Rather, the person will be person

short, Schexnider seems to prefer
fjeople that follow his plans.
! Based solely on the way that
hie has dealt with the athletics
department and the school's
off?rd of directors, it appears
that he wants to have everything

done his way. That leaves little
room for a person who is knowl
edgeable in the subject area to
conduct business.
Not only that, but the clock is
steadily moving toward the start
of the 1997-98 athletic year.
There are countless items that
have to be dealt with and there's
no one left to mind the school's
athletic business other than A1
J Roseboro, the ousted athletic
director.
That again puts the university
in a Catch 22 situation. How can
the university bring someone in
at this late date and not have
someone familiar with the pro
gram to walk the new person
through the motions until they
can grasp what has happened in
the past and what needs to be
done in the future.
You have to give Roseboro
credit. One thing that he certain
ly knows is how the program has
1
been run in the past. His invplve
ment with the university goes
back more than 25 years. So
obviously he does have the ability
to fill in the gaps for the person
who comes in to assume the posi
tion But at this point, who wants
to step into a situation like the
one at WSSU? The Rams will be
hard-pressed to find someone
with the ability and desire to take
on the responsibility of running
the school's athletic department.?
After all, a lot of eyes will err-. .
tainiy be on him or her.
Give Roseboro credit. One

thing that he certainly knows is.
how the program has been run in

"We did it mainly because of
the players' talent level," she said.
"We feel that playing up would
help the girls in the long run."
Most of the girls on the team
live in Forsyth County and
attend Walkertown, St. Leo's or
Ashley Middle School.
The thing that Bitting admires
most about her team is the fact
that her players are well-rounded.
First of all, they all are honor

students. Secondly, they like each
other and support each other.
More importantly to Bitting is
the fact that the players share a

"As a Christian, I feel that it is
important to share this experi

The team will be raising funds
for its trip to Louisiana in the

she is thankful for the support
the team has already received.
"We've had a lot of people

said. "We were fortunate enough
to have the use of the Carl

want to thank Dorenda Phillips
for that."

ieason to break a three-year-old
?ecord of 57.60 that was set by

? Coach DeValden Penn said
*
Brinkley's work ethic and will to
thieve are what sets him apart
(rom other team members.
"He really cares about what he's
doing and he wants to be successful
at it," Penn said. "He works hard
every day and takes it seriously.
You don't see that with most kids
fyis age"
' Brinkley said he sort of just fell
into the sport of track and field. He
decided to go out for the team as a
seventh grader to stay in shape for
apccer and basketball, which he
played simultaneously last spring.
' "1 really was surprised at the
success f had," Brinkley said. "I
didn't know what to expect when I
first went out. I was just doing it
because it looked like fun and I
thought that it would be a good
way to keep myself in shape."
' i^enn said Brinkley took to
track wk^ a duck takes to water.
? "He has all tfieTools to be sue

cessful," Penn said. "He's in great
shape all the time. He really could
run all day. He has that kind of sta
mina."
When he isn't running track,
Brinkley spends time on the tennis
court, the golf course or on the soc
i . 1
Kobmrt Hubmr
cer practice Field. He has played in
many tennis tournament and
breaks 90 on the golf course regu
larly.
Because of his commitment to
soccer he had to give up his slot on
the Carolina Hornets' 14-and
under basketball team. That team
captured the State AAU Basketball
championship and earned a berth
in the national championships later
this summer. But, because he has a
chance to accomplish the same
type goals in soccer, Brinkley had
to put soccer on hold.
"There was just no way that I
could continue to play both,"
Brinkley said. "With all the travel
that's required, I just couldn't con
tinue to keep that kind of sched
ule."
However, he said he wants to
keep his options open for the
future. Next fall, when he begins
his high school career at Reynolds,
he plans to participate in the
Demons' soccer program. In the
winter season he is hoping to earn
a slot in the RJR basketball pro
gram. But when it comes to spring
sports, there are several scenarios.
"I don't know which one I'll
chose," he said. "I like golf, tennis
and track."
Penn said he'd like to see
Brinkley continue running track.
"He has a lot of potential,"
Penn said. "For him to be a 13
year-old and being able to run 37.3
in the 400 is saying something. He
has also done well in the 200 and I
think he could also be strong in the
800."
As this article went to press
Brinkley and his teammates were
preparing for Cook's Conference
Meet, which was held on
r
Wednesday (May 21) at Mount
Tabor. Both Penn and Brinkley are
hoping that he will lower his time in
his final meet on the middle school
level. They also think it is possible
that he could break the 22.9 con
ference record in the 200-meter
dash.
"I think he wants to leave some
thing behind," Penn said. "I think
it is very possible that he could
break 22.9 in the 200.
BRINKLEY ISN'T THE
ONLY MEMBER OF THE
Cougars' track team who has put
up impressive numbers. Robert
Huber, who runs the middle dis
tance races, has also enjoyed a
good year. Huber has set the record
in the 800-meter run in 2:21.77. He
broke the old record of 2:25.0.
"I think Huber also has a good
future ahead of himself," Penn
said. "I think he has a real bright
future in track because of the
endurance that he has"
In addition to Brinkley and
Huber, Penn said he has since con
stant overall improvement in the
Cougars team this year.
"Tim Leones, Sam Stephens
Michael Bach and Jared Keiper
have all performed well for the
team," Penn said.
