The rivalry between Grimsley and Page is at its climax. The players are psyched and the fans are going wild. “There’sa lotof tradition involved in this game,” quote Mike Elkins, Grimsley’s quarterback. ‘‘Scottie Gilmore, who’s been out because of an ankle injury,' will return for the Page game. Billy Fuller will be back, also Jay Dunn, who’s been out of play because of a leg injury, will not be able to return,” said Elkins. “The team as a whole has made steady improvement. Our pass coverage has been very good, and it’s always improving. The linebackers are going to be under a lot of pressure since Page has a good offensive team,” said free safety^ Brian Gay'. “Our offense has been improving in addition to our defense and this year, we’re go ing to show it,” said Elkins. “Practicies are long and hard.

Larry Reece assisted on two of the goals, and Billy Williams assisted one. In the final game the Whirlies played cross town rival Page. Explosive tempers were exhibited throughout the entire game. Mike Woodell scored Grimsley’s first and only Grimsley’s regular season was to have started September 13 with a game against Southwest Guilford, but the game was canceled due to rain. In their second game of the season Grimsley defeated Winston- Salem Parkland 7-1. The rest of Grimsley’s season looks challenging, with games scheduled this month against Dudley, Western Guilford, South Stokes, Andrews, and West For syth. Grimsley is expected to do well this year in the state. In a Pre season pole the Whirlies were rank ed 6th in the state. Training Staff A Necessity By Frank Kauder “Hey Coach, I’m hurt,” is one of the most dreaded, and, unfor tunately, one of the most common statements in sports. AU athlete’s, from sand-lot to professional, get hurt sometime or another. Luckily, when Whirlie athletes are injured, the Grimsley Training Staff is there to take care of them. Head Trainer, Joe Franks, who was a student trainer for both Grimsley High School and Clemson University, is new to the program this year. Also, Grimsley has one of the finest student trainer’s pro gram’s in the state. It consists of seniors, Frank Kauder and Chris Allard, as well as sophomore, David Jonhston, who, according to Kauder, “has great potential.” The trainers work closely with team physician. Dr. John Lalonde, and orthopedist. Dr. James Aplington. “All major decisions come from them,” according to Franks. Both Kauder and Allard have been trainers since their sophomore year and twice have-attended the North Carolina Student ’Trainers’ Clinic held during the summer at UNC-G. Kauder has worked with football. Varsity and JV baseball, men’s Varsity and JV basketball, and women’s soccer and softball, while Allard has worked with foot ball, women’s basketball and track. They both hope to continue with athletic training on the collegiate level; Allard at ECU and Kauder at either NC State, Wake Forest or Duke. David Johnston, Frank Kauder and half time of game. Dedication plays a major role in the life of an athletic trainer. “It’s a lot of hard work, very little glory and not many people outside of the coaches really understands what you are doing,” says Franks. The trainers spend about 25-30 hours a week on the job. “Sometimes sacrifices have to be made, but I wouldn’t change it for the world,” staetes Kauder. School work also comes into play and knowing how to budget time is a necessity. “I guess I could say my grades suf fered at first, but now. I’ve learned how to study. I make use of weekends and don’t sleep much during the week,” says Kauder. To many spectators, all a trainer does is tape ankles and fill water cups, but this is only one aspect of sports medicine. The job of a trainer consists of the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of all Chris Allard pose for a shot during athletic-related injuries. They are responsible for getting an injured player back to his or her sport as soon as possible. “Some physicians don’t strive for this and would sideline a player for two months for a simple pull or sprain,” says Franks. Other aspects of training include being able to work closely with both the athletic and the medical professions. “I love sports and I want to be a doctor so it’s been a really great experience for me,” ex claims Kauder. Johnston also wants to be a doctor and plans to attend UNC-Chapel HilL “From what I’ve seen, I really like it,” states the sophomore. The job is hard, but, according to Kauder, “it all pays off when you know that you’re the reason that you helped someone to overcome an injury and remain 100% better.” Whirlies Hold Bulldogs Scoreless By Julie Workman No one can remember the last time Burlington Williams Football team has been held scoreless. Perhaps no one can remember the last time Grimsley won a football game. In the opening game of the football season the Grimsley Whirlies shutout the Burlington Bulldogs defeating them 10-0. The Whirlies showed great deter mination as they delivered the first blow with just one minute remain ing in the first quarter. Grimsley had possession of the ball at their own 18-yard line, but due to some of Burlington’s costly mistakes and Grimsley’s running attack, they quickly were down the field to the Bulldog’s 19. The Williams defense stiffened and the Whirlies settled for a 35-yard field goal, kicked by junior Bryan Carter. A third fumble early in the third quarter gave Grimsley the ball again at the Williams’ 36. From there, quarterback Mike Elkins tossed a 14-yard pass to Chris Havner, Hariy Parrish charged up the center for 15 more yards and Scottie Gilmore received a reverse handoff for a seven-yard touchdown run. After that, unfortunately for the Bulldogs, the Whirlie defense was at its best, forcing the Bulldogs to punt near the end of the game. The following Friday night the Whirlies proved that they had the ability to do it again. Grimsley handed Winston Salem Reynolds their first defeat of the season. Senior quarterback Mike Elkins was at it again and didn’t waste any time doing the right thing as it was obvious ■ to' those who were at the game. While pushed back to the Demon’s 42 due to a holding penal ty, Elkins spotted his first of three touchdowns. He quickly passed to Shawn Bynum at his left who ran for the touchdown. Five plays later and Elkins hit Chris Havner who sprinted down the field for a 71 yard scoring play. Reynolds’ offense couldn’t move the ball and therefore had to kick, putting Grimsley into good field position at the Demon’s 40. Several plays later Elkins passed 18 yards to Allen Leonard for another touchdown that raised the score to 20-0. Reynolds dominated the second half, but not quite enough, even though the scored two touchdowns to change at the end of the game the final score was 20-14.
