Mr. and Mrs. Herman Springs Sr., proud parents of outstanding athletes Herman and ^Sherman, received an award at the Olympic — Athletic Awards Banquet for being sup portive. The Springs attended all their sons’ games and functions. “Our Dad coached us until we got to junior high school," Herman said. Livingstone College will have some very active boosters beginning this fall. Future goals for the future Blue Bears are a career in the USFL or NFL for Sher man and an engineering major for Herman. „ Sherman is also interested in a career in computer science. Some of the accomplishments of the outstanding athletes were “Most Valuable Player” in football for Sherman, an AU Conference punter who also saw duty at tight end and linebacker. “I didn’t come off the field,” Sherman said. “The coach made me run extra laps at practice to keep in shape.” Herman was “Most Valuable Player” of the basketball team and made All-Con ference and All-Christmas tournament at Rock Hill, averaging 17 plus per game for fourth place in the conference. Sherman also pitched for the baseball team and played first base. He batted .321,. hit one homehin, six doubles, and had 26 RBI’s, leading his team to the semifinals of the conference tournament " where they lost their third (me run game of the season to eventual state) champion Independence. /* T'* — ’ .-me. coacnes of me.. Southwestern 4A conference are worried about how the new alignment will affect non-conference op position. Some coaches want to play tough non conference opposition and some want turkies on which to build an outstanding record. On the other hand the athletic directors want games that will sell and draw a lot of . fans. Here’s some of the rivalries that may or may not b^ abandoned when g* 1985-86 football schedule is put together: North and East, North and South, North and Inde pendence, and North and Myers Park. Also Olympic and South, Olympic and Independence, Olympic and Myers Park, West Charlotte and East, West Charlotte and South, West Charlotte and Indepen dence, West Charlotte and Myers Park, Harding and Myefs Park, and West Meck lenburg and Myers Parkv The task is to satisfy tne coaches and to put money into the treasury at the same time. u is my Deuet mat me innovative leaders in our conference will probably opt for a plan that pairs teams against non-con ference opposition from the other division on a rotating basis. For instance, West Charlotte might play East for two years and drop them and pick up the next team on the rotation. This is the only way everyone could play everyone else and to drop these big local games when the teams are going to have more travel on their schedule would not be monetarily beneficial. Look for new rivalries to develop between East Gaston and West, East Gaston and Harding, Ash brook and Myers Park, Qfei and Myers Park, Huss and Garinger, ~ Ash brook and South, and East and Huss. Stewart Cole of South Mecklenburg, Jay vMcGraw of North Mecklenburg, and Mark Withers of Independence were named to the All-State baseball team as selected by the Greensboro News and Record. Cole was an outfielder, McGraw a pitcher and Withers an infielder-outfielder. Jackie Wilkes reports that the Johnson C. Smith University Golden Bulls will play some of their games in West Charlotte Stadium. The Bulls have new uniforms for next year and hope to have a new outlook under new coach Horace Small. Big games are with Livingstone, Winston Salem State and North Carolina Central. SPEND this weekend with THE CHARLOTTE POST 1 Fa Hone Delivery Coll 376-0496 ilayea Places High Hopes Qn Quarterback Bobby Junior By James Cuthbertsoa Port Sports Writer “Coach BUI Hayes said he expects for me to cone out and be able to be a leader for the team," said 1964 Olympic graduate Bobby Junior. “He told me not to look for favors be cause he believes that I can do the Job. He plays a lot of quarterbacks and likes to have them roll out, drop back, and pass and run the option.” —That’s Olympic’s Bobbv Junior.
