McCrim mon, an ace playmaker, was chosen at a guard position re ceiving the 14th highest number of points and Pridgen received the 8th highest number of points out of the 27 players voted for. During the regular season, Mc Crimmon averaged 12.6 points per game, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. His season’s high was 25 points in an Eagle victory over J. C. Smith (110-90). He made 50% (or 8 for 16) of his attempted shots from the floor and 100% from the free throw line (or 9 for 9). Pridgen led the Eagles in scoring 19.8 points per game and rebounding 11.9 for the regular season. He made 16 for 23 field goals and 8 for 13 free throws.

Congratulations ‘Pete’ and ‘Ron nie Mac’! NCC Eaglettes led by sharp shooter Hilda Gedding won the first annual Shaw Invitational Extramural Basketball Tourna ment by defeating Shaw Uni versity in the finals 29-27. It was a tremendous effort for the Eaglettes as they trailed 9-0 late in the first period. In the second quarter Joan “Mountain” Lewis connected on three straight field goals to ig nite an upset. Carolyn Miller scored two field goals, and Hilda Gedding one for 12 NCC points while Carolyn Cheek, Barbara “Sensational” Miller, and Catherine Gamble threw up a crab-like defense, holding Shaw to but six free throws as the Eaglettes closed the gap to 16-14 at intermission. In the second half the play- making of Bonnie Henderson, the rebounding of Barbara Mil ler, and the scoring of Gedding proved to be too much for the opposition as the Eaglettes pulled off the 29-27 victory. The Eaglettes suffered a great set back in their 29-24 semi-final victory over St. Augustine College when star forward El- lanora Gregorie suffered a frac tured ankle and was lost for the tournament. Scoring honors for the two games went to Gedding with 19. CJarolyn Miller was second with 12, Lewis chipped in 9, Hen derson 8, Gamble and Gregorie added 5 each. Perhaps the most elated per son in the NCC camp was Coach Nancy Pinckney who returned home to defeat her old team and her cross-town foe. C3oach Pinckney served on the St. Augustine’s Physical Education staff last year, coaching the Falcon team. In the* men’s division top seeded and favorite NCC Eagles saw a 19-4 first quarter lead dwindle away as Shaw Univer sity pulled the biggest upset since Southern Cal and U.C.L.A. in downing the Eagles 59-54 in the championship game. Just as it looked like the Maroon and Gray was forever, both starting forwards Horace Cameron and Russell Price fouled out of the game. The Eagle quintet suf fered a further set back when scoring leader Pete Martin failed to show for the championship game. Martin had scored 23 points in the Eagles 57-48 semi final victory over St. Augustine College. Frank “Ole River” Bul lock led NCC in scoring with 18 points in the finale. Moses Bryant chipped in 12 and Terry Cole another 9 points. HOUSE OF STYLES The House of Styles is presenting a special on hairdos and treatments.
