ATHLETICS Football Standouts Lead the Way The Hurricanes football team got off to a great start as they opened up the 2013 season with a five-game win streak, highlighted by wins over Lackawanna College and Dean College. The team stumbled through the remainder of the season, finishing with a final record of 5-4. Head Coach John Sala’s crew was led by sophomore running back Chris Brown (LaGrange, NC), who averaged over 60 yards of rushing per game, and sophomore wide receiver John Wheatley (New Bern, NC), who made 26 receptions, six of which went for touchdowns. The LC defensive unit was an exciting group, making big play after big play. Linebacker Stephen Williams (Reidsville, NC) was a tackling machine, getting in on 75 total tackles, 13 for loss; he also picked off one pass that he returned 65 yards for a score. Kenny Watt (Seneca, SC) and Darshaun Ford (Clermont, FL) were standout defensive backs, as they each picked off four passes through their nine games played.Men’s Soccer Reaches NJCAADistrict Championship Men’s soccer had a very successful 2012 under first-year Head Coach Cristian Neagu, and the team was poised to make another run at their first national title in 2013. They finished the regular season with a misleading record of 9-6-1, with six earned wins being forfeited as losses due to an ineligible player rule. The Hurricanes battled back to a near-flawless effort, including three straight wins in the Region X Tournament, during which they outscored their opponents, 23-1. After earning their second-straight Region X tournament title, the Canes traveled to Melbourne, Florida, where they dropped the District Championship, 1-0. It was the only game of the year in which sophomore goalkeeper Brian Howard (Roanoke Rapids, NC) earned a loss. Still, the team’s offense was one of the nation’s best as they finished with 99 total goals, 2nd among all NJCAA teams. Adrian Gonzales (Fuquay-Varina, NC) led the scoring effort as he knocked home 21 total goals. Women’s Soccer Players Are Cream of the NJCAA Crop Head Women’s Soccer Coach Andy Stokes knew he would have some offensive punch in 2013 as he had the top goal-scorer in the country, Jessica Scales (Roanoke Rapids, NC), returning for her sophomore campaign. Little did the fifth-year head coach know that he would gain even more of an offensive advantage with freshman forward Sam Rowland (London, England) leading the NJCAA in goals and points for most of the year. At the end of the 2013 campaign, Rowland finished 2nd in goals and points, while Scales finished 4th in goals, 8th in overall points. The Lady Canes finished the year with an overall record of 15-4-1, and a co-regular season title with a Region X mark of 11-1. Stokes’ squad made it to the Region X Tournament championship game where they were knocked off 2-0, thwarting their bid for a return to the NJCAA Championship Tournament.54 COLUMNS / SPRING 2014
ATHLETICS Coach Mangum Continues to Build Up Volleyball Program Second-year Head Volleyball Coach Colby Mangum assembled a very talented squad for 2013 as she started rebuilding a program that she could call her own. Mangum had a pair of returning sophomores that played a great deal in 2012 with Ashley Britton (Henrico, NC) and Kaitlyn Sitterson (Williamston, NC), and they led the way on the floor in the 9-9 regular season (10-11 overall). Freshman setter Ellen Tootoo (Wilmington, NC) was a big part of the Lady Canes’ success as she earned an All-Conference nod for her efforts; she is expected to lead a 2014 team that will have a good sophomore/freshmen mix.Men’s Basketball Wraps SeasonFull of WinsThe Hurricanes men’s basketball team had another great year,wrapping up their 2013-14 season with a record of 28-5, 16-2 inRegion X play. The team also earned a Region X regular season title,but fell by one point during overtime in the postseason regionalchampionship game.Big man in the middle Marcus Freeman (Williamston, NC) wasa force in the paint all year, as the sophomore center averaged adouble-double with over 12 points per game and hauled in tenboards per game. Trey Brown (Newport News, VA) also hit fordouble-digits with just over 11, while Miles Bowman (Winston-Salem, NC) was going for over 20 per game before an injury endedhis season after 12 games played. Lady Canes Basketball Returns to Nationals The Lady Canes basketball team returned to the NJCAA Championship Tournament this spring after winning it all in 2013. However, the sixth-seeded Canes fell in the opening round to New York’s Monroe College, finishing in the final 16. With a final season record of 24-7, first-year Head Coach Shay Hayes (who was voted “Coach of the Year” by her Region X peers) had to be pleased with her team’s effort. Guards Courtney Raiford (Greenwood, SC) and Kiara Rawls (Killeen, TX) were the leaders on the stat sheet; Raiford averaged 14 points per game, six rebounds, and five assists, while Rawls averaged just over 14 points per game and four boards. 55SPRING 2014 / COLUMNS
