Caught this season without an experienced outside shooter, a legitimate power player or a take-charge point guard, Gaines still coached his team to a tie for the CIAA's Southern Division title with more talented St. Augustine's. And, after trailing the nation's No.l-ranked Division 11 team 43-25 in front of a partisan home crowd in Norfolk's Scope with 15:32 left, the Rams came alive, runn-. ing off 12 straight points over the next five and a half minutes to pull to within four. "Our kids showed a lot of guts and heart after being so far down to the nation's top team," reflected Gaines, a sense of pride in his voice. "But a miss is as good as a mile," he added, looking over a stat sheet that showed the Spartans had survived with a 63-6(LwinJ_Lbeiri27th of the season against one loss. Following the 12-point spurt, the Rams, trailing 44-39 in the physical, defense-oriented contest, closed to within a point, 50-49, at 5:35 on a basket by Linwood Gorham. The Spartans went back up by six, 59-53, with 3:30 left on long jumpers from guards Ralph Tally, who wound up as the tournament's Most Valuable Player, and Barry Mullen. But the Rams scored the game's next five points on a turnaround jumper by Roger Mason, who led all scorers with 19 points, and three free throws by sub Eugene Pennick. Pennick botched a chance to tie the score when he missed the final of his free throw attempts with 59 seconds left. Mullen scored on another long jump shot with 24 seconds left lot a three-point. Norfolk lead, and his free throw with three seconds remaining set the final margin. The loss left the Rams with a 20-8 mark for the season, Gaines' first 20-win year since 1978. What made the I season extra special to Gaines, however, was the fact that the record was accomplished with what the coach termed not one of his most talented teams. "This was-not what I call a good ball club," Gaines said. "But they worked hard. Seven of our eight losses ' came against outstanding teams. We lost twice to Norfolk and they are the top team in the nation, twice to St. Augustine's, and they ate going to the (NCAA) Division 11 playoffs, twice to North Carolina A&T, a team that has won 20 games in Division 1 and will make the NCAA tournament, and once to Virginia Union, which will also probably make the Division II tournament. "In those games we were outmatched at all five positions but our kids did a good job defensively and that kept us in games." Defense tufned out to be the key in this year's tourney as Virginia Union was the only team to score more than 80 points in a contest. The Panthers did it twice, whipping up on Southern Division doormat Livingstone 93-68 and the Northern Division's sixth seed, St. Paul's, 84-65 in the quarterfinals.
