December 20, 1978 fflGH LIFE Page 5 Engle, Elkins: Top Players Grimsley Dominates Selections by Anthony Beard When the congressior assembled to select All-Divi sion 7 teams and coaches on December 4, Grimsley made their presence felt as they were awarded with nume rous titles in all sports. In football, the likely choice for Player of the Year in the Central 4-A Division 7, was Grimsksy quarterback Rod Elkins. His favorite deep receiver, Maurice Jol ley, offensive lineman Bryan Morris, and kicking specia list Kyle Neve, were chosen to the All-Division team. Delaney Bush and Scoop McGee received honorable mention. Noted for their defensive exploits, linebacker Bemie Grzeszczak, lineman Chris Anderson, and back Tony Gilyard were selected also to the All-Division team. Re ceiving honorable mention were John Vestal, John Is- grig, and Nate Warren. Coach of the Year was selected in Cross-Coimtry with Grimsley’s Richard Smith accepting the honor. Making All-Division track was Paul Bailey, Mike Sink midEdwardCottinghmm^ GHS seniors Teresa Ar nold and Kris Gross were selected to the All-Confe rence team for their efforts in volleyball. Jo Ann Engle was named Player of the Year in Girls Tennis where she was ranked as high as sixteenth in the state. Her coach, Linda Tamblyn, was chosen as Coach of the Year. Engle, along with Pam Newell, was selected to the All-Division team, and the Newell-Engle doubles combination was al so noted for its successful season. Chinese Tour Grimsley On November 14, Grimsley students were startled by the presence of the Peoples Republic of China. But don’t be alarmed, it was the basketball team of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). The Chinese team was on the Grimsley campus. One of the most interesting highUghts was the appearance of their center. At 7’5” (rumors had it up to seven feet, ten inches by the end of the day) and weighing 300 poimds. Mu Tieh-Chu is not your average everyday center. Mu Tieh-Chu was not shy about having his picture taken as he urged aU photographers to take his picture beside some smaller individual. This request was not hard to honor. It was an experience that the students here will never forget as they can truly say, “I know the players on the Chinese Basketball team.” Although there was an obvious language barrier, several of the GHS students seemed, through gestmes and nods, to commimicate with their foreign friends. The players were escorted by the coaching staff and players of the boys varsity basketball team, and Grimsley Athletic Director, Bob Sawyer, to a lunch in the cafeteria. Women Cagers Rebuilding McKenzie pins his Page opponent. Wrestling Round-Up If its opening game is any indication of how the season is going to be, Linda Tam blyn and the girls basketbaU team could be in for a long season. It’s a totaUy new look for the Girl’s team this year. Losing not only such super start as Terri WaUace, Sher- riU SpurviU, and Rita Bar rett, this year’s team lost a lot of size, experience and power. In fact, the team has taken on a whole new look. Linda Tamblyn, voted Coach of the Year in Tennis, is now trying her hand at Coaching this year’s Girl’s team, replacing Pat Addison, the 1977 Coach of the Year. Addisod had other obligations. Tamblyn also has on her coaching ataff the legendary Robert Jamieson who o- pened the Whirlie Boys pro gram 45 years ago and since 1976, until now, had retired .from high school coaching. veral years ago to head up the Cross Country program here. The ‘‘Women Cagers” have a strong starting line up. Kris Gross, Sandra Smith, Tara French, Andi Barclay, and Sherri Phillips, other key stand-ins include debra Moore, Susan Flanna- gan, Onelia Davis, Nancy Heller, Kris Schoolfield, Ka ren Barnes and Pam Rice. See Girls, page 7 Ragsdale Wins Wrestling Tourney by Anthony Beard North Carolina is known for its toimiaments. There is the Big Fom, the ACC, and the Eastern Regional Bas ketball Tournament. But one tournament with more ex citement than any of these is the 1978 Greensboro Invita tional Wrestling Tourna ment. For the uninitiated, the Greensboro Invitational is a wrestling extravaganza. The pereimially powerful Ragsdale Tigers won then- second consecutive Greens boro Invitational in a come- from-behind effort. After fal ling to fouth place foUowing action on the first night, the Tigers came back and breez ed to a easy victory. Rags dale, defending state cham pions, scored a total of 167 points. That was 43 points over second place Northwest Guilford. Dudley finished third with 118^2, followed closely by Northeast at 115*72, and Grimsley at 112.
