April 28, 1983 The Voice Page 11 SPOR TS Broncoettes Wrap-Up By Marion Crowe By the time this article reaches the press and is published by The Voice, the Broncoettes' basketball season will be completed. While the team did not produce a 20 game season, as in past years, Coach Mary “Honey” Lamb and her Lady Broncos improved in ntany other areas. Coach Mary “Honey” Lamb, a season worth remen)bering. (Photo by John Henderson) Coach Lamb took over a team that had only three returning seniors, only two of them were starters. The other three starters were freshman. Marred by early season mistakes, the team got to a slow start by losing to UNC- Wilmington and East Carolina. After losing three games, the Broncoettes rolled to six straight wins before falling to Virginia Union. The Broncoettes have had their troubles in past years against the top-flight Northern Division foes, but lack of experience was the fact that caused them to be outmuscled this year. Gone was the discipline and academic problems that plagued the Lady Broncos in past seasons. Coach Lamb's philosophy for a well-developed winning program is discipline. She and her assistants, Carolyn Rice and Ronald Vaughn, let the players know when practice first started who was in charge and the team responded to their leadership. For the second consecutive year, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Player-of-the-Year was a Broncoette. All-most everything in the eyes of the Lady Broncos' fans, Concetha (called C.C. by her friends and teammates) was the leagues top scorer with 626 points for an average of 27.2 points per game, third in the nation. A small guard, Concetha played every position except center. She highlighted her career with a 41 point performance against Elizabeth City. It was her second 40-point performance of the year. During the last week of January, “C.C.” played in four games and scored 124 points, dished out 24 assists and stole the ball eighteen times. Concetha also finished the season fourth in field goal percentage with a .515 and fifth in free throw percentage with .678. The Broncoettes won the CIAA's Southern Division championship for the third straight year. They completed their season 11 -3 in conference play and 14-9 overall; records any major college team in the nation could be proud of. The team average 80.6 points per game, third in the ClAA, had a field goal percentage of .461, first in the conference; first in free throw with a .609 percentage and seventh in team rebounding with an average of 49.1 rebounds per game. Sheryl Drayton, 5'7", 152 lb. senior from Charleston. South Carolina, was tenth in the conference with 318 points for an average of 13.8 points per game. In addition, she was eight in free throws with a .646 percentage and second in the conference in rebounding with 269 fora 11.7 grab per game. Sheryl Drayton, the CIAA second leading rebounder.

This they were. The Broncoettes brought more excitment to the fans than ever before. In past years, the Broncoettes were known for their offense, but this year defense was added. There is no question that the Lady Broncos will be the team to beat next year. The Broncoettes have eight returning freshmen, three sophomores, one junior, and a promising group of newcomers. Foremost among the group of returning freshmen are Joyce Vaughn and Annetta Faulcon, who average 11.7 and 6.6 points per game respectively. Devette McGhee, a 6', 140 lb. forward can be counted on to supply the Lady Broncos with a scoring punch. As long as the Broncoettes keep their winning attitude, they are going to reach their goal. The real worth of the Lady Broncos is Coach Mary Lamb. She realizes the duty as a coach. A team is as good as those who attempt to develop raw material into a winning combination. Coach Lamb has made her existence known. Broncoette Of The Month By Marion Crowe Annetta Faulcon is an 18 year old, 5' 10" freshman from Littleton, North Carolina and insists she is going to play on Fayetteville State University's first CIAA championship team. If her performance to date is any indicaiton, she just might make it. In the 22 games she has played in for the Lady Broncos, Annetta has scored 128 points for an average of 5.8 points per game. “My greatest contribution to the team is my rebounding,” Annetta says, “especially on the offensive boards.” Annetta has racked up 121 rebounds, an average of 5.5 pergame. “I need to be more aggressive on defense,” added the attractive business major. According to her coach Mary “Honey” Lamb, “Annetta has the capability to becotne an outstanding defensive player. With a little more experience, she will be hard to beat underneath the boards.” Annetta is far from being the stereotypical “husky femal athlete. ” She has a very pleasing smile and a very feminine stature. In addition, she is maintaining a 2.5 Grade Point Average and enjoys dancing and tennis, hobbies she indulges in whenever she can steal a quiet moment to herself. It is no surprise that .Annetta is a starter for the Lady Broncos. While attending Northwest Halifax High School, she was selected to the Roanoke Rivers All Conference Team for two years, named the leagues Most Valuable Player, selected to the All Regional Team in her senior year and received honorable mention to the All East Team in her senior year. When asked who was her favorite guy, Annetta stated there is no plans for heavy dating in her immediate future. “1 want to be independent for a while,” she Annetta Faulcon, Broncoette of the Month (Photo by Rosemary Byrd) says. “I want to be a single lady with a future.” Her immediate future is concerned with basketball and getting a degree in business administration. Annetta loves to play basketball and will continue to play basketball as long as it is fun. In response to criticism that athletes at Fayetteville State are spoiled and get away with too much, she stated as a freshman it would be hard for her to make a valid comment on the subject. “Coach Lamb stresses getting an education,” she added. “If we can't understand our daily assignments, there is not way we can learn our basketball plays. Both go hand-in-hand." Annetta feels the Lady Broncos are a close-knitted family and this closeness is what gives the team its strong points. Like every member of the team. Annetta has established an incredible goal: to try and win that allusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in Norfolk. “All the acclaims,” replied the sister of Lanetta Faulcon and a freshman at Fayetteville State University also, “that I received in the past and those I may receive in the future, I owe to my parents and appreciate the guidance they gave me.” Smith Named To All Conference By Marion Crowe The Broncoettes concluded their 1982-83 season with Concetha (C.C.) Smith being named to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association All Conference team. The All Conference Women's team was selected by a poll of CIAA coaches.

Earlier, Smith was selected the CIAA Player-of-the-Year. Smith is also the nations third leading scorer with an average of 27.2 points per game.
