But the Yellow Jackets' first homecoming since 1969 was jubilant nonetheless, as they posted a 28-12 win over the talented Bobcats. The unranked Yellow Jackets, tied with topranked Greensboro Page for first in the Metro 4-A Conference, rolled to a 28-0 first-half lead. The defense set up two of the scores, the passing game a third and field position the fourth. "I think we got a little comfortable with a fourtouchdown lead," said Coach Jim Bovender, whose team improved to 2-0 in the Metro and 6-1 overall. "That's only the second team to score on us (West beat Carver 21-8). 1 told them at halftime, 'You're in 4-A now and lots of people are going to score on you.' " Glenn saved face by marching 56 yards in eight plays just before halftime. The Bobcats received key runs of 16 yards from Charlie Harris and 15 yards from Randy Jones. Harris capped the drive with a half-yard dive. Coach A1 Hooker's team, which entered the game in a three-way tie with Carver and Page for first place, added its second touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 68-yard pass from Tim McCann to Mario Patterson. "We wanted to stop them at 21-0," Hooker said. "But they got the momentum and just kept going. In all of Carver's games, it's either been real close or they've blown people out." In part, this mini-blowout hichlichted the Yellow Jackets' improved offense.

Keith Torrence ha I _ Sports Beat AI beck: Jordan cc By DAVID BULLA Chronicle Sports Editor * GREENSBORO - Stan Albeck stood in the Chicago Bulls' locker room and quietly proclaimed that Michael Jordan's rookie season was only the epiphany. The new Bull coach hopes Jordan's sophomore season in the National Basketball Association will find the 6-foot-6 guard ascending to new heights. "Once he learns the game is easier for him, he will move to another plateau, if there is one," said Albeck, the man Bulls' owner Jerry Reinsdorf has entrusted with making the most of the Jordan years in Chicago. Albeck, who came over from the New Jersey Nets in the offseason, was suggesting that there might be a way to get more out of Jordan, who averaged a superhuman combination of 28.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.39 steals last season. Only Boston's Larry Bird put together a better season, averaging 28.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists. Appropriately, Jordan was the NBA Rookie of the Year and Bird the Player of the Year. If Albeck succeeds in extracting more from Jordan, the former two-time college Player of the Year at North Carolina will certainly be the most valuable player in the NBA. Although the Bulls finished the preseason with their eighth loss in as many outings last Sunday night, Jordan had a game in keeping with his . rookie season. He totaled 31 points, six steals and four assists in the Bulls' 119-112 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. As if to show how well he has adjusted to the big-time game, Jordan was critical of his performance.
