Coaches Pick Coppin State to
Win ME AC; A&T to Finish 5th
A Coppin, Lady Bulldogs picked as league favorites
By MICHAEL JOHNSON
Chronicle Sports Writer
GREENSBORO ? During last
Friday's Operation Basketball media
day, Morgan State mens coach
Michael Holmes made an announce
ment to his fellow coaches: Don't even
bother to show up this season. '
"My goal this year is to win the
national championship, and you're
looking at the next national coach of
the year," said the third-year coach
with a straight face. "But in order to do
that, I'm going to need some players
from Coppin State, Jamiane Williams
from (North Carolina A&T coach) Jeff
Capel's team, and some of that depth
from Delaware State to come back with
me."
Such levity mixed in with some
humility and self-iqpdesty permeated
through each coach's speech during the
press conference held at the Ramada
Inn Hotel. But Holmes was probably
serious as his Bears squad was picked
to finish eighth in the nine-team confer
ence, just ahead of Bethune-Cookman,
who finished the 1992-93 season 3-24.
Coppin State was the overwhelm
ing men's choice in a voting held by the
conference s coaches and sports infor
mation directors. The defending
MEAC champions garnered the maxi
mum 288 points and all 18 first-place
votes. South Carolina State finished a
distant second with 208, followed by

Former Skating Star Hopes Running Will
Lead From Mt. Tabor to College Scholarship
By MICHAEL JOHNSON
Chronicle Sports Writer
When Justin Mclntyre decided he
wanted to give up a promising roller
skating career, no one was happier than
his mother.
It seems unusual that a parent
would do such a thing, especially when
her son had finished third in a national
tournament just three weeks prior to his
decision. But both mother and son
agreed it was the best thing to do.
"At that point, I have accomplished
everything I wanted in it and I needed
another challenge," said Justin Mclntyre,
who has found that impetus by joining
the Mt. Tabor junior varsity cross coun
try team. "I asked my mom about going
out for cross-country and she felt that I
should go out for it."
Justin has seen his sacrifice pay off,
finishing 18th overall in the City/County
Cross Country Championship Monday
and placing 2nd in the Central 3-A Con
ference Junior Varsity run last Wednes
day. More importantly, the junior sees
his move as an opportunity to parlay his
skills into a college scholarship.
Actually, Justin's decision to run
can be viewed as more of a natural pro
gression in his athletic development..
Justin started out as a member of Mt.
Tabor's track team his freshman year but
developed knee problems that forced
him to quit running the rest of the sea
son.
While doctors cguld not determine
the cause of the injuries, Justin concen
trated more on his first passion ? roller
skating. An avid skater since he was six,
Justin retained his membership in the
Piedmont USA Speed Club and compet
ed nationally.
Justin hit the apex of his roller skat
ing career this past summer in the Roller
Skating Nationals held in Pensacola, Fla.
Justin received a bronze medal for his
performance in the sophomore men's
quad category and was part of a four
man relay team that won a silver medal.
But the traveling and the gnieling
year-round schedule had begun taking a
toll on his development in other areas.
"Justin wasn't able to concentrate
on other athletic areas because the skat
ing took up so much of his time," said
Justin's mother, Sandra. "Going to com
pete on weekends and holidays through
out the year, staying in hotels and other
costs of skating were its toll. But most
importantly, I felt that his chances of
getting some sort of a scholarship would
be better if he tried another sport."
It was then Justin decided to focus
more on track and field. After finding
out his previous knee problems were
caused -by putting pressure on a previ
ously unused group of muscles, Justin
rejoined the track team last year and ran
the 800-andl600-meter events. But

Carver Falls to Central,
Parkland Finally Wins
? Mt. Tabor vs. Reynolds tonight
By MICHAEL JOHNSON
Chronicle Sports Writer
Carver could not find a way to
stop neither High Point Central
quarterback Andre Weathers nor an
opportunistic Black Bison defense
during a 33-8 defeat in jayvee
action last week.
Central put the game out of
reach in the first half, scoring 27
unanswered points to take a 27-0
halftime lead. Weathers ran for 108
yards in the half, with most of his
yardage coming on two long scor
ing runs. The Bison defense also
scored twice and held Carver to
only 23 yards in the opening half.
On the second play of scrim
mage, the freshman quarterback
found a seam in the Yellow Jacket
defense and ran 63 yards untouched
in the end zone to put Central ahead
7-0.
A stalled Carver drive led to a
punt, where Weathers ran in anoth
er score from 32 yards to put High
Point ahead 14-0 with 5:20 left in
the first period. Central closed out
the scoring rush for the half in the
second stanza when Michael Camp
bell and Atari Burke ran in two
Joshua Reid fumbles for runs of 29
and 39 yards, respectively.
"We just couldn't stop them at
the line when we had to and they
made the plays," said Carver coach
Mike Pennington, whose team fell
to 1-8.
Carver's only score in the con
test came when Travis Williams ran
in from six yards midway in the
third quarter to account for the
game's final tally. Williams was
ejected late in the contest for a per
sonal foul and will miss the rest of
the season.
In other jayvee action, High
Point Andrews clinched the North
t Piedmont 3-A Conference title by
routing Trinity 35-0. The win
moved Andrews to 9-0 while Trini
ty dropped to 5-4.
Greensboro Grimsley took a
33-13 win over North Forsyth to
pull its record even at 5-5. Grimsley
quarterback Ron Wall completed 10
of 18 passes for 220 yards and a pair
of touchdowns while Lamont
