p, Wednesday, November 14,1984/THE BLUE BANNER/9 LISA DAVIS PASSES the ball In Monday's game. Lady Bulldogs open season with win By Joan Sterk The champion Lady Bull dogs basketball team o- pened the season with an 83-70 victory over Mil ligan College ^fonday in Justice Ujnn. The Bulldogs peppered the Lady Buffalos with fast breaks, offensive rebounds, quick passes, reverse lay-ups, and a strong defense. Offensively, the high scorer for the Bulldogs was Kim Duncan with 17 points. Trish Wyatt, Lisa ^fyers and Kim Keith each added 11 points. UNCA led at half time, 47-31. The Bulldogs hit 60 percent from the floor ccmpared to the Buffalo's 40 percent. This higher percentage gave the Bulldogs leads as high as 24 points. The lead allowed new comers to the team to put their practice to use. Freshmen Kim Keith and Xabbie Welch played for much of the game. Keith finished with 11 points, Welch with 10 points. Head Coach Ellen Evans played every member of the team except Kim Groendal. Groendal, a 6*1*' transfer from Mona- tee Junior College in Florida, is taking a break from the recently completed volleyball sea son. 'fhe team showed flash backs of last year’s championship season. Re turning starters Wyatt and Duncan were leaders on the court. During the second half, the Bulldogs worked the ball into Duncan and Keith in the bottom of the keys, running through the Buffalo's defense. Defensively, the Bull dogs played an aggressive game, stealing passes and fighting for rebounds. Myers landed nine re bounds and stole the ball three times. The next home ganwa for the Lady Bulldogs is Nov. 19. This will be a dou ble-header with the women playing Furman at 6 p.m. and the men playing Pem broke State at 7:30 p.m. The final frontier By Dale McElrath Guest Columnist Football...the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Tarheels. Its five-year mission, to seek out blue chip recruits; to boldly search for a national championship.... They might as well be voyaging space, because they certainly aren't playing football. Carolina's dismal show ing against such perenni al powerhouses (to be read with extreme sar casm) as Navy and Wake Forest show once again that ■ UNC has definite probl^ns. The biggest is named Crum. Those of you who've had fresliman ccanp know any essay should have a the sis statement. And this column is no different. My thesis; Carolina coach Dick ‘Crum should be fired. Point one; He has the leading rusher in the Atlantic Coast Confer ence, Ethan Horton. That's all well and good, but in Crum's totally fi nite wisdom, he benched Horton "to get new blood into the offense." This doesn't really make sense. If you want to spark your offense, you don't bench your best player. What he should do is stop running Horton straight up the middle every play, and try to get some originality into his game plan. Point two: Crum is a math teacher. And he looks like a math teach er. That's just fine if you're teaching math. But if you're a football coach, it's difficult to get the team "up" for the game. 1 can just hear the pre-game pep talk now. Crum: "Alright guys, I want you to remember to always fight hard out there. And now before we begin, let's have a short algebra lesson...Ax - By equals.... Football coaches should be big, rough-housing kinds of guys. If Crum looked like John Madden Carolina would have v»n a national championship or two by now. Conclusion; Sure, I guess you could say Crum has had lots of bad luck. I mean, he did lose Rod Elkins and two-time USFL player of the year Kelvin Bryant to injuries a cou ple of years ago. So you could sort of forgive him. But c'mon, we all know you could probably take some Vietnamese boat- person, make him coach of the 'Heels, and still do at least as well as Crum has. All in all, I'd prefer the boat-person. All-stars defeat Bulldogs BvJoanSterk i- i-i By Joan Sterk UNCA men's basketball team took on the Palmetto All-Stars, a semi-profes sional basketball team from Columbia, S.C., Thursday in Justice Gym. The All-Stars defeated the Bulldogs by a score of 79-35, with former UNCA star, Paul Allen, leading the way for the All-Stars with 15 points. The Bulldogs' leading scorer was Jeff Jones, a junior transfer from Bre vard Junior College. Jones had 17 points, seven rebounds, and three steals. The Bulldogs kept pace with the Palmetto team for most of the first half. With 8:30 remain ing, the Bulldogs were behind 15-12. The All-Stars started hitting their shots, and with three minutes to go before halftime, the score increased to 34-22. The first half ended with the All-Stars ahead, 42-27. The All-Stars, fired up for the second half, took a 20 point lead with eight minutes remaining. They employed fancy of fensive skills, slam dunks and tricky passes. The Bulldogs could not get much to fall through the basket, averaging only 38 percent from the floor and 62 percent from the free throw line. Head Coach Jerry Green scheduled the All-Star game to give the Bulldogs experience against taller teams. He had not antici pated upsetting the semi- professional team, but feels the players gained experience. The Bulldogs will open their regular s^son a- gainst Big South team, Coastal Carolina on Nov. 17, 7:30 p.m. at UNCA. They will face the Uni versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Win- throp College on Nov. 21 in a double-header in tl^ Civic Center. 252-1910 A limited number of tickets for these games are now on sale in the gym from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. weekdays.
