City basketball teams the groove after a glut ready to get back into of holiday tournaments Thursday, January 7.1988 Winston-Salem Chronicle Page B5 [By RANDY PETTITT I Chronicle Sports Editor While most people were taking I advantage of the Christmas and I New Year's holidays to sleep in and Itake it easy, basketball teams in I Forsyth County were as busy as I ever. For Glenn High School, it was f [he most joyous of holidays -- the ■ Bobcats' boys team upset favored fEden Morehead and captured the I schools' first Frank Spencer Classic. Glenn was locked in a 67-67 j lie with the Morehead Panthers ■ until head coach Napoleon Cloud f called a timeout to plot his strategy. Cloud sent his Bobcats into the I "elbow" offense, which saw Kevin I Thompson and Bryant Feggins do I little more than stand still. The Bobcats tried a backdoor I layup, but missed and Morehead I aj^ared to have made the plan fail. But on the oUict end, Feggins I snared the defensive rebound of I Donnie Seale's missed one-and-one 110 end the threat. Glenn won the g^e at the free [ throw line, prevailing 74-69 thanks 0 clutch free throw shooting from I Shawn O'Neill. "Obviously, we're real pleased t to win the Spencer," said Cloud. "I thought our second-round [win over Mount Tabor was Just as [important to our morale as winning I the Spencer, though. Both of them were big wins for s, but the kids especially wanted to [win that one. "I don't think we’ll be compla- I cent or anything. The kids realize I how tough our league (the Metro I Conference) is. Nwth Forsyth and ■ Carver imiH'essed us. We know we I have to come ready to play."

Glenn resumes action Friday night when they travel to Greens boro Dudley. For North Forsyth, it was a successful holiday break as well. The youthful Viking boys upset North Surry in the opening round of the Spencer Classic and hung tough before bowing to Eden Morehead, 74-71. The Vikings avenged an early- season loss to Mount Tabor and took a 69-63 overtime win for third place. Hie Lady Vikings finished run ner-up to Starmount in the Tobacco Road Classic, but they beat Mount Tbbor in the first round. Despite finishing 1-2 in the Frank Spencer Classic, Dick Jam- back says he thinks his Spartans will bounce back. "If they are the type of club I think they are, then we'll be okay," said Jamback. "We played well to get back into the consolation game (with North), but then we quit thinking in the overtime and lost" All Forsyth County varsity boys and girls teams saw some sort Hail Caesar!

Pearson, a standout at Alabama I A&M University, was one of four I wide receivers who played on the I Gray squad in the 50th Blue-Gray I All-Star Football Classic in Mont- I gomery's Cramion Bowl on Christ- I mas day. "It was a great feeling," said iPearson. "As a youngster, I Iwatched players progress from the ■Blue-Gray game to the pros and do :11. Now I've had the opportunity to play in the game." The 6-2, 190-pound wide receiver from Gilbertown, Ala., came away from the game confi dent of his chances to impress someone in the NFL. "T'm from a small school, but I think I proved to the guys in prac tice that I could play," he said. According to sources, several NFL scouts were impressed with Pearson’s pass-catching ability, but doubt his speed. He did not see many balls thrown his way during the Christ mas game, even though he was on the field a good portion of the nationally televised event. Pearson is ASU's all-time leading receiver with 124 catches for 1,829 yards and 16 touchdowns during his career. The Gray, coached by Duke’s Steve Spurrier and guided by his quarterback Steve Slayden, won the game on a Teddy Garcia 45-yard field goal with 47 seconds left. m\ PoFolks Sanchez From Page B3 He said hopefully all of this I year's participants will be invited I back next year. Bui the focus will ■ concentrate on attracting teams as I near as possible. "We want to keep this tourna- I mem local as much as possible," he "We want to get as many of I the city teams involved as we can.” Sanchez has already stirred the Winston-Salem community with his instant success at Wake Forest. Now his goal is build a successful rapport with the local high schools. Now that the first step has been made, more are sure to follow. "Now we'll just take the ball and run with it," he said. 'We have great hopes for this tournament. It could blossom into something really big." Sanchez is ready to go the dis tance for women's basketball - he always has. !$ 1.99! ‘-—SPECIAL—-' YOUR CHOICE .
