Page B4 Wnston-S^m Qirmide Thursday, April 28,1988 Piedmont Senior Games just the beginning Baiiey says By RANDY PETTITT Chronicle Sports Editor While most of us think of retirement as years of silling back, taking it easy and gelling out of shape, Edith Bailey says it could be a whole different story. "I can’t think of a belter time to start exercising and worrying about being physically fit," said Bailey, the coordinator of this week’s Pied mont Plus Senior Games. "I’m sure a lot of people arc loo busy to exercise very much while they arc still working," she said. "But retirement could be the beginning of physical fitness for a whole lot of people. It’s really never too late to start. ” Bailey’s message strikes partic ularly close to home this week, as the Piedmont Plus Senior Games is in full swing in various sites around Winston-Salem. The Senior Games, which are open to any Davie, Forsyth, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin County reisdent over the age of 55, are qualifying events to the state level of competi tion held this summer. Bowling and the One-mile walk arc among the most popular events according to Bailey, but the games offer table tennis, horse shoes, bil liards, track and field, tennis, golf and bicycling among others. Bailey said that a pair of 90- ycar-old participants are expected in this year's events, while past years have brought several partici pants 70 years and older. Opening ceremonies for the fourth annual Piedmont Plus Senior Games were held yesterday at Win ston-Salem State University. The golf tournament begins this morn ing at the Winston Lake Golt Course, while Northside Lanes hosts the bowling competition at 1:30 p.m. Crystal Towers will host shuf- flcboard at 9 a.m., while the swim ming events begin at Wake Forest University at 11 a.m. On Friday, the games conclude with tennis at Wake Forest Univer sity running throughout the day, along with bicycling at 9 a.m. and running events on the Wake Forest track at 11 a.m. Though registration for the games has already past, Bailey said that the program goes on all year. "We have groups of people who get together and run or play certain sports," she said. "They also have social gather ings and take trips. Its just a group of people who are determined to continue exercising despite their age. They are still young at heart." LUBES TO YOU 760-9438 (Mon.-Sat.; 8 A.M.-8 P.M.)

Winston Lake AAU From Page B3 son must leave the game and called a two-shot technical foul on the Twin City team for the use of an illegal player. After a time out, Winston Lake briefly had six players on the court as the ball was being inbounded, and subsequently was whistled with another technical. By then, Yanceyville had built a seven-point lead and hung on to a 111-102 win despite strong inside play from Feggins, Bryant and Don nie Seale. Winston Lake finished 2-2 in the 19-and-under tournament, and played without reserves Fred John son, Anthony Ingram and Sherman McCoy, all three of whom were injured. Hollingsworth would not com ment on why Thompson missed three of the four games, only saying that it was for "disciplinary rea sons." The Winston Lake 15-and- under team dropped their first two games and were quickly eliminated in their tournament. The 15s, coached by Luther "Ticky" Burden, was considered to be one of the smallest and youngest teams in the state AAU tournament. In the first game, Winston Lake's 15-and-under squad hung tough in the early going before dropping a decision to the Raleigh Stars. Teddy Allen, whb finished with 10 points, was the only Twin City player in double figures. In the second game, Winston Lake trailed Smokey Mountain 54- 53 and was fouled with no lime left on the clock. Both free throws rolled out, though, and the Winston Lake YMCA-sponsored team was out of the tournament. Burden said that despite the two losses, the tournament was a learning experience. "Most of the teams we face had several players who were standouts at the jayvee level,” said Burden. "Our team only has two guys who have had junior varsity experi ence. With that in mind, I think we held our own pretty well.." Correction - Last week the Chronicle incorrectly stated that Charlotte had dominated the AAU 17-and-under tournament in the last five years. In fact, Winston-Salem won the title in both 1983 and 84. The '83 Patterson YMCA- sponsored team, which featured Brian Howard, Greg Scales, Robert Hill and Ronnie Christian, won the stale title and finished fifth in the nation. The 1984 team, featuring Howard and Jeff Denny, also won the AAU state 17-and-under state crown. They finished eighth in national competition. The teams were coached by Ed "Buck" Joyner and Norman Brown. The Chronicle regrets the error. JOIN TEAM VALVOLINE AND WIN!
