Pounds, a mem ber of the Montreat-An derson College Men's Basketball Team is from Danville, Virginia. Though Pounds makes the game of basketball seem quite easy, with his average scoring of 17 points per game, Greg does state that much hard work and practice is involved. In addition to being athletically inclined, he has also maintained a very respectable G.P.A. in academics. His aver age is a 2.6, which is above the minimum 2.0 required to participate in basketball. Greg plans to graduate in May with the A.S. degree. After graduation he hopes to attend University of Virginia. Greg is plan ning to major in com munications and hope fully, after a career as a pro player, he hopes to go into television broad casting. Greg stated, "I am glad I came to M-AC, as it has made a change in my life. You have to study here. At a big school there would be a lot of distractions." When asked about his favorite part of the game. Pounds replied "Basket ball makes me feel like I am free because on the court I can do whatever I want to do." Even though he has certainly proved himself on and off the court, Greg states he has but terflies in his stomach before every game but the adrenalin starts flow ing and he wants to go the extra mile. When Greg explodes on the court everyone Gets pumped up. Greg is definitely on top. Con cerning losing, well that doesn't often happen to Greg but if it does, he handles it and usually bounces back to win. -New York Giants- 1991 Super Bowl
