much worse than they have the
past couple of seasons. Two promising
juniors Kevin Besecker
and Jerome Morgan could figure
in Hawkins' plans, but 6-4 Derrick
Byers, a freshman has the
most potential of any Titan since
Norton Barnhill (remember
him?).
Still, the team to watch this
season will be North Forsyth.
After weathering through last
season, Coach Olon Shuler
should have plenty to smile
about. With 6-7 Scottie Johnson
and 6-5 David Carlvle to ao alone
with Howard, the only question
marks are at the guard positions.
In Howard, the Vikings have
the most talented player to come
out of Winston-Salem in a long
while. With the physical tools he
possesses, Howard can determine
the outcome of North's season..
In addition to that, a good season
from Howard will put him closer
to signing with a major college
power.
While Howard comes to the
4-A level with an enormous advance
billing, seniors Christian
and Mickens could hook onto big
time programs with outstanding
years. Overall, the 84-85 season
will be a competitive one. No one
team or player should dominate.

WakeFoi
By DICK DEVENZIO
Syndicated Columnist
How does Coach Carl Tacy
manage to keep Wake consistently
comnetitive in the ACC? Wake
can rarely get a top studentathlete
if Duke wants him, can
never get an all-American prospect
over Carolina, and cannot
compete for the good
, athlete/borderline student that
often goes to State.
Last year, nevertheless, Watodv
got into the final eight in the nation,
tying for third in the ACC
and beating DePaul before finally
losing to Houston in the
NCAA playoffs.
This year, the effects of not
having a home court, of practicing
in an on-campus "high
school" gym, and of not having
the full quota of players (eleven
are currently on the roster) will be
obvious in the win-loss column.
If Wake can eke out a victory

over urvv* in nua-ucccmocr, anu
get Wins in their comparatively
easy non-conference games, they
may be able to keep their confidence
- a great equalizer in
sports - and play beyond their
ability for awhile.
Assistant Coach Mark
Friedinger is one who tries to
bolster confidence. He's an optimist.
He points to the team's
unsurpassed forward, Kenny
Green (a proven star pointmaker).
He cites the ball handling
goyoower of tiny "Mugsy"
Bogxtes^gnd the overall ability of
off-guard Delaney Rudd. He
concentrates on the good things
that can happen, and in practice
Striking a balance, and being
more of a cricizfcr (teams need
both), the other assistant, Ernie
Nestor, showed HIS sense of
desperation on the practice floor,
one time screaming, almost
pleading, with Delaney Rudd "GET
IN HIS FACE,
PRESSURE HIM, GET HIM."
Coaches realize, better than
players, what they are up against.
The players don't see the other
schools practicing. They get their
confidence and their sense of progress
from their intra-squad
scrimmages. And at Wake, there
just isn't the competition.
Carl Tacy remains calm and
philosophical, determined to do
his best and hope for a banher
recruiting year, but I think he
would be justified in
demonstrating the sense of
desperation he must inevitably
feel. It is more than simply the recent
loss of forward Todd May,
who had star potential but hasn't
been counted on because of his
recurring injuries. (Even if he

does return to the team, it is
doubtful he will be able to play at
full strength.)
Throughout the practice I saw,

noise as workmen completed construction
on the roof. It had to be
distracting, but I get the feeling
that Tacy isn't the big boss at
Wake (or sports are not so highly
elevated in the. academic community)
such that he can go ranauthority.
Tacy takes the less-than-ideal
conditions in stride ? it's part of
the deal at W$ke - and he makes
the best of it. The practice was
limited anyway. The team is
already ailing, "beat up" so to
speak, and in need of a rest - and
it is only mid-November. When
Delaney Rudd seemed once to
badly twist an ankle on a layup,
.The gym got quiet. (Even the
jackhammers stopped, I think.)
Wake can't afford to lose anyone
to injury.
If the players truly understood
what they are facing, I wonder if
Rudd and Green and Bogues
would have come to practice just
a minute before the scheduled
starting time. They are going to
need a tremendous amount of extra
effort, and a very special ef

i.
year ahead
fort at developing a team
chemistry, just to win three or
four games in the ACC ? and
THAT effort has to come from
the stars.
I don't think the players realize
this adequately. Nor do 1 think
Tacy will be able to fill his big
man spot inside by rotating his
European rookie, Hartmut Ortman'(6'8"),
and his seven-foot
sophomore Craig Wessel. Both
look like they could be good in a
couple of years, but Tacy needs
them desperately ? in a couple of
months. And there is really no
one else to speak of.
ACC teams will go straight at
Kenny Green, to get him in foul
trouble, and they will take advantage
over and over of Wake's
frailty -- they are not only small,
they lack bulk too.
I exepct a long, frustrating year
for Wake, and a last place finish,
perhaps along with Clemson.
Looking at their schedule, I don't
see how they will be able to kepp
from losing 8 of their final 10
games. So they'll need all the
wins they can get early in the
season. If they stub their toe in
December on foes like Rollins
and Boston College, this could be
the worst year for Wake since
1928 -- when Billy Packer played!
