Louisburg Hosts Aimual Turkey Tournament
Louisburg College will be
the scene of the sixth annual
Thanksgiving Tournament on
November 29 and 30. Teams
competing, along with the
host Hurricanes, are Wingate's
Bulldogs, Sandhills' Trojans,
and Brevard's Tornadoes.
Wingate has been a partici
pant in the tournament in
each of the last three years. It
will be the first appearance
for Brevard and Sandhills.
Sandhills will bring a
colorful character to the
tournament in the person of
Coach Bill Stainback who
coached at Coopers High
School and Wake Forest High
School before he became
coach of the Trojans. The
Trojans are led by two sharp
shooting guards, Marcus
Rivers and Monty Beeson.
Both are 5'11" operatives and
are sophomores. Two other
aophs 6'6" Floyd Wilson and
6'3" Hal Chambers furnish
good board strength for Sand
hills. Coach Stainback states
'The main strength of this
team will depend on the
strong back court duo of
Beeson and Rivers - 1968-69
co-captains. Rivens was an
outstanding scorer last year,
compiling an average of 20
points per game and Beeson is
an excellent defensive player
and offensive quarterback of
the team. Chambers is an
outstanding defensive player
and adequate rebounder."
Sandhills participated in
the Mount Olive Invitational
Tournament last weekend
and won over Chowan 70-67
in the opening round only to
host Mount Olive by a score
of 96-91 in overtime. On
Friday night they will tangle
with Brevard at 7:00 p.m. to
kick off the Louisburg Tour
nament.
Coach "Chic" Martin's
Brevard team has three
sophomores returning to at
tempt to better last year's
record of 12-13. Co-captains
Gary Cross, at guard, and
Dale Faulk, at forward, lead a
team that will have good
overall height and good ball
handling. Freshmen Greg
Headen from Liberty, N. C., a
6'5" center, will have a lot to
do with how strong the Tor
nadoes will be. Coach Martin
commented "If Headen
comes through for us we will
have a good year." Joe Kagel
6'4" forward will team with
the 6'4" Faulk to give the
Tornadoes a tall front court.
Bill Connell expects his
Wingate team to be weaker
than last year's team due to
inexperience. However, the
Bulldogs have a 6*9" Boyce
Spicer. another sophomore
starter from the 1967-68 sea
son will help give the Bulldog
a tall front line. Coach Con
nell always has a well discip
lined club and, although, he
has the crying towel out. his
team is always a tough one to
beat
The host Hurricanes of
Coach Enid Drake have won
two games thus far in the
young season beating South
eastern 94-87 and Southwood
67-S2. The 'Canes have good
over-all height and excellent
speed. Coach Drake expects
his team to be quite strong
defensively with defensive
stars Larry Paschall from
Youngsville; Bob Walker from
West Edgecombe; George
Bowden, Nash Central: and
Sandy Frazier, from Northern
Nash. In two games thus far
Dick Driver. 6'7" center and
Terry Davis, 6'4" forwoard,
have led the 'Canes scoring
and rebounding. Driver has
scored 42 points and pulled
down 27 rebounds while
Davis has scored 28 points
and grabbed 29 rebounds.
Paschail has 9cored 32 points
and Walker 21 points in the
two games.
Starting guards for the
'Canes are Walker and Pas
chail and they are backed up
by the very capable play of
Bowden. Driver, a much im
proved player over last year,
starts at center and he is
backed up by 6'7" Mike
Lynch and 6'6" Louis Ripley.
Davis and Frazier start at
forward, backed up by 6'2"
John Lewis; 6'5" John Kin
law, and 6'3" Mark Wilson.
The Hurricanes have not
won the tournament cham
pionship in previous years but
Coach Drake stepped out on
a limb this year and stated
that he thinks this is the year.
Tip-off time Friday night
is 7:00 p.m. Sandhills plays
Brevard in the opener and
Wingate takes on Louisburg
in the 8:45 second game. At
7:00 p.m. Saturday night the

'Canes Win Homecoming Game
The Louisburg College
Hurricanes triumphed over a
stubborn South wood five
Saturday night by a score of
67-52. The game was played
before a Homecoming crowd
of 1,200 spectators, enlarged
by a throng of people from
Youngsville. who came to see
two of their favorites, Larry
Paschall of Louisburg and E.
J. Wilder of South wood, per
form.
The game was close all the
way. Louisburg led 26-25 at
halftime. With 13 minutes to
go in the game the 'Canes had
stretched that lead to 44-31
only to see the Rams come
back to within one point
48-47 with 7 minutes remain
ing. With 4 minutes to go it
was 53-49 Louisburg when
two foul shots by George
Bowden, a field goal by Bob
Walker; a foul shot by Terry
Davis and a field goal by
Bowden put it out of reach
for the Rams at 60-49 with
2:11 left to play.
The first half as marked by
poor shooting and overall
tense play by both teams.
Wilder scored well for South
wood ending the half with 15
points. The match between
Paschall and Wilder material
ized in the second half when
Larry guarded E. J. until he
fouled out with eight minutes
to play. Wilder managed one
field goal against his former
teammate during that twelve
minute period. In the last 8
minutes Wilder added two
more foul goals to round out
his 21 total.
Dick Driver had 17 points
and 11 rebounds to lead the
Hurricanes. Davis pumped in
16 points, 11 in the second
half, and gTabbed 19 re
bounds. Bowden scored 10
points, all in the second half.
In addition to Wilder's 21
points Mickey Hodges scored
10 points for the Rams.
Hodges and Gary Van Camp
each grabbed nine rebounds
for the visitors.
Shooting percentages for
the game were practically
even with 37% for South
wood and 34% for Louisburg.
From the foul line the Rams
hit only 8 for 21 while the
Hurricanes converted 17 of
24 chances. In team rebound
ing Louisburg grabbed 46 to
Southwoods' 27.
Defensively Coach Drake
felt his team played better
than their opponents with
Sandy Frazier, Bowden,
Driver, Walker, and Paschall
all turning in good perfor
mances. When asked for a
comment Drake said, "Our
shooting was very poor but
the players continued to
hustle and play tough on de
fense and with Driver and
Davis controlling the boards
we were able to overcome our
inability to score. When Pas
chall fouled out I felt that
Walker and Bowden did a
good job of directing our
team."
The 'Canes play another
game in Holton Gym tonight
against the high scoring
Cougars from Chesapeake
Junior College. The Cougars
are 3-1 for the season and
have scored over 100 points
in three winning efforts
against College of the Albe
marle, Chowan and South

108-84.) In their only loss,
