AKA-Alphas Win
Championship
It was family night as the
■brother-fiister combination of
AKA and Alpha Phi Alphi won
league championships. The road
to the championship was a tough
■one for the AKA’s as they came'
Jrom behind in both contests in
defeating Delta Sigma Theta in
the semifinals 21-19 and Zeta
Phi Beta in the championship
^ame 27-17.
In the championship game the
Zetas took a 9-0 lead behind
the trick shot shooting of Doris
Corbett. Corbett got into early
ioul trouble causing her to play
the entire third quarter from
the bench. It was at this point
that the AKA’s took a command
ing lead (19-10) outscoring the
Zetas 19-1. Corbett returned in
the fourth quarted hitting seven
straight points to close the gap
to 19-17 but fouled out of the
game. Little Bynetta McNeal
immediately went to work to
pull the victors away to stay
27-17.
In the other sorority game
Delta Sigma Theta defeated
Zeta 'Phi Beta 18-2. Delta’s'
Vivian Harding was selected
the tournament’s most valuable
player.
Alpha Phi Alpha’s ride up
victory hill was a tremendous
one as the quintet defeated Phi
Beta Sigma 34-25, Omega Psi
Phi 2-0 in a forfeit game, and
Kappa Alpha Psi 40-38 for the
championship. Trailing some 15
points in the second half of
the championship game the
Alphas staged a come-from-
behind charge to a 38-38 tie
with 15 seconds to play. George
Parker hit a 20-foot jumper
from the comer to give the
Alphas the championship.
In other tournament games

ga Psi Phi 31-15 and Phi Beta
Sigma 41-17. Omega defeated

lected to the 1968-69 All-CIAA
first and second basketball
teams, respectively. 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. His season’s high came
against Winston-Salem State
when he scored 40 points. Prid
gen and McCrimmon are room
mates and served as co-captainS
of the 1968-69 Eagle basketball
squad. Pridgen is a senior and
is a prime pro prospect while
McCrimmon is a junior, thus
returning for another banner
year. Both should be commended
for their fine season’s work.
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.
