GLENN Bobcats w By RANDY PETTITT Chronicle Sports Editor Coaeh Alan Hooker says . although Glenn is not exactly looking at an empty cupboard, he will admit there is some work to be done. "We have a bunch of guys bunched right together right now," said Hooker. "We have three new coaches and several positions to fill - because of graduation losses, so things will take some time to develop "Hopefully it won't take too 0 ^ JjflL JBbw^ - v j^BjEBEl Jones -, long to fill some spots apd for us to begin to come together as a team." At the quarterback spot, Johnny Wilson has the edge over East transfer Chan LaRue at this point according to Hooker. LaRue was a. much needed addition for the Bobcat secondary. Landon Gary has emerged as the Bobcats' top runner and a host_ of competitors are battling each other for time at fullback according to Hooker. g "P.arrybittck and Eric Green are , working at tight end and Maurice Smith, Shane Ring and John Eddieman arc wide receivers for Hooker. The offensive line includes llimUIINIIHIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNIIIIIIIINHINIIIIIIIinili Feggins F during the early moments of the third quarter. By the end of the third quarter, the All-Stars had managed to forge a 73-69 lead and looked well on their way to pulling off an upset over the heavily-favored Spartans. Maurice Leggette's 27 points and 20 from Cary Cauthen were not enough in the end, however. Concluding a wild flurry of action midway through the fourth quarter, Mount Tabor coach Ron Hollingsworth called a timeout with their team trailing 86-79. Led by the play of the smooth Phillip Glenn and Reggie Phillips in the backcourt, Mount Tabor broke the 14th Street press and had outscored them 11-4 when Fcggins tied the game at 90-90. During the Spartans rally to tie ihc~gamc, thetf efforts wcre-fueled? by six All-Star turnovers and nine points from Feggins. Leggette was then fouled and hit the first of two frcethrows to put the All-Stars back in front 91-90. It was to be their last lead of the game, though, as Mount Tabor clinched the game at the frcethrow line. After a Phillips jumper, 14th Street threw the ball away and ^ Phillip Glenn calmly tossed in a pair of freethrows to give his team a 94-91 edge with 31 seconds left .. 14th Street dribbled to the half court line,.but that was about as far as they got. Cauthen fumbled a bad pass from Morgan, and the ball eventually wound up in the hands of-Kevin Thompson, who slammed it home at the buzzer for a 96-91 4 final tally. Coach Lester James of 14th Street was pleased with the effort despite his team's failure to hold on down the stretch. ; "We just made some mistakes there at the end and it cost us the ball game," said James. "After the first half, we decided ,/ ill rely on yc reiurncr Weymouth Jones, Todd Stout, Jeff Nelson, Peter Scott and Derrick Bocholis. Defensively, the Bobcats have returner Maurice Smith ax defensive back, joining LaRue, Dick, Carlos Neely and Tony Gaither. The defensive line includes much of the same players on the offense, including Jones, Stout, Nelson, Scott and Bocholes. Some help fs expected from rising junior varsity players as reserves. Tim Williams will start at one linebacker spot and Hooker says the other is wide open at this point for seven competitors vying for the job. "I hope the non-conference games will give us a little time to develop some people," he said. 'With three returning starters on defense, you have to be honest and 4 admit we pretty green on defense. "We're not going to go wild experimenting or anything during those first few ballgames. A good scrimmage or two should help us figure out what we have a little better; * "Right now, it's hard to say about the Metro Conference. You can bet the house on Page for sure, but the rest is a little harder to predict. "If it came down to us playing East for the second playoff spot in our final game, than I wouldn't be disappointed with that kind of year," he said. The Bobcats have three new f coaches, but Hooker says things have went smoothly. "So far, the kids have responded to these new people real well. Anytime you change personnel, it makes things a little more difficult. "I'm real pleased with this staff and I feel good about it. The Metro should be interesting for us and everyone else. I just hope we are the thick of things. "I believe we have a good shot at it." niHimtifmiiiiiiimitniimiimiiHiiiiiitimniiiiiiimi rom Page B1 NMIimtMNfHIIIIIIIIIMMMIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIItllllllllllimil to take it to them and try to throw them off balance with the press. It was very successful and we got several easy transition baskets on their big men. "In the crunch at the end, things just didn't go our way. Even though we lost, we managed to come back and and make a game of it. I'm proud of our guys," he said. Feggins said he and his teammates were determined to come out r\n trtn Ull "We got our heads together after that final timeout," said Fcggins, who won theTMVP award Tor~ his efforts in the fourth quarter. 'We got the big lead by going inside to Kevin and Joe John, and we knew we had to get back to our game plan. We just played our game there at the end and that's why we came out on top. "When you've got two guys over 6-7 (Thompson and Bryant) matched up against 6-2 and 6-3 guys, you have to get it inside to them. We went back to that and won." Thompson said it was an exciting game, but closer than it should've been. 'We had a big lead and then got out of our ga.me," he said. "It was nice that we came back and won though. . "It was fun to play in a game like this. This has been a great league and this game shows the kind of talent that has been put together in this league. Playing in the summer helps us to keep sharp over until this coming season. It's almost like playing a high school game." Mount Tabor ended as regular season Champions, by winning the contest to finish with a 14-2 record. 14th Street ended up at 13-4. The WSBL will hold its championship tournament later this week, The Spartans and All-Stars are favored to meet again. * )uth to mak< 3^H b^!W> Chan LaRue cools off after a transfer from East Forsyth left back (photo by James Parker).
