Press Box
from pa fie Bl
valuable minutes.
Jeff Overby. RJR's coach,
believes Fulp will be able to
help the Demons' varsity next
year.
"He's got all the tools,"
Overby said. "He's a coach's
dream. He's only going to get
better and better."
The same could be said of
Ray Edmond. North Forsyth's
leading scorer. Edmond. a 6-2
swing man. averaged 18.5
points per game for the
Vikings, who finished their
season with a 14-6 overall
record and 9-3 mark in the
Metro 4-A Conference. In most
seasons Edmond might have
been the JV Player of the Year.
Tyler Boardrhan was anoth
er strong candidate for Player
of the Year. The 6-2 freshman
averaged 14.9 points per game
to help lead West Forsyth to a
Central Piedmont 4-A Confer
ence championship. The Titans
finished 18-4 overall and 9-1
in the conference.
Derek Griffin of Glenn.
Perry Rowdy of Parkland and
Antwoine Mitchell of Carver
also put up lofty numbers dur
ing the season.
Griffin spent the first part
of the season on the Bobcats'
varsity but when he came
down to the junior varsity he
made an immediate impact,
averaging more than 18 points
per game and helping the Bob
cats finish the season strong.
"If we had had him for the
entire season he would have
average more than 20 poinbts
per game." said Glenn coach
John Fowler. "Derek really
stepped in and did a great job
for us. That's one of the rea
sons why we finished the sea
son so strong."
Rowdy was Parkland's
most consistent scorer
throughout the season. His
skills helped compensate for
many offensive weaknessed in
Parkland's team.
"He was the guy we looked
to for our points," said coach
Dwain Aikens. "He really did a
good job of putting the ball in t
he basket. He has to work on
his defense, but I expect him to
be able to do well on the next
level."
The same can be said of
Mitchell of Carver. He has the
ability to score on slashing
moves to the basket and pull
up for the jumper.
"Antwoine is a very talent
ed guy who did a good job for
us during the season," said
Carver coach Greg Scales.
"He's the type of guy who
doesn't look like he's really
putting up big numbers but
before you realize it he's got
20 points."
Mitchell led the Yellow
jackets with an 18.3 scoring
average. He was one of the rea
sons why the young Yellow
jacket team posted a 13-8 over
all record and 10-6 mark in the
Piedmont Triad 3-A Confer
ence.
The remaining players on
the All-City/County Team
were all key contributors to
their teams. Charles Jackson's
inside scoring (12) and
rebounding (9.1) were impor
tant to the Titans' attack.
Danny Harris was the floor
leader for a Reynolds team that
was 16-6 overall and 8-2 in the
Central Piedmont Conference.
"Danny is the type of play
er that every coach wants,"
said Overby. "He understands
what we want to do on both
ends of the court and he does
his best to execute;it.
"His leadership was really
important to us," Overby
added. "He sacrificed some
scoring to help with the ball
handling and making sure we
stayed within our game plan."
Terrance Ingram helped
lead a resurgent East Forsyth
team under the direction of
first-year coach Doug Lakis.
Elliott Kimball's overall play
was also a major reason Mount
Tabor was one of the top teams
in the Metro 4-A Conference in
the first year under coach
William Gray.
