Another Wild-Crazy Cage Season By Elson Armstrong, Jr. North Carolina, UCLA, Louisville, and Kentucky are the pro hibitive early season favorites but with the way things have gone tjie , JlSWteurgasbns in col-, egiate'fosketbaTl, doFf e surprised if none of these teams make it to the 1982 final four in New Orleans, when March rolls around. Sure, on paper, the above-mentioned ' teams are loaded, but college basketball is probably the most balanced of any sport and the big boys no longer win games just by showing up. Long gone are the days of the John Wooden-led UCLA dynasty that produced ten national titles in twelve years between 1964 and 1975. Even if the "Wizard of West wood" was still coaching, he would have trouble just making it to the final four these days. Since 1976, only UCLA, Indiana and North Carolina have made it to the final four more than once and of those, only Indiana has brought home the brass ring. With the increasing talent in the nation's high schools and since it's easier J,o become a cage power (more so than in foottall), at least thirty teams each year have a legitimate shot at the big prize. v It seems as if each year there's some surprising Cinderella that sets the cage game on its ear by knocking off a couple of the biggies. In 1977, unheralded Idaho State pulled one of the biggest surprises of Hazel Plummer Bowling Scores The Hazel B.

But the hottest story that year was the "Cornbread" Maxwell led UNC-Cnarlotte 49ers who knocked over No. L rlankia MicrfigaS tdwirr the Mideastern Regional and lost to eventual NCAA Champ Mar quette on a controversial basket at the buzzer. 1977 was the year that the state of North Carolina nearly claimed th final four as its own property as Wake Forest, Charlotte, and Carolina made it to various regional finals th first - and thus far only time that three teams from the same state had advanced that far. In 1978, in a Western Regional that included North Carolina, UCLA, San Francisco, Kansas and Arkansas,' the hot test team was none of the above. Along came Cal State Fullerton (who had finished third in the PCAA) to upset the ap ple cart with stirring come-from-behind finishes. The Titans came within a whisper of beating Arkansas in the Western Title game. Also in 1978, on the East Coast, Duke return ed to. basketball glory and made the National Championship before bowing to Kentucky. The Dukies were the youngest team ever to advance that far. In 1979, Indiana State with Larry Bird had everyone chirping before Magic Johnson and Michigan State put a damper on the party in the big one. In 1980, as incredible as it may seem, the final four consisted of three teams that finished lower than second in their respective leagues but Louisville, the only con ference champion, won the crown over UCLA who, by this time, was considered a Cinderella, i This past season, there were a number of heart stopping upsets in the earlier rounds of the playoffs, but by the time the smoke had cleared, Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia, and LSU made it to Philadelphia and there was not a Cinderella among them. The Hoosiers upended , the Tar Heels for No. I. With that as a background, who knows MIKE HUEY Huey Picked For All-Conference First Team Mike Huey, a 6'4", 240 lb., senior at Jordan High School, was one of two Jordan football players elected by coaches in the Triangle 3-A Coti ference to the first team All-Conference. Huey is a place kicker who has been very consisi tent within the 43-yard range. He attempted seven field goals and was good on five, two of wHich were 43 yards, two were 35 yards and one was 38 yards. Huey missed'two fields. One was a 53-yarder which fell just a few feet short and a 40-yarder which bare ly missed the uprights. In the last game of the season, Huey kicked two field goals, a 35-yarder and a 38-yarder, These could have easily been 50-yarders, with the height and distance he had on them. He also kicked an ex tra point, made two tackles, and recovered one fumble which set up one of his field goals. Coach Hal Keith is reported to have saidAhat he has seen Huey kick 55-yarders in practra con sistently and that the Falcons will miss the field goal poTeinTiaT which graauafes'wit If MittTffueyl Huey would like nothing better than to get an op portunity to show his ability to kick in the North South Shrine Bowl game and the East-West All-Star game. Huey is the son of Rev. Albert and Mrs. Dorothy Huey of 109 Delchester Ct., Durham. Sports Souly Quariu CoomwlmloM iThe history of man reflects that he best operates in a group. Team sports show this belter than almost any other kind of human endeavor. Many of the virtues of collective effort are pro nounced, preached, and practiced by successful athletic teams. Champions know what getting a good group effort really means. It means a chance at reaching a goal that is more than the sum total of each in dividual goal. It means sports souly, in sports. . . .the best of life in life. Student Athletic Aims More college athletic programs are increasingly promoting facts about their student-athletes' high academic achievement. This may mean that more and more student-athletes are putting it all together, or are having it put together for them. Look to see what your favorite school is doing to guide its student-athletes in their studies. Indeed, your questions and interest will help some in their academic aims. And, having improved their minds, their "athletic abilities will be enhanced. G.O.S.H. Somehow the names of football stars of today do not have that special ring as did the names of grid greats of yesteryear. Besides having great ability, our Golden Old Sports Heroes had unique names. . . .marketable names that attracted the kind of publicity that helped in many ways. SPOEMS Do you have a son you want to become a sports star? Are you a former athlete?, The sports poem below is offered for your thoughts. I may have a son ' , You may have a son, All us former athletes may have sons; And as our sons get older ' -K Our hopes may grow bolder, Looking for another try in the sun. I must not lie. You must not lie, ! All true doers must night lie; Should our sons can't take it , ; Surely we'll not force or fake it, But gladly thank our Maker . . .for another try. Eagles Give Up Thanksgiving Turkey; Panthers Roll To 45-7 CIAA Championship CHARLOTTE Virginia Union raced past North Carolina Central 45-7 to win the CIAA Championship. The Panthers, undefeated in eleven games and ranked se cond in the NCAA Divi sion II, capitalized on seven Eagles miscues in recording the lopsided win. From just looking at the score, you would figure that NCCU didn't stand a chance. Despite being its worst enemy, the Eagles were in the ball game for a half. They took the opening kickoff from their 15 and marched to the Va. Union 17. A third and 14 pass, good for 49 yards, from Gerald Fraylon to Victor Hunter was the key play in the drive. At the VUU 17, Fraylon turned and pit ched the ball to freshman tailback Clifton Kersey. Kersey couldn't find the handle and Union was in business at their 19. In six plays the Panthers were on the scoreboard. Gary Mayo raced the final 53 yards to put the Panthers up 7-0 at 9:12. Following exchange of possessions, the Pan thers received another gift from the Eagles. It was a 19 yard punt by Joey Day to the NCCU 35. It took Va. Union five plays to go- the distance. Again Mayo went over for the score this time from the 1. Mayo scored his third touchdown on the first play of the second period. He rambled 14 yards to score five seconds into the period. A 28 yard interception by Little All-American cornerback William Dillon set up the Pan thers' scoring opportuni ty at the NCCU 16. The Eagles took the ensuing kickoff and mar ched 88 yards in 10 plays to score with Fraylon completing 3 of 5 passes in the drive for 47 yards. Junior fullback Bennie Tate garnered the other 41 yards on 4 carries in cluding the scoring run of 23 yards. Central was now down 21-7 with 11:27 left in the first half. The Eagles defense held and forced a 14 yard punt that gave Central the ball at the VUU 31. Fraylon dropped back to pass and his throw bounced off the shoulder pads of split end Victor Hunter into the hands of VUU cornerback Vernon Mtfore, who rambled 16 yards to the NCCU 16. The Eagles held and the Panthers settled for a 32 yard field goal by Roderick Copeland. A Kersey 3 1 yard punt return put the ball at the VUU 47 with 37 seconds left in the half. Central got to the 6 as the half ended. The Eagles had outgained the Panther 209-188 iun totall of fense in the first half but had suffered 4 miscues, all converted for scores. A blocked punt by Moore gave the Panthers the ball at the NCCU 39 after intermission. On the second play Mike Johnson circled left end and scored on a 37 yard scamper at 10:56. The Panthers' Moore picked up another block ed punt at the NCCU 4 and took it in for the score at 5:26.' The Panthers last score, a 60 yard intercep tion by Alphonso Brown, came when James Faison's pass was deflected off Carl Hill. The Eagles won the total offense battle 335 to 296. However, they lost the very important turnover sweepstakes. They were guilty of 9 miscues four fumble losses, 3 interceptions and 2 blocked punts. Central recovered one Panthers fumble. Mayo led all rushers with 104 yards in 8 car ries. Central's Tate finished with 94 in 22 at tempts. Fraylon, the treshman sensation from Charlotte's Myers Park, was limited to a minus 2 yards rushing in 1 1 tries. However, he completed 12 of 24 passes for 191 yards. His backup, James Faison, was 2 of 5 for 26 yards. Hunter led all receivers with 8 catches for a career high 134 yards. NOTES: Fraylon's performance against Va. Union gives him 1129 yards passing and 308 yards rushing for the year. ..The All-CIAA and Co-Offensive Player of the Year has com pleted 70 of 178 passes for 10 touchdowns. He has been intercepted 16 times. ..Tate leads the Eagles rushers with 642 yards in 139 at tempts...
