennis team asks
that all students support them
by going to all home matches,
and perhaps the team will bring
home another trophy for Grims
ley.

Cross Country Team
Runs For League Title
The Grimsley Cross Country
Team began the quest for the
conference title by losing to a
very strong Reynolds team by
the score of 17-43 in Winston-
Salem. Conference favorite Reyn
olds placed runners first, second,
and third in the race. Eric Mil
ler was the top Whirlie finisher,
coming home fourth.
However, the Whirlies bounced
back a week later by easily de
feating teams from Page and
Davie County. Eric Miller cross
ed the finish line first with an
impressive time of 17 minutes.
Seaiors Erie Miller mni Val
dez Chavis lead the cress
coBotry pock.
10 seconds over the three-mile
course. Miller ran at a 5:43 per
mile pace. Doug Newbould placed
second for Grimsley and Valdez
Chavis placed fourth.
Coach Richard Smith says he
is looking for leadership from
his more experienced runners,
including co-captains Eric Miller
and Doug Newbould. Smith listed
his best runners to this point
as seniors Miller, Newbould, and
Chavis, as well as juniors Mai
Jones, Skip Welker, and Dan
Jackson. He hoped some other
runners would come along and
be of great help to the team.
Smith also emphasized that he
was pleased with the hard work
all of his runners were showing.
The Coach made no predictions
as to how the Whirlies would
fare in the conference this year.
However, he did emphasize that
Reynolds was the team to beat.
In the cross country scoring
system only the first five run
ners for each team count in the
totals. Each runner receives the
number of points which corre
spond to his finish. For instance,
the first place runner gets one
point; the second place runner,
two; third place, three; etc. The
team with the lowest point total
wins the meet.
Coach Smith said he had no
specific strategy for his runners
to deploy during the race. Act
ually, the only strategy is “talent
and hard work.” He said the key
to cross country running is “to
keep cool under physical pres
sure.”
This year most meets will be
run on Thursday afternoons.
