Weight room bulks up, swings way toward better equipment The Whirlie Booster Club’s fundraiser at Pine Knoll’s Golf Course raised almost $3,000 to pay for new equipment. Though this is only a small portion of the projected $25,000 the weight room needs, the Booster Club remains hopeful and plans to hold the tournament again in the future. for the weight room. “We didn’t expect a lot of money from the tournament, but it really got us off the ground. After expenses, we cleared $2,994.08. We hope to have a few more small donations that will come in from individuals,” said Pegram. To finish the weight room, $25,000 is needed, and, as Pegram said, “It’s an expensive room, and you can’t just get hole for $250. Other groups, such as the baseball team and Flag Corps, came to the course to support by volunteering. Junior Whitney Byrd, one of the captains of the Flag Corps, helped and plans to participate again next year. “[The Booster Club] should advertise more and get more people involved [next time],” she said.

This By Jessica Cooper Reporter “Would you like to buy some candy?” “Car wash!” “Submit your ads to the yearbook.” “Purchase a poinsettia to support the orchestra.” A new phrase can now be added to the usual suspects of fundraising slogans: “Fore!” Grimsiey’s newest fundraiser, the Booster Club Golf Tournament, took place at Pine Knoll’s Golf Course in Kernersville, on September 27,2003, to benefit the weight room. “There won’t be immediate results,” said Mrs. Andrea Neese Pegram, head chairwoman of the committee. “This will be an on going process, slowly replacing the equipment in the weight room.” The weight room’s current equipment is not functional for the space available. Football coach Todd Shuping wants multifunctional equipment that three or four students can use at a time, like the equipment in a normal gym, and better use of the available floor space. However, a specific monetary goal was not set for the golf tournament because the Booster Club wanted to use this event to start the fundraising t Wlilli iiiig*: Ml A Cooper Photo Second-place winners Sergio Tbrbay, senior Austin Carter, freshman Zeb Vance, and Gil Vance ham it up for the camera after a long day of golHng, fundraising, and fun. $25,000 as fast as you want it.” Sixty-nine golfers participated, including Todd Shuping, golf coach Joe Franks, Mrs. Cathy Batts, Mr. Phil Weaver, Mr. Marty Woody, parents, students, and friends, each paying $40 to play. Nine corporate sponsors, including Neese’s Sausage, Mosaic Tile, and an anonymous Greensboro Senior High Graduate, helped by sponsoring a The day ended with a barbeque in the clubhouse. “Door prizes were drawn for, and there were actually enough for everyone to get something, whether it was a Grimsley license plate or a Cheerwine clock,” Pegram said. The first place winners of the tournament were all non-Grimsley students: Bev Marler, Vic Marler, Marty Blackwell, and will benefit all students that use the weight room,” said Pegram. Future golf tournaments are going to be bigger, and because the Boosters plan on holding this event annually, interested participants for next year’s event can plan whether they want to support by volunteering, playing, or sponsoring a hole. Intreducina Ken Daly; Varsity Men’s Soccer “The level and speed of play and most everything we play is better [than middle school],” said Daly. “If you are worrying By Sara Kelleher Sports Editor While an intense soccer game occurs, one notices #19 running down the field, wondering the identity of the scampering competitor. By the way he plays, one would not know #19 is a freshman. Contrary to status, underclassman Kenneth Daly plays like a veteran on the soccer field. His hard work and competitiveness contribute to his accomplishments, as well as making him one of two freshmen that made the varsity soccer team this year. I -' Cooper Photo about the upperclassmen, you get used to it.” Varsity’s daunting image might be overwhelming for newcomers, but the picture is soon adjusted. “You become a faster, better player (quicker than on JV) playing with [upperclassmen],” said Daly. “At first they were intimidating, but not anymore.” Intimidation is invisible when Daly sets on the field. Whether on his Greensboro Soccer Club ’88 green or school team, Daly’s athletic commitment is not limited. He spent his sunny afternoons participating in the Super-Y league for the Dynamo this summer and participates in weight and endurance training outside of practice. . “[We] practice every day unless we have a game,” said Daly. “About 60% of my life is soccer.” Aside from countless hours of this sport, Daly plays basketball and baseball. Although these activities are enjoyable, Daly does not neglect his love for soccer balls and running. “I’ve already put so much time into soccer, why waste that?” said Daly. “I just love the game.” Daly has been playing “the game” for nine years and still finds soccer captivating. “I can’t describe it. It’s the feeling I get on the field when you are in the game sweating and it’s all about you and the man you are supposed to stop and beat,” said Daly. Daly’s seniority is low now, but his future aspirations for soccer are bright. “[I hope] to be scouted and get a scholarship,” said Daly. “[I want] to play at the highest level I possibly can.”
