The front office of the
Washington Bullets has been
known for drafting a few
novelties in their time. And, not
to be outffone by "Spud" Webb
ana "Tree" Rollins in Atlanta,
the Bullets have put together the
tandem of Manute Bol and
Tyrone Bogues.
At 7-6, Bol is already one of
the premiere shotblockers in the
NBA, and the 5-3 Bogues will
look mighty cute while standing
by his side for team photos'T
Bogues, who Washington
chose as their first-round pick
(12th pick overall), is without
question a great basketball
player.
In his four-years of aggravating
Tarheels, Terrapins
ana i lgers while at Wake Forest,
Muggsy established himself as an
impact player and a valuable cog
in the Deacon offense.
He left the Deacons as the
ACC's all-time leader in assists
(781) and steals (275).
But he will have to prove
liimself all over again in the-NBA
- and put up with the short jokes
as well.
Will the Bullets create a play
where Bogues dribbles throught
the legs of Bol and crashes the
backboard for a lay-up?
Will Bogues be accused of untying
the shoelaces of sevenfooters
he will have to guard?
Might the security guards confuse
him for the ball boy?
Bogues has heard the jokes
before. And while his opponents
were laughing at him, Muggsy
j ?t - -
was ariDDiing around them tor an
easy two.
The Bullet fans might giggle at
first, but with a heart the size of
Bob Lanier's shoes, he is sure to
win them over.
In an interview before leaving
to join the Rhode Island Gulls of'
the USBL, Muggsy hoped his
skills and not his size ? or laclc of ~
it, would win him a job in the
NBA.
"I want people to come watch
Muggsy Bogues because he is a
great basketball player, not
because he is only five foot, three
inches tall,'* Bogues insisted.
"I'm quite sure most of the
people know what I can do, but
there are always going to be some
' critics. I just give it a 100 percent
everytime I go out there, that's all
I can say."
Enough said.
Muggsy can play in the NBA.
Watch him.

A dynasty is coming to an end.
For the first time in 20 years,
Parkland High School will not be
hosting the state wrestling tournament.
But Parkland Athletic Director,
Coach' Homer Thompson,
said the tournament isn't moving
very far.
"East Forsyth will have the
4-A state wrestling tournament
this year, " said Thompson.
"We've done our part, and felt
it just time to let it go," he said.
Under the direction of Thompson,
Grant Queen and principal
A.C. Larrimore Jr., the state
wrestling tournament has been
held at Parkland for twenty
straight years. Thompson said a
"changing of the guard" brought
about the decision to not host the
tournament in 1988.
"We just won't be able to run
k anymore. Mr. Larrimore will
be talcing on a new job this fall as
an Area Assistant Superintendant
of the W-S/Forsyth County
Schools, and Coach Queen and I
have been in this game for more
than 30 years.
"We just wanted the North
Carolina High School Athletic
Association to have plenty of
time to pick a new site for the
tournament before we all retired
on them. They knew it was coming."
East Forsyth High School will

Talley and Waller
While Winston-Salem State
fans wonder why no one noticed
a medium-sized scoring machine
named Alexander Hooper, they
can console themselves that two
black college greats were taken.
Jamie Waller, Virginia Union's
high-flying dunkster, was the
New Jersey Net's third round
pick. He probably has a fair to
good chance of cutting the
mustard in the Garden State.
The 6-4 Waller will not be able
to leap over everyone in the NBA
as easy as one-two-three, but he
should help the Nets in some
areas.
Meanwhile, the Lakers were
smart enough to know a good
thing when they saw it. The Express
nailed down the services of
Norfolk State's Ralph Talley,
who was the last pick of the
fourth round.

is no easy task. With explosive

taken in the draft, among them
was Kenny Smith.
Smith, the All-American guard
from UNC, was the first round
choice of the Sacramento Kings
and the sixth player to be chosen
overall.
As usual, Smith was had little
to say.
"I'm just surprised it was
Sacramento," he said. "No one
from their club talked to me at
all."
Former Cavalier star and
European journeyman, Olden
Polynice, was taken by the
Chicago Bulls, but wound up in
Seattle. He was traded for Scottie
Pippen. The Bulls replaced
Polynice's absence inside, by
selecting Horace Grant of Clemson
a few picks later.
Then of course, Bogues went
to Washington.

be the new home for the State
4-A Wrestling Tournament as
confirmed by Athletic Director
Bob Sapp.
4'Yes, we are very honored to
be hosting the state tournament
this year," Sapp said.
East Forsyth, where the
Western Regionals were held last
season, expressed an interest in
holding the tournament when
Parkland decided to pass it to someone
else.
MThey did a super job with the
regionals last year, and they
deserve to get the tournament,"
said Thompson.
Sapp said it will be nice to have
Parkland's expertise just down
the road.
