EARL MASON’S ■ SPORTS C VIDEO V Bb.SSING HELPS SANDERSON Sander- :i’s head football coach, Jim Brown is not a man who r. :• o: fight than switch. If a switch Is going to be for the better ment, then Brown is all for it. Last season, the football program at Sanderson was just a ir-veJc.ping program. Last season the Suartans took some de feats at the hands of some of the top teams In the state. This near when all the smoke had cleared and the new ar rangement had been settle concerning the bussing of students t< • irious schools around the cit of Raleigh, then Sanderson was the one to benefit the most athletic wise. After the final court preceedings were announced, really Brown and no other school official had any choice but to switch because the fighting days were over. All types of statements were made from school officials, parents, teachers and even students about what would happen’ ■c- the schools here In Raleigh were integrated. Some even t as far to say that major disturbances would erupt here in Raleigh. But as is the case with other walks of life, athletics serve ■> s a peacemaker rather than peacebreaker. So Sanderson, neb up until this year was more than 99 percent white, was •IE. experiencing a new endeavor. 1 ootball practice started back in August and the black ath ’*■ s 6' >ng O'" for football were going to get the first test as Ecu the new set up would work in the school svstem. i- r any Black athlete going out for athletics at Sanderson it iv • experience. But the young men trying out for football met A ch -Benge i: August and this help set the ground work to. other students when it was time for school to open i; September. Brown let it be known that he was happy to secure the serv ices Os several former Ligon football players and he and his s’ if were accepting them just like any other athlete. The Spartans inherited the services of about 15 former Ligon athletes who would fit into the athletic program at the North Hi.n school. And fit in they did because as a result the combined vim ris of the athletes at Sanderson along with the play of the tourer Ligon footballers, It spelled championship for the Spartans. NAT MENTIONED IN PRE-SEASON RATINGS Alo the poll was taken among high school coaches arouno the slate, the name of Sanderson was never if ever mentioned a -lon spot in championship play. Instead, Enloe was tabbed as the team to beat In this conference. And right behind the Eagles Broughton was listed to defend its state title. But Sanderson was not even in the title picture back in August and the first par’ of September. t once the season began, Sanderson let it to be known that to -pjrtans wanted their name added to the championship Msi, All the Spartans did was play one game at time. About idseason. sportscasters started to mention the name of Sand * rxor is a possible contender for conference honors. rll sit Sanderson knocked off Durham Senior in a game played 1;l l 'Aha ii . complete downpour. Next, the Spartans took the neasure of defending state champions Broughton by one point, A-!2. It was then that the Spartans were in the driver's seat in the divisional race. B"t two weeks ago Sanderson travelled to Durham to meet th< cellar dwelling Hillside eleven. A victory over the Hornets ;ia just about wrap up the conference race for Sanderson. [ --A” : the hornets felt the sting of their homecoming crowd :• U the response was 6-0 for Hillside over the league leading Spartans. This set v e stage for a dramatic climax to the high school - - I.week. 7 he three local schools found then:selves V* ■' th! tie for the top spot in the conference with a spot lr ‘ y e Pi a' offs i waiting the league winner. .hf schedule which was formulated well in’advance of the Sr son could not have more perfect. Sanderson was to meet h:,!or Broughton was listed for an engagement with Dur ham Senior. The possible outcome of the final standings was about as s' ; nge as the pieces to a puz le. But with all the possi hjiitio.', a win for Sanderson on Friday night would clinch the divisional title for the Spartans. And as if Sanderson needed some added Incentive, it was n , or 1:; C North Park for the Spartans and this would be the f;rst tßne Sanderson had chance to play under the new lights in ,me P&rk, V. ith all of this plus the league championship ” IM one step beyond, the Spartans knew what thev were facing before the 8 o’clock kickoff. Ine response by the Spartans entire team was great. The wtans took advantage of the first break of the game, reco\ei ing the kickoff deep in Enloe’s territory. The Spartans quickly put seven points on the board. Th is v.as only the beginning however, as the Spartans promp •/,, scored the next two times they gained possession of the ball. fading -'O-1-1 at intermission, Sanderson added two more w sms .- the third period and only the outcome was indoubt from here on in. N&V. IT’S ON TO THE PLAYOFFS Nov, the Spartans find themselves in an unusual spot-that of representing the conference in post season play. But Coach Brown and his staff have gotten the team ready for other chal lenges this season and this will no exception. Come Friday night at North Park, Sanderson will meet a very tough High Point Central eleven which was undefeated this sea son. The Central Division winners had a. tie on its unblem ished record however. The Spartans have their work cut out for them this week. But one thing they will need is the support of entire Raleigh beh ind them. And the best way to support the cause Is by coming out to North Park Friday night to see the Spartans meet High 1 or r Centra' in the first round of the state 4-A playoffs. it is now do. n to the eight best teams in the 4-A ranks and Sanderson is proud to be one of the top eight teams in the .y .in 4-A play. This in itself is an honor and a tribute to Coach Brown and his staff. But no coach is any better then his ■i, f; nal r-.o Brown is quick to give his players a pat on the Hack for the job they did all season. Brows, has not gone on record as saying that he was un happy '.out the new school set up. Because from the bussing incide? r he received the services of such stars as Charlie Muldrow, Elroy Whitaker and Haywood Raye just to mention * * fV • Brow:i and his staff are not only happy with these players just mentioned but they are proud of all the Black athletes who have made the Sanderson football program a success. V. itt'out the services of these players, who knows, m, -he one of the other local schools would be preparing to compete for the playoff title. The switch has brought honor andprestigefor the Sanderson football program. We know all concerned are happy. In years t 0 dome maybe Brown will turn to the boxing field and try his hand at fighting but this football season he chose to go along with the switch and it had brought him some deserving honors. CONG: ATULATIONS TO CARNAGE FOOTBALLERS No trophies or honors are given tothecity junior high school football v inner. But congratulations are in order for Coach Ed Hicks and his very fine staff at Carnage on winning the juni or high school title this season, The Trojans compiled a 6-0-1 record enroute to the cham pionship.

Central C oach is Proud Os The Way His Offensive Line Has Developed DURHAM- Coach George Qulett is proud of the North Carolina Central University of fensive line. They are, he says, the reason two Central runners are leading the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in yardage per carry. "This line is developing in to one of the best lines we’ve had here in the last four yea s," Quiett says. "They already compare favorably with the 1369 line--Doug Wtlkerson, Bracy Bonham, Donald Leak, Har vey Clanton, and Ervin Allen." And the beautiful thing, Q\ lett says, is that the line will re turn Intact next year. Bracy Bonham, who was on that 1960 line as a freshman, will be a senior next year. S< will guard Raymond Coleman. Tackle Gor don Armstrong will be a junior. "And Dwight Petteford and Thomas Saxon have three more years of eligibility, because they were redshirted last year." The sixth man on the line-- Quiett has gone through most of the season with one center two guards, and three tackle is sophomore tackle Nathaniel Boyd, who has alternated with Bonham and Armstrong. "Ther strong point," Quiett says, "is their intelligence in adapting to unexnected situa tions." He said a surprising defensive lineup doesn't bother the five men who are on the line. Saxon reports, "They couldn't throw anything at us we couldn’t block,’’ and Boyd says, "We have these signlas we give each other about de fensive lineups. If we didn’t communicate down on the lino, we would be having a awful season.” The linemen sc- . unanimous in their .attributing the char acter of their unit—which en ters the field together, apart from the other players, anc according to Bovc and Saxon Get that barefoot feeling.
