AC Cagers Lose At
L-R, Appalachian
Atlantic Christian’s Bulldog cagers
captured two close decisions in
games played since the last edition
of the Colegiate and one of the vic
tories was over arch-rival East
Carolina in a game played in Green
ville.
In the victory over the Pirates
of Coach Wendell Carr, the Bull
dogs played their finest game of the
year in defeating the Pirates for
the first time in four years. Alton
Hill led the Bulldog quint with 21
points but more importantly, also
captured 15 rebounds to lead both
teams in this department. The
high scorer for the Bulldogs was
Bill Fugate, who pumped 27 points
through the nets to increase his
already impressive average of 19.8
PPG.
In the opening minutes of the
game, both teams played the worst
kind of basketball imagineable and
as a result, only 5 points were
scored by both teams in the first
6 minutes of play. Both squads
were guilty of bad passes, traveling
and other violations which cost them
ball possession. However, both crews
then began to get untracked and
played a fine half of basketball and
went to the intermission with the
score tied at 42 all, each team hav
ing led by as much as five points
only to see their opponents whittle
away at the lead and eventually go
ahead. 0
After the rest period, EC came
out and began to slowly build a lead
that reached 9 points with about
12 minutes remaining in the game.
But the Bulldogs were not to be de
nied and fought back to within one
at 69-68 with 9:40 showing on the
clock when Jerry Ashworth hit a
jump shot. They then went ahead
on a follow shot by Hill with 9:04
left on the clock and continued to
build their lead until it teached 10
points at 87-77 with 58 seconds left
on the clock but EC managed to
score 6 more points while holding
the Bulldogs scoreless to make
the final margin only 4 pomts at 89-
85.
The contest saw some of the finest
shooting anyone could ask for as
the Bulldogs shot a torrid 52 per
cent from the floor and 65 per cent
from the charity line. The Pirates
hit 50 per cent from the floor and
60 per cent from the gratis line.
Jerry Ashworth led the Bulldogs
from the floor as he hit 5 for 5 and
also was successful on his only two
attempts from the foul stripe.
Bill Otte was the big gun for EC
as he poured in 30 points to lead
both teams in the scoring column,
Bobby Kinnard was second high for
EC with 18 markers.
Against Guilford, freshman Elmer
Hobbs came through with his fin
est performance of the year as he
scored 12 points and pulled off
13 rebounds to lead the Bulldogs
fo a 67-64 victory. He also received
plenty of help in the scoring de
partment as Bill Fugate hit for 23
points to lead all scorers in the
game.
After having the score tied at
^all after one minute of play, the
Bulldogs continued to slowly add to
^eir lead until they went into the
oressing room at the half with an
eight point lead at 39-31. It was

They hit two more field goals than
the AC boys and both teams hit
20 shots from the charity stripe.
Fugat was again the hihg point
man for AC as he tallied 19 before
fouling out with three minutes left
in the game. Gary John;on, who
was saddled with four personals
for most of the second half, added
16 points and Alton Hill contrib
uted 12 before he also fouled out.
Against Appalachian, The Bulldogs
were down by 6 at the halftime
Coach Jack McComas took his
Bulldogs on the road last weekend
for games at Lenoir-Rhyne and Ap
palachian State and dropped both
contests by narrow margins. The
Bulldogs fell before the Lenoir-
Rhyne Bears by 72-68 and drop
ped an overtime thriller to Appa
lachian by 97-90.
In the L-R game, the Bulldogs
went to the half-time break with
a nine point lead at 39-30 but saw
that lead disappear quickly in the
second half as they lost three men
a slow process and a tenacious Guil
ford five that refused to be shaken
played a very disciplined game
and had Alton Hill in foul trouble
late in the first half and this proved
to be one of the reasons AC could
never build a substantial lead.
After the intermission, the Quak
ers of Jerry Steele started a slow
comeback which cut the AC lead
to only two points at 62^60 with
three minutes left in the game.
Gary Johnson, AC’s fine guard, had
been forced to leave the game
with about six minutes remaining af
ter he injured an ankle and he was
replaced by Bill Tice, normally a
forward. Tice performed well and
aided Jerry Ashworth in controlling
the ball in the closing minute of
play and the game was actually put
on ice when Hobbs grabbed a re
bound after Ashworth missed a foul
shot with less than a minute to
play and stuffed it back to put AC
ahead by five at 67-62. Guilford then
scored a quick bucket and Ash
worth and Tice controlled the ball
for the remaining 22 seconds.
on fouls and had a fourth playing
with four personals. The foul situa
tion and errors of commission and
ommsision played the major role
in the downfall of the Bulldogs. The
Fugate was again the high point
in the number of shots attempted
as the Bears shot 80 times from the
floor to only 58 for the Bulldogs.
