cruits L. J. Pipkin, 6 - 9,
along with Steve Cassei, a
rugged 6 - 7 rebounder, make
favorites to keep the confer

“We lost some outstanding
players in Allen Spruill, Lon
Smith, and Stan Parham;
however, I believe we have
the experience that should
eliminate some of the early
season mistakes.”
Key returnees include Ron
Johnson (13.8 ppg, 7 re
bounds), 6-10 Sinclair Col
bert, (9.3 ppg., 10 rebounds),
6-1 guard Raymond Perry
(7.3 ppg.), and 6-6 guard
James Sparrow (15.5 ppg, 7
reb., 4 assists).
Other players expected to
see considerable action in

Boone, 6-5 Vincent Butler,
6-6 Caleb Johnson along with
freshmen Gary Frazier, Ken
Small, and Mike Levister.
“Right now we are con
centrating on speed in our
attack,” said Reynolds, who
was named as the 1974 - 75
“Coach of the Year”.
“At this point, we are as
fast as any team I have
coached and we sh^d be
able to use that to our
advantage when the season
starts.”
Expecting to give the
Aggies their stiffest competi
tion this season are the
Bulldogs from South Carolina
State College.
