He reported this to my husband, (his father) and he became quite upset and does not want me to go to the church anymore. He does not attend any church. Christian Dear Christian, If this is a “friendly gesture” suggest that he attend church with you. This may be a way of getting him involved in church activities.

Chronicle Profile Carver’s Coach Is Big Influence On Players by Robert Eller Staff Reporter Professional coaches re ceive tremendous publicity. College coaches receive their share and outstanding High School coaches often receive some ink too. But, what about the junior high coach? Doesn’t he deserve some credit too? After all, he is the first to deal the future Jabbars, McAdoos and Thompsons. A man who receives even less publicity than the majority of junior high coaches but, nonetheless, seems to always be on or near the top, and continually turns out senior high school stars is Alfred Poe. Poe is the Athletic Director at Carver Junior High School here. He also teaches Physical Education, is the Head Tennis Coach, and the Defensive co-ordinator for the football team. But, most of all Alfred Poe is the coach of the Carver Basketball team. In his 3 years at Carver, his teams have won two consecutive junior high city championships, but it hasn’t been easy although Poe admits it has been fun. He came to Carver in August of 1972 and took over a basketball program that never • had a winning tradition. The previous year the team had a 4-12 irecord .. The North Carolina Central University graduate stepped in and made a complete re-evaluation of the program. “1 firsthad to get to know the guys,” He said. “We had a good talent,” he added. Poe used this talent to develop a devastating running game, a sticky 1-3-1 zone defense, and a free-lance type offense to produce an 11-5 record. The team tied for second place among city junior high schools. They went on to the tournament semi-finals before losing to Kennedy Junior High. “That was a heart breaking defeat,” Poe recal led. “They came from ten points down in the last tow minutes to win.” All five starters on that team played major roles on city Senior High teams this season. Rodney Young starred for Parkland High, Willard Coker was a starter on Reynolds 4-a state champion ship team, and Reginald Blaylock, Kevin Edwards, and Ron Hollingsworth (the only freshman on that team) all played for East Forsyth. Poe called his 1973 championship his most grati fying. “This team had less talent than either the ’72 or ’74 team, but Hollingsworth (the only returning starter) provided us with great leadership and the other players really came through.” Poe’s cagers won the regular season championship with an 11-3 record, and went on to take the tournament. They became the first junior high team to win both the regular season and tourna ment championship in the same season. “Those kids had •great courage,” Poe said proudly . The key player on the team was Hollingsworth who was nomii^ted for prep All- American. Other outstanding performers were Charles Plowden, Leland Salter and Wayne Hoover. This season Poe again won the regular season champion ship; finishing the regular .season with a 13-1 record. Poe, a native of High Point, attended William Penn high school there where he was a star in tennis, basketball, and football. He went to North Carolina Central University (NCCU) on a tennis scholarship in tennis (flight 3) four consecutive years. His overall four year See COACH PaRe 10
