GREENSBORO
The NCCU Eagles
unleashed a ground
crunching rushing attack
and a jaw-bone cracking
defense on arch-rival
North Carolina A&T
and came away with a re
sounding 35-7 win in the
finale for both teams.
Central, 7-4, recipient of
two brutal defeates last
year at the hands of the
Aggies, were obliged to
return the favor this year
as they made Aggie stew
Saturday. Considered
one of the finer passing
teams in the CAA, the
Eagles blocked and
pushed the Aggies up
and down the field all
day.
"We were ready to
play Saturday," remark
ed an ecstatic NCCU
coach Henry Lattimore.
"We wanted to establish
a rushing attack and we
knew that we could be
successful. The overall
execution of the team in
the first half was tremen
dous." The opening period
was indicative of the play
of Central. The Eagles
controlled the ball for 1 3
minutes, 48 seconds. In
fact A&T ran only five
offensive plays in the
period. Central took the
opening kidcoff from its
24 and marched 48 yards
before stalling at the
A&T 28. The Aggies
were stopped in their
tracks for three plays
and punted the ball to
the NCCU 29. Thirteen
plays later the Eagles'
Clifton Kersey scored his
first of two touchdowns
on a 2 yard run at 1:33.
The Aggies' Lbn Har
ris 4ook. the ensuing
kwkof.ffral..lMsA:L5. but
fumbled the ball. Ar
nold Brown recovered
for the Eagles.
Freshman sensation
Gerald Fraylon handed
the ball to Kersey who
bulled for 5 yards. An il
legal motion penalty
pushed the Eagles back
to the 15. Fraylon rolled
to his left and went down
the left sideline cut
back across the field at
the eight and went in for
the score at 20 seconds.
Aggie quarterback
Steve Lynn started the
Aggies from their 40
with a six yard run.
However, on the next
play, he bobbled the
snap from center and
Alvin McNeil recovered
for NCCU. Eleven plays
later Fraylon sneaked in
from the 1.
It was all over after
that.
Central added two
touchdowns in the
fourth period on a I yard
run by Bennie Tate and a
7 yarder by Kersey.
Tate led all runners
with 131 yards in 20 car
ries. Kersey finished
with 105 also in 20 tries.
Fraylon, who played the
game with several nagg
ing injuries, finished
with 74 yards passing on
5 of 1 1 attempts.
The Eagles rushed for
281 yards in 60 attempts
and passed for 74 more
yards. They held the
high-powered Aggies
rushing machine to 23
yards in 38 attempts.
A&T completed 4 of 18
passes for 134 yards.
The win marked the
first time that NCCU
had beaten the Aggies
since 1976 when -Central
won on a' last second
field goal by Eric Hines.
High School Cage Action
Underway A Powerful League
By Elson Armstrong, Jr.
Now that the chilly,
damp weather has invad
ed this region, its the
perfect time to begin the
high school basketball
season. If past history is
any indication, action in
the Big Six Conference
Hillside, Durham
High, Chapel Hill,
Henderson-Vance, Nor
thern Durham,
Roxboro-Person will,
heat up enough gym-'
nasiums to more than of
fset the temperatures
outside.
Since it was formed in
1974, the Big Six has an
nually produced some of
the strongest 4-A high
school teams in
Tarheelia.
Just this past season,
Chapel Hill swept both
the girls and boys state
4-A titles and just as in
past seasons, some of the
stiffest competition for
the Tigers was in their
own league.
The Big Six came into
being whe Northern,
Chapel Hill, Roxboro,
and Vance all moved up
to 4-A level of play due
to increased enrollment
during the early I970's.
Durham High and
Hillside of Durham, who
were then playing in the
conference with the
Raleigh 4-A schools,
were also added to the
new league, the close
proximity of all the
schools created instant,
heated rivalries and
storied basketball con
tests. In its first year of
operation, the league
produced a State 4-A
champion as Henderson
Vance swept to a 26-0
record. The Vikings had
to survive a thrilling one
point win over Hillside in
the conference post
season tournament to
advance to the state tour
nament. In 1977, Durham High
was ranked by Street and
Smith's as the No. 11
ranked high school team
in the nation, but when
the smoke had cleared,
Chapel Hill won the
league regular season
crown. The talented
Bulldogs still had a
chance to advance to the
state playoffs if they won
the conference tourna
ment. The Bulldogs
ousted Chapel Hill but
were ambushed by bitter
rival Hillside in the
championship ganje.
Hillside advanced all the
way to the 4-A semi
finals, losing to eventual
Champion Huss of
Gastonia, 72-69. The
Hornets defeated
Reidsville for third
place.
It was in that 1977
season that Hillside and
Person played the in
famous deep freeze game
in . Roxborqs- ,-early
February a game won
by Hillside 2-0! This
game received national
attention.
In 1978, Northern
fielded it's best team ever
as the Knights finished
third in the state, but
Hillside beat them in
conference title match.
This season, Chapel
Hill has again beep rated
the favorite in boys
basketball, but Durham
High and Hillside are ex
pected to mount a strong
challenge.
In girls play, it should
be a royal battle between
Chapel Hill, Hillside and
Vance.
No matter what the
rating, one thing is sure,
the action will be hot and
heavy in the powerful
Big Six.
