"They're both from my neighborhood and v\e see each other a lot at home," said Yaughan. 44lt \se had lost to them, 1 would have had to hear them talk a lot of junk w hen I get home." With sophomore Linwood Gorham scoring from the outside, Eugene Penick and Vaughan controlling play on the boards and freshman point guard Haywood Workman directing the offense, the Rams jumped to an early 20-12 lead with 11:09 left in the first half against the favored 41 fid* ^nrrdrlrart" 14 of the Rams* first 20 points. However, Bear Coach Warren Reynolds countered by inserting Lacy, the CIAA's second-leading scorer (who didn't start because of a badly bruised thigh) into the lineup. After Lacy entered the game at the 11:09 mark, he scored 14 points to bring his team to within three, 35-32, at the end of the half. Had it not been for the inspired q play of Hooper during Lacy's scoring spree, the Rams might nave lost their lead. Hooper, who replaced Steve Hood midway through the first half, almost matched Lacv Doint for noint. helping preserve the Rams' working margin by scoring their final 10 points of the first half. The Rams came out swiftly to start the second half, scoring five straight points to widen the margin to 40-32. Shaw finally got on the board with 16:20 left on Andre Shepard's jumper. The Rams threatened to put the game away with a six-point spurt minutes later, talcing a 54-42 lead with 10:44 left. But, with Wayne Dubose working free inside and Lacy pouring it in from the perimeter, the Bears cut the WSSU lead to iiiiimiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiimiimiimiiiiimmiii jfcutledge Cot lllltHIIIHtllltlillllHIHtHHIIIIIKUIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIII material to win its second conference crown in as many years, Jackson anH to rrmtinn#? tr\ J ^ 1 v v/ ^WltViltUW IV build a tradition. The Royals are led in scoring by 6-3 guard Wayne Smith, an Army veteran who played local high school basketball before joining the military. "Wayne is the most versatile athlete on the team," says Jackson. "He's the type of player "^vcry- coac^iwants to have. He's like a John R&vlicek because he K can do so many things." Through 15 games, Smith is averaging 19.5 points and five rebounds a game. "He's one of the strongest defensive players and our best of fensive player," says Jackson. "Wayne was all-conference last year and he'll probably be allconference again this season." Another standout for the Royals is Monty Mitchell, a point guard. Like Smith, Mitchell is a veteran and a second-year player . "Monty is a good ball handler," says Jackson. "He's also a good defensive player." Derric White, a 6-5 center, is the Royals' strongest inside player. White has been the team's top rebounder for the past two years. The Royals also have one of the finest outside shooters in the conference in 6-3 forward Calvin Edwards. "Calvin is the purest shooter on the team," says Jackson. "Anytime someone plays a zone against us we're not ? wi i ivu auuui ii. Defensively, the Royals are led by forward Ben Piggot. "Ben is our intimidator," Jackson says. "He plays with a lot of intensity." Another player expected to play a major role for the Royals this year is Reggie Lampkins, a former Reynolds High School standout. "Reggie could be the best player on the team if we had the time to work with him,M says Jackson. "We need to get him to the point where he can muscle inside for us."

"We only get to practice twice a week at the most," says Jackson. "Most of the players on the team either work during the day and go to school at night or either they work at night and go to school during the day. It's really hard to schedule a practice when everyone can make it." One way to eliminate that, ac cording to Jackson, is to recruit players straight out of high W .J..-Z.:? .^Mf ...
