State frontline pulls
big disappearing act
By CHRIS SPENCER
Assistant Sports Editor
Chucky Brown sat staring at the
floor, burning a hole through the
piece of tape that had just been
cut off his right ankle. He was
sitting in the visitors' locker room
of the Smith Center late Thursday
night, 10 feet away from any of
his N.C. State teammates, just
staring at that rolled up, empty
piece of athletic tape.
The Wolfpack had just lost a
hard -fought overtime battle with
sixth-ranked North Carolina, 75
73. State had come out hungry,
attacking the Tar Heels inside for
various finger-rolls and layups.
But in the second half, that
muscle turned to flab, and State
wilted in the hot Tar Heel sun.
Consider that at halftime, the
Wolfpack's front line of the 6-foot-8
Brown and 6-10 Charles Shac-.
kleford had totaled six and eight
points, respectively. By the time
those two had begun stripping
their tape off, though, they had
finished with a paltry eight apiece.
"They (UNC) were helping out
a lot down low," a dejected Brown
mumbled after the game. "I guess
they were trying to make the
guards play them more."
Both Brown and Shackleford
said that the defensive pressure
seemed to intensify in the second

half. Indeed, you could just see
J.R. Reid working on Shackleford
in the second half, fronting him
and shuffling side-to-side to keep
any lobs from getting in. The 6-foot-9
forward held Shackleford
scoreless for the final 34 minutes
of the contest.
MWe really gutted it out and
played good team defense
tonight," Reid said. Added his
counterpart in the paint, Scott
Williams, "Sometimes you can just
sense when Shackleford is lagging
back, both on offensive and
defense. We just tried to move him
up and down the court."
Brown, though, really hurt his
team. As the secondary scorer, he
had the shots Thursday night, but
for whatever reason he just didn't
make the nets quiver.
He finished l-of-9 in the second
stanza, and with Shack shut out,
either by the UNC defense or by
his own accord, the Wolfpack
paint became the Tar Heels'
domain.
Accordingly, State coach Jim
Valvano blessed, out his squad
before the post-game press confer
ence. And after Valvano's fire
works ended, Brown was left
sitting in that chair, staring at the
tape and wondering what might
have been if he could have hit a
shot.

Wrestlers lose again to Tack.. 22-16
By JIM MUSE
Assistant Sports Editor
RALEIGH The UNC wrestlers
went to N.C. State on Thursday night
bent on revenge. The 1 5th-ranked Tar
Heels still had visions of Jan. 19 in
their heads, when they lost to the
dreaded Wolfpack in Chapel Hill, 26
12. Unfortunately, Thursday night's
script was much the same as last
month's, as N.C. State got off to an
early lead in the lower weights and
that ultimately made the difference
in a 22-16 Wolfpack win.
The seventh-ranked Wolfpack
raised its record to 15-6 overall, 4
0 in the conference. UNC dropped
to 13-5 and 4-2. All five of North
Carolina's losses have been at the
hands of Top Ten teams.
The match started inauspiciously
for the Tar Heels, who lost all three
early weight classes. At 118 pounds,
freshman Tim Ellenberger, recently
returned from an ankle injury, fell
behind quickly, and lost to the painful

When sixth-ranked North Caro
lina travels to Charlottesville for a 4
p.m. Valentine's Day rendezvous with
Virginia, you can rest assured it won't
be to hand-deliver any floral arrange
ments. And for that matter, don't
expect the Cavaliers to welcome the
Tar Heels to University Hall with
open arms and a case of Whitman's
Samplers, either.
As is seemingly always the case,
these are two unfriendly teams.
To illustrate that point, one need
only to think back about four weeks
to the last time the Tar Heels and
the Wahoos hooked up on the court.
In that one, a 77-52 UNC romp,
tempers flared, elbows and forearms
flew, and technical fouls were
assessed on each team's bench.
North Carolina raced out to a big
early lead and never looked back,
except to find out who was grabbing
them from behind. On two occasions
it was John Johnson, the immensely
talented Virginia point guard who
was whistled for a pair of intentional
fouls in the second half. Another time
the aeeressor was reserve forward
Matt Blundin, who treated Jeff Lebo
to a bhndside lorearm shiver that
would have made Jack Tatum
envious.
Predictably, the teams had to be
separated after Cav forward Mel
Kennedy and J.R. Reid nearly came
to blows following a particularly
feisty scrap for a loose ball.
Ignonng the WWF aspects of the
Virginia squad for a moment, the
Cavaliers will enter Sunday's meeting
with a two-game losing streak. On
the last Sabbath, the Wahoos were
sacrificed to the god of Phi Slamma
Jamma, getting embarrassed 81-58 in
Houston. That dismal performance
followed an encouraging one on Feb.
3, in which Virginia stood toe-to-toe
with N.C. State in Raleigh before
falling 75-69.

From staff reports
New UNC football coach Mack
Brown reaped a bountiful harvest
from his first Tar Heel recruiting
class, signing 19 prep prospects on
Wednesday.
Included among Brown's initial
signees are record-breaking tailback
Randy Jordan, of Warrenton, 6-foot-5
quarterback Todd Burnett, of
Burke, Va., Alabama 1-A Player of
the Year Hamp Greene and local
product J.R. Boldin, a 6-foot-2, 240
pound lineman from Orange High
School.
Wednesday was the first day of the
national signing period, which con
tinues through April 1, and Brown
said his staff was still looking to sign
up to three more players, preferably
cornerbacks.
"For the first recruiting year, I'm
really amazed at how well it went,"
said Brown, who was hired on Dec.
16 to replace 10-year Tar Heel mentor
Dick Crum, who resigned on Nov.
30. MI thought three weeks ago if we
could have signed 10 young guys we
would have been happy."
But Brown signed 19 players, eight
of whom are considered among the
top 40 prospects in the state. Five
others were considered in Virginia's
top 25 prep stars, and two more were
among Georgia's top 20.
Of particular interest was the
signing of lineman Willie Joe Walker,
a 6-3', 250-pound transfer from
Garden City (Kan.) Junior College.
Walker is a native of Bradenton, Fla.
"We will build our program on
high school football players," Brown
said. "By and large, we will only go
to junior colleges to fill an immediate
need."
Brown added that he felt the
positions UNC most needed to fill
were defensive lineman and defensive
back. Boldin, a two-time Piedmont
Athletic Conference first-team selec
tune of 16-1. .
At 126, sophomore John Welch
gave a heroic effort against State's
Michael Stokes, who is ranked fourth
in the nation, but came up short.
After a 5-5 tie early in the second
period, Stokes won a 10-6 decision.
UNC junior Enzo Catullo then
came in at 134 against third-ranked
Bill Hershey. The cat-quick Hershey
kept Catullo at bay, earning a
controversial 9-5 decision which gave
State an 11-0 lead.
At the end of the second period
Hershey had gotten two points for
a takedown which appeared question
able. "Enzo never went down on his
knee," said Tar Heel coach Bill Lam.
"That's the difference between win
ning and losing this match. The
officiating the whole match was just
not good."
Next up came senior All-American
Lenny Bernstein, taking on State's
tough Joe Cesari. After two scoreless
and uneventful periods, Bernstein
took hold of Cesari for good, gaining

Wolfpack. In the last UNC-Virginia
game, Kennedy, the Cavaliers' lead
ing scorer with 19. 1 points per outing,
had 23 points and seven rebounds.
Immediately after the blowout in
Chapel Hill, Virginia bounced back
with impressive home wins over
Maryland (84-72) and Georgia Tech
(58-55).
The Cavaliers have been tough all
year in U-Hall, winning nine of 11
home contests. Virginia's only Char
lottesville losses have come to Rhode
Island and Duke.
Virginia is 12-11 overall, 4-3 in the
ACC, and a win Sunday would no
doubt breathe new life into the team's
fast-fading NIT chances. It was just

category.
Also intriguing was the signing of
Virginia Beach, Va., twins Curt and
Craig Brown, both of whom stand
6-foot-6. Curt is listed as a back, while
Craig, 10 pounds heavier than his
brother at 215 pounds, plays on the
line.

With Bernstein back down to his
tournament weight of 142 pounds,
sophomore Darryl Clark got the call
at 150. Clark, however, was out

Scott Turner. Clark's technical fall

tives, once again delivered. Koll
raised his record to 32-1 by ripping

importantly, four team points.
The 167-pound weight class proved
to be critical. The Tar Heels felt the
losses of freshmen Jay Landolfo, who
separated his shoulder during last
week's road trip, and Eric Keyser,
who injured his knee. Little-used
senior Pete Bearse performed admir-
two years ago that the Cavaliers upset

Heels boasted a 21-0 record.
UNC Athlete
This week's UNC Athlete of the
Week award goes to someone you
might remember from Thursday's
paper. It's Sharon Couch, the wom
en's track star whose hopes and
dreams our own Robert D'Arruda
chronicled in a feature story.
We're not sure if this is a record
or anything, but it does seem inter
esting that Ms. Couch's picture will
grace our sports page on two con
secutive days.
Last weekend at New York City's
Millrose Games, the freshman from
Rice, Va., qualified for the NCAA
55-meter hurdles championships.
Earlier this season, Couch earned a
spot in the NCAA field for her
performance in the long jump.
Oh, yeah, and Couch is the first
freshman to win this award in a long,
long time, or since J.R. Reid won it
last winter.

match which had been tied at 4-4 with
just 1:30 to go.
Sophomore Ben Oberly pulled the
team closer with a convincing 9-3
victory over State's Mike Baker at
177, and his three-point decision left
the Tar Heels trailing by a 19-10
count. UNC needed not only to win
the two remaining matches, but had
to win them convincingly.
State's Ty Williams forfeited to
give UNC six points and let the Tar
Heels pull within three, at 19-16.
North Carolina heavyweight Pat
Crowley, who had just started warm
ing up, rushed onto the mat with the
Tar Heels' hopes of victory resting
squarely upon his shoulders.
The sophomore knew that he
would have his hands full against
State's Mike Lombardo, 27-1 and
third-ranked in the nation. Lom
bardo proved to be too much, using
his quickness to earn a 7-1 victory
and close out State's win.
