Ilones, Schaefer [Lead Carver Past Trinity By JEROME RICHARD \(^onicle Sports Editor Terri Jones laced four hits and Bonnie Schaefer three to lead Carver High School’s 19-hit attack as the Yellow Jackets , s^ng Trinity 15-4 April 4 in f l^rth Piedmont 3-A Conference I varsity softball at Carver. Jones was 4-4 at the plate with a home run, triple and three RBI bat ting third in the Yellow Jacket line up. Schaefer, Carv er’s leadoff hitter, was 3-4 and drove a run and scored three times. The 19 hits continued a ,me-by-game hitting improve- |ent by the Yellow Jackets, who ive had five, nine and 12 hits in leir last three games. “We’ve been working on our lotting,” Carver coach Tonya vanaugh said. “A lot of our Is play fast-pitch softball and ley are just starting to get their timing down in slow-pitch. “We’ve been practicing our hitting and swinging at better pitches lately. We’ve been going jfter pitches that were not at the plate.” Jones didn’t go after any bad pitches against Trinity as she feted little time tying the score after the Bulldogs jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. Her home run over the left cen- terfielder’s head brought in Schaefer and set the Jackets on the road to victory. Carver came back in the sec- jfiltd with six more runs to take a commanding 8-2 lead. Singles hy Mandy Bowden, Laura Green, Schaefer and Amy Kleean sparked the outburst, the iJjtter two driving in a run apiece, jones hit a single that Trinity ftated like a hot potato, throw- ■ttg it all over the field, allowing four runs to score. Emily Hughes’ home run in foe top of the third cut the lead fo 8-3 before Carver put the same out of reach with four runs bottom of the inning, again with the help of shoddy Wensebythe Bulldogs.

Young’s side arm delivery had McMichael off balance all day as he struckout eight batters and walked two. The most bat ters he faced in any inning was five as the Viking defense was flawless behind him. The only innings Young was threatened was the second and sixth. In the second he walked leadoff batter Chad Plantz and gave up a single to Cliff Williams, the opposing pitcher, to start the inning before settling down and getting the next three batters out. Young faced five batters in the sixth when he sur rendered back-to-back singles to lead off the inning before two force plays and a strike out got him out of the frame. “He did a good job,” North Forsyth coach Kent Edwards said of Young. “This was just his second start.

Common Strategy Lifts The Hosiery A Top seed holds ojf Sara Lee, 67-59, for Wednesday Morning tourney championship By JEROME RICHARD Chronicle Sports Editor Recreational basketball is gener ally known more for a run and gun style of play than strategy. Ask a guy to run wind sprints and he’s liable to tell you to take a trip down under. Ask him to run up and down the court dribbling a basketball and away he goes. Strategy in recreational bas ketball? What’s that? Nevertheless, it was strategy, an old-fashion version made famous in the Tar Heel Photo by Richard Serge The Hosiery scored in transition, but employed a different strategy late in in the game to hold off Sara Lee for the tournament championship of the Wednesday Morning Adult Basketball League. State, that helped The Hosiery hold off Sara Lee in the waning seconds of the Wednesday Morning Adult Basketball ' League tourna ment champi onship game and pull out a 67-59 vic tory at Hanes Hosiery Gym April 5. There was plenty of running and gunning up and down the court by both teams, but in crunch time The Hosiery demonstrated remarkable constraint executing their delay game. They would have made the godfather of the delay game, Dean Smith, proud. The top-seeded Hosiery led No. 2 Sara Lee 62-59 with less than two minutes to play when they went to the delay game after a Sara Lee time out. Sara Lee missed a jump shot and a one-and-one when play resumed before The Hosiery went on a free throw shooting binge in the last 52 seconds, sinking 5 of 6 attempts for the final score. The delay game is used in col lege basketball as frequently as Dick Vitale moves his motor mouth, but for a recreational team to pull it off successfully is as unlikely as Vitale keeping quiet. Hosiery coach Moochie Jefferies had no hesitation though about employing the strategy. “I look for the players to make the free throws in those situations,” he said standing courtside with the championship trophy, which he said will go to the widow of Calvin Eaton. Eaton played for The Hosiery last year when it won its first title. He died of a heart attack last summer. “Many of these players played col lege ball. “I look for the players to make the free throws in those situations.” -Moochie Jefferies so they know what to do in different situations. Most know at crunch time to play together. I would let anyone of them take my last shot.” Three different Hosiery players hit foul shots in the last 52 seconds. Red McCummings started the spree by canning a one-and-one for a 64-59 lead. Leroy Williams hit two shots with 28 seconds remaining and 12 seconds later Mike Griffin hit the front end of a one-and-one for the final score. The Hosiery hit 8 of 9 free throw attempts in the final quar ter as four different players went to the line, an indication of The Hosiery’s depth and balance. Eight players scored for the win ners, led by Williams and Nick see COMMON page 19 Paul’s Shot at Buzzer Lifts Hornets fielde clearing the bases for a see JONES page 22 Chris Paul’s three-point play at the buzzer lifted the Central YMCA 11-and-under Junior Hor nets to the championship of the Jamestown Invitational Tourna ment March 31 with a 50-47 win over the Windsor Rams. Paul’s shot came after team mate Alex Yates rebounded a missed free throw by the Rams with 4.4 seconds to play and the score tied at 47. Yates fired the ball to Paul, who drilled the win ning shot and was fouled in the process. He sank the free throw to complete the three-point play and ensure the title. The Hornets trailed by eight points with three minutes remain ing when Jamaal Conley’s 3- pointer ignited the Hornets’ comeback. Josh Bogard led the Hornets in scoring with 17 points. The championship of the Jamestown tournament was the second in as many tries for the Junior Hornets. They won the South Field Basketball Tourna ment April 2 with a 43-34 victory over the Dream Team of Jack sonville, Florida as Paul scored a game-high 29 points. i w' Photo by Laura Markland The Winston-Salem Warthogs won their season opener 4-1 April 6.
