' By Larry Barber The Kinston Vikings survived the eight-team pack last week at durham High School's Paul Sykes Gym to cap ture ,i the three-day Durham Sun Holiday Basketball Tournamet championship. In last Wednesday's . finals, Kinston downed stub born . Hillsborough Orange 46-45 in a game that saw the losers misjs two possible game winning shots with less than ten seconds left to play. JKinston scored .what eventually was the final outcome with 3:03 left in the game, and following an Orange turnover, the Vikings held the ball un til they committed a tur nover with 2 seconds re maining; The Panthers went down court but missed a jump shot with just nine seconds left, and again at the buzzer. The Vikings won their first championship in this tournament after four tries since it has been played in honor Paul C. Williamson. Derrick Johnson and - Herb Suggs led Kinston, now 10-0 , with 17 and 13 points, respectively, while Harvey Holt top ped Orange with 15. Willie Bradshaw, the director of Secondary Physical Education and Athletics for the Durham City Schools, said that last week's tournamment was definitely one of the . most exciting eye. . Hosting Durham High, which lost to Orange 4846 on Tues day night, took third place by defeating Smithfield-Selma 57-55 in Wednesday's consola tion contest. Sm mith field had lost to Kinston 45-50 the previous evening. , Fifth place went to Durham Southern after the Spartans escaped GaTrner 71-69; Southern had smashed Hillside 95-77 in Tuesday's ac tion, and Garner buried i Jordan 87-58. Hillside took seventh place by beating Jordan 70-60. Bradshaw, who is into hjs fourth year at his pre sent post and who is a former Hillside coach, believes the tournament showcased one Of the finest fields ever; but ad mitted it was not as finanially successful as others. He blames the nation's current economic woes as a ma jor reason, and cites the 1978 tournament as the most successful money wise. Kinston's Suggs was named the Most Valuable Player and teammates Eric Lewis and Johnson joined him on the All-Tournament squad. Curtis Hunter of Southern, who put on a scoring display with 24, 27, and 32 points in three games, also made the team.. Others were Dorsey Edmundsen, Garner; Hillsborough's Harvey Holt and Danny' Poole; Durham High's David Clinton and Bryan Carrington;Greg Webb, Souther; and Anthony Dublin, Smithfjeld. In the opening rounds last Monday, Smithfield downed Hillside 68-58, Orange defeated Jordan 58-44, Durham High slipped by Garner 52-50, ' and Kinston won the bat i tie Of the unbeatens '85-79 over Southern. Bradshaw explained that the Durham Sun Tourney actually started . In 1974 . wrMl ,four, Durham schpbls; Hillside, Durham High, ; Jordan, and Southern were featured. In 1976, the field was expanded to eight teams and out-of-. state schools were in vited. The most memorable was when former Duke star Gene Banks led his team out of .Philadelphia. In 1978, only in-state schools were selected, and the tournament was played in honor of Williamson, as we know it today. Championships To Be Played - By Larry Barber After eighteen weeks of frantic professional football action, the Na tional Football , League championship has come down to the grasp of jour super teams. ; On Saturday, l he ipillas Cowboys showed an old "Doomsday jXfense" form and shut bi'i explosive Tampa Bay 3X-0; and I he San -Diego Chargers slipped by jviiami 41-38 in an over time shoot -out. j Last Sunday, the Cin cinnati Bengals beat I back Buffalo 28-21, and the amazing San Frarir cisco 49ers creamed the New York Giants 38-24. This Sunday, San Diego will travel to Cin cinnati to face the Bengals in the American Football ' Conference championship game at 1 p.m. and at 4:30 p.m., San Francisco will host the Cowboys in the Na tional Football Con ference title skifmish. Last season, both Dallas and San Diego lost conference cham-. pionship games, while 8WWH i ill.. ii Mill I San Fran and Cincy fail ed to make the playoffs. Also, a wildcard team won the world title last year, but this season; all four have been eliminated. The winners on Sun day will advance to Super Bowl 16, which will be held in Pontiac, Michigan's; Silverdome on January 24 at 4 p.m. In the Dallas-Tampa game, ' the Cowboy defense dictated the ac tion early forcing the Buccaneers out of their strategy, and then con- NCCU Basketball at McDougald Gym NCCU Eagles vs Shaw Univ.

Williams did get enough time to com plete ten of-29 passes fo 187 yards, but he suf fered four interceptions Dallas also allowed Tarn pa Bay only 72 yards or the ground. In one of the greatest playoff games of ali time, San Diego charged by Miami in the Orange Bowl and lit up the scoreboard with 24 first quarter points. Two minutes into the second period, Miami coach Don Shula inserted reserve quarterback Don Strock, and by virtue of a trick play touchdown pass on the last play of the half, the Dolphins, made the score 24-17. Strock struck quickly in the third stanza with a TD pass to Joe Rose and the score was tied. San Diego came back on a pass from Dan Fouts to Kellen Winslow, but Miami scored on another Strock pass, and even-, tually assumed the lead in the final quarter on a 12-yard run by Tony Nathan. The Chargers sent the ganie into over time on a Billy Brooks TD reception .with 58 seconds remaining. Miami had a chance to win in regulation, but a 43-yard field goal by Uwe von Schamann fell short. In the overtime, San Diego's . Rolf Benirschke missed a 27-yard field goal try, and the Miami kicker was no good on another from 34 yards out, before Benirschke hit on --. By Elson Armstrong, Jr In past years, whenever an ACC fan yelled V We're No. 1" it usually meant basketball and while the league' is still proud of it's prowess on the cage front, 1981 more than any previous year, saw the Atlantic , Coast Conference soar to unprecedented heights in other sports. Here's a capsulof the past year in ACC Sports. From early December to late March, as usual, ;. basketball was king and 1981 proved to be one of the most satisfying in the league's 28-year history. With North Carolina and Virginia leading the way, four ACC teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament (Wake ' Forest and Maryland were included) and two (Duke, Clemson) receiv ed NIT bids. Virginia and Carolina . carried the conference honors proudly as the Cavaliers won the tough Eastern Regionals. UNC, playing before hostile crowds, won the, Western Crown which set up a titanic match between these two ACC powers in the NCAA semi-finals in Philadelphia. North Carolina won this match 78-65 to gain a measure of revenge fro two close losses to the Wahoos in the regular season. Carolina finished se cond to Indiana in the National Championship Game while Virginia beat LSU for third place, giving the conference two of the top three cage teams for 1981; In , April, lNC. and StatftAfjualified for, the rAiAw-trVdmenV Na-1 tional Softball tourna ment. Again UNC finished second in a Na tional Championship game. ; . In . May, - North Carolina was again, in volved in a National Championship en counter as the undefeated Tar Heel lacrosse team battled unbeated and defending NCAA king John Hopkins for' the title. UNC prevailed in a thrilling overtime match 14-13 and thus' became the first deep south scool to win the lacrosse title. Virginia advanced to the semi-finals of the lacrosse tourney (losing to John's Hopkins) and N.C. State's lacrosse III Two Coming Up Yolanda Langston, No. 31, scores two of her 14 points against Math and Science School as Hillside went on to win the tilt 58-22. She also stacked up 11 rebounds. Lisa Chalmers added 17 points and A J. Jones, 8. Hillside's Lady Hornets now stand at 3-5. Pkole k; Sib, MiyflrU X 'Mi yu.3uiii' m hi team finished in the top ten. the popularity of lacrosse really increased in the Triangle. The season ending con ference deciding match between UNC and State drew a capacity crowd of over 4500 to the UNC field complete with pep bands and cheerleaders. The ACC held it's best ever ACC baseball tour nament over at Chapel Hill in May. When the dust cleared, Clemson edged UNC for the title. In the fall, football and men's and women's soccer grabbed the headlines. In men's soccer ac tion, Duke soared to No. I in the national rank , ings in September but Clemmson eventually won the ACC crown. Clemson, Duke, State and Virginia all advanc ed into NCAA play a first for the league. The North Carolina Women's Soccer team was awesome as it swept the AIAW National Championship finishing the season with a 23-0 mark. The Lady Tar Heels didn't yield a single goal through the regional and national tournaments. Virginia's Women's Cross Country team also brought home a national title. In football, it was the ACC's finest hour as it finally stepped up to the "Big Time", led by Clemson's perfect 12-0 season (including the Orange Bowl win over Nebraska). The league was a warded it's first NCAA football title since Maryland of 1953. North Carolina joined Clemson in the elite foot ball top ten as the 'Heels compiled a 10-2 mark and beat Arkansas in the Gator Bowl, it was the first time that UNC had finished two straight seasons in the top ten since the late,,l940's. Duke was. a-major na tional surprise as the Blue Devils had their first winning season (6-5) since 1974. In collegiate wrestling, both UNC and State were rated in the top ten this fall. Yes, it was quite a year for the ACC and many believe that 1982 may evep be better. North Caorlina entered December rank ed as the nation's No. 1 basketball team and the 'Heels more than lived up to their billing as they swept, unbeaten, through a strong early schedule which included Kentucky, Tulsa, South Florida, Southern Cal., Rutgers and Penn State.
