As Enid Drake leans back in
his swivel chair and puffs on
his friendly pipe with pictures
of; former Cane standout
Jeff Barlow (who went on to
I play for Dean Smith at North
Carolina) adorning the walls of
[his rustic office, one quickly
realizes the experience in this
rugged North Carolinean.
Drake has been the basketball
coach for the Canes since 1965.
through his many years at the
helm of the Canes basketball
program Drake has seen many
changes in basketball on the
junior college level. The
program at Louis burg has
grown and improved during
his long tenure as head coach.
The competition has gotten
stiffer due to a more
competitive schedule as has the
difficulty in recruiting.
When asked about the 1984-
85 edition of Hurricane
basketball Drake responded, “If
we can get everybody healthy, I
feel confident going into the
conference tournament. With
the exception of two teams, we
know all our conference
opponents. I feel each
opponent we have lost to is
beatable. If everybody comes
together, I feel our chances look
bright for the tournament.”
Drake came to Louisburg in
1965 after serving eleven years
at Middlesex High School in
Nash County, where he was
head basketball coach. He also
coached girls basketball for
seven of his eleyen years at
Middlesex. Drake is a physical
education major from Wake
Forest as well as a holder of a
Masters Degree in Education
from East Carolina University.
Enid Drake has served the
college of Louisburg quite
admirably as a teacher, coach
and member of the community.
The students of Louisburg
College should be grateful as
well as proud to have Enid
Drake at their service.
