"mmmmmmmmmmmmmtmmmmrnmmmmmmm Scope From Page B4 much worse than they have the past couple of seasons. Two promising juniors Kevin Besecker and Jerome Morgan could figure in Hawkins' plans, but 6-4 Derrick Byers, a freshman has the most potential of any Titan since Norton Barnhill (remember him?). Still, the team to watch this season will be North Forsyth. After weathering through last season, Coach Olon Shuler should have plenty to smile about. With 6-7 Scottie Johnson and 6-5 David Carlvle to ao alone with Howard, the only question marks are at the guard positions. In Howard, the Vikings have the most talented player to come out of Winston-Salem in a long while. With the physical tools he possesses, Howard can determine the outcome of North's season.. In addition to that, a good season from Howard will put him closer to signing with a major college power. While Howard comes to the 4-A level with an enormous advance billing, seniors Christian and Mickens could hook onto big time programs with outstanding years. Overall, the 84-85 season will be a competitive one. No one team or player should dominate. Insldo Stuff WakeFoi By DICK DEVENZIO Syndicated Columnist How does Coach Carl Tacy manage to keep Wake consistently comnetitive in the ACC? Wake can rarely get a top studentathlete if Duke wants him, can never get an all-American prospect over Carolina, and cannot compete for the good , athlete/borderline student that often goes to State. Last year, nevertheless, Watodv got into the final eight in the nation, tying for third in the ACC and beating DePaul before finally losing to Houston in the NCAA playoffs. This year, the effects of not having a home court, of practicing in an on-campus "high school" gym, and of not having the full quota of players (eleven are currently on the roster) will be obvious in the win-loss column. If Wake can eke out a victory I tVt/*^ _ ! J 1 I over urvv* in nua-ucccmocr, anu get Wins in their comparatively easy non-conference games, they may be able to keep their confidence - a great equalizer in sports - and play beyond their ability for awhile. Assistant Coach Mark Friedinger is one who tries to bolster confidence. He's an optimist. He points to the team's unsurpassed forward, Kenny Green (a proven star pointmaker). He cites the ball handling goyoower of tiny "Mugsy" Bogxtes^gnd the overall ability of off-guard Delaney Rudd. He concentrates on the good things that can happen, and in practice Striking a balance, and being more of a cricizfcr (teams need both), the other assistant, Ernie Nestor, showed HIS sense of desperation on the practice floor, one time screaming, almost pleading, with Delaney Rudd "GET IN HIS FACE, PRESSURE HIM, GET HIM." Coaches realize, better than players, what they are up against. The players don't see the other schools practicing. They get their confidence and their sense of progress from their intra-squad scrimmages. And at Wake, there just isn't the competition. Carl Tacy remains calm and philosophical, determined to do his best and hope for a banher recruiting year, but I think he would be justified in demonstrating the sense of desperation he must inevitably feel. It is more than simply the recent loss of forward Todd May, who had star potential but hasn't been counted on because of his recurring injuries. (Even if he Mb Shoe-Strlng Tack LaMar Joyner of the Tiny Indian , dage, but can't escape the ti player (photo by James Parker) rest: A lean 1 does return to the team, it is doubtful he will be able to play at full strength.) Throughout the practice I saw, : 1.1 f:iI ?I jdiKiiauiHici ^ iiucu liic gym wiiii noise as workmen completed construction on the roof. It had to be distracting, but I get the feeling that Tacy isn't the big boss at Wake (or sports are not so highly elevated in the. academic community) such that he can go ranauthority. Tacy takes the less-than-ideal conditions in stride ? it's part of the deal at W$ke - and he makes the best of it. The practice was limited anyway. The team is already ailing, "beat up" so to speak, and in need of a rest - and it is only mid-November. When Delaney Rudd seemed once to badly twist an ankle on a layup, .The gym got quiet. (Even the jackhammers stopped, I think.) Wake can't afford to lose anyone to injury. If the players truly understood what they are facing, I wonder if Rudd and Green and Bogues would have come to practice just a minute before the scheduled starting time. They are going to need a tremendous amount of extra effort, and a very special ef Black Collegi From Page B4 iiiiiiimmtiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiimiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiii game of the season ~ including ...iliiee ,?stai tei&?were Jicavcd _ "^because they curfew rules.
