Pond Giants win four of six, record now stands at 10-4 By Chronicle Staff Winston-Salem's Pond Giants had a highly productive week, winning four of six games on the road to run their season's record to 10-4. The PC i s won twice against the Danville All-Stars and added victories against Lenoir's 0 1 1 erTTSn chMh-A i r y, But on Sunday, Lenior got even by winning a doublehead er on its home field. The Giants opened last week's play with an 8-5 victo ry, over the Oilers. Brian Boc colis delivered the big blow courtesy of his two-run homer. Jason Wilkes was the winning pitcher. Two nights later, the PGs smacked Mt. Airy's Shockers, AAU b'ball Continued From Page B1 The AAU developed the Complete Athlete Seminar to ensure that basketball players who play AAU ball learn more than just hoop skills. The main focus of this semi nar is to encourage athletes to stay free of drugs and develop a conscientious outlook about aca demics. Attendance for this sem inar is mandatory. All teams attending this iiationaMourna ment are assigned a designated time to attend the seminar. The program is divided into two sections ? the first deals with illegal substances and their abuse; the second section is devoted to academics. ' Rogers is an especially attractive choice as a guest speaker for this seminar. Thred years ago, he played in the AAU tournament (with Winston Lake) and was the hands down pick as North Carolina High School , was also ranked among the top 15 high school players in the nation that year by USA Today . But even with all those glit tering credentials, getting in school was not an automatic for Rogers. He had the necessary grades, but fell short on his SAT score. In spite of that, Rogers per severed. It took him four tries, ' but he finally passed and signed with Wake Forest. Three years later, he's still in school, making the grade and continuing to blos som as one of college round ball's premier power forwards. Indeed, Rogers knows the score and is an excellent exam ple that one can overcome obsta cles, regardless of what those obstacles arc. AAU notes North Carolina will have four teams playing in the 17s nationals. In addition to the Win ton Lake team, the state will be represented by the Charlotte Royals, the Charlotte Soncis and the Triangle Titans out of Raleigh-Durham. Basketball will be a non stop affair during tourney time (July 18-25). Pool play will take place from July 19-21. Pool play winners will advance to the Final 16 which will be played July 22 - 24, with the championship game being played on July 25. In the meantime, those teams losing in pool play will still be in action as part of the Tar Heel Shoot-Out that will take place at the Coliseum Annex from July 22- 24. Curly Neal, a former star with the Harlem Globetrotters, will put on a ball handling exhi bition as part of the Dribble-A Thon on July 18 at the Hanes Hoisery Softball Complex. i Chronicle Sports will run more specifics about the Drib-? ble-A-Thon and other tourna-j ment special events in thq upcoming weeks. | UPCOMING GAMES (All games played at Ernie Shore Field) TOMORROW Raleigh Caps vs. Pond Giants @ 7:30 p.m. SATURDAY Mt.
