GREENSBORO - Willie
Daniels is a winner! From
high school to college,
he’s carried institutions to
winning records.
He led the Eastern High
Ramblers of Washington,
D.C. to a 23-4 mark and the
city prep championship, an
undefeated league record,
and earned 1st team
All-Metropolitan honors
while averaging 22 points
per contest as a senior.
Then the college offers
poured in from such schools
as the University of
Maryland and St. Bonaven-
ture; however Willie chose
North Carolina A&T.
Daniels career hasn’t
been without personal ups
and downs. As a performer
on A&T’s freshman squad
in ,1970-71, Willie was
plagued by an ankle injury
that sidelined him during
the season. Along with this
came the frustration of not
playing and an ensuing lack
of interest in classes. He
lost his sense of identity
and decided not to return to
A&T next fall.
“Cal Irvin and Nat
Frazier (Morgan State
Coach) recommended that 1
go to Seminole Junior
College in Oaklahoma,"
said Daniels.
There he transformed a
team that had been 14-19
the previous season into a
club that went 30-5 and
reached the Junior College
Nationals.
Averaging better than 14
points per game, Willie was
named honorable mention
JC All-American.
Last year Willie Daniels
returned to A&T, inspite of
offers from the University
of South Florida and
Marquette. He said he
came back because "I felt
there was no place else to
go. It was the sense of pride
that 1 had to return and
prove myself.”
And he did that quickly,
breaking into the starting
lineup when A&T center
Artice Jackson injured his
knee in the fifth game of
the season. Although he
shared playing time with
several veteran .forwards,
he averaged 13.6 points
and 6.3 rebounds.
And the winning ways
followed, with A&T taking
their second straight Mid-
East.ern Athletic Confer
ence Tournament cham
pionship over Howard
University and the Univer
sity of Maryland Eastern
Shore.
His quickness and leap
ing ability on the boards
earned him the name
■‘Doctor D” and a place on
the All-Tournament Second
Team.
With superb shooters
like guards Allen Spruill
and All-American Candi
date James Outlaw (pre
sently averaging 28 points
per game) on the team,
Willie might wonder where
this leaves him this season.
“Rebounding,” he said
in calling his task ”a
must.” He has therefore
learned to sacrifice one part
of his game for a team
accomplishment as eviden
ced by his 11.5 retrieves
per game. He still manages
to pump in 15.2 points per
game.
Willie’s unselfishness
has led him to the summer
playgrounds in Washington
to work with the D.C.
Recreation Department’s
Leader Program. And the
summer league basketball
he played resulted in two
championships for his team
while he came up against
the likes of Sid Catlett,
formerly of Notre Dame
and Darrell Brown and Jim
O’Brien, both ex-Maryland
players.
Since the Aggies are the
only MEAC tournament
champions, winning two in
the brief history of the
league, Willie says, ‘‘1
don’t want to be the first
team captain to lose a
MEAC championship.”
Certainly head coach
Warren Reynolds doesn’t
expect “Doctor D” to let
him down as Daniels
operates magically and
consistently

Broncas Looking Ahead
FAYETTEVILLE —When you
are defending CIAA champs
everybody is gunning for you.
THIS seems to be the thinking
of the Broncos and new head
coach Otis Hawkins. The

versiiy.
“In (he beginning cf the
season,” began coach Otis
Hawkins. “( said that I would
divide the season into three
phases. The first part-before
Christmas, the second-after
Christmas lo the end of
January- and the third part
from February (o CIAA
Tourney time.”
“WK have had a good pre-
holiday record and I hope that
part (wo and part three of the
season will be just as well for
Smokey Says:
After the Winston-Salem
contest, the Bronco hardwood-
men will travel lo Raleigh to

Tourney affair with St.
