•If February 17, 1983 The Voice Page 11 SPORTS Rules May Affect Cl A A Teams By Marion Crowe Misinterpretation of a NCAA rule concerning transfer students may affect some Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association basketball teams this year. The rule states that a team with transfer students must allow those students to sit out one calendar year before becoming eligible for competition. This rule affects the ClAA since the league has two automatic berths for the men's basketball this year in the NCAA Division II tournament. Presently, the CIAA policy is that a transfer student must sit out one semester to be eligible for regular season play. According to Jake Ford, no Bronco players are affected by the rule. Coach Mary Lamb also stated that the Lady Broncos are not affected by the ruling. Broncos Third In Tournament By Marion Crowe Playing their first game after the Christmas holidays and after three days of preparation, the Broncos traveled to Norfolk, Virginia and took on Norfolk State College December 28, 1982 in the opening game of the Tidewater Area Business and Contractors Association Basketball Tournament and dropped a 85-78 contest to the Spartans. Leading scorers for the Broncos were Dino Russell, playing in his first game since coming off the injury list, and Marvin Hardy with 18 points each. Also scoring in double figures were William Person with 12 points and Belvon Cowling and Doug Singleton with 11 points each. In the consolation game December 29, !982, Dino Russell poured in 25 points as the Broncos drowned Saint Paul's College 95-83 to capture third place in the Tidewater Area Business and Contractors Association Basketball Tournament. William “Tree” Person added 24 points to help the Broncos edge the Tigers of Saint Paul. The only other Bronco to score in double figures was Doug Singleton. Hardy Paces Broncos To Victory By Marion Crowe William “Tree” Person scored 22 points but his effort was not enough as the Broncos dropped a 95-86 contest to the Shaw University Bears, Thursday, January !3. The Broncos held a 72-63 lead with 10:20 in the game but the Bears scored ten straight points behind the shooting of guard Victor Blakey and took the lead 73-72. Blakey finished the game with 28 points. Contributing to the Broncos effort was Marvin Hardy with !9 points, Curtis Jefferson with !! points and Doug Singleton with 13. The loss dropped the Broncos to 3-8 for the season and 0-3 in CIAA action. NCCU 85 - Broncos 79 The Broncos lost their second game of the week 85-79 but not before they gave the Eagles from North Carolina Central all they could handle. The Broncos played outstanding basketball but lost the game at the foul line. The Eagles took a 10-2 lead in the opening minute;^ of the game but baskets by John Sylverster, Curtis Jefferson and William Person put the Broncos back in the game.

Leading scorers for FSU were Marvin Hardy with 25 points, and William Person with 20 points. The Broncos are currently 3-9 for the season and 0-4 in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Southern Division. VA Union 108 - Broncos 78 The Broncos returned to action on January 18 and found everything was against them as Virginia Union Panthers ripped the nets for a 108-78 win.

Leading scorer for the Broncos, whose record dropped to 3-10 for the season and 0-5 in conference play, was Marvin Hardy with 20 points.

The Broncos got help from William Person with 19 points and Doug Singleton and Curtis Jefferson with 11 and 10 points respectively.

By Manuel Blaclinion The Broncos' '83 football season is underway. That's right! For the Broncos, the season starts now! Currently, members of the football team are participating in a weight program that will help them develop strength and agility in their bodies. Although the athletic department doesn't have all the modern machines and apparatures found at most schools, these dedicated athletes are taking their training in earnest. Quincey Dickens, a native of Pinetop, North Carolina, who started as a defensive lineman last season stated, “The program (weight) is developing into a very constructive tool for the team. Presently, we are lifting weights every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for approximately 45 minutes and it will be some time before every member of the team develop as much as the coaches would like.” Charles Lovelace, a Fayetteville native, also noted that the team is working very hard to get in shape. “Just about everyone who is planning to play football this fall is on the weight program,” he added. When the players were asked who they thought had made the most progress since starting on the weight program, they replied it was Kenneth “Sloppy” Bailey who bench presses 405 pounds. Assisting the players with advice and recommendation for their weight development program are Coach Anderson Powell and George Williams. After spring break, the team will head for the football field for approximately twenty days. During this period, the training will be oriented toward developing fundamental skills and learning new plays. Tyrone Kelley, co captain for the '83 Broncos, stated that spring practice is simply a learning process for the new players and a femiliarization process for the old players. The Broncos are working hard toward a successful season in 1983. Olympics Insured Campus Digest News Service ABC-TV can now rest easy.
