Bulldog Effort In Game
With Bugs Unsuccessful
Atlantic Christian College’s Bull
dog basketecrs dropped their big
home attraction of the season to
East Carolina College here on
Thursday night, February 4, 70-57. |
It was a heartbreaker for the '
Bulldogs who had hoped for an'
upset over the highly regarded Pi-1
rates. It could have turned into
an upset if the BuUdogs- had ex
perienced a better start at the
out.' ct of the contest. Instead, the
Pirates build up a comfortable
kad right from the start, and it
wat the chore for ACC to attempt
to challenge all the way.
Guard Dick Knox of ACC, turn-!
in his best performance of the
season, but the output by the Bull
dogs was not enough to overcome ‘
a wi'll balanced club that, now, is ;
considered by many to be the top ;
club in the North State Confer
ence.
Guard Ike Riddick sparked the
East Caix)lina attack. He scored
23 points, three more than did
Knox for ACC.
Lawrence Clayton, East Caro
lina’s highly regarded freshman
guard, had a bad fir.st half with
Knox guarding him, but managed
to. come back in the second half to
rack up 15 points.
Meanwhile, Bobby Atkinson of
ACC, did some outstanding driving
to keep the Bulldogs in the game
until the last three minutes. At-
kin.son endjid up with 13 pioints.
ACC almost pulled even just be
fore the end of the first half, that
ended with East Carolina out front,
34-28, but after the intermission.
East Carolina came back strong to
push it;-; lead back up to about 10
points.
Prior to the game Coach Jack
Mc-Comas of ACC, had warned
ACC fans tht East Carolina had
the most improved club in the
conference. His warning was not
smoke in the air. The Pirates
showed outstanding speed and ac
curacy.
The opinion of most ACC fans
was that their club had played a
good game, but East Carolina had
simply played a better contest.
'The tw'o temas will get back to
gether on Saturday, February 20,
in a game to be played on the
East Carolina College campus in
Greenville.
Bulldog supporters are hoping
that the outcome can be some
what different in that contest.
It will be the final game of the
regular campaign for 'the two
teams and the following week both
clubs will go into the annual
North State Conference Tourna
ment to be held at Lexington.
