; PAGE 4 - WEST CRAVEN HIGHLIGHTS - FEBRUARY 4,1988 Eagles Hold Off Washington To Notch 52-50 League Win B> M(l KRUCHMAL Sprrial to Ihr Wrcl 4>avrn Washington head coach Dave Smith tossed out a few "what- ifs" Friday night after his Pam Pack cagers fell to Coastal Con ference host West Craven 52-50. The loss snapped a two-game win streak and averted a Pack tri ple-header sweep as the girls triumphed 39-32 and the junior varsity held on for a 68-63 win. "I don’t know if one second would have made a difference." said Smith. The second Smith noted came at the last of the game when Washington had an inbounds opportunity under its basket. Smith felt the clock had not been stopped quickly enough when the Pack gained posses sion. “I thought we had two seconds,” Smith said. With just one tick showing, Washington attempted an in bounds play that was blocked outof-bounds by West Craven. The scoreboard clock reflected no time remaining as Washing ton reset its inbounds play. But the pass hit a Pack player's hand just as the buzzer terminated the contest and ignited an Eagle celebration. Washington went into the con test without the services of standout guard Joe Daniels, who was disqualified from playing due to academic ineligibility. "I know Daniels meant more to us than two points," Smith said. Daniels had averaged 14.6 points a game in 14 games this season. But it wasn’t guard play that was the culprit against West Craven. It was a 15-4 scoring run at the start of the second period that cost the Pam Pack dearly. On that run, the Eagles chop ped 27-16 halftime deficit to a 33- 31 lead with 2:27 to piay in the third period. From there. West Craven went on to lead by as much as 13 points before the Pam Pack made a fourth-quarter rally. Trailing 50-37 with 3:24 to play, guard Nico Hines canned back- to-back three-pointers, cleared the boards and went to the floor for a loose ball as Washington closed the margin to 50-43 with 2:21 remaining. West Craven ballooned its mar gin to 51-43 as guard Willie Man- ley hit the back end of a two-shot free-throw opportunity. But another Hines’ bucket, on an assist from freshman Jason Smith after a flurry of offensive rebounds, narrowed the margin to 51-45. Washington closed the gap to 51 -47 as Donnell Albritton scored on a follow with 40 seconds re maining. West Craven added a free- throw by Maniey to improve its lead to 52-47 with 22 seconds re maining. The Pack then tried a three- pointer which was off-target and recovered by West Craven. The Pack fouled and regained pos session after the ftee-throw rat tled off the rim. Hines canned a three-pointer from the left side with approx imately three seconds left. However, the clock ticked down and the Pack recovered posses sion with the scoreboard listing one second remaining. Hines finished as the only Washington player in double- figures scoring with 25 points. Manley finished as the only Eagle in double figures with 21 points while Keith Roundtree, a 6-7 senior, added nine. The Eagles dominated the boards in the second half after Washington controlled the first half Both teams finished with 29 rebounds. Ryan Dixon led the Pack with 12 grabs. Smith credited his team’s com eback and cited West Craven’s play early in the second half “They (West Craven) did a pret ty decent job on the boards in the second half” he said. "They got on a roll; Roundtree got loose early and scored some easy buck ets and they hit some timely three-pointers. “We did a good job in coming back.” In the girls’ game, the Pam Pack rolled to its 11th conseeu- tive win behind a 17-point, 10- rebound effort from six-footer Tonya Holley in a game slowed by numerous and sometimes questionable calls. “I think the officiais knew this game was for first piace (in the conference standings),’’ said Lady Pack coach Donald Gibbs in trying to rationaiize the numerous calis. “There were some big bodies out there and a lot of ‘bodying-up’." The numerous calls slowed the game to crawl the first three quarters. Washington, after trailing21-18 at the half took the lead with 2:20 to play in the third quarter as Holley notched a three-point play on a drive, pushing the Pack to a 27-24 advantage. However, with approximately six minutes to play, the Lady Pack’s DeeAnna Davis exited the game after taking a blow to the chin that opened a ciit requir ing a trip to the hospital for stitches. Washington stiffened defen sively in the final three minutes while Sonya Reddick scored four points and Holley added one. The Lady Pack defense limited West Craven to two points on a pair of free throws in the final two minutes. Gibbs said a change in the Lady Pack’s defense at the half ws pivotal. "We went from a triangle-and- one with a chaser to a box-and- one with the defender on Chun- dra Croell,” said Gibbs. He also cited the reserve play of fleshmen Keisha Riddick and Allison Bron. "Keisha came in for Katherine Occhipinti, who got in foul trou ble and Allison took over when Davis got hurt," Gibbs said. “They did a good job." Gibbs was pleased with the Lady Pack’s week. "We beat Havelock, which was ranked No. 1 and then beat West Carteret, which was rankzd No. 3. Then we beat West Craven, which was ranked No. 6,” he noted. “This was a great week for us. We dedicated ourseles and worked hard.” West Craven was led by Croell's 13 points while Evelyn Dimmer chipped in with 10. In the junior varsity game, the junior Pack held off a furious fourth-quarter West Craven rally with free throws. Washington’s Mike Moore, a six-footer, hit 9-of-lO charity attempts in the fourth quarter and finished 14-of-17 from the line. Rod Gorham, a 5-11 perfor mer, added a 4-for-4 effort (Vom the line in the final frame en route to a game-high and season- high 22-point outing as the junior Pack improved to 10-3 overall and 3-1 in the conference. West Craven trailed 48-34 at the end of the third quarter but siz zled from the three-point line, hitting five in the fourth quarter and finishing with eight. West Craven’s Biily Dail buck eted a wild throw that clanked off the back of the rim and in to cut the margin to 66-63 with 21 seconds remaining. However, Moore iced the contest with a pair of free tosses as West Craven exited 5-8 overall and 1-3 in the conference. Washington jayvee coach Sam Leggett praised his players for “staying with it.” “’They just kept going,” he said. In addition to the scoring spree by Gorham and Moore, Walter Rasby added 17 points. Moore led the Pack with 10 rebounds while Gorham dealt out five assists. West Craven was led by Dail’s 13 pints while Nathan Rouse added 12 and Johnny Gatling, who hit two three pointers, had nine points. The Lady Pack solidified its hold on first place in the confer ence standings with a 5-0 loop re cord and a 12-1 overall worksheet while West Craven fell to 9-6 overall and 3-2 in the conference. The Pam Pack boys exited with a 3-2 Coastal worksheet and a 12-3 overall record while West Craven improved to 4-1 in the conference and 10-5 overall. Vanceboro Where? The members of the Vanceboro Fire Depart ment have been discussing the Vanceboro Fire Department. That’s not unsual, you might say. But they are not talking about the fire deparment you think they are talking about. The local fire department was contacted a few months ago by one of the members of the Vanceboro Fire Depart ment in Maine. Like its sister city in the south, Maine’s version of Vanceboro is also a small town. The town is located on the U.S.-Canadian border. The firemen are also volunteers (top photo) and have corresponded and traded fire department patches with local firemen. The southern firemen have presented their nothem counterparts with a certificate of honorary membership. The northern firemen are asking anyone from the Vanceboro, N.C. area traveling in their area to “drop by and say hello and eixjoy the hospitality from the folks in Vanceboro, — Maine, that is.” The bottom photo shows a dam and the U.S. Customs office.
