Varsity Football Diamond Dust =. a* The varsity softball team, once again, had a great sea- son. This years team was led by six seniors and many de- buting rookies. Three out- standing coaches:Coach Turner, Coach Hatcher, and a newest addition, Coach Copelan were big contribu- tors to the teams suc- cess.Since July, days were spent planning stategies and having batting practice. Some Sunday afternoon practices were called.

Di- one was unstoppable during another exciting Cavalier home game. Shooting Stars The 1996 Varsity Boys Basketball team begqana new era with many changes. Last spring when Coach Slocum decided to end his basketball coaching career, Coach Don Sherwood stepped into the vacated po- sition and must have felt the pressure of keeping the win- ning tradition alive. Yet the former MDS track and b- team basketball coach used his experiences from St.An- drews Academy and Wayne County High School to know the system and make the transition as smooth as pos- sible. The boys team was set with tremendous obstacles. They had two seniors and a lot of players with little or no experience. However, that didnt stop them as they played impressively against teams that had taller and more seasoned players. The team beat three GISA pow- erhouses; Monroe, George Walton, and Athens Chris- tian in our own gym to finish with a winning record of 16-9. I'm open! Give me the rock! Sophomore Edward Kendrick gets ready to receive a pass so that he can try to dunk over his defender It's a bird, its a plane, no its a Super Cav!"

Junior Dione Cooper Varsity Boys Basketball Point Blank The 1995-96 Mount de Sales Lady Cavaliers basket- ball team was a spectacular one. This year the team was led by four seniors who will be greatly missed. They had an incredible record of twenty-three wins and five losses. After winning a heart-stopping region championship game, the Lady Cavaliers were ready to take it all the way to state. They made it to the quarter- finals and lost a terribly hard fought game to Curtis Bap- tist. The team had four play- ers that made All Region Give me the ball!

Even though the team will be losing four valuable players we all be- lieve that if they work as hard next year as they did this year, there is no doubt they will bring home an- other state banner for Mount de Sales.

In The Field This years baseball team had many questions that needed answering by the end of the season. Who is going to pitch and how would the adjustment affect the team? was the main one asked during the pre- season. The loss of 6 se- niors, 3 of whom pitched nearly 95% of the time, pre- sented a challange for the coaches Tony and Chester Pierce. By the first game, it was evident that the team was young, composed of only 5 upperclassmen. Although the season had its ups and downs, the team finished with a 10-10 record, win- ning their last 4 games and went off to Augusta Chris- tian to play for the quarter finals. In a perfectly played game, Mount de Sales lost their hard fought battle by only 5-4. At the seasons end, the coaches were very im- pressed by the overall im- provements of their rookies yet saddened by the gradua- tion of 3 seniors: Cody Hale, Keith Hatcher, and Lance Going, going, GONE!
