I Prep Bqsketbqll Parity rules in j BrOAVtD BULLA ?< : Chronicle Sports Editor After only two weeks of play, it looks as if this will be a year of parity in Forsyth County basketball. With Brian Howard and Jeff Denny getting their initiations to the Atlantic Coast Conference, North is no longer &e dominant force it was the last two years. Still, the Vikings have ho dearth*of talent and are fn no danger of finishing dead last in the Metro 4-A Conference. But Mount Tabor's win over the Vikings last Friday night served as a case in point that no game represents a breather . "The county is as even I've ever seen it," North Coach Olon Shuler said. "Parkland and East have to be the favorites at this time. Everybody else is just behind them." Mount Tabor received an 18-point outing from senior guard Tyrone Lewis to produce the 64-60 win. So, after the first two weeks of play, no team was unbeaten. North and East were 3-1, Parkland and Reynolds 2-1 and Carver 3-2. And the battle for the county's final two berths in the Frank Spencer Holiday Classic was a dead heat between North, Carver, Reynolds and Mount Tabor. 1 Once Bitting Parkland only got three offensive rebounds against East last Friday night, but William I "Bam" Bitting's follow shot with three seconds left lifted the Mustangs to a 37-35 win over the previously unbeaten Eagles.

"Ced missed, but Bam was right where he was supposed to be and he tapped the ball in left-handed." Muse credited his team with a solid defensive effort that produced the narrow win over the taller Eagles. Ram Report Arch-rival A&l By DAVID BULLA Chronicle Sports Editor GREENSBORO - North Carolina A&T continued its recent mastery of Winston-Salem State with a convincing 69-55 win over the Rams last Friday night. The Aggies made the most of two Ram droughts in the first half to get a working margin at halftime and ease to their seventh straight win over their arch-rival. It was also A&T's second win of the season after beating Detroit 88-72 in its season opener Monday. WSSU (3-2) went five minutes, 40 seconds without a basket to start the game and then amIu maHo nn?

"But basketball is a game of spurts. After all, we outscored them 13-2 after they had gone up 10-0." If it looked as if the Rams were late arrivals who weren't quite ready to play, that was the case. Weekend rush-hour traffic had slowed to a snail's pace because of an accident near the Wendover intersection with Interstate 40 in west Greensboro. As a result, the WSSU caravan arrived at Corbett Sports Center only 30 minutes before game time. (WEEK n Chronicle~ ^ !?!! ms whip ECSU bounds.

Sizing up the situation, A&T Coach Don Corbett dirwt??H Vii? ti?am tn on aaainct cmalW Rams. Lee Robinson, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound forward, scored eight of the Aggies' first 12 points. "I've been waiting for a night like this for a long time," said Robinson, who is known for his highpercentage shooting ability. The junior from Wagrun, a 55-percent career shooter, finished with a perfect four-for-four shooting night and 11 points in 26 minutes of action. "We wanted to probe their weakness inside, take advantage of our superior physical strength and not shoot the long shot," Corbett said. The Aggies' inside players outscored the Rams front line 40-12.

We were successful because we either shot layups or got fouled. But that wasn't enough/* Davis led the Mustangs' defensive effort. The Mustang guard held Scott Bailey to no points before Davis fouled out with 3:36 left in the game. Bailey, who finished with four, was averaging 26 points a game. < ? i Davis and Lineberger paced Parkland with 10 1 points each. Kevin Mumford led East with 10. The East girls, ranked fourth in the state in one early-season poll, remained unbeaten with a 66-32 victory over Parkland (0-4). Susan Harrison, a transfer from Bishop McGuinness, scored 16 to pace Coach Ron Jessup's team (4-0). Makeba Hentz and Ashley Woods added 12 each. Jessup praised the play of Harrison, but he said it was too soon to tell just how good his unbeaten club is. "It's hard to tell how good we are right now," Jessup said. "We may not know anything until after Christmas. "But we have everybody back except Pam Fulton and Traci Winfree. We're a solid team." Fulton is playing basketball at Greensboro College, Winfree volleyball at UNC-Asheville. But the addition of Harrison and the play of two sets of twins - Makeba and Maleka Hentz and Michelle and Lori Nagel - make the Lady Eagles a good bet to improve on last season's 19-6 mark. East will play North in early January. The Lady Vikes, 17-6 last season, won all three games against the Lady Eagles a year ago.

But Hooper, the allCIAA swing man, attracted first-half foul trouble, picking up his third with 3:54 left in the half. Teammate Gary Cromartie, WSSU's best rebounder,* drew his third with six minutes remaining in the half. 44 At the beginning of the game, they (the referees) were letting us play aggressively,'* Hooper said. 4'They were letting us come over each other's back, using our hands and stuff. Then they just started calling touch fouls in the last 10 minutes of the half. 44When the refs call 'em like that, there's nothing anybody can do." Still, Hood and Spell did get the Rams back in the game with their patient perimeter game. Hood scored WSSU's first seven points to lead the 13-2 run Corbett alluded to earlier. SpelPs steal and layup with 9:41 left in the half gave the Rams their first and only lead of the game. Aggie guard George Cale retaliated with the first two 9f his game-high 18 points on a 17-footer. Cale, the 6-6 senior from Middletown, Del., finished with an eight-for-12 shooting night in 40 minutes of , play. > Please see page B5 I ' * (
