Basketball's Premiere Shaw!
City Of Norfolk Fighting
To Keep CIAA Tournament
By Phil Bucher
' Special To The Poet
. .The city of Norfolk once
again proved an exception
al host to the 39th an
nual CIAA basketball tour
nament. Everywhere tour
nament fans went in the
area, banners greeted
them while area busi
nesses welcomed them
withopen arms:
The oniv romDlaints re
gistered were by disgrunt
led alumni of losing tour
nament teams about
“biased officiating’ er—
“if only that guard didn’t
miss that fast break lay
up.”
It was a tournament of
firsts. The first win ever in
the 39-year event for the
Tigers of St. Paul’s. A
first tournament title for
Norfolk State in their
home city after stealing the
gala affair away from the
city of Hampton in 1978.
Another first round loss for
the Golden Bulls.
One topic on a good many
minds was the future loca
tion at the prestigious
event. The 1965 tournament
will be in Norfolk’s Scope
next year. The 1986 and
1987 tournaments are sup
posed to be held in the
larger Richmond Coli
seum.
But reports circulating at
this year’s event indicate
that negotiations have run
aground with Richmond of
ficials. The city of Nor
- folk, who has thrown in
every imaginable incentive
plus the mayor’s kitchen
sink, is fighting with all it
resources to keep the
tournament.-Over 50,000
fans clicked the turn
stiles, smashing the re
cord once again. Black
college basketball’s pre
miere show sold out three
night* in a row starting
with Thursday nights'
quarterfinal games. Get
ting a ticket, into the
Scope was harder than
breaking out of Leaven
worth prison. Chamber of
Commerce officials es
timated over $3 million was
generated into the area.
Obviously, Richmond
would be fumbling away a
major event if negotia
tions continue to stall.
Best Tourney Move: The
Virginia Union Panthers’
mascot, who won a kiss and
hug from the beautiful
Jayne Kennedy after a wild
halftime hysterics dance
when she was introduced.
Second Best Move:
JCSU’s AH-CIAA lineback
er Stephone Darby who
cornered Jayne Kennedy in
the VIP room. Stephone
asked for an autographed
. picture, but Miss Ken:
nedv didn’t have one, so
Darby gave her one of his.
The senior Golden Bull,
promoted during football
season as one of the Bruise
Brothers, then asked about
hiring onAfea-hftdy guard.
Kennedy was surrounded
by two boty guards at the
time, but^Darbjr, who
bench prqj|es 425 pounds,
was set to demonstrate that
her presew hired help was
inadequate.
Third Best Move: Post
publisher, Bill Johnson, of
fered Min Kennedy the
seat next to him on press
row after sending the prior
occuDant to fetch drinks.
