Lyon will be fielding its first varsity soccer team next fall. A women’s team will be added in fall 2003.

Bishop has been serving the past year as head women’s soccer coach and assistant men’s soccer coach at Barton County Community College in Great Bend, Kansas. Before that, he was assistant coach for the men’s and women’s soccer teams at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. During this time he also served as head soccer coach at Central Arkansas Christian High School in Little Rock.

He also was a graduate assistant in soccer and in the Department of Kinesiology at UCA, where he received his master’s degree in kinesiology in 2000. He received his bachelor’s degree at Harding University in 1997. At Harding, he played varsity football and was on the club soccer team.

He also was active off the playing fields at Harding, making the Dean’s List and serving as vice president and president of Kappa Sigma Kappa. He spent a semester studying abroad in Florence, Italy.

The challenge of building a new soccer program appeals to Bishop. “I’m excited about the opportunity to help start this program,” Bishop said. As the coach of a new program, he can build from the ground up, he said, from recruiting his own players to equipping the team and helping prepare the field. “This is the perfect time to add a soccer program at Lyon,” Bishop said, because of the growing popularity of soccer in Arkansas and across the country.

Bishop’s first order of business: recruiting. He is hoping for a squad of from 18 to 22 players next fall. Initially, he will focus on recruiting students from Arkansas high schools with strong soccer programs, including Little Rock, Jonesboro and Fayetteville, as well as those in north Arkansas.

The high school soccer season is just starting, so Bishop will be visiting these schools’ games as well as club soccer tournaments in the region.

Scholarships and other financial aid will be available for student athletes who are recruited for the soccer teams.

There are eight other soccer teams in the TranSouth Conference and Bishop hopes to schedule eight nonconference games for a total of 16 next fall. The college soccer season begins in late August and concludes with the conference tournament in Nov-ember.

Bishop also will serve as an assistant coach to the women’s soccer team when it takes the field in the fall of 2003. Garner said he hopes to have a head coach for the women’s team hired by next fall.

Selections performed

Students will present their Irene Ryan acting scholarship scenes at 12:15 p.m. Monday, February 25, in Holloway Theatre before leaving to compete in the regional festival. Kristy Barrington will be partnered with Zac Cunningham, Mario Kurtic will be partnered with Ellie Sims, and Megan Osborn will be partnered with Sara Bork. Each scene is limited to five minutes.

The paper, “The Corporate Form and Corporate Responsibility in the Inter-national Context,” suggests that the concept of international corporate social responsibility is a function of competing values and objectives at the individual, corporate, and institutional level. The paper questions the long-term efficacy of the free-market autocracy of the multinational/global corporate form in the context of either western style liberal democracy or other more communal/tribal forms of society. The paper, one of approximately 25 accepted for presentation from worldwide submissions, will be presented at the International Corporate Responsibility conference sponsored by the Carnegie Bosch Institute for Applied Studies in International Management.

The Berry College Vikings blew a 10-point lead with a minute to go as the Scots gained a 71-70 homecoming victory Saturday at Becknell Gymnasium.

Brandon Byrd led the Scots with 15 points. Billy Linson and Chris Wilkinson had 12 apiece and Wilkinson had nine rebounds.

Lyon is 11-13 and 4-6 in the conference. They still have a shot at fourth place and a home game in the first round of the TranSouth Conference Tournament. They hosted Freed-Hardeman last night (Thursday) and will wrap up the regular season at 4 p.m. Saturday at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee.

The Pipers defeated Berry College’s Lady Vikings 61-57 Saturday at homecoming in Becknell.

Pennie Hill scored 20 points and had three steals for the Pipers. Freshman Carrie Stewart had 15 points, seven rebounds and three steals.

Lyon is 11-16 and 3-9. They were to play Freed-Hardeman last night in Becknell, then will travel to Tennessee to take on Union University for the final regular season game.

Baseball

The Scots won three of four games in doubleheaders Friday and Saturday against Hillsdale Baptist College in Oklahoma City.

The Scots took Friday’s games 17-12 and 5-0. Phillip May won the first game, pushing his record to 3-0. Adam Westmoreland had three hits and four RBI. Adam Gatewood had a home run.

Louie Raptopoulos pitch-ed a complete game shutout in the second game. Jason Livernois had two hits and two RBI.

Hillsdale edged the Scots 10-9 in the first game Saturday. Jason Livernois had three hits and four RBI, including a home run. Jason Causey also had a home run.

Lyon won the second Saturday game 4-3 with pitcher Trevor Lay (1-1) going the distance. Adam Davis had two hits and two RBI for the Scots.

The Scots are 7-5 going into the Lyon College Classic this weekend. Lyon is scheduled to play Blackburn at 2 p.m. Friday (today) on the Lyon field.
