VNC's guard Donald Williams is on* of the top weapons in the fourth-ranked Tarheels' arsenal. The defend - ing national champions will be one of four schools in the Diet Pepsi Tournament of Champions Dec . 4-5. JV Tournament from page B 1 Parkland and Reynolds committed to similar tournaments outside Forsyth County. The local schools will be Mt. Tabor, Carver, Glenn, East Forsyth and North Forsyth high schools, with High Point Andrews and Dudley and Smith high schools of Greensboro round ing out the field. Parkland and Reynolds, how ever, have committed to play in next year's event, which Howard said could possibly be moved to a neutral site in the near future. Howard said he would like to see a similar situation to that of the Frank Spencer varsity tournament, which is played at the Lawrence Joel Coli seum annex building. Wynn says the continued sup port by the coaches has been esseqrs tial during the tournament initial year. He said the tournament is ben eficial to the junior varsity teams because it gives them a look-see of other teams before the start of the regular conference schedule. "It's at the end of most team's non-conference schedule, so most teams will be in the flow of compe tition," Wynn said. "It also gives some of the younger players a taste of what a tournament is like before they move to the varsity level." The Sportsmen Club will select the All-Tournament Team at the conclusion of the three-day event. The tournament also comes at a time of the year when players go through a period of inactivity. Teams that do not participate in ySuch tournaments could spend as long as a month between games. Such a lapse between school-related activities is what concerned Howard and prompted him to develop the tournament. "Most of these schools do not have the financial resources to send a team to another county to play. So these kids will be out on the street," Howard said. "This tournament will close that gap of idle time some what. "This is also the time of the year when parents are off for the holidays and they are able to see their sons play for what for may be the first time this year," Howard said. "Parents are very interested in the development of their children's social activities and it helps the kids' self-confidence when they see their parents in the stand." Crosby Scholars Program Awards Students College Financial Aid Last November, The Crosby Scholars Program announced its mission to assure that every quali fied high school graduate in Forsyth County have an opportunity to pursue successful at two pilot high school in the Winston Salem/Forsyth County System, Carver and Glenn. Through The Crosby Scholars Program, 73 members of the Class of 1993 were awarded a total of $338,849 to further their education. Of this total, S3 1,750 were last dol lar grants paid directly from The Crosby Scholars fund to 41 stu dents. The balance was obtained through other financial aid sources. This was the results of efforts made throughout the school year which included sponsoring 23 financial aid workshops and bringing college and trade school representatives on campus to discuss provided trained volunteers to act advocated for Scholars and their parents with col lege admissions and placement test ing personnel. Based on this year's success. The Crosby Program will expand into Parkland, East and West Forsyth High School for the 1993 1994 school year. The program will also be operating in Hill, Petree, Kennedy, Walkertown, Philo and Mineral Springs middle schools. The Scholars Program will begin operating in Reynolds, West, Inde pendence, Mt. Tabor and South Park High Schools in fall of 1994. The program will continue to expand each year until its mission is fully realized. The Crosby Scholar Program was created by an alliance among The Crosby Foundation, The Win ston-Salem Foundation, the Win ston - Salem/Forsyth County Schools and the Kate B. Reynolds Poor and Needy Trust. "In addition to the financial assistance provided by last-dollar grants to qualified stu dents and counseling on college admissions and financial aid, the program uses mentors and commu nity service opportunities to encour age younger students to stay in school," said Ravonda Dalton Rann, the Program Director. "The entire program is designed to assure students from an early age that assistance is available for them to attend college, giving them hope for the future." A keystone of The Scholar Pro gram is that each scholar agrees to remain drug free and undergo peri odic drug screening. This is a natur al outgrowth for The Crosby, which has always focused its charitable efforts on drug education and abuse prevention. Other programs that are part of The Crosby Partnership for a Drug Free Community include The Center for a Drug Free Workplace, administered by the Greater Win ston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, and Vision '94 at Carver High School, a pilot drug abuse preven tion program that emphasized com munity involvement and communi ty service. The Crosby Foundation also recently provided a $40,000 grant to the Winston-Salem Police Department to help continue the DONT (Drug Offender Need Treat ment) Program. Since moving to North Caroli na in 1986, The Crosby Tournament has raised over $10 million for charities, with more than half of the total going to support drug educa tion and abuse prevention pro grams.
