Bunn Downs Rock Ridge
Rock Ridge -- Rock Ridge
High turned a close basketball
-game into a rout with a dis
astrous series of fourth quart
er errors to spark themselves
to a 6448 non -conference
pasting at the hands of unde
feated Bunn Friday night.
The non-rally, which also
sent the Rams to their second
defeat in as many starts, ignit
ed itself just after the losers
had tied the game with 7:10
left to play and coupled with
the lady Rams' 23-211oss to
Bunn in the girls preliminary,
gave the visitors a sweep of
the night's action.
Hie Ram loss overshadow
ed a fine 17-point perfor
mance by Rock Ridge for
ward Charles Finch, who
equalled Bunn center Wayne
Horton's point total and neu- *
tralized the winner's big gun
with a fine game off the
offensive and defensive
boards.
Center Donnie Boyette
added 11 points and guard
Wiley Boyette hit 10 for the
Rams, who trailed 23-22 at
the half and fell back to a
41-38 deficit at the end of
three quarters.
Forward Glenn Cone fol
lowed Horton for Bunn with
14, while forward Jerry
Strickland had 10.
The Bunn and Rock Ridge
girls swapped leads for the
entire second half after the
Ramettes rallied from a 7-1
first quarter deficit to tie the
game early in the third quart
er.
Bunn broke the last tie of
the game with less than two
minutes to play with a three
pointer and then froze the
ball for the last 17 seconds
after the Ramettes threw
away an inbounds pass.
Jean Hagwood canned 11
points to lead all scorers for
Bunn, followed by teammate
Marsha Winstead with nine.
Connie Joe Barnes canned
seven to lead Rock Ridge.

College Cage Pre-Season Poop
The 1969-70 basketball
season promises to be one of
the most exciting in the his
tory of the Cavalier-Tarheel
Conference. Ferrum and
Louisburg are picked by most
of the coaches as the teams to
beat. Both teams have several
blue chippeis back from last
year's club, which will make a
strong foundation to build
upon. In the opinions of the
coaches either Southwood or
? ' Mount Olive could be strong
dark horse contenders by
LOI ISBURG: Louisbi
last year'* conference cham
pion md runnerup in the
Region 10 Tournament, has
several outstanding boys re
turning. Leading the group is
pint size Larry Paschal I, a 5
feet 9 inch guard, who brings
? 17.9 scoring average from
his freshman year. He was
also named to the first team
All-Conference and All
Tournament teams, plus be
ing voted the tournament's
Most Valuable Player.
Another high flying Hurri
, cane returnee is 6 feet 4 inch
forward Terry Davis, who last
year averaged 14.9 points
while grabbing 15 rebounds
per game. Terry also made
the first team, All-Con
f ere nee, and All-Toumamerft
teams. George Bowden is
another starter back from last
year. George is a sturdy 6 feet
1 inch guard who had an 8.5
scoring average.
end of the season.
uoacn urake Has several
freshmen who are going to
make their presence felt.
Leading the list is Honorable
Mention High School AU
American Ricky Richardson.
Rkk la a very sturdy 6 feet 5
Incber from Chesapeake, Vir
ginia. He should piay a big
role in the 'Canes' season.
Guards Wet Webb and Billy
Spence are probably going to
tee a great deal of action in
the relief roles for Catchall
and Bowden.
Coach Drake says, "We
hope to be at strong as last
year. Although we are lacking
the bench strength of last
year by the departure of our
three big men all over 6 feet
6, the return of players with
the caliber of Catchall , Davis
and Bowden will give us a
good nucleus for our first
five."
When asked about the
teams to beat, Drake replied,
"Ferrum returns several
strong players from last year
and should be as strong, may
be stronger." He rates South
wood as a possible dark horse
candidate.
Gone from last year's club
are: Bob Walker, University
of North Carolina at Wilming
ton, Dick Driver, Emory and
Henry, John Lewis, North
Carolina State to play base
ball, and Mike Lynch, North
Carolina Wesleyan.
FERRUM: Ferrum Junior
College will open the 1969-7(T
basketball season with an
array of inexperienced fresh
men and only a few returnees
from last season's 21-8 team.
Notably among the eight
player losses from last year's
squad are All Region X per
former L. J. Kilby and his
running mate at guard, David
Hobbs. Both boys are now
attending Virginia Common
wealth University on full
grant-in-aids. .Also missing
from last year's starting five is
Tom Chanev, Ferrum's lead
ing scorer and second leading
rebounder. Chaney is now at
tending West Virginia Tech at
Montgomery, West Virginia.
The Panthers must build
its team around lettermen
Sam Oglesby, 6'3" Gary
Orsini, 6'3". Jack Puckett,
and 6"1" Brad Obermiller.
Oglesby and Orsini should
provide board strength while
Puckett and Obermiller hope
fully will supply much of the
offensive punch.
Best or the newcomers are
Larry Robfhson, Mike Cple
man, and sophomore transfer
Bruce McLennan. Robinson,
a 6'4", 205 pound forward,
has size and strength at a posi
tion where those qualities are
scarce. Coleman, a second
team All-State guard from
Liberty High School In Bed
ford where he averaged 22
points per game, his senior
year, has a good chance to
become- a starter if his de
fense and ball handling im
prove. McLennan, a transfer
from the William and Mary
Indiana, should see plenty of
action as a Panther. Bruce has
speed, quickness, and ex
u
perience.
Ferrum will be playing a
better over-all schedule than
last year's. A definite lack of
height, however, may prevent
them (for the first time in six
seasons) from getting 20 or
more victories in a single sea
son. What the hnthers lack
in size and experience, they
hope to make up for in quick
ness and aggressive team play.
Louisburg should be the
team to beat based upon their
returning players which help
ed them to the Conference
title last year. There should
be two or three teams with an
outside chance of taking the
Conference crown. It should
be an interesting season.
MOUNT OLIVE: Coach
Tom Edwards is looking to
ward a big year for his Tro
gans of Mount Olive. Al
though the Trogans have only
a couple from last year's team
returning. Coach Edwards
battled well in the recruiting
wars to bring in a fine crop of
freshmen. This season is going
to see a bunch of big Trogans.
Tom Gwinn, a sophomore
co-captain, is the only return
ing starter from last year.
Last year Tom averaged 11
points and 8 rebounds per
game. This season Coach Ed
wards is thinking of shifting
his 6 feet 4 inch, 190 pound
er to guard - some guard.
High scoring Larry Williams, a
freshman, could be the chief
gunner for the Trogans. As a
high school senior, he poured
them in at a 26.0 game aver
age. Freshman center Larry
Noland at 6 feet 6 inches can
help the point production
and will be a real battler on
the boards.
The biggest Trogan it 6
feet 7 Inch Wilt Frye. A good
shooter, Walt ray pity a for
ward dot. Together he and
Noland will rake Mount
Olive hard to handle off the
boards. C. G. Arrington, at 6
feet 3 inches, is another boy
with the strength to play for
ward, and the quickness to
run as a guard. C. 0. will see a
lot of action. Coach Edwardi
also has high Hopes for Jay
TJghe, a 6 foot guard, ind
Ricky Taaque, a 6 foot 5 Inch
center. Co-captain Paul
Huchner, a 6 foot 4 inch
sophomore, is also counted
on for help.
Coach Edwards thinks that
Louisburg and Ferrum will be
the teams to beat.
SOUTHWOOD: At Salem
burg. Coach Jim Tompkins is
adding the finishing touches
to his 1969-70 edition of the
Southwood Rams.
Leading the way is E. J.
Wilder, a sophomore co-cap
tain and a second team All
Conference selection .last
year. He is expected to be the
team leader. He averaged
Bruce McLennan. Robinson,
a 6'4". 205 pound forward,
has size and strength at a
David Dutton, a White
ville. freshman, is a strong
and determined player. At 6
feet 3 inches Dave could be
the team's leading rebounder.
Brooks Bradshaw, a transfer
from Carolina Military, will
add quickness to the Rams'
guard position. He is a good
shooter from 25 feet. Randy
Justice is another high flying
6-footer. He is having trouble
making the transition to for
ward, but he is a real battler
all the time.
Bringing the fleet feet to
the guard slot Is Teddy Tuc
ker, > second team All-East
selection as a high school
senior. Jesse Freddy trans
ferred from Hargrave Mili
tary. Although just a 6
footer, he is a real scrapper,
and plays taller under the
boards.
Coach Tompkins believes
that Louisburg and Ferrum
will be fighting for the
honori. He rates Chowan as a
team that could give trouble,
helped them to the Con
ference title last year. There
should be two or three teams
with an good defense. "Last
year we were not sound de
fensively," he said, "nor did
we have any bench strength.
This year the bench will be
stronger, but rebounding is
still a problem." In doting
Tompkins said, "We know we
have a better team than last
year's but we play a tougher
schedule. We just hope to
improve on last year's 9-18
record."
No Information ts available
at this time on either Chowan

Canes Win First Games
me 19B9-70 Louisburg
College Hurricanes beat Kit
trell 89-80 in the season's
opener Thursday night. Led
by Larry Paschall, Terry
Davis, and Ricky Richardson,
the 'Canes played exception
ally good for the opening
game and it took a very good
effort to hold off the deter
mined Bulldogs from Kittrell.
A ten point 'Cane first half
lead was reduced to a 43-38
half time lead. In the second
half the 'Canes pushed the
lead to eleven at 55-44 only
to have the Bulldogs fight
back to within one point at
66-65. The score was 72-71 -?
Louisburg, with 6:37 to play.
At this point Paschall, Davis,
and Richardson led a Louis
burg surge that enabled the
'Canes to win going away.
Richardson scored the first
five points of the game and
the 'Canes never trailed as
they worked through the
Bulldogs' defense for the big
baskets each time Kittrell
came close to taking the lead.
Wendell Sport led Kit
trell's scoring with 22 points.
It was his marksmanship from
long range that kept the Bull
dogs in contention until the
final minutes. Henry True
blood and Ray Brown had 14
and 12 points respectively,
most of them covering from
outside.
The rebounding was domi
nated by Kittrell in the first
half but Louisburg dominated
the second half on the
strength of the work of Davis,
Richardson, and Billy S pence,
a reserve guard who took over
when George Bowden picked
up his fourth foul early in the
second half. Hie 'Canes grab
bed 42 rebounds for the game
and Kittrell had 35.

Hurricanes built a 42-28 half
time lead and then poured in
65 points in the second half
to sink Wingate's Bulldogs
107-85.
At the 10:50 mark in the
fust half the score was Louis
burg 17. Wingate 16 when the
'Canes scored 10 points to
one for Wingate in three
min.tes to lead 27-17. This
spurt was spearheaded by
Larry Paschall and Terry
Davis, and then Paschall and
George Bowden poured in the
points that sent the 'Canes
lead to 42-24 before Wingate
scored the last 4 points of the
half to cut the deficit to 14.
The 'Canes came out
strong in the second half to
pour in 23 points in the first
8 minutes to run their lead to
65-44. Davis had four field
goals and Mark Wilson three
in the early second half bom
bardment that left little
doubt about the final out
come. Wingate cut the lead to
eleven, 84-73 at the " 3:39
mark against Louisburg re
serves but the 'Canes scored
repeatedly on layups against a
desperate Bulldog press in the
final three minutes to push
the final score above the cen
tury mark.
The 'Canes' scoring was
well balanced for the second
consecutive game as Davis led
with 19; Paschall had 17;
Ricky Richardson 15; Bow
den 13, and Billy Spence 10.
Jerry Thomas, a sharp shoot
ing guard for the Bulldogs,
