2013 SPRING SPORTS WINNERS
South Point High School held its annual spring sports awards banquet on Thursday, May 30th. Awards were presented for junior varsity and varsity baseball, varsity softball, ladies junior varsity and varsity soccer, men's golf, men's tennis, and men's and women's track. Also, presented were the following major awards: the Jack Huss Scholar Athlete Award, Male and Female Sportsmanship awards, the Jack Lineberger Scholarship award and the Joe Steele Fan Appreciation Award.
The Jack Huss Scholar Athlete Award is presented to a senior who has participated in at least two sports during the past year. The award winner must have the highest academic average of those who qualified. Jack Huss was a longtime resident of Cramerton, and outstanding athlete and coach and a WWII veteran. This is a very appropriate award to be named for Jack Huss because as a coach, he knew the value of athletics in the lives of our youth, and as a teacher and later principal at Cramerton High School, he also knew the importance of academics in the lives of young athletes to prepare them for their future. The winner of the award this year is Ashley Mull. Ashley has been a NCHSAA Scholar Athlete all four years at South Point. She was All Conference in basketball, tennis and soccer and was named MVP of the ladies basketball team at the winter sports banquet. In soccer she was named Best Offensive Player. She will attend Erskine on a basketball scholarship.
Camden Van Pelt was the winner of the Jack Lineberger Scholarship Award. The Jack Lineberger Scholarship is a $2500 scholarship presented each year to a senior member of the football team. It is given in memory of Jack Lineberger who played football at Belmont High School during 1953-54 and graduated in 1954. He was named to the 1953 All State Football team and played in the Shrine Bowl where he was the runner-up for the MVP award. He went on to play varsity football at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he was the starting guard until an injury ended his career. Camden was All Conference in football and received the Bobby Brown Unsung Hero Award at the fall sports banquet. He will attend Appalachian State University in the fall.
The Male and Female Sportsmanship Award are presented to a senior who has participated in at least 2 sports. Those nominated are then voted on by the coaches. This award expresses much more than physical achievement. It exemplifies and embodies the actions and attitudes of the recipient. To be chosen for this award, the student-athlete has to exhibit the qualities of fairness, courtesy and grace - in winning and in defeat - on and off the field. The recipient must be a person of integrity. To win this award you have to stand apart from the crowd. You have to lead others by your attitude, your hard work and your example. You cannot be like everyone else. You have to realize that, as someone wisely put it, "a man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd."
The winner of the Female Sportsmanship Award is Lindsey Lee. She participated in softball and volleyball. In volleyball she was selected for the All Conference team. In softball she received the Heart n' Hustle Award. She has been an NCHSAA Scholar Athlete all 4 years in high school. She will attend UNCC in the fall.
The winner of the Male Sportsmanship Award is Devan Robbins. Devan participated in football and track. He was All Conference in football and track. In football he was the Channel 9 Big 22 winner and South Point was awarded a $10,000 scholarship. He is the Big South Conference champion in the 100 and 200 meter dash. He is the Western Regional champion in the 100 and 200 meter dash and the finished 3rd in the 100 meter dash and 4th in the 200 meter dash at the 3A state meet. He was the Track MVP for South Point. He will attend The Citadel on a football scholarship.
The Joe Steele Fan Appreciation Award is given by the South Point Booster Club to a volunteer who goes beyond expectation in support of South Point Athletics. The winner this year is David and Donna Moody.
