weighs close to 800 "pound* iîRF"
is a devastating foe in the
wars of Charlotte-Mecklen
burg basketball this season.
..Dean Smith. John Wodden,
Tates Locke, Bill Foster.
Lefty Dresell, Jerome Fitch
and Bo Brickels have been
rumored to have been seen
lurking around the Sandy
Porter Road Gymnaisium
where this super-catch plays
and practices. And believe it
or not there is~-enough to go
— around ior .everybody
..Why?
.. Because this week's "Cager
of the Week" is the starting
five seniors of the Olympic
High School Basketball sauad.
The reason all five are co
honored and none"was'slngled
out is because the spirit at
Olympic is togetherness which
has turned last year's 2 and 21
squad into a winner that has
currently won almost four
times as many games as they
did last year.
..After a somewhat dismal
football season in which the"
Trojans won only one game,
the cheerleaders, the fans, the
coach and the student body
have something to cheer about
and they are wasting no time.
When the Olympic team
makes it pre-game practice
entrance on the court, the
Hoiise goes up as loyal fans
stand, applaud, jump and do
just about whatever turns
them on to the maze of
patterns and layups of the
scarlet, Columbia blue, and
white clad Trojans.
. .Ask Coach Vernon Hedricks
who is the best player on Jiis*
seven and one squad which
reached the finals of the
Olympic Holiday luui uaniunt
Friday night only to lose, to a
hot-shooting Harding High
School team that will probably
be the Trojans major ad
vesary in the conference and
he'll hesitate for a moment
and say "You know they work
so well together that we don't
have a best player. They all
lomplinient each other so Hell
and that is what makes the
team great."
> No one man can be singled
out from the team as all de
serve accolades. What does
Coach Hedricks have to say
about his charges who have
dpfpifrtFRmHUilHu ω auil Wi
to 61. Independence 78 to 57
and 90 to 80, Hickory 88 to 84 in
triple Overtime and 83 to 60
and North Mecklenburg 84 to
47 . The 70 to 59 loss to Harding
is the only blemish on their
record.
.."We have more experience
this year. And another reason
is Gene Harris, and Benjamin
Smith, a couple of reserves,"
said Hedricks who has been
the Olympic Coach since 1966.
On his individual players
. ."Stan Brown is a real good
shooter. Ile plays very good
defense and is averaging 20
points per game*
. . iMunu s ιιι^η quille» nave
been 22 and 30, both against
the"Independence Patriots. —
. ."Don Smith is an all-around
player, a real good rebounder
and plays very good defense."
Smith's top games have been
29 and 21 against Hickory and
29 againit Independence.
.."Jeff Anthony's main asset
is his defense and his rebound
ing. Dwight Allen is quick and
a good defensive player and
our quarterback is Reginald
Nance who handles the ball
most of the time. Nance's high
has been ,19, points against
South.
..And to go along with this
contingent, lledricks has a
strong sixth man in Gene
Harris, who had 20 points in
the opening South game and a
strong bench.
.."He does it all. His main
asset is his quickness. He's a
quick shooter and is just
good." Hedrick said with a
spiile. "He is our first sub,
whether it's at guard or at
forward. He helps to pick us
"Γ nf p'*»v"-n h»Vf
referred to him as Mr. Excite
ment because he excites our
players so much when they
are having a dull moment and
he comes into the game,"
Hedrick added. The players
echo Hedrick's sentiments.
. ."We are off to a good head
start/^ai^h^6^ound^3^
center Jeff Anthony. "We had
the talent last year, but we
just ne>er not it together. This
year we are working to
gether." .
.."One of the reasons is that
the majority of the players are
back." said 5' 10" guard
Hpg'"flW Nanre in explaining
w hy the Trojans are winning. ~
. ."We have six of us back who
played last year. And Donald
Smith who was not with us last
year is giving us a big help."
continued the Senior who re
laxes to Kool and the Gan?
and the Main Ingredient when
he is not playing basketball
and just likes being "being
around people. All Nance
wants from the team is a
winning season that includes
the State championship.
.. Leading "scorer 6*t" ιβο
pound Senior Stan Brown who
is being scouted by t'lemson.
East—Tennessee—State, and
' ...1 —
hobby is basketball and more
hacloihall Îgyfj the exper
ience the team gained last
year is paying off this year.
.. Dwight Allen, 6'2" 160 pound
forward and 167 pound 6*0"
senior Donald Smith are the
other co-cagers of the week.
..Aided by the help of Harris
and Smith, plus Jesse Harris,
Jeff Hill, Mike Holesh. Jeff
Joplin, Bob MacDonald,
Robert Cappozziello. and
Jerome Dupree, this year's
contingent expects to be in
Greensboro around the last
week of February when the
State tournament trophies are
being handed out at the
Greensboro Page High School
gymnasium.
..There you have it sports
fans, a eager with ten arms,
ten legs, who can guard five
men, assists, shots, leaps, and
is over 30 feet tall and weighs
close to 800 pounds and is
tireing up local basketball
squads. The cheerleaders sum
it up.
' .. "Tiujanu arc dynamite, and
you don't mess with dynamite
because it will burn your
hands."
