Control Finishes Second In
CIAA Tournament
North Carolina Central University, under the tutelage
of mentor Sandra Shuler, finished second in the 2nd
Annual CIAA Volleyball Tournament held Friday, Oc
tober 31 and Saturday, November 1 in NCCU's
McDougald and Women's Gymnasiums.
"I was quite pleased with the performances of our
team in the tournament." remarked an ecstatic Shuler.
"The Ladies upended two strong Northern Division
teams in Hampton and Norfolk State and really gave
the St. Augustine's Falcons a tremendous scare in the
championship game."
The Eagles' volleyball performance only gave Central
hope for the immediate future. For the Eagles will miss
the services of senior Shelia Mangum, but will return the
other ten players.
Four Eagles Jacquelyn Pinnix, Diedra Soloman,
Ingrid White and Aurora Benn, were selected to the
ALL-CIAA Tournament Team.

HAMPTON, VA.- It
seems that in every story
about Hampton Institute,
the name of Dennis
Mahan appears near the
top. No one can talk
about the Pirates without
speaking, in reverant
tones, about the Pirate
running back who came to
the school from the
University of Tennessee.
Pirate fans got their
first glimpse of the star
against New York Tech
when he dashed 81 yards
for a score against the:
Bears. The run set a new
Hampton Institute school
record for the longest run
from scrimmage. The old
record of 77 yards was set
in 1878.
So far, Mahan has had
scoring runs of 8 1 , 73 , and
60 yards. If that is not
enough evidence, consider
his rushing average is 8.6
yards per carry. He is also
the second leading receiver
for the Pirates and has ;
snared a near-record pass
covering 66 yards..
As Bowie State coach
John Organ stated, "He's
the fastest running back in
the conference, without a
doubt. He's just another
running back until he
turns the corner on the
outside, then he turns on
the speed and it's all over.
Mahan is a near-legend
at Martinsville where he
helped lead Martinsville
High School to a 45-3
record and the 1976
Group AA football
crown. The flashy
halfback rushed for 4,456
yards during his career
and holds the Virginia
High School League
(VHSL) record for most
touchdowns scored in a
season and in a career.
Little wonder why such
schools as Virginia Tech,
Tennessee and Auburn
' were interested in Mahan
when he finished high
school. "He received
literally hundreds of
scholarship offers when he
finished high school,"
Martinsville High football
coach Dick Hensley
remembers. "He could
just about pick and choose
what college he was going
to attend."
When all was said and
done, Mahan decided to
play football for the

and for coach Johnny Ma
jors. But right from the
beginning, when the
preseason workouts
started, Mahan knew he
didn't fit in. After two
weeks of preseason
workouts, Mahan left
Knoxville and returned to
Martinsville.
Hampton President
William R. Harvey learn
ed that Mahan had left
school and contacted
Pirate coach Walter
Lovett. "He told me right
after we finished playing
Shaw in Raleigh, to go to
Martinsville and talk to
Dennis," Lovett
remembers.
"So on Sunday, after
our game, I went up there.
There were about a dozen
coaches from other
schools lined up in the
yard waiting to see Den
nis, but they wouldn't let
any of them in the door,"
Lovett laughs. But when
Lovett introduced
himself, he was allowed
in. The soft-spoken, easy
going coach invited
Mahan to visit the Hamp
ton campus and to make a
decision afterwards.
"I knew that everybody
was pushing him trying to
get him to sign. I decided
to soft sell him and invite
him down to Hampton. . .
.no strings attached,"
Lovett explains.
Mahan visited Hamp
ton for several days and
then returned to Mar
tinsville. "About a week
later I got a call on the
phone. Dennis was at the
Greyhound station in
Hampton with all of his
stuff. He was ready to
move in, register and start
class," the seventh year
mentor recalls.
Mahan was not eligible
that first year after
transferring from Ten
nessee. But great things
were expected from the
youngster last season. In
the team's first game, at
Liberty Baptist, he dashed
60 yards for a touchdown
the very first time he
touched the ball in college.
He finished that game
with 113 yards rushing
and scored two

UITII GOLDEN DULLS
.. Homecoming at NCCU Saturday
Nine weeks ago, you could
have gotten rich had you
predicted that NCCU would win
the CIAA Championship. Only the
die-harded, who knew the trials
and tribulations that had been
conquered by the indomitable
Central football coach and athletic
director Henry C. Lattimore,
could have predicted such a year.
Saturday, Central celebrates its
Homecoming by hosting the
pesky Johnson C. Smith Golden
Bulls. The Eagles, 6-0 in the
CIAA, 6-2 Overall, have clinched
a tie for the CIAA Championship.
They boast the third best offen-

and 11 touchdowns. His favorite
receivers have been the
diminutive Carl Sanders and Vic
tor Hunter.
Sanders, the all-time receiving
king at NCCU with 102 catches,
has 27 receptions for 418 yards
and 4 touchdowns this year.
Hunter, a 5-9 170 sophomore
from Laurens, S. C, has 22 cat
ches for 331 yards and 8
touchdowns. He had 3
touchdown catches against
Elizabeth City as the Eagles clin
ched a tie for the crown.
Central's stellar runmngback
Roscoe Burnette, the thtro
leading rusher in the CIAA with
660 yards in 145 carries, has
been lost for the year with a knee
injury. His backup, freshman
tailback Michael Worthy has 440
yards in 98 carries.
The Eagles are averaging 309.3
yards in total offense; 184.9
