Brevard Cops Junior Classic Tournament
Shining brightly as a candle in a
dark room, Brevard’s Tornadoes
slaughtered top-seeded Asheville-
Biltmore 87-72, then eked out a 60-
57 win over tough Lees-McRae to
take top honors in the Junior Col
lege Classic Tournament November
27-28. Coach Martin’s cagemen
showed nothing but utter disregard
for A-B’s paper power, which Mar
tin proved by clearing his bench in
an effort to hold the score down.
For the Tornadoes in the first
game, Toim Barbee clipped the
chords for 28 points. Alton Jones
was second with 18, while Glover
Coggins pulled down 10 rebounds.
Teamwise, Brevard was 75 per cent
accurate fro'm the foul line and 45
per cent from the floor, good in any
man’s league.
The second game with Lees-Mc
Rae, who had mauled Mars Hill
92-70 in their opener, was not so
easy, however. It was a nip-and-
tuck dog fight to the end, the lead
changing hands almost as often as

the ball did. With four minutes to
go, the Purples were on the short
end of a 56-53 score. Then, with
the clock showing 35 seconds left,
and Brevard still trailing 57-56,
Eller sank two free throws to put
the Tornadoes ahead with enough
points to win. Two more points
were needlessly added and Brevard
had won the tournament.
Captain Charlie Hensley bucket
ed 12 of the Tornadoes’ first 15
points in the championship game,
then added four more to lead Bre
vard in scoring with 16. Barbee was
second with 15. Lees-McRae’s Ar-
ville Cornette was game pacer with
18 points. From the floor, Bre
vard’s percentage was 38, but Lees-
McRae racked a fabulous 56 per
cent of all field goals attempted.
Runner up for the tourney was
scrappy Lees-McRae. Mars Hill was
awarded third place when Ashe-
ville-Biltmore rrfused to return to
the tournament the second night
due to what they felt quite strongly
was unfair officiating.

members, plans to present a pro
