Eagle Sports pa^e6 April 8.1981 The Gold bowl ^oes over the rainbow! The NCCU Eagles are practicing for a great upcoming seasson. Softball team a hit By Edwin Horsley Samuel E. Vaughn is the head coach of North Carolina Central’s varsity women’s softball team. A native of Henderson, N. C., Vaughn received both his undergraduate and master’s degrees at NCCU. When asked whether or not it is difficult to coach women, Vaughn commented, “Athletes are athletes from a coaching point of view. I don’t distinguish between males and females when I’m coaching. ’’ The team is currently 4-6 overall, and 4-1 in conference play. “The ladies have improved a great deal as the season has progressed. I think we have a great team. ’’ “Attitude, is a large part of any team’s success. This year’s team shows the winning type of attitude necessary to win, says Coach Vaughn, ...fortunately. Central has brought in good student-athletes. They seem to be mature and that’s good because I want to field the best team possible. I don’t always come up with the best combination of players, I make mistakes too. ’’ Coach Vaughn adds'that, “Support for this year’s team has been tremendous.’’ Continued Vaughn, “When I took over we had nothing. Now we have uniforms for our players, bats, balls, and the likS^. Transportation is also readily available to us when we need it. ’’ . Coach Vaughn encourages women who may want to play next season to come see him. “The more players that we have to choose from, the better team that we can field. ’’ The 1980 Gold Bowl IV souvenir program stated, “We (the Executive Board of Richmond Gold Bowl Spon sors) believe that one way to preserve our schools is to provide them exposure such as the Gold Bowl provides.” Yet on Saturday, April 4, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Com missioner Bob Moorman an nounced that the Gold Bowl game is being dropped! The Gold Bowl, played the last four years in Richmond, Va., was supposed to feature the CIAA champion against the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s title holder. But, according to Moorman, the champions often played in the NAIA or NCAA Division 11 tour naments instead because By staff and wire service reports the Gold Bowl was the 12th game of the season and thus kept its participants out of any other post-season action. As a result, second place teams occasionally ended up in Richmond. Moorman said that, begin ning this season, all 12 schools in the CIAA that field football teams will play a 10-game schedule.. The conference title between the Northern and Southern divi sion champions will count as the 11th game, after which the contestants can still move into post-season games. Instead of the Gold Bowl there will be a conference game between the two CIAA division champions. The title game will be held on November 21 in Charlotte. The ClAA’s Nothern Divi sion members are Virginia Union, St. Paul’s, Norfolk State, Hampton Institute, Elizabeth City State and Bowie State. The five Southern division teams that field football squads are Winston-Salem State, North Carolina Cen tral, Fayetteville State, Johnson C. Smith, and Liv ingston: St. Augustine and Shaw don’t play football. The North Carolina Cen tral Eagles, returning to the CIAA conference after being in the MEAC since 1971, came in first place in the CIAA conference this past year. The Eagles tallied a 7-0-0 record in the con ference and a 7-5-0 record overall. The 7-0-0 record enabled the Eagles to go to the Gold Bowl against the North Carolina A&T State Universi ty Aggies. The Eagles had a good of fensive game as Carl Sanders had a career high 114 catches for 1,960 yards. Roscoe Burnette had 660 yards in 145 carries. Burnette along with Michael Worthy and Benjamin Tate tallied 1,597 of the 1,719' yards accumalated by the Eagles’ rushing unit. The Eagles have 15 starters returning and four top newcomers in quarter back Danny Smith from Durham, quarterback Gerald Bridgers from Tar- boro, runningback Clifton Kersey from Clarksville, Va., and guard Zonta Laney. >»♦ 1981 North Carolina Central University Softball Schedule O o O (I o O o O o It It o O II 11 II II II II o II II II 11 II 11 Date Opponent Site Time March 12 Shaw Raleigh, NC 2:00 24 Winston-Salem St. Elizabeth City Durham.
