There were 16 voters and the maximum number of points a team could receive was I 2. The NCA&T Aggies, who went 21-8 last year and played Duke in the NIT, received 14 first place votes and 188 total points. Don Corbctt, who was the 1980-81 MEAC Coach of the Year, returns four starters. Howard University (17-12) was second in the . prc-scason voting with ISO points and one first place vote. The Bison are . two-year, . ; defending champions, and because the MEAC had an automatic berth in the NCAA Division fs I, Basketball Champion I ships, they became the , .first MEAC team to play in that celebrated tour nament. Coach A.B. Williamson returns four starters to his squad. Florida A&M (17-11), coached by James Oles. was third in the voting with 138 points and one first place vote. Delaware State (8-18, Ajac Triplet!) had 77 points. South Carolina State (I MS, John Jones) had 75, Bethune Cookman (13-15). Cy McClairen) had 40, and recently readmitted University of Maryland Eastern Shore (17-13, Kirkland Hall) finished with 20 points. Big Four (Continued from Page 9) say that the Big Four was just ux) much of a strain emotionally for games that really didn't count. Will a semblance of the Big Four be revived in the future? It is this writer's opinion that the Big Four is dead forever. There was a super pro posal recently to have a super big eight tourney between the four North Carolina teams and four from the midwest Louisville. Kentucky. In diana, and Notre Dame but alas the idea got nowhere. Wc all know that Kentucky would back out once it saw that Louisville was in the tournament. I'd also like to sec a North Carolina vs. California Big Four (UCLA. USC. San Fran cisco, Fresno State) but we all know that UCLA would never do! would insist on So. so long. Big Four.

The Lady Hornets hosted the War riors of Eastern Wayne. Hillside head coach Tony Ford is seeking his fourth straight winning as girls coach. The Lady Hornets finished 6-4 in the Big Six Conference last year and 15-6 overall. Missing from last year's squad is guard Twin Quick and brilliant 6-4 center Tree Daye. Quick averaged 20.0 point and 6.0 assists per game while center Daye dominated the backboards. Daye averaged 12 rebounds per game and maintained a 15.0 scoring average. Both Quick and Daye are now playing on Johnson C. Smith University's Women's basketball team. Coach Ford will rely heavily on seniors Lisa Chalmers and Yolanda Langston to fill Quick's and Daye's shoes. Chalmers and Langston are considered two of the best forwards in the Big Six Conference. Langston's biggest basketball honor last season was her selection to the Lee County All Tournament Christmas Team. For the season, Langston averaged 8.0 points a game and 7.0 re bounds. Coach Ford describes Chalmers as being unstoppable, in side or within 3 to 5 feet from the basket. Coach Ford will use a rolling offense, an offen sive attack he invented, which worked very well with his 1979 team. It is effective against a zone or man-to-man defense. The Lady Hornets' ultimate goal will be to get the ball inside to either Chalmers or Langston. Defensively, the Lady Hornets will use a zone press regularly to force their opponents to plays Hillside's tempo.
