By EMMA GILES
The Chowan Lady Braves wound up
their regular season with a 74-68 win
over the Spartanburg Lady Trojans,
February 19 at the Helms Center.
Only six niinutes into the half,
Chowan led 11-S and stretched the lead
to 37-26 at halftime. The half was mark
ed by action-packed plays from Anita
Anderson, Vivian Myers, Molly
Hopkins and Phyllis Griffin of the Lady
Braves.
Swift-footed Anderson scored a total
of eight points in the first half. With her
quick handwork, Anderson hauled
down numerous rebounds while halting
action from Gwen Whiteside of the
Lady Trojans.
Myers and Griffin backed up the
defensive line, aided by Denise Jordan,
who hit two 15-foot jumpers from side
court in first half action.
With Jordan's and Anderson’s ex
cellent blocking tatics, the Lady Braves
increased the marginal gap to 54-44 in
the second half. After a timeout for the
Trojans with 14:06 left on the clock,
Griffin burned the cords with basket
after basket.
Griffin 5’H’ forward-center from
Charleston S.C., gained a total of 12
points, packing up two from the foul
line. Griffin upped the Braves score to
61-58 with 4:02 winding down.
Mary Weiss brought the girls up
70-64, clipping five points from the foul
line, after being fouled three times by
Spartanburg’s, Angie McCullough. The
Lady Braves netted their 14th victory of
the season with only four losses.

things as they defeated the Lady Tro

Lady Braves
Lose on Road
By EMMA GILES
The Lady Braves met up with tough
competition recently, battling it out on
the road with the North Greenville

a timeout was called. Coach Gay Scott’s
“guerilla warfare tactics” resulted in
an outstanding team effort and indi
vidual output.
Freshman, Annette Huntley exploded
in the half, scoring five goals and one of
two foul line shots. Another freshman
for the Lady Braves, Phyllis Griffin,
ripped through Bennett’s defense, to up
the score by four points.
Chowan suffered 11 turnovers in the
game, but was successful, however, in
nailing down numerous rebounds,
mainly through the efforts of Carolyn
Kelly, Anita Anderson and E)enise Jor

Kelly blundered slightly throughout
the game, contributing three turnovers,
but nevertheless kept the rim brimm
ing hot in the second half for a total of 16
points. Kelly also made four assists to
boost the Braves score, 67-55, with 7:21

Cooled Off
By JOE McGARRITY
Showing the brilliance that was ex
hibited last year at this time, the
Chowan Braves men’s basketball team
tortured an overrated Newport News
Apprentice team, 88-73, Febuary 3 at
the Helms Center.
The 1980-81 edition of the Chowan
Braves started a roll this time last year
and rolled right along to the Eastern
Tarheel Conference (regular season
and tournament) championship and a
berth in the Region X Tournament.
This year’s edition is moving along
the same lines and more.
The Braves high powered offense was
in the fifth gear,(there is no higher)
while running the Shipbuilders prac
tically all the way back to Newport
News.
“I was surprised at how tough they
(Newport News) weren’t,” stated
Braves Coach Bob Burke.
“I thought they’d be tougher”.
The Shipbuilders found out how tough
the Braves can be when they’re runn
ing.
The Braves heated it up from the
outset, Melvin McCray hit at 18:50 and
the Braves were off and running.
Newport News stayed close until
halftime neared. They missed an easy
layup at 10:38 and Chowan was ahead
at 21-16. They could get no closer the
rest of the night.
The Braves bulged out to an 18-point
lead (43-25) on Kenny Cupel’s layup at
:25. The eventual halftime score being
43-27, after Newport News’ Marty Hare
hit a shot at :03. Three Braves were in
double figures at the half. Freshman
sensation Andre McGee led all halftime
scorers with 13 points.
The second half opened with the Ship
builders making their only run of the
night.
Tommy Shankles’ two free throws
opened the scoring and, after Red
Terry’s bucket, the score was 45-33,
Braves. This hoopla didn't last long as
the Braves shifted gears once more.
The Braves' Tracy Myles went to
Work. Playing spectacularly at both
ends of the floor (coing back door, hit
ting 12-15 footers, and snatching every
thing that came off the boards), Myles
was plain and simple unstoppable.
By 15:54 the score was 51-^ and after
6’ 6”frosh Jeff Evin's three point play
at 11:58, the score stood 60-37. The
Braves biggest lead. After James
Spencer’s layup made it 62-37, Coach
Burke emptied the bench.
The final margin being 15 points
(88-73), a happy Coach Burke praised
his talented freshmen.
“Spencer, McGee, and Myles played
a good game. Myles played his best of
fensive game by far”, praised Burke.
“By tournament time this team will
have that killer instinct that I’ve been
looking for all year”.
Myles led all scorers with 20 points
(10-14 from the field) and eight re
bounds. McGee destroyed the Ship
builders from the charity stripe (foul
line) by canning 15 of 18 and finishing
with 19 points. Capel added 11 points for
the Braves.
Guard Winfred Basnight again tend
ed his allaround skills enough to score
six points, grab seven rebounds, dish
out two assists, and snatch three steals.
Terry led Newport News with 18
points.
Braves Win I
Andrea McGee’s 29 points led
Chowan to a 89-74 victory over Lenoir in
the Eastern Tarheel championship
game Saturday. The Braves now go to
the Region X tournament here
beginning today.
McGee was named most valuable
player, and Winfred Basnight and
Melvin McCray made the All-
Tournament team.

Chowan College’s men’s basketball
team opened the month of February on
a good note with a 57-51 victory over a
patient Louisburg Hurricane team at
the Helms Center.
For the second time this season the
Braves’ defensive ace Winfred Bas
night held Louisburg’s highly touted
freshman guard James Cooke to only
eight points (10 under his average).
Basnight’s hawking defense was one of
the keys in the Braves’ victory. He
scored only 10 points but added four
assists and four steals.
Bas did a super job on Cooke, pro
claimed Braves coach Bob Burke.
“We recruited him (Cooke) out of
high school as hard as we recruited
anyone.”
The Hurricane, who came into the
game with a lowly 9-10 record, started
out with a surprisingly patient offense,
which proved to be very effective.
But the Braves’ tough defense proved
to be a winner. After Cooke hit the
game’s first basket, the Hurricane
didn’t get a shot off in two minutes;
thanks to the Braves tough man-to-man
defense.
Fresh super guard Andre McGee did
the honors on offense for the Braves.
His back-to-back buckets pulled the
Braves within one point and then gave
them the lead for the first time in the
game at 8:45 (11-10). His penetrating
play was spectacular at times, the Hur
ricane defense seeming almost helpless
against him.
“McGee was named player of the
week (Tarheel Conference) today

“The most crucial period for kilowatt
demand is from August 26 through the
first week in September when students
are arriving,” said Hassell. The surge
can be controlled by the system , he ad
ded.
“Now I can come in before school
starts and cool off buildings such as
Parker Hall floor by floor.”
Hassell estimates that this can save
$20,000 to $25,000 a year on kilowatt de
mand. The system itself costs an
average of $160,000.
In the future, the Energy Manage
ment System may be capable of con
trolling time clocks and bells in
classrooms, fire alarms, and outside
lights, Hassell envisioned.
(February 1), and he played super,”
said Burke.
“Since starting, he’s been averaging
22 points a game.”
McGee lead all scorers at the half
with 11 points, and the Braves took a
26-23 halftime lead to the locker room.
The game and the Braves picked up
the pace to start the second half.
Two baskets by Melvin McCray and
one by Basnight made the score 32-23 at
16:40. McGee’s free throw made it a ten
point game (33-23) with Louisburg yet
to score in the half.
Cooke finally broke the ice for the
Hurricanes at 14:58 to make it 33-25,
Braves.
At 13:28, the Hurricanes made a run
at the Braves.
Cooke’s beautiful assist to sub Bryan
Maddox resulted in a 35-29 score as the
Braves called time at 12:12.
But Brian Pendergraft’s 22-footer cut
it to 35-31. The Hurricane could get no
closer than four points the rest of the
night.
The Braves just matched baskets
with the Hurricane until the end.
The Braves led by 11 points (52-41) at
2:22 on Basnight’s two free throws, but
Louisburg never gave up.
McGee’s foul shots at :24 finally
packed it away for the Braves (57-47)
with the final score being 57;5l.
McGee led all scorers with 26 points
while dishing out four assists and snat
ching two steals. McCray scored 12
points and grabbed a whopping 11 re
bounds. 6’8 freshman Tracey Myles
pulled in 10 rebounds as the Braves
dominated the boards.
Maddox was the only Louisburg play
er in double figures, canning 19 points.
We did an excellent job defensively,
probably our best this year, concluded
Burke.
