Braves Set Basketball Records Despite Tournament Losses I 'm - By MIKE EARNHARDT The men’s basketball team ac complished several records this year despite poor playing in tournament ac tion. Coach Jerry Smith's Braves were the first Chowan team to win a conference title, to win all its league games (10) and to appear in a district tourney. The team finished with a 20-8 record. The Braves lost, however, both of their tournament games. Lenoir Community College handed the Braves a 87-79 loss in the semi-finals of the Eastern Tar Heel Conference tournament at Louisburg College. “They outplayed us and wanted to win the ball game, and we didn’t play as inspired as we had in the past against them,” Smith said. Chowan was led by sophomore center George Drawhorne who scored 25 points. Two freshmen, guard Robin Hoey and forward William Bogues can ned 18 points each. Avery Dawson, a 6-5 sophomore center, led the Lancers with 27 points. smith attributed the setback to several factors. Among them were Lenoir’s excellent free throw shooting and his club’s failure at the foul line and an abundance of turnovers. Lenoir, the fourth place team, sank 26 of 33 free throws while the Braves managed only five of 16. Smith said, “I really can’t tell you what happened. They had some great guards, took the high percentage shot and got a lot of layups.” “Three people did the scoring for us, but no one else picked up the slack. The others got only two or four points. Usually we get 12 or 14 points from one and eight to ten from another. But we just didn’t get any scoring from the others.” Plagued by cold second half shooting, Chowan was ousted from the Region 10 basketball tournament by North Green ville Junior College 84-69 in the first round. The Braves opened the game sizzling, hitting almost every shot and sinking 10 of 13 foul shots to forge a 42-36 halftime lead. The second half was a complete reversal of the first for Chowan. The Braves hit only 12 or 45 second-half field goal attempts, which Smith said was the deciding factor. North Greenville’s main offensive weapon was its fast break with for wards Terry Strickland and Chuck Orr driving for easy layups. Strickland and Orr led the South Carolina team in scor ing with 32 and 21 points respectively. The Braves were led by Bogues with 19. Alan Porter with 12 and Ron Williams with 10 were the only others m double figures. Smith emptied his bench in the se cond half, trying several different com binations, but to no avail. Their poor shooting and numerous turnovers enabled North Greenville to rally for the win.
