Vernon JCHf ops Wildcat JV in volleyball matchup
!By JENNIFER FIERRO
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The junior varsity volleyball'
team met the Vernon Junior
College Chaparrals in Moody
Coliseum Tuesday in a best-of-five
match. The Chaparrals took
five games to defeat the Wild-
cats 10-15 15-10 8-15 15-10
and 13-15.
1 Both teams played each other
to a standstill in the first two
games by splitting the two
matches. VJC appeared to have
the upper hand in the match
winning the third game 8-15.
In our Sept. 30 edition we referred to the ACU golf team as "duffers." The
term as we were unaware Is a negative reference to golfer's abilities and sta-
tus. Our apologies to the members of the ACU golf team for this reference
which Is certainly an unsuitable description of their abilities.
ACU coach Vince Jarrctt also was identified with a direct statement. The
statement was actually attained by the Optimist through a press release.

was that we played so poorly.
My goal is to Number 1 play

do that. If we play Central the

said.
ACU will have to play its best
to beat a talented Central Okla-
homa team that will be out for
revenge against the Wildcats.

ACU including last year's 28-

ACU took the fourth game by
winning the first 5 of 7 points.
Though the Wildcats had the
lead the Chaparrals tied the
game at 5-5. Julie Gash junior
from Santa Rosa Calif. helped
ACU regain the lead with her
two serves for points. A sideout
by VJC gave it new life and a 1-
point lead with the help of two
service aces.
But the Wildcats forced a fifth
game because of winning the
final 8 of 10 points. The last 8
points came from service aces

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The llth-ranked Wildcat golf
team will continue its fall
season in Abilene on Monday
and Tuesday in the 10th annual
Charles Coody invitational at
Fairway Oaks Country Club.
Fifteen schools including
Lone Star Conference rivals
University Central Oklahoma
and East Texas State University
will compete in the 36-hole
tournament. Southwest Texas
State University will be the lone
NCAA Division I competitor.
Golf coach Vincc Jarrctt said
ACU which finished 6th in last
year's tournament will field
two teams: a varsity and a
junior varsity.
The varsity squad will consist
of Tommy Resales junior from
El Paso Jeff White sophomor
from Edmond Okla. Darin

caused a sideout with a spike
and proceeded to bring the
Wildcats 1 point closer with a
service ace.
Down 13-11 VJC scored the
final 4 points to put the game
and match away with match
point coming from a spike just
inside the right sideline.
Junior varsity coach Marc
Johnson said the team looked
promising to win the match in
the final game.
Though the team was on the
losing end the junior varsity
coach said he was satisfied with
complemented by a defense that
ranks No. 1 in the LSC. The
Broncos yield 9.6 points and
242.2 yards a game. Defensive
back Elton Rhoadcs has five
interceptions for a talented sec-
ondary that has picked off an
LSC-leading 12 passes and has
limited opponents to a mere 344
percent of their passes.

"We usually do well in this

"Fairway Oaks is where wc
practice all the time."
The fall golf season will last
until the first week of Novem-
ber when ACU will wrap the
season up at the Troy State Invi-
tational in Alabama.
"The fall season is just as
important as the spring season"
Jarrctt said. "Playing well in the
fall tournaments helps us get
ranked in the spring."
"Every tournament means a
lot but it's all practice until the
big dance in the spring" Van
Stavcrn said referring to
NCAA Division II national golf
tournament in the spring.

winning a national title we've

coaching."

pretty good" he said. "Wc
jumped out well in the fifth
game."
He said the team did not put
the Chaparrals away during key
moments in the match. "Wcjust
didn't come up with the kill. We
just didn't put the ball away."
He also said the Wildcats did not
pass the ball well.
Some members of the team
went to Colorado for the Air
Force Academy Tournament
and "haven't touched a ball
since last weekend" which may
have aided in the loss he said.
