In 1980, the Braves became the first predominantly black
school to participate in the NCAA Division I playoffs,
beating South Alabama 70-62 before bowing to Louisiana
State 98-88. They were beaten by Houston 94-84 in
the 1982 NCAA tourney.
Overall, the Braves are 2-1 in NIT play and have a
respectable 3-4 record in NCAA playoff action, with all
four losses coming to nationally-ranked heavyweights.
And, akhougkit is of little consolation to Dave Whitney
and his team, they have outscored their opponents 521 to
514 in NCAA tournament games.
And, ''We'jafSc-iEfiCff next year,^ Whitney assured.
Whitney, known as "the Wiz," is finally beginning to'
gain some well-deserved recognition after 15 seasons at
Alcorn that have resulted in 335 wins. He has been
cnosen to assist maiana ^oacn tsoDDy Knignt in the selection
of the 1984 Olympic team.
Don Corbett, on the other hand, has yet to nudge his
Aggie team into the win column in either NIT or NCAA
tourney play and Corbett was an extremely disappointed
man after the Aggies' loss to Morehead. "We played too
well to lose," he said of his team, which shot a sizzling
61.5 percent from the field, making 32 of 52 shots. "We
didn't make a lot of mistakes, and we got the shot we
wanted at the end of the game. It's a very tough loss to
take."
"I thought the shot was going in," said Boyd of his
last-second misfire that, like the Aggies, came so very
close. "I got a good release."
? "X
Morehead hit 29 of 49 floor shots and converted 12 of
18 free throws while the Aggies were true on five of their
10 charity tosses.

that 1 have found a way to
be successful and 1 plan to
continue to carry it out this
way."
Judging from his record,
Poe's formula must'work.
As for his rapport with the
students, he demands
respect both on and off the
court.
For example, a group of

Carver High School Principal
Earl Parker says Poe
has been good for Carver.
"He's not just a coach,"
Parker says. "He's
available to work with any
teacher that is experiencing
any difficulty with any of
the fellows that he is working
with. I always feel that a
good coach, and Poe is one,
can do more than a teacher
or principal because they
work with the students in a
closer capacity."
Says Piggott: "He will go
the extra mile for his
youngsters. He is excited
about their performance in
places other than the gymnasium
or the basketball
court,"
Still, Poe sometimes feels
he has not done enough.

"There have been kids i

bad," Poe says. "1 see them

corners and 1 wonder, did 1
do enough for them? Could
1 have done more?"
Despite the minuses, Poe
remains proud of what he
has done. "I have 16

ball team and 10 of those
are honor students," he
says, "one was in gifted and
talented classes and another
had the grades but decided
against it, and the other six
have good, high C averages.
1 feel proud when I get the
honor sheets and can cross
out the names of my
players."
Success, in terms of
games won or respect from
the students, has been plentiful
for Poe. But
something is missing.
Though he's not one to talk
about it, he is well aware of
the lack of black head
coaches at the senior high
level locally.
..."Is the black coach extinct?"
Poe asks, apparently
referring to the fact that
there is only one black head

County. "All you have to
do is look around.

(to be a head coach)," he
says. "I've paid my dues.

coach as well as they can
now.' 1 just haven't had the
opportunity to move up.
"Here at Carver, Mr.
Parker has been fair to me
and he has given me the opportunity
to prove myself.
There just haven't been any
doors opened for black
basketball coaches and I
think the black kid misses
that. I don't feel bitter, but
1 feel I deserve a chance."
When the city-county
schools are reorganized into
a four-year high school format
this fall, Poe is hoping
he'll be one of the head
coaches. But he also has a
hidden fear about getting
such a position.
"The hardest thing about
going to a senior high
school is, what if I start to
lose?" Poe says. "I've
wondered how I will adjust
if I start to lose, but I hope
I'm mature enough to deal
with it. 1 know the time will
come when 1 will lose, but if
my kids and 1 have done the
best, then I can accept it.
Besides, I've lost before.
When I was at-Livingstone
(College) as an assistant
coach, we won about four
games in two years."
