Prep Basketball Vikings: By DAVID BULLA I Chronicle Sports Editor I Reporters who regularly cover I Atlantic Coast Conference I basketball know that former of- I ficial Lou Bello, now a Raleigh | ^ ^ r ? a^itstasier, oitcn asks coaches a hard question after games: Why did one team shoot so many more free throws than the other? The winning coaches, usually embarrassed, do their best to duck Bello's question. The losers go head-long into an off-therecord tirade on the unfairness of officiating, claiming that getting a fair shake is like trying to climb a hill of feathers. Yet, there are no easy answers. Last Friday night, disparities in foul shots figured in a couple of county high school games. In North's homecourt 71-58 win over Carver, the Vikings made 25 of 33 free throws. The Yellow T~ -I? " " ~ * jawKcis wcni 10 tne une 10 times and made six. In East's 59-54 road upset of Greensboro Page, the Eagles made 27 of 46 charity tosses. The Pirates were eight of 18. Those kind of differences left losing coaches and players pondering the futility of their game. "I couldn't believe it," mused Carver guard Tim Douthit. 14 North was in the one-and-one with 5:53 left in the first quarter. That's the earliest I*ve_ever seen auyuuc in ine oonus.'* Yellow Jacket Coach Alfred I Poe does not believe in criticizing 1 the officials. However, Poe I wondered just what he was supposed to tell his players. "Look, North's a great team and we would have had enough trouble beating them even up," he said. "They shot 33 free throws and we shot 10. Does that mean they played perfect defense and we didn't? How are you going to beat a team that shoots 23 more free throws than you do?" The latest North-Carver game was a case of second verse, same as the first. In a 67-53 win at Carver Jan. 10, the Vikings shot 26 free throws, compared to nine by the Yellow Jackets. But the free throw disparity was not Poe's only plague. Carver played without point guard Corey Belton, who suffered a severe ankle sprain two weeks ago and has been in a cast ever since. He was expected to have it removed this week. However, he may not able to play for at least two more weeks. "We don't have a bad ballclub," said Poe, whose team has lost-four of its last six. "We haven't had our backcourt together more than seven times at ail season. 11m missed several Tuesday night's games not Included.

We haven't had any continuity in our offense because of those injuries." The Yellow Jackets, who dropped to 1-5 in the Metro Conference and 9-8 overall, had a formidable game plan for North. Poe used a big starting lineup of 6-foot-6 Ben Miller* 6-5 Fernando Horn and 6-4 Ray Agnew. Douthit and Patrick Dozier manned the guard positions. It seemed like a workable strateav hut the free throw situation rendered it superfluous. For North, the game represented an opportunity to return to the ranks of the winners after last Tuesday night's 71-65 loss at Greensboro Page. The Vikings did not disappoint Coach Olon Shuler, whose club regained a share of the Metro Conference lead with Page with a 5-1 record. North took a 17-2 overall mark into Tuesday night's game at East. "We had a couple of days of hard practices, and had to come back and play good," said North Central Piedmont 4-A BOYS ~ Conf.
