had so much to offer.

"He was certainly an exam

your student-athletes to
exemplify."

Shawn W'illiford relied on his elusiveness in the open field to create big plays
for Parkland's junior varsity team. The 5-6, 150-pound freshman scored 10
of his touchdowns on kick returns.
CIAA Must Solve Growing Pains
from page 17
ahead to accomplish them."
But unlike Norfolk State
and Hampton it appears that
the CIAA's leadership isn't
looking to the future. Even
though the CIAA knew at
least two years ago of Hamp
ton's plans it has yet to for
mally discuss plans to add any
new institutions to its con
stituency.
The loss of Hampton seri
ously affected this year's tour
nament. Although it didn't
make an impact on attendence,
this year's tournament format
had to be modified. Instead of
awarding a bye to only the
regular season champions of
each division, the conference
awarded a bye to the team
with the second best division
al rgrnrH
With three byes, both the
men's and women's tourna
ment alignment was changed
drastically. Unlike past sea
sons when each first round
game pitted teams from the
Northern Division against
teams from the Southern Divi
sion. this year two teams from
each division met in the opend
ing round of the tournament in
both the men's and women's
tournament.
In the women's tourna
ment. two Northern Division
teams met. Virginia State was
forced to square off against St.
Paul's in the opening round.
The same thing happened in
the men's tournament. Win
ston-Salem State of the South
ern Division was forced to
play Shaw, the runnerup in the
Southern Di-vision in the
opening round.
Those changes in the tour
nament might not raise any
eyebrows. But the changes in
store for the tournament might
change the outlook for the
tournament in ttoe future when
the number of CIAA programs
drops to 12.
Not to mention t h e
prospect Norfolk State's faith
ful fans, who might just be the
most loyal and voiciferous in
the CIAA. Who will pick up
the ticket-buying slack when
the Spartans move to the
ME AC?
Thus far there has only
been a little idle gossip on the
future plans possible replace
ments. The only schools that
have been mentioned are
Clark-Atlanta, Morris Brown
and Morehouse. None of the
three have the type of athletic
tradition that CIAA schools
carry. Also none of the
Atlanta-based schools have
the fan appeal or drawing
power that Hampton and Nor
folk State brought to the table.
Just where the CIAA will
look for potential members
remains a mystery. The
CI A As front office has kept a
tight lid on its future plans.
fans deserve more. Most of
them know about the CIAAs
humble beginnings and they
shoujd know where it is going
in the future as well.
Winston Lake AAU Gearing Up For New Season
from page 17
coaches recruit and it puts a lot
of pressure on the kids to per
form well."
For the past three years the
17-and-under national champi
onship was held in Winston
Salem and Winston Lake,
served as the host team. This
son the championship will
be pTt*ye4jn Charlotte.
The top three teams from
the state will be invited to play
in the tournament.
Although the Lakers will
be a longshot, Brown said his
team does have a chance of
making it to the tournament.
"We really haven't finished
putting the team together but 1
expect to have a young team."
he said. We're going to be
competitive. I think we have
enough talent around here even
with the new teams to put
some good talent on the court.
The Lakers tune up for the
state tournament by participat
ing in the High Point Invita
tional Tournament on March
29. 30 and 31. The following
week the team participates in
an invitational tournament in
Charlotte, which will feature
many of the top AAU teams in
the southeast. Brown said the
team should then be prepared
to begin pool play in the state
tournament the following week
in Charlotte.
Cook Seventh Graders Finish With School's First Undefeated Record

wanted to do well."
Another of the team's
strengths was its defense.
Cook finished the season with
a 49.2 scoring average per
game and limited its oppo
nents to only 28.3. The team
relied on its 2-3 zone as the
base defense, but also threw in
some 2-1-2 for good measure.
Penn said the team also mixed
up full-court and three-quarter
pressure defense with its half
court zone packages.
"We really got after peo
ple," Penn said. "The kids
liked playing defense and that
helped us get into the transi
tion game. We scored a lot of
points off of steals and
turnovers. We shot a lot of
layups."
Depth was also one of the
assets that paid dividends dur
ing the course of the season.
Penn said he inserted his
"Gold Team", a unit featuring
five reserves to wear down
opposing teams.
Penn used six players on
the "Gold Team" - Charles
Sanders. Tom Maier. Matthew
Brandon. Tom Berrier. Taiwan
Clark and Jonathan Botha.
"These kids came in to
give the first team a rest and
they did a good job of putting
pressure on the opponent.
They scored when they could,
but their main job was to cause
problems with strong
defense."
Marcus Herndon and Brian
Bach were the top Cook
reserves. Penn said the dt o
was good enough to start, but
had to play reserve roles
because of the level of play
that the starters maintained
throughout the season.
The team only received
one major challenge during the
season and that came against
Kennedy, which held a 14
potnt halftime lead. Cook,
sparked by its defensive play,
bounced back in the second
half to w in by three points.
"It seemed like each one of
the players had something dif
ferent to offer," Pcnn said.
"They all wanted to play and
they gave everything they had
to make sure we won.
"1 think they all had a lot
of fun playing together," Penn
said. "At the beginning of the
season I told them 'You guys
play, let the referees officiate
the game and let me coach. It
was just that simple. Everyone
had a role to play and they
played it."
