www.whirlies.com 11 Grimsley Sports . . . Going Strong!

Reflecting on the 2007 fall and winter seasons, the Whirlies continued strong play in the conference and at the state level. The Women’s Swim team finished 4-1, placed second in the conference and seventh at the regionals. The Men’s Swim team finished the season undefeated at 5-0, placed first in the conference, fourth at the regionals and sixth at the state level. Myles Oliver won first place in the 50 free style at the state meet and Myles, Adam Nussbaum, William Ruhm and James Genry placed first in the 200 free relay.

At press time, our Women’s Basketball team continues to burn up the nets with an undefeated record (a first for Grimsley basketball) and Little 4 Tournament Championship. Following last year’s record setting 30-2 record and a state runner-up finish, Phil Weaver has his team primed for a run again. This is, without a doubt, the best Women’s basketball team in the rich history of Grimsley High School. We have four Division I signees on this team - Trumae Lucas, a first team all-state player (Florida), Nicole Hargraves (Charlotte), Jasmine Alston (Wilmington) and Krystin Fields (Towson St.). Our Men’s basketball team also placed first in the regular season league and has advanced to the conference tournament.

The Whirlies soccer program under Coach Matt Martineau returned to dominance in the Metro Conference and went through the state playoffs to finish as 4A runner-up. Excitement was in the air about football with new coach Mark Saunders. The Whirlies had their third consecutive outstanding season posting an 11-2 record. Our volleyball, tennis and golf teams also capped off great seasons by advancing to the state playoffs.

We should all be proud of our student-athletes. The amount of time they spend between academics and athletics is amazing, and many have jobs or other activities that require their attention, too. They represent their teams and our school with class. We look forward to telling you of our spring ’08 season and yearly award winners in our next newsletter.

Thanks for your support of our Alumni Association and of Greensboro Grimsley Senior High.

www.whirlies.com 13 Reflections on GHS, June 2007 by Roxanne Neumann ‘07 (now a freshman at the University of at Chapel Hill)

How do I put into words what my time at Grimsley Senior High School has meant to me and how it has helped me to become who I am today? My time in high school revolved around athletics. As a three-year member of the varsity volleyball team and a four-year member of the varsity women’s basketball team, including three years as captain, I learned almost as much on the court as I did in the classroom. Although excited about what my future holds at Carolina, I’m taking with me memories and friendships from Grimsley that are sure to last a lifetime.

After an extremely rough and interesting freshman year on the basketball team … when the team pulled-off a total of just seven wins … I leave Grimsley now with a basketball family that has accomplished feats that had never before been done at Grimsley. After a disappointing loss in 2006 to High Point Central in the second round of the state play-offs, our team entered the 2006-2007 season with the goal of a state-championship title. We finished the regular season with a record of 23-1, our only loss to Page in a non-conference game in overtime on a last-second shot. We were back-to-back undefeated champions of the Metro-4A Conference and two-time conference-tournament champions. The team was on a roll going into the 2007 state play-offs with our goal in sight. We cruised through the first games at home, won two big games in Winston-Salem, and were on our way to the state-championship game to be played in Chapel Hill. Grimsley had never had a women’s basketball team make it that far in the play-offs nor post such an impressive record at that point as ours at 30-1. Although we suffered a heart-breaking loss in the finals, I can think of no better way to end my basketball career than in the gym of my future school and with the people I love most in this world.

Together for three years, my teammates became my family. There was never a dull moment when we were together, whether it was on the court, in the classroom, at pre- game meals at my house or at restaurants, to team sleep-overs or karaoke at Ham’s. These girls are some of my best friends and have given me more memories than I could ever count.

I am also proud to say that the Class of 2007 came together in a time of need, a few months before graduation. While a class full of little cliques, after the passing of one of our beloved classmates Trae Whittset, our class joined together to help each other through. Having Trae in three of my classes at the time, it was rough to comprehend that he was no longer with us. Making it even rougher was the fact that this was right in the middle of the basketball state play-offs. The day following his death, our team was to play in Winston in the regional semi-finals. Physically and emotionally drained by the end of the day, those of us on the team who were close with Trae were able to pull it together thanks to the support of our teammates and classmates who drove over for the game. Trae would have wanted us to bring it home and I know he was there watching us to make sure that we did.

There is no other high school in the world I would have chosen as the place to live out my high school days. Grimsley will always hold a special place in my heart!
