G-W's Not Out
Before the current basketball season began, not many
urea “guessperts" gave Gardner-Webb’s Bulldogs much of i
a chapte of returning to the District 26 tournament, which j
they won last year en route to a fourth place finish in|
the NAIA national tournament. |
The pre-season word was that the Bulldogs were too i
-•oung and inexperienced and that this would be a re-'
i/Uilding year. I
ii lids oeen a rebuilding year, but Coach Eddie ITol-'
iroolc’s c'liarges are still in the thick of the battle for .]
herth in the District 2G tourney. And don’t bet against
them.
'the Bulldogs are currently 11-4 against NAIA teams
with lo'dr regular season games remaining. They have
only three games remaining against NAIA teams, those
be.ng UNC-Asheville tonight at the Charlotte Coliseum,
(i.itawba m roiling Springs on Feb. 20 and Guilford at the
/.Coliseum on Feb. 24.
;j. Ga'JHer-VVcLib is coming off two big NAIA victories
flkst wefek over Lenoir Rhyne and Belmont Abbey. Both
« iOf 'those chibs defeated the Bulldogs in earlier action.
But, l^fs get back to the upcoming District 2G play-
Mffs, $et (or March 6-7.
ij; ‘‘I dq/li't kno'.v actually how we stand," says Holbrook.
;|‘lrvo,'tol4 my boys that (hey have to win every game,
tif we .don’t win the rest of our games it will lake a stroke
fOi good.,fortune for us to got in the playoffs."
.The‘ tournament will be made up of the CaroMnas
Conference tournament champ, the CIAA champion, the
ifi.lependent with the best record and an at-large team
with the best rccoi'd. The at-large berth can go to any
'District 2G school, regardless of what conference it is in.
—br'Milto; d in Li^oocl Position
Glfilford, the Carolinas Conference leader, currently
hag php best NAIA record, having lost only three games.
All otfier schools have lost at least four NAIA games.
SHbtfld Guilford win the CC tournament, it v.’ould
be difficult for another CC team to gain a playoff ber.h,
But if the Quakers fail to win the CC tourney, anoth?!
confei^pce team would occupy that CC champion’s berth
and piuilford would have a good shot at the at-large
berfh,..
“Jt’p (jard to say right now what’s going to happen,”
says flojbrpok. “There are three or four teams with good
shotp^pt.those at-large berths and there’s no telling what
wil) happen in the final two weeks of the season."
' Top independent teams at present are Gardner-VVi bb,
North Carolina A&T, Barber Scotia and Belmont Abbey.
“You’d have to say it’s a tossup,” added Holbrook.
"All of those clubs can possibly qualify.”
I Holbrook, whose club is 17-7 overall, says his Bull
dogs have improved since their recent performance in
the Hawaii tournament.
"1 think we’re getting a little bit better," he noted.
“We’re getting a better performance from our young kids
and veterans A1 Graves and Ken Napier have been play-
Ajng better.’’
" One of G-W’s biggest victories or the .vear cam? Sat
urday night when the Bulldogs knocked off Belmont
Abbey on the Crusaders’ home floor. It was a two-point
victory that upset Abbey’s mentor, former Kings Moun-
Hlgh coach Bobby Hussey.
Hu.ssey, who is hoping for a district tourney bertr
In only his second year at the Belmont sohool, was un
happy with the officiating, noting that Gardner-Web!
nlayed a physical contest and got away with numoroui
fouls.
Holbrook said the officiating didn’t have a bearing
oh the game’s outcome.
“I’m sorry that Bob felt like the o.-ficiating bea!
him,” said Holbrook. “I admit it was a rough game witl
a lot of contact. But I looked at the game film and wc
had players on the floor several times when louls weren’
called, just as they did.
“We’ve been in games like that before," continue
the G-W mentor, “and we have lost games like that. 1
felt the same as Bob did when they beat us up here earli
er in the year, but I didn’t blame the officials.
“As you know,” he continued, “sometimes official.-
will call every little foul and sometimes they’ll let yoi
play a physical game. There’s not anything you can di
about it. It’s just part of the game.
'T think we won the game because we got a goot
result from our players," continued Holbrook. “I don'
think the officials won the game for us. The officiating
wa.sn’t any worse there than it was here. I can’t under
stand why iToto is so upset. We don’t use rough housi
tactics. We just play hard and play to win."
—Adams Playing, Scoring More
Short cuts from the world of sports;
■Coach Holbrook reports that former KMHS and G-T
standout George Adams is continuing to improve vvilT
the ABA San Diego Conquistadors.
"I talked to George a week ago,” ropo'-ts Holbrool-
1 "Stu Joihnson has been slowed up because of a sore kner
I and George has gotten to play a lot more. He’s played
I quite a bit in three of the last four games, and in t.hos'
games he scored 21, 18 and 15 points.” . . .
Florida State’s chances of getting an at-large berth
in the NCAA regional tournament appears slim, as state
rival Jacksonville continues to climb in the national polls
The Seminoles have now dropped six games and apparent
ly are having some dissention among the players. Coae'
Hugh Durham recently suspended leading scorer Bonn/
Cl.vde and benched 5-7 point man Otto Perry. King<
Mountain’s Otis Cole is now FSU’s thii-d leading score'
with a 9-8 average, ranking behind Lawrence McCrai
and Reggie Royals. All-American Ron King contmues Tc
sit out with an ankle injury. The Seminoles, who play
North Carolina on reg'onal TV Saturday, are probably
now looking for an NIT berth. . .
Joe Cafferky. one of only two seniors on N. C. State’.^
second-ranked Wolfpack, admits that the players arc
feeling the pressures of their 19-game winning streak
. which is four shy of the school record. “Sure, it’s there
and we know it,” he says. “It’s something a good team
must learn to live with, and we think we have a good
team. As long as we remain unbeaten, there’s gomg to bo
a little added pressure every time we take the floor. But
I think we can handle it.” . . .
Duke’s Gary Melchionni has averaced 23.3 points n?r
came in his last four contests, with a high of .39 against
sophomore whiz. David Thomn

Tlie up-and-down Mounlies are

of the final two cont(!Sts. The
Mounties could get a good seed-
i.ng f'. 'he upcemin-g SWC tour-

iwo l-vtses, however, would give
them a final record of 7-11 and
