(22.4).
In the 400, Dave Adair is
coming on strong as the nationals
approach. The rising junior at
Charlotte Garringer blitzed the
field by turning in a 47.9 to win.

readiness For Alabama

Big Apple Basketball
Bad Boys stomp Flames, 132-92
- By Chfonicle Staff ?
The Bad Boys and the Celtics
continue to control the top spot in
the Big Apple Basketball League
after three weeks of play. The two
teams enter week four with 3-0
records.
Here's how the action took
place last weekend at the Hanes
Hoisery Recreation Center.
Bad Boys in control
The Bad Boys ran a scoring
clinic on the Flames, inflicting
much psychological damage in
the process, burying them to the
tune of 132-92. The offensive
avalanche started in the first half
and continued throughout the con
test. The winners held a huge 78
49 lead at intermission.
Mike Thomas paced the win
ners with 31 points, followed by
Melvin Little's 22, plus 17 points
from Louis Lowery. Rob Little
contributed 15 points, Kenny
Mickens added 14 and Steve
Grimes came through with 10 for
the victors.
The Flame got too little too
late in terms of the final score.
Rodney Scott led their offense
with 32 points. Walt Hutchinson
and Jitter Edwards scored 14 and
12 points respectively. Robert
Hairston and Kevin Edwards
ended the game with 10 points
each.
Raiders deck Rams
Pierrcs Raiders stuck it to the
Rams in the second half of play to
claim a 100-76 win. At the end of
the first half, the game had been
closely contested with the Rams
holding a slight 46-44 lead."
But bad free throw shooting
bccamc the Rams Achilles heel
like it has all season. They were
outscored 56-30 after the break.
Barry Chunn hummed his
shots sweetly, lighting up the
scoreboard for 40 points. Danny
Womack enjoyed a productive
game by adding 21 points and
Scoot Keller chipped in with 13.
Pierre Brown closed out the dou
ble digit scoring with 10 points.
Leon Williams led the Rams
in defeat with 26 points. Waldo
Hauser was next with 15 and
Harold Martin had 12. Michael
t
Leggctte finished with 11 points.
Celts hold on
The Celtics took a 10 point
lead at the half, then had to hold
off Say No in taking a 92-88 win.
Vincent Brown continued his hot
shooting from the outside. He tal
lied 35 points for the Celts while
Flaff Stanfield added 17. Tony
Searcy followed up with 16.
Mike Jones carried the
offense for Say No, ending up
with 24 points. James Johnson tal
lied 15 and Rozelle Barnes had
12. Rounding out the top scorers
for Say No were Dwayne Aikens
(11 points) and Cornelius Holmes
(10 points).
No contest
The game scheduled between
Chris' Crushers and the Truth was
called a no contest because neither
team had enough players available
to play at the start of the game.
Neither team will be charged with
a loss on their respective records,
said league commissioner Walter
Funderburk.
