Guest Editorial:

Jesse's Place ... at the WVIAC Tournament

For the 8econd 8traight 8e88on Glenville St.te eent both of their b.sketball team8 to the Final Four of the WVIAC. Thi8 year, Glenville was the only 8chool to accompli8h this feat. As a fan (and a sportswriter), it is nice to go down to a..rle8ton and8ee our team8 play eight times inste.d of twice.

Here i •• look .t the week through the eye8 of a Pioneer fao. Thi. year my week was altered by the fact that I am 8tudent teaching .t Braxton County High School, a good 67 miles away from the tourn.ment. Neverthele88, it was. week of fun and frolic down in Otarle8ton. Which i8, a8 Bruce Spring8teen would "y, "My Hometown."

Tuesday, Febru.ry 24· I scooted down 1·79 immediately after school to catch the Lady Pioneen in fint round action .nd the trip w •• well worth it. The Ladies pulled away in the final ten minute8 to down Shepherd 76-68.

Later in the evening, my fraternity brother8 began dribbling a ba8ketball from Glenville to a..rle8ton.

Wedne8day, February 25 • After dribbling a basketball for eleven mile8, I went in8ide and enjoyed a 8uper ba8ketball game. The Pioneen pulled out a thriller over Wheeling on Paul Grier'. 3-pointer in overtime. Every cop in the Civic Center anchored both end8 of the Glenville cheering 8ection ... no lie. I celebrated the day when I arrived home by checking out my SPOrt8 Dlu8trated 8wim8uit i88ue.

Thursday. February 26· A beautiful day. To begin with, the Lady Pioneen pulled a major up8et over number .one Bluefield, 68-64. Amazingly, this was followed by a GSC upset over number two Charleston in the men'8 game, 79· 72. Glenville's two victories came despite the fact that our team8 were heavy underdogs.

Friday. February 27· This day will be remembered as a day of comebacke. The Lady Pioneen managed to complete thein, while the Pioneen came inches short. The Ladies' comeback culminated in a 68-67 double overtime victory over Salem to propel them into the championship game. Down 13 with only 1:09 left, the Pioneen very nearly pulled out a tie against Bluefield, but Paul Grier's three· point attempt with only nine·seconds left rimmed the basket.

Saturday, February 28· I woke up with a fever of 1020 and thing. went downhill after that. The Lady Pioneers were defeated by Concord .63·51 in the women's championship game, while the men fell to Tech in the consolation game, 103-70. The day was not eventful, though.

Between games, the Charleston Town Center was crawling with Glenville folks. I saw former Glenville SID Kenny Osborne who traveled 144 miles to catch the Pioneers. I allO 8aw Greg Reed, who was a member of last year's Pioneer 8quad. The goqd.natured Reed gave me the quote of the week by 8aying "last year I had a better 8eat for the action."

Then there was the ca8e of poor Tim Collin8. Tim experienced the thrill of scoring in a We8t Virginia Conference Tournament only to have his n.me announced a8 "Tom" ... like the drink.

As I was going home after the consolation game, my feeling of sickness was only overtaken by my feelings of .. dness. This w.s my last tournament as a college 8tudent, and the end i8 tough. There are 80 many memories ... not just of the tournament, but of the college yean in general. There are 80 many wonderful people here. It is true that my home i8 a.arleston, but my heart is certainly in Glenville.

Letters~~~~ Letten to the Editor

Ihould be Il,ned .nd delivered to the Mercury office in • Ie.led envelope to inlure (confidenti.lity. All letten will be printed ex.ctly .. received. Spellin" punctu.tion, .nd gr.mm.tical erron will not be corrected. Ple.le proofre.d your letter to .void emb.rr ... • ment.

Dear Editor, This is nothing about the

school. Its just to reach all the students at GSC.

I was driving by a little place. Down south in W VA. And I spotted a few people standing around a small spot on a baseball field.

It didn't look too bad. All I thought it was, was a bunch of kids. Until I saw the bike!

I went over and ask a real close friend of mine what was going on. He looked at me and told me what had happened.

The boy had been drinking. He wasjust driving along and was so intoxicated that he couldn't control the bike, so he hit the bleachers. You know how the bleachers at a field are made? from highest to lowest bleacher?

He hit the bleachers and it just ripped him to shredds. There were pieces of skin and hair on the bike! So, my friend takes me over and the paremedics were looking him over. One of them looked at him and asked if he could hear him, the guy said nothing, but his heart was beating.

He was laying on the ground on his right side. So the paremedics move him over, and hi8 face on the right side was completely wiped away. Just like chalk off a blackboard!

Why do people drive drunk when they know that it's dangerous? I know that it's not safe all the time! You only have a 50/ 50 chance of surviving by just getting in your car and going to work or to the grocery store or even pulling out of your driveway . But all the8e people 8ay, "Oh! I'm fine I can drive with my eyes closed!" That is a lot of bull!

How would you feel if one of your best friends or your sister or brother was to get

killed by a drunk driver or driving drunk themselves? It would hurt you very bad, wouldn't it? You don't stop until it happens to you or the one you love. All I ask is to think about it. I don't know about you but I would rather stand on my own 2 feet and live my full life than get scraped up off of the assfault after trying to drive drunk.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Concerned about my fellow

men/women Freddie K.

Dear Editor, Did you go to the tourney?

A lot of drunk Glenville kid8 did! After all, the first couple d.Y8 were a good eXCU8e for a roadtrip .nd party. I couldn't help notice, however, that theee "loyal" GSC fan8 were not preeent at Saturday'8 game. Gue88 they ran out of booze bucks huh? Sure, that'8 the ticket, its fine while we got money and the team can be. 1 but woe if they 108e a game, I'll st.y home and 8hotgun lOme brew8kY8.

Well I c.n undentand our party campuee's disgrunted attitude, after all, the girl8 only came in 2nd, the boys 4th, and the cheerleaden didn't place. Disregaurd the number of players who

received all conference and tourney award8, the two cheerlead en who 'Won all conference, and our m.scot who got .11 conference. After all, if we don't win, we don't have a realOn to f.ll on our f.ce .nd incre.se the credibility of our school.

Oh well, maybe the tr.ck te.m will do better 10 we can party, or m.ybe the wind will bloweeh?

Zorro, I W.8 there the whole time

(lOber), were YOU! p.8. Get crazy without the price of alcohol.

Dear Editor, This is in response to the

letters involving student. atheletes over the past three weeks.

First, I have to question just how accurate all of these eyewitness accounts have been.

1. Did you really hear a coach promise he would have a grade changed or did you just hear something in passing and decided to come up with your own version of the story?

2. Did you really witness the three athlete8 cheating on their literature exam or is this just something that you

Ladies Pull Together, Finish as Tourney Runner-U by Jesse Skiles

Some teams go to Charleston to close out successful season8 ... others go to Charleston in hopes of "saving" their seasons. For the first time in a long time, Glenville'8 Lady Pioneers ventured to the tournament in order to save their season.

And save it they did! A8 a matter of fact they alm08t won the darn thing. They defeated Shepherd 76-68, top ranked Bluefield 68-64, Salem 68-67 in double overtime, then fell in the finalt to Concord 63-51.

Lady ~oneer head coach Tim Carney wal pleased with the tournament for leveral real on I. The coach elaborated by .. ying "Number one, I was very happy for thing8 to end thil way for Rhonda (Hicks) and Mar8ha (Shrader). They realize the importance of the team concept, and have enjoyed fine careers. Secondly, I hope the kid8 coming back have learned the importance of hanging together, and the fact that they have the talent to reach their goaI8."

Carney attributed the three victoriel to leveral a'pectl of the Lady Pioneer game. He pointed to a balanced, team·oriented offenle and a hU8tling, aggre88ive defen8e. The Bluefield and Salem win8 were tightly conte8ted and down to the wire.

Concerning the 1088 in the finall, Carney had 8everal amwers. The team was tired (perhapI emotionally a8 well after the Salem game) and the lOll of Karen Wooters (to an ankle injury) turned out to be a crucial blow. Concord changed to a zone defenle with Glenville up at 15-12, and immediately made a charge. The zone remained luccellful through. out the contelt .. the Ladiel continued to mill from the outeide ... perhapl Wooten could have taken care of that.

Letters cont. from pg. 2

heard through the gJ:ape­vine?

I could write a list a mile long of promises that were made to atheletes I played ball with. The truth of the matter is that these "so­called" promises were only good until the athlete left the coaches office. As a matter of fact I could list a number of potential college graduates that were forced to leave Glenville because of financial promises that were not kept. So, I question just how accurte this story could be.

Also, if you really witnessed someone cheating on an exam than you should have done something about it at the time. By not going to the professor that tells me

Special (;ongratulations To the men's and women's basketball teams, which had a great showing at the tournaments.

TKE

Lost Gold cameo ring. If found please contact Terri in Rm. 301. Substantial reward.

that you approved of what was going on and that you did not want to do anything about it or that maybe it really didn't happen like this afteralI. So tell me, if this story is true and if you were so outraged, why didn't you do something at the time.

In closing I have one last thought. If both of these incidents did actually happen, and it really upsets you, why don't you really take a stand and sign your name to these letters. If you don't have enough about you that you won't sign your own letters than how about not wasting our time with them.

Respectfully, Ronald E. Lane

P.S. Did you ever think about writIng for the National Enquirer!
