Sophomore Ryan Mason and senior Tommy Merritt’s creative efforts won them a trip to Russia.
They went against the grain and wrote a prize winning essay together that was intentionally meant to be written individu-ally.
The Russia and West Virginia Foun-dation makes trips to Russia possible for the winners of a three part essay contest. Topics included: “Why Should I Be Cho-sen?” “If I Am Selected, I Will Share My Knowledge of Russia in the Following Ways” and “How Will Going to Russia Change Me?”
Wayne Canady, theater workshop teacher and board member, has visited Russia once before and is excited to visit again with Mason and Merritt, he said.
“The foundation thought that their essay was the most creative and that the two of them together would have more to share about the experience than just one of them,” Canady said.
Merritt doesn’t really know what to ex-pect when he makes the trip to Russia.
“I entered the contest because I like to travel,” Merritt said.
Merritt has only been out of the country once, to visit Canada, but the Russian cul-ture is far different.
“I just expect to learn about a totally new culture. I’m excited and very open -minded about this,” Merritt said. “It’s all about getting in the mindset.”
The two students will get the opportu-nity to experience new things during their stay, ranging from new foods to a new lan-guage to a different culture.
“I expect it to be extravagant and differ-ent, full of new foods and lots of women,” Mason said.
Merritt is also looking forward to the food.
“The food’s going to be different, but I’ve heard it’s tasty,” Merritt said.
Although they will take the trip togeth-er, Merritt and Mason will stay in separate residences during the two weeks they will be there.
“I’m grateful they’re letting me hang out in their [the host family’s] house,” Merritt said.
While Merritt and Mason take part in activities planned by their host families, Canady will visit museums, see theater productions, visit art and music halls, at-tend concerts and work with professors in all the areas of performing and visual arts.

Senior Jordan Simbeck has played for the varsity basketball team since eighth grade and this year he became the all-time leading male scorer for the team with 1,290 points.
Simbeck signed May 12 to play with Erskin College, where he will play point guard and major in physical education and sports medicine.
“I chose this college because it has both majors and I’m getting the op-portunity to play ball, and also because of the coaching staff,” he said.
Simbeck said his best basketball memory while playing here was win-ning the region championship last year in the fi nal game against Conway, all the fans and the Black Hole. [Photo by Emily Schassler]
Senior Jordan Abercrombie has played softball since she was 10 years old. This year she was selected as an All-Region member and will attend USC Beaufort where she will play soft-ball for the school’s inaugural season. Abercrombie will major in veterinary science.
“I’ve always been a Gamecock fan, but the Hilton Head area is very beautiful. My grandparents live there, and I’ve always liked visiting so I think it would be a very great start to my softball career,” she said. [Photo by Emily Schassler]

Regardless of what they will do while in Russia, Canady said the boys will gain quite a bit of experience.
“It is important for students to get the chance to explore new cultures, people, and try new things that are different from what they are used to,” Canady said. “Peo-ple are people everywhere. That’s why these opportunities are important, to meet these new people.”

“You can be the fastest athlete, but you need the grades, so do good in school,” Goldsmith said.
Head coach JJ Iagulli said he is thankful and excited for both Goldsmith and Hensel. [Photo by Nyla Bland]
Senior Zach Hensel has run cross country and track for three years. In the fall he will attend Coastal Carolina Uni-versity where he will run the 8k in cross country and the 5k or 10k in track.
“Coastal has a good team already. I hope we compete well in the Big South Conference and win some champion-ships,” Hensel said.
Hensel thanked his coaches and family for their support.[Photo by Nyla Bland]
Senior Nick Miller has golfed for Carolina Forest for six years. In the fall he will walk on to the Coker College golf team with a guaranteed spot. Miller’s best moment in high school golf was making it to the state tournament for the fi rst time since 2003, he said.
“Nick is a great player and I’m sure Coker will be impressed with him,” head coach Vil Caroso said. [Photo by Aman-da Harvey]
At the end of this school year, a beloved mem-ber of our faculty will leave.
She has been a member of CFHS for 14 years, has strengthened the a d m i n i s t r a t i v e staff and im-proved our school 100 percent.
Her name is Principal Velna Al-len.
Allen started here as an assistant principal in 1998 and become princi-pal two years later.
Allen was in charge of the expan-sion of the campus, converting the middle school portion of the campus to part of the high school.
The enrollment has also increased, from around 1,200 to nearly 2,000 students.
You will usually fi nd Allen walk-ing around campus, making sure that everything is OK and rarely fi nd her sitting in her offi ce. More than likely, you’ll see her observ-ing in one of your classes, in the cafeteria in the morning or at lunch, or perhaps working in one of the morning security searches.
She will never just walk by you on her way to her destina-tion either. She will usually say something like, “Hey, how are you?”
Chances are that she will know your name as well.
There are nearly 2,000 kids in the school and Allen probably knows most of them.
Allen has ac-cepted the position of Executive Direc-tor of Secondary Education, where
she will be in charge of all nine high schools in the county.
We will miss Allen. She has a great rapport with the students and expects the best from every one of us, which is probably why in 2010 CFHS re-ceived improvement awards from the State Department of Education for the ACT and SAT.
As mentioned in the previous is-sue of the Prowler, CFHS earned the Palmetto Silver Award this year for 2010 for the improved on-time graduation rate among students with disabilities.
Allen has also been a big support-er of athletics here and helped guide our transition from 3A to 4A.
After Allen’s departure we won’t have to transition and get used to a new face as our new principal will be Gaye Driggers.
Driggers has been an assistant principal here for four years and has been trained by the best, Allen.
We will miss you, Mrs. Allen.

We will say ‘goodbye’ to a wonderful leader
shacks encircled by tall metal fences. Every few miles I spotted a small plot of land with a small house and fi elds.
A small village consisting of only a few dozen tin and brick shacks with no electricity or running water sat a few hundred yards away from the hunting camp. While the villagers had nothing, the owner of the safari operation lived in a huge mansion surrounded by a wrought iron fence with a Land Rover.
One night after hunting all day, a vil-lager who worked for the safari company opened the hood of two trucks, took the batteries and began the one-mile walk to his house. When asked why he had the batteries, he said he wanted to listen to the World Cup game that night on the radio and needed both of those batteries to listen to the whole game.
I couldn’t believe the children’s life-style that I saw in South Africa, kids playing soccer in the roads if they were lucky, even walking miles to other vil-lages to play with the children that lived there. After witnessing this and coming home to our rich and free America, I was very shocked.
I realized that the poverty-stricken Johannesburg had turned out to be noth-ing like I had expected.
The Dark Continent was nothing like I expected.
When my family and I left for a 10-day safari in the Limpopo Province of South Africa June 19, I expected to see villages with the same culture and ritu-als as in history books, but, boy, was I wrong.
We fl ew into Johannesburg, the South African capital. There were homeless people on every street corner begging for money from the American visitors.
While walking through the parking garage, we were followed by a man who we were later told was trying to bribe or steal money from us. On the way to our lodging for the night, we were told not to stop at an stop light because there was a good chance we might get shot at or hijacked.
Every house was surrounded by a 10-foot electric fence with rolled barbed wire on top and had spikes on the roof to keep out attackers.
The next day we took a four hour drive to the hunting camp in the Lim-popo Province. Along the way we passed tin can towns, rows of congregated iron

Kraig McBroom named Horry County Teacher of the Year
Neglecting to read his email eventu-ally resulted in chorus teacher Kraig McBroom being named Horry County Teacher of the Year.
“I’ve always taken my name off the list [off the Carolina Forest Teacher of the Year ballot] and I probably would have this time too, but I didn’t read the email saying I was on the list,” McB-room said.
After the faculty selected McBroom to represent them, he had a month to complete the paperwork for the district competition. McBroom spent around 96 hours writing the various essays it re-quired.
“I didn’t think it was worth it [com-pleting all the paperwork] at the begin-ning, but I think it has made me a better teacher in the end because I had to really think about why I do my job,” McBroom said.
McBroom was the only high school teacher to make it into the top 10 semi-fi -nalists. They were interviewed by a com-mittee and fi ve fi nalists were selected. Those fi ve were observed by 14 commit-tee members for a week in April.
This was a stressful process for any teacher, however, maybe even more so
for McBroom who had just fi nished the “Drowsy Chaperone” production the weekend before and had operated on little sleep for the prior month.
“I was nervous when the observers fi rst were in there, but they all left kind notes or participated in the class and looked interested,” he said.
McBroom said years of experience may have helped him in the competi-tion.
“I think having 30 years under my belt already made me stand out from the others,” he said. “I think having all the experience helped to my advantage.”
McBroom fi rst taught in Raleigh for 15 years before moving to Myrtle Beach where he taught at Myrtle Beach High for four years.
“The teaching techniques I used in Raleigh did not work at Myrtle Beach because the kids are different,” McB-room said. “I learned you have to adjust to different students because they aren’t all the same; I think some teachers forget that.”
McBroom was not only the only high school teacher, but also the only male teacher.
“The odds were either stacked against me or for me because there hasn’t been a male to win Teacher of the Year in 17 years,” McBroom said. “I didn’t know
what to think.” Band teacher Jay Harward agreed
with McBroom and is happy he won that title not only for McBroom, but for the fi ne arts programs.
“I was excited for him. He is a fi ne arts teacher and so am I,” Harward said. “This will show people that fi ne arts is important and it will also give more recognition to all fi ne arts programs in schools.”

Junior cruises to Alaska Panthers join mission team to help those in need in Honduras
With the last few days of school and everyone’s favorite season around the corner, many have booked their summer trips and some may have already packed their bags. Whether they will be work-ing every day in the hot sun or relaxing on a beach in the Caribbean, they can all agree that they are excited for summer to fi nally come.
Every summer junior Heather Yee and her family travel to a new place and this year is no exception.
They have planned a seven day cruise to Alaska.
“We always go on vacations and Alas-ka is a place my mom has always wanted to visit,” Yee said.
Even though Yee has been to Egypt, China and Scotland, the excitement of visiting a new place doesn’t fade.
“I’m pretty excited; it should be a beautiful place,” she said. “I love being
able to explore different countries and having stories to tell.”
Although Yee loves to travel, she still thinks there is a downside.
“I hate the long plane rides,” Yee said.
Even though she has traveled to many different countries, Yee’s travels won’t stop here. She will snowboard in Swit-zerland and Italy for Christmas and will return to Italy the following summer.
Junior Lauren Green has left the coun-try for her summer vacation before, but this summer will be different. She will go to Honduras on her fi rst mission trip.
“The church needed more people to go on the mission trip and I accepted,” Green said. “I really wanted to help peo-ple who were in need.”
Green likes the feeling she gets by knowing that she will be helping people, she said.
“It’s really rewarding. They don’t
have as much as we do. They can teach us a lot about their culture and we can teach them,” she said.
Green has always done volunteer work.
“Last summer I went to various Chris-tian leadership camps and small volun-teer trips to help prepare myself for what I would be doing in Honduras,” she said.
There are other things she will do to prepare for her trip.
“I have to pack lots of sunscreen and bug spray plus buy new clothes and shoes to donate to the children in Hon-duras,” Green said. “Also, I have to get the tetanus shot, along with taking anti-malaria medication in case I get bitten by a mosquito,” she said.
Green is not the only Panther who will do volunteer work in Honduras; se-nior Chris Nwanegwo will join her along with other members of the St. James Catholic Church Mission Team.
“I wanted to experience life in another country, especially a third world country like Honduras and this was a perfect op-
portunity,” Nwanegwo said.This will be Nwanegwo’s fi rst mis-
sion trip with his church, but it won’t be his fi rst time leaving the country.
“Even though my dad is from Nigeria, this will only be my second trip out of the country,” he said. “I went to the Ca-ribbean for vacation when I was 10.”
This trip won’t be anything like a va-cation; it will include a wide variety of manual labor.
“I will be fi xing up houses and help-ing provide the residents of the city with supplies,” Nwanegwo said.
Nwanegwo is prepared for his trip to Honduras.
“I’ve raised money along with other people who are going to help pay for the expenses that go along with traveling outside of the country and I’ve refreshed my Spanish,” he said.
Nwanegwo doesn’t mind all of the work that comes with mission trips and volunteering.
“I’m excited; anyone who knows me well knows I enjoy helping people with their problems,” he said.

When Velna Allen tells the class of 2011 to turn their tassels June 3 at gradu-ation, that will be one of her last offi cial acts as principal here.
Allen has been principal for 11 years and has seen the school grow in enroll-ment as well as in the size of the campus.
But when Allen looks back, her prima-ry thoughts are on the students.
“I hope they think I was fair. And that I care about them, but change is good. I’m set in my ways, and new blood will bring fresh ideas,” Allen said.
Those new ideas will come from as-sistant principal Gaye Driggers who will become principal.
“I think she’ll [Driggers] do a good job. She’s already here [so] it will be a smooth-er transition,” Allen said.
But Allen won’t become a stranger here.
“Absolutely, it will be hard for me to stay away,” Allen said.
Because Allen will be the new execu-tive director of secondary education, she will be around some, but said she’ll miss the daily student interaction.
Goodbye, Mrs. Allenby marnetmotleymotley

H
“[I have] mixed emotions, but [it’s] good to work with all high schools and to work with all high school principals to make sure that they are all working prop-erly,” Allen said.
But she said she will never forget her days here.
“The students are so accepting to other people,” Allen said.
Her departing mes-sage to students is all about education.
“Education is the most important thing you can give yourself,” she said. “It makes a difference in your future and in your life.”
How do you feel about Mrs. Allen leaving?
I’m really going to miss Mrs. Allen because she’s been the only principal I’ve ever worked under. Her leadership as a principal has greatly infl uenced my leadership as a coach.

about our school.” In the 11 years Velna Allen has been
principal, she has worked hard to try to improve the school for the better, Driggers said, and Driggers wants to do the same things.
“Allen has laid a good foundation for our school,” Driggers said. “She’s left a set of morals and expectations for our school. But you’ve got to change a little bit because over time people will try to catch you. You need to be competitive and stay one step ahead of the others.”Driggers said CF will miss Prinicpal Allen, but the district will benefi t with her as executive director of secondary education.
“Her knowledge at that level will improve the county and help us,” Driggers said.
At the beginning of each and every school year you get new teachers, thicker textbooks and you are in a higher grade than you were before, but rarely do you get to say hello to a new principal.
Next year most of us will be able to do just that when assistant principal Gaye Driggers takes the position as principal.
“I am very excited to become principal and can’t wait for the next school year to begin,” Driggers said. “We have a lot of opportunities: show choir, athletics and academics. A lot of the community doesn’t know that. They may see only the show choir or only see athletics. I want the community to see all the good things

Death of Paris: On tour at the House of Bluesby gunnerhugginshuggins&kaeliweeksweeks
featureswriter
“Doing the HOB show was pretty ser-endipitous for us. After playing a gig lo-cally at the Fresh Brewed Coffee House downtown last January, we went out to eat at a local diner. Sitting behind us was the head of security at House of Blues. After talking to him for a few hours in the diner, he told us he wanted a copy of our album and that he would give it to the head of booking at the House of Blues. A week later she got in touch with us say-ing she loved the album and I guess the rest fell into place from there.”
QHow did you go about doing ashow at the House of Blues?
Q What was the fi rst concert you went to at the House of Blues?
“The fi rst concert I can even remember attending at the House of Blues was No-vember 2002. I remember it for two rea-sons. For one, it was an awesome lineup: New Found Glory, Finch, Something Corporate and Further Seems Forever. The second reason is because during Further Seems Forever’s opening set, the crowd began pushing back and forth. I tried to keep my balance, but I tripped over someone’s legs and fell to the ground. Then people were pushed and landed on my back, pushing me down at a weird angle. I felt funny the rest of the show, and after a doctor’s visit, I found out I ruptured my appendix. I was out of school for about three weeks after that. I’ll never forget that concert.”
Q How have social networkingsites helped with promoting
your band/CD/show?
“Last May, when we went out to Los An-geles to record the album, we knew that in order to start a whole new project we would need to introduce ourselves. By using social networking like Facebook, we were able to create an event to invite everyone we knew. We continued this method when we went on tour.”
Q Have you added anyone to your band?
“Since last November we have added Patrick Beardsley on guitar and Pat North on bass, and since February Bryan Bass has become our permanent drummer. Be-tween the fi ve of us, with Jayna included, we all feel like we have the lineup that was meant to be for the band.”
QHow can people listen to your music before the show?
“For free music, you can visit our Band-camp web site at deathofparis.bandcamp.com. From there we have our summer single “We’ll Sleep When We’re Dead” available for free download. For another free song, head over to our Reverbnation site to download “East or West” for free also. The full album can also be streamed and downloaded on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Bandcamp and CDbaby all for various prices near $10.”
Q What is the hardest part aboutbeing in a band?
“All of us in the band have day jobs, and while we hope to make music our full-time professions, in the meantime it’s a diffi cult balance of booking out of town gigs while at the same time making sure bills and rent are all taken care of. None of us are rich or anything so we are con-stantly caught between playing as much as possible and being responsible young adults.”
QDo you have any future plansfor Death of Paris?
“As of now, our goal is to prepare for this House of Blues show and gear up for the East Coast tour this July. After com-ing back from tour, we will begin play-ing regionally most weekends, hopefully playing a few festivals this year and se-curing more opening slots for national tours. Who knows where it will go from there.”
Q What is the easiest part aboutbeing in a band?
“After being the band’s booking agent, manager, promoter and publicist, when it
comes down to it, the easiest part is also the most enjoyable and that is playing the music. There’s no better rush than when you get to connect with an audience in the live setting.”
After the breakup of This Machine is Me, vocalist Jayna Doyle and 2005 CF graduate and rhythm guitarist/keyboard player Blake Arambula started compos-ing songs under the name Death of Par-is. After recording a debut album in Los Angeles last May, Death of Paris is plan-ning an East Coast tour. They will play a free concert at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach July 25. The Prowler staff caught up with Arambula via email for a question and answer session.

Awesomeness, pure awesomeness from these usersNo real subject, just entertainment, the online cream of the cropby daniel cepeda
entertainmentwriter
This is my farewell column. I enjoyed reviewing YouTube sites for you this se-mester. Hopefully my recommendations found you new entertainment in the Internet jungle that is YouTube. One fi nal time I have trekked into the web and found the last few channels to recommend.
The channel “freediew” has become a quick personal favorite. Though quite the unsung hero, this YouTuber really knows how to manipulate special effects. Though there is no real theme in his vid-eos, I found them all just plain awesome.
Things such as gunshots, stop motion and whimsical effects are done with such mastery.
“Freddiew” can be considered a pro-fessional YouTuber, meaning he makes money from his works. If you didn’t know, you can make money from just making videos for YouTube.
“Freddiew,” aka Freddie Wong, fi rst appeared on YouTube as a professional Guitar Hero player. He later became bet-ter known for his productions. Wong is self employed, with his own production company where he freelances in fi lm and/or sound effects.
I honestly found no real negatives about this channel. The effects in the vid-eos, such as blood spatters to making Su-
per Mario into a fi rst person point of view, are constantly astounding. From what I have seen, it is obvious that Wong has a passion for his videos.
If you haven’t fi gured out yet, I highly recommend “freddiew” to anyone. My favorite videos include “Light Warfare,” “Halloween Massacre” and “Rocket Jump.” I also recommend “.50 Cal Wil-liam Tell” if you want to see a watermel-on get blown off Wong’s head with a .50 caliber sniper bullet. This channel is a real boredom breaker.
Lights, camera, crazy awesome action
The musical man behind the glasses
Last issue I felt that I didn’t give this channel enough justice just leaving it in the recommendation section, so this time “MysteryGuitarMan” gets a full review.
“MysteryGuitarMan” provides unique music videos that come from the mind of the channel host, Mike Penna, aka “Mys-teryGuitarMan.” The videos are usually in stop motion or have different sound clips and pictures put together. Penna is not just a maestro on the guitar, but also on an assortment of instruments and ob-jects he manipulates from cups on a table to the dreaded vuvuzela.
A majority of his videos are less than three minutes long and each one unique in its style. “MysteryGuitarMan” blows me away with not just his musical skills but also his knack for video editing. “Mys-teryGuitarMan” is rarely seen without his sunglasses.
Because of the notoriety he gained on YouTube, McDonald’s and Coke hired
him to make commercials for them.He always ends the videos with a
friendly preview of the next project or links to other channels.
A few of my favorite videos are “Guitar:Impossible,” “Magical Instru-ments” and “The Human Drum Ma-chine.” I recommend this channel to the bored YouTuber looking for something worthwhile, new and creative. Through his channel it may even lead you to some-thing that you will like more.
Speed eating, speed dating, now speed comedy
The YouTube Group “5secondfi lms,” with videos all fi ve seconds long as the name implies, is one of the most literal channels I’ve came across. Each video tells a story, usually ridiculous, clever or insane, with enough info to get the point across in fi ve seconds. I found it a prime example of getting a “quick laugh.”
The channel has an assortment of sub-jects that astound me. I envy the creative minds behind some of the fi lms. But some of the subjects can be risqué and very odd.
I laughed at a lot of these videos but not all of them because some of the sub-jects were too obscure, not funny or just plain stupid.
“5secondfi lms” has gained enough notice to be seen on G4’s “Attack of the Show” and Comedy Central’s “Tosh.0.”
The fi lm group can be also found in vari-ous groups and sites such as Facebook, Vimeo and Funny or Die. To fi nd the best source of their works, just visit their web site 5secondfi lms.com.
I defi nitely recommend this channel to anyone. With the short time span and great chance for a giggle in the videos, just like eating potato chips, you won’t just stop at one.

•AgentXPQ: With his art, this cartoonist celebrates the aver-age person’s life and thoughts by telling about his own life and memories. He adds a human touch through an inhuman Inter-net. He achieved enough recognition to appear on HBO and in newspapers.
•PESfi lms: As some know, stop motion can be a pain. But let this master do his work and be shocked by what can be achieved by taking one picture at a time, for hours, for days. He achieved enough recognition to make commercials for mul-tiple companies but is best known for the Krome Vodka ads.
•NeilCicierega: This quixotic musician spews creativeness from every pore on his body. The song “Ultimate Showdown” and “Harry Potter Puppet Pals” are just the tip of the iceberg. He has appeared on news shows and has a “Ultimate Show-down” downloadable song on Rockband.

sports round-upround-up
Work hard, play hard, NO REGRETS.This was the motto of the varsity soft-
ball team this season. Last season the team fi nished 10-10,
placing fourth in the region, and just made it into the post-season.
But this season was unlike any other season the softball team has ever had. They fi nished 19-7, placed second in the region, and went to the fi rst round of the Lower States playoffs. They also made school history by winning the district championship.
Caitlyn Hummel, junior, said there are several reasons for the improvement.
“This year we all got along better,” she said. “It’s like we had that mesh-factor working. We all had a common goal. We wanted to win and be out there.”
And that mesh-factor wasn’t the only thing working for the Panthers.
“We were fi ghters and we refused to give up no matter if we were winning by a lot or were down,” Hummel said.
Head coach Sarah Minchew noticed the change from last year’s team to this year’s as well.
“They were all more experienced,” she said. “Some of them have been playing together for a couple of years or more so they knew what to expect from each other. They’re still young, but they never gave up regardless of what was on the score board.”
Perhaps the team’s rituals helped them become a unit.
“This year after practice we would all go get something to eat sometimes,” sophomore captain Angelina Santoro said. “It allowed each of us to bond and get to know each other better. We built better relationships.”
But that wasn’t the only thing. For as long as Hummel has played here the be-fore game ritual has always been the same: warm-up, hit and then take infi eld and 10 minutes before the game they would go behind the dugout into a circle, everyone would holds hands and they would say the Lord’s Prayer.
Then the team said their team chant.
But Coach Minchew started a new tra-dition this year to go along with the old one.
“Before we take the fi eld, she [Coach Minchew] reads us a quote and then we say: “Work hard, play hard, NO RE-GRETS,” Hummel said.
“I really think the team took that last chant to heart,” she said, “and as a team we decided we were going to commit to that quote and use it to motivate us.”
Coach Minchew also saw a difference in the team chemistry.
“The [teams] relationship was won-derful, a great change from last year,” she said. “Everybody’s role is just as impor-tant as someone else’s. They’re a good group. You don’t fi nd that very often, even though I still have a headache from them singing on the bus.”
With losing only two seniors, the team has high expectations for next year.
“Next year we’re looking to take it all,” Hummel said. “We’re returning 13 of the 15 people on the roster. Everyone in the state, including our coaches and us, are looking for us to go all the way.”

Panther baseball turns over new leaf
After making it through the fi rst two rounds of district playoffs last year and ending 14-12, the varsity baseball team set high goals for this season, but with an 11-11 record May 3, the outcome of the season wasn’t promising.
However, they turned it around with an 11-4 run after spring break, an 18-14 season record and a district champion-ship.
Starting this season with more fi rst time players on the varsity level made this team unique in itself. Both players and coaches were not so sure about how the season would end. The loss of seven experienced seniors could be a contribut-ing factor to their rough start as well.
“Well, I don’t think anybody expect-ed us to be where we were at that point [May 5]. We knew we had the talent to do it and were playing to our full poten-tial,” junior Erich Knab said.
There was a turning point, and accord-ing to Coach Jack Jolly, the team turned over a new leaf during spring break. Ju-nior Robert Gray agreed.
“In the Mingo Bay tournament we started hitting much better and turned around the season from there,” Gray said.
Jolly said various reasons contributed to the team’s later success.
“The main thing is that we started hitting the ball and it built confi dence
leading to a better team chemistry,” Jolly said. “The team started to come together and the players started putting the team fi rst.”
District playoff games started April 28. After defeating White Knoll, Irmo, Stratford, Wando and South Aiken, the team was named district champs. The victory over Stratford was close with a score of 7-6 and 6-1. In both games, the Panthers were three outs away from elimination but refused to lose.
“We had one of the best pitching staffs in the state with three guys we could count on to go out there and get the job done, and our hitting started to come through for us,” Knab said.
Then the team moved on to the fi rst round of the lower state playoffs, but suf-fered a loss to Sumter 5-0.
“We may not be the best team, but we were playing the best baseball at the right time; and when the team plays together and well at the right time, anything can happen and that happened this year,” Jolly said. “It was a great ride during the play-offs, and I am proud of the team for the way they played.”

The Show Choir visited New York City April 29- May 1 to compete in the New York City Big Apple Choral Classic.
They received fi rst place for Concert Choir, fi rst place for Show Choir and were the “Big Apple Choral Classic” grand champions. Junior Casey Berry received the best soloist award.
While in New York, they saw two Broadway musi-cals, “Wonderland” and “Memphis.” They also attend-ed a 90 minute workshop with the cast of “Memphis” and had dinner with them, making this experience very personal, choral director, Kraig McBroom said.
“Working with the ‘Memphis’ cast was amazing,” McBroom said. “We performed a number from their show in our competition set. It was a great interaction between us and the cast members.”
Many show choir members hope to move to New York to pursue a career in the Broadway musical indus-try. Rosa Rea still keeps in touch with the cast members from “Memphis.”
