Alumni esca
on dunk at t

^naries "runkin" Douthit
grabbed a loose ball and jammed
it through the hoop at the buzzer
to give the Alumni team a
102-100 victory over the Carver
Summer League All-Stars last
Thursday night.
Douthit's dunk climaxed an
electrifying finish and allowed
their younger, less^gxperienced
counterparts.
"When I got the ball, the only
thing 1 thought of was to go to
the basket the best way I know
how," said Douthit, who outlept
three opponents with his 42-inch
vertical jump to notch the winning
score.
"Those boys can really play,"
Douthit said of the feisty AllStars.
"They are one of the best
all-star teams anywhere. We
didn't believe thev would he as
tough as they were, but they
showed a lot of fight."
Former Harlem Globetrotter
Robert Little, who at 6-8 was
matched against 6-9 Robert Mcllwaine,
had similar thoughts on
the play of the young team.
"These are the best basketball
players in the city," Little said.
"as a wnole, you couldn't get a
better squad. They are a good
group of kids. They are willing to
listen to anyone that tries to help
them."
Summer League director
HansdlgHcntz said he was deeply
moved by his team's performance
and by the fact that the team
voted to give him the Most
Valuable Player Trophy.

as first thought if several
newcomers produce. "James
Burch (of Parkland High School)
is as good as we thought when we
recruited him," Hayes said of the
rookie linebacker. "He's a good
hitter and he'll play early.
"We have three veteran
linebackers returning so we'll be
pretty solid," Hayes continued.
"Our line looks strong with
(Tim) Piatt, (Mike) Warren and
(Dan) Bryson".
In the secondary, Hayes ex
pects the presence of 6-3,
230-pound Derrick Beasley to be
a settling force. "Derrick is a
tough strong safety," Hayes said
of his prize sophomore. "He's
big and strong and he also has
speed (4.5 over 40 yards).
Junior free safety Bruce
Dunlap wilkako^be counted upon
backfield, as will Angelo Spruill.
Additional help will be provided
by frosh Anthony Blaylock and
Raymond Puryear.
While Hayes has added a host
of talented freshmen, he also
hired two new assistants who
have a wealth of experience.
Wylie Harris, former head coach
at Johnson C. Smith, is the
Rams' new defensive line coacn
and Joe Godette, formerly of
East Carolina, handles (he tight
ends and linebackers.
"Wylie has a lot of coaching
ability," said Hayes. "We've
always been good friends, but
we've never been on the same side
of the ball, I'm very pleased to
have him here working with us."
Another wrinkle Hayes is toying
with is putting the ball in the
air more this season. The Rams'
success passing last year helped
open up their running game and
Hayes said a stronger aerial attack
may keep opposing teams
from stacking their defensive
alignments to stop WSSU's
league-leading "T-Bone"-rushing
attack.

deficit in the last five
minutes to take the lead.
"Everybody on the team played
well. Although it's a little
frustrating to lose such a wellplayed
game, I'm proud of what
these kids did."
Hentz's tean^was paced by the
efforts of Brian Howard, Jeff
Patton, Anthony Sides and Jack
Maxwell down the stretch,

casion against the veteran Alumni
team, which also featured
former high school standouts
Sydney Wilkins, Vincent Brown
and Mike "Pop Bottle" Thomas.
"This is the best group of
young men that 1 have ever worked
with," said Hentz, who formed
the league five years ago.
"They were eager to learn; they
hustled and worked hard to improve
during the year.
"I thought Jeff Patton had an
I ? I t
ouisianaing game, said nentz
of the former Forsyth Country
Day School eager. "Sides had a
good game and Bryan Howard
took control inside for us."
Both teams were eager to gain
an early advantage; however,
neither could pull away from the
other. After the Alumni team got
off to a good start, the All-Stars
fought back to take a 49-48 lead

But the Alumni looked as they
would put away the youngsters
when they ran off eight
unanswered points to start the second
half.
Thomas and Brown (who plays
at Gardner Webb), led the Alumni
barrage and, at the 13-minute
mark, the Alumni led 69-59.

and his rim-shattering slam with
nine minutes remaining brought
his team within five at 78-73.
At that point, Hentz inserted
Sides, Maxwell and Patton for
starters Kenny Miekens, Robert
Mcllwaine and Leak.
The subs made their presence
known from the outset and Pat
ton s j5-toot bomb closed the
gap to 79-76 with six minutes left.
Patton's long-range shooting
helped the All-Stars stay close.
The game see-sawed until 27
seconds remained and the Alumteam,
took a three-point advantage
on Brown's free throws.

However, the upstart All-Stars
refused to throw in the towel.
Howard quickly maneuvered

team within one with 20 seconds
remaining.
The All-Stars then looked to
have the game won when Reid

team's spread offense and was
credited with two points after
Thomas goaltendcd his layup
with only seven seconds on the t
clock.
But Douthit retrieved an errant
pass on the Alumni team's in
