10 The Dallas Post SPORTS Friday, June 13, 2003 BMT students win sports awards Ebenezer Faith Christian School, Plymouth, announced their 2002-033 Sports’ Awards recipients at their annual sports banquet. In Girls’ Soccer, the best First Year Players from the Back Moun- tain were: senior Caitlin Bessmer, daughter of Edward and Eliza- beth Bessmer, Trucksville, and sixth grader Breanna Covert, granddaughter of Larry and Helen Covert, Shavertown. The recipi- ent of the Sportsmanship Award was fifth grader Darlene Kupstas, Shavertown. In Girls’ Basketball, the Most Improved Player was sixth grader Breanna Covert, granddaughter of Larry and Helen Covert, Shavertown. In Boys’ Basketball, seventh grader Erik Lambacker, son of Harold Lambacher, Warrior Run and was Darlene Kupstas, Shaver- town, was named one of two Most Improved Players. The guest speaker for the banquet was Mr. James Camacho. Mr. Camacho is a missionary to Paraguay under New Tribes Mission and will be returning to South America this summer. Foran (continued from page 9) wrong and about once a week he'd take me out to the range and say, ‘Hit a few balls and we’ll see what's going on.” “ She entered her first tourna- ment when she was 12 and was often the only girl in competi- tions that were admittedly way over her head. When she was 14 she entered the state golf tournament, had the highest handicap and finished dead last. “We put her in competition at an early age,” her father says. “Though it was wrenching at times, she fought through it and found that she thrives on competition.” Although the larger tourna- ments were a bit scary, they did wonders for Emily’s confidence. She still preferred books to peo- ple, but golfing against better, more experienced players forced her to become more as- sertive. It also raised her expec- tations. She played tournaments across the country, run by or- ganizations like the United States Golf Association and the American Junior Golf Associa- tion, which also helped produce Tiger Woods. As a junior on the boys’ team at Wyoming Semi- nary, she shot a 91 and pre- vailed in a one-hole playoff to qualify for the Pennsylvania State High School Champi- onship. It was time to start con- sidering colleges. “Her father contacted me when Emily was a sophomore,” says Amherst coach Michelle Morgan. “I thought, ‘Here’s this great golfer, we have no chance.” ” Excited to finally be on a women’s team Emily flourished almost immediately. In just her second tournament, the Fifth Annual Princeton Fall Invita- tional, Foran fired an opening round 84. She placed 39th indi- vidually and was the top Ambherst finisher against a 20- team field of primarily Division I competitors. She then shot an 85 and finished second at the Williams College Lady Eph In- vitational, and brimmed with confidence at the end of her first fall season. “There was definitely an ad- justment, going from nine-hole after-school matches to 36-hole weekend tournaments,” she says. “It was a lot more intense than high school, but I'd been playing in women’s events since I was 16, so I wasn’t really in- timidated.” That spring, with Foran play- ing perhaps her best golf, the Jeffs placed sixth at the North- east Championships and quali- fied for their second consecu- tive NCAA Division III Champi- onship Tournament, at the Or- chards Golf Club in nearby South Hadley. The local knowledge came in handy. Foran opened with a ca- reer-low 81 under a torrential downpour, and followed that with an 80 on Wednesday and another 81 on Thursday. Sud- denly, the precocious freshman found herself in second place and in the hunt for a national championship on the final day of competition. “I was also dealing with finals at the time,” says Foran. “I had an intro to chemistry and an in- tro to physics exam as soon as I got off the van at school. Dur- ing my matches, if I had a mo- ment, I actually had a sheet in my pack with chemical and physical equations on it that I'd study for my tests. I think it helped me play better. It kept me from focusing too much on consequences.” She shot an 85 in the final round to finish in a four-way tie for fourth place, leading Ambherst to a third-place team finish that Morgan said “was like winning the national cham- pionship.” Among the top fin- ishers, Foran was the only fresh- man. The following week, she was named an Honorable Men- tion All-American by the Na- tional Golf Coaches Associa- tion. She continued making strides as a sophomore. After a somewhat sluggish start to her second fall season, Foran shot a spectacular tournament- and ca- reerlow 77 and won the Williams College Lady Eph In- vitational in a playoff. Breaking 80 on a consistent basis would go a long way to- ward her chances of gaining the national crown, but winning an NCAA title isn’t really her goal. An outstanding student com- mitted to the sciences, Foran re- cently declared neuroscience as her major, and hopes to one day work with degenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons. The heavy course load cuts into her prac- tice time; she often foregoes af- ternoon practices for lab work. Morgan believes Foran can be one of the best players ever to tee it up at Amherst. “She’s al- ready one of the top five or six golfers ever to play here. I think she could be one of the best in New England, could win a Northeast Championship and has the ability to be selected as an individual participant in the NCAA Tournament even if the team isn’t selected.” For the little girl who loved books more than golf, that would be a storybook ending.
