SPORTING SCENE Energetic Stevens Adds Life To Trojan Hoops It's been said that a team develops the same demeanor as its coach, and tliat is ccrtainlv true of the West Mtunswick bovs' basketball team. The lii'i.ins aie enthusiastic and intense. just like their mentor. Douq I lie tirsi thing most people notice _ about first-year coach Charlie Stevens KUTlST is Ins energy Watching him work is like wauhing a Mexican jumping SpOfTS bean, lie bounces to and fro and rarely st.uuis still. Stevens jumps up and down when his team scores a basket, waves his arms when he wants his team to run the last-break anil crouches down and si.mis the floor when he wants his team to pliiv defense. "! vie. it sor the boys. 1 do it to k<? n them excited on the floor." Stevens explained follow ing a recent game at North Myrtle Beach I lie players seem to respond. *1 Trojans are plav ing an exciting brand ot basketball this season, running at every opportunity and playing in-your face defense to take advantage of their quickness and athleticism. Watching Coach Stevens on the sideline, you can't help wonder it he burns more energv than his players during the course of a game. Several West Brunswick supporters have told me they like the direction the basketball program is heading under Stevens. They like the new sense ot discipline and purpose Thompson Impressive Editor I was real!) impressed with David Thompson, the former North Carolina Slate and Denver Nuggets basketball si.ir who put on a clinic last week at South Brunswick High School Alter telling the kids his stor. and urging them to stay in school and aw.t\ from drugs. Thompson stuck around lor about 30 minutes after the clinic to sign autographs He didn't |Ust sign .1 lew before sneaking out the back door. Ihompson stayed until everybodv who wanted an autograph was satisfied He was one ot the last people to lea\e the g> in. He ga\e .111 excellent talk and really relate*.! to the kids. The Charlotte Hornets have .l first-class organization and they are Iortunate to have a man like Thompson working with their youth program State Champs On TV West Brunswick High School lootball fans may want to ha\e their VCRs on standby Saturday night tor the broadcast ot the "Toyota Football ( hampionships ot North Carolina."
