been riding a forty game winning
• streak on their home court had

second half.
The Quakers, who were down
25-23 at half time, grabbed the
lead when Chuck Scott scored
a basket and was fouled. He made
his free throw and the Quakers
f bounced into the lead, 26-25. From
that point, the Quakers held the
lead.
Guilford had a 56.8 shooting
percentage, hitting 25 of 44 shots.
Western canned only 25 of 73 for
a 35.6 accuracy.

Past, Present
With the Carolinas Conference Tournament less than a week away,
it seems fitting to discuss the past, present and future of what has
been a very fine season in the Carolinas Conference. Future super
stars have begun to rise, such as Henry Logan of Western Carolina
and our own Bob Kauffman. And it has been a season in which seven
of the ten teams have won more than half of their Conference games.
The tournament itself shapes up as an even battle between the
top eight Conference teams. Last year Lenoir Rhyne beat High Point
for the tournament crown. The same two teams met in the District
26 Finals and High Point reversed the favor and as a result the Liz
ards went to the NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City. The
trip to Kansas City is a long road to travel (no pun intended). A team
must be blessed with not only good shooting, rebounding and height
but bench strength as well.
Over the last several years Guilford and the Carolinas Conference
have come up in the world of basketball. The mid-western teams have
usually dominated the NAIA finals. But this year the winner in the
powerful Carolinas Conferences must be reckoned with as a potential
national champ. This comes as no surprise when we realize that na
tionally ranked High Point has lost its only games within the Confer
ence and has come close to loosing a few other Conference games as
well.
As for Guilford's chances, we need only recall last year's Confer
ence Tournament and the heroics of Chuck Scott and Dan Kuzma,
which led us to the semi-finals, where we narrowly lost to High Point.
This year Guilford, though young, will be a force to contend with.
Teams like Lenoir Rhyne already know it. Now we must prove it to
High Point!
THE GUILFORDI AN
BY DICK DIERKEB
5,000 Fans See
Guilford, High Point
Approximately 5,000 fans filled
the Greensboro Colosseum on Feb
ruary 2 to see High Point College
defeat Guilford 100-81 in a Caro
linas Conference Basketball Game.
Guilford's Chuck Scott sent the
Quakers into a quick 7-0 lead as
he scored the first seven points.
But High Point soon tied the score
at 10-10 with 12:25 remaining.
The lead see-sawed for the next
seven and one half minutes. At
that point, High Point's Kirk Stew
art ignited the Panthers by scor
ing six successive points.
The spree gave High Point a
46-34 half-time lead.
The Quakers were never able
to cut the High Point lead, al
though there were moments in
the second half when it appeared
as though Guilford might be able
to re-enter the ball game,
Guilford's Tommy Loftus was
the game's high scorer with 28
points. High Point's Kirk Stewart
had 22. The Quakers outrebound
ed High Point 52-45 and High
Point outshot Guilford with a 55.2
shooting accuracy.
Lenoir Rhyne Is Beaten 63-62;
Victory Attained in Final Seconds
DOWN BY SIX BIG POINTS WITH LESS THAN TWO MIN
UTES REMAINING, THE GUILFORD COLLEGE QUAKERS
OVERCAME THE CLOCK AND A PRESSING LENOIR RHYNE
DEFENSE AND IN THE PROCESS SNATCHED VICTORY FROM
WHAT HAD CERTAINLY APPEARED TO BE DEFEAT.
Lenoir Rhyne, behind 38-34 at
half time, fell behind by seven
when Chuck Scott hit two quick
baskets to begin the second half.
The Bears soon knotted the score
at 42-42 when Neill McGeachy hit
a jump shot with 15:52 remaining.
From that moment on, it was
nip and tuck as the opposing clubs
exchanged baskets.
But .'with 7:14 remaining, it
appeared as though Lenoir Rhyne
would finally break the game
open. Baskets by Frank Bua and
Aubrey Cochran put the Bears
ahead 58-54. At that point Le
noir Rhyne decided to play con
trol ball.
Lloyd Turlington put the Quak
ers within two points of the Bears
with 3:40 showing on the clock.
Lenoir Rhyne quickly bounced
back with a basket by Ed Miast
kowski and two free throws by
Mark La Moreaux. With 1:58 re
maining, Jerry Steele's Quakers
were down 62-56.
At that moment, when matters
looked the worst, the Quakers be
gan to move.
Bob Kauffman and David Odom
scored two key baskets. It brought
the score to 62-60, and it brought
the crowd to its feet.
With 0:52 left in the game,
Lloyd Turlington stole a Neill
McGeachy pass and dropped in a
layup. The score was now tied at
62-62.
Seconds later, Bob Kauffman
stepped to the foul line with a one
and one situation. The 6-8 Center
put Guilford into the lead with
0:34 remaining as he made the
first shot and missed the second.
The fans, who could no longer
contain themselves, watched as
Lenoir Rhyne grabbed the re
bound and went down court for
the final shot. With 0:08 showing
on the clock, Lenoir Rhyne's
George Deehan took a jump shot
from the right corner.. As it
bounced off the rim, Leon Young
grabbed the rebound and passed
off to David Odom, who threw
the ball into the air to kill the fin
al second of play.
Lenoir Rhyne outshot Guilford,
hitting 26-42 to Guilford's 25-56,
and grabbed 32 rebounds to Guil
ford's 26.
Out shot and outrebounded but
not out-hustled, Guilford finally
beat a team that has not lost to
the Quakers in a long, long time.
