The Yellowjackets, who tied Ih Greensboro Page at 9-1 for the --^tro jayvee title, relied on )l/(Birles Forward as their biggest pplier of rebounds. Forward Sferaged 12.7 rebounds a game and 1 occasion cut loose for double- llSjpre scoring. Carver won the Wilkes Central iSSfrior Varsity Tournament over the ffistmas holidays, making them tSSl! only county team to win such an ent. The fastbreak shamed IJfount Tabor early and nearly eryone else, too. I25tl ‘ Put It Up Patterson I9ti Wayne Patterson, like the rest ,6jhis West Forsyth teammates, was >t afraid to shoot the basketball. The Titan sophomore averaged r.4 ppg and 10.8 rebounds per 2>'ntest while shooting a collective Patterson, also an excellent intfilball player, was one of West’s ’’w inside threats. Ah Mark Passarello and Brantley ^^ith weren't scared to shoot Both of the West guards were most dead even statistically, with fiSijiith being a superior percentage w Smith averaged 12.9 ppg and ttnected on 60 free throws while Supporting Cast Carver lost a few players to promotions and injuries late in the sea son. But the Yellowjackets strong fast break and stocked bench led them to an impressive 17-5 campaign (photo by Randy Pettitt). Passarello, who is best remem- ^j^pd fw his goggles and a stagger- g three-point shot, averaged 12.6 lints despite shooting only 37%. “"e made 66 free throws and on two xasions pulled West out of the (Tying pan. Coach Mike Huddleston's sur- jjlising bunch changed their strale- Jh to a|porc deliberate style and V result was an eight-game win- ng streak and a runner-up finish the CPC. 'We|eally came on at the end the year," said Huddleston, the of the Year with Martin Mount Tabor. "I'm really proud of our kids, re were a few times when it :ed we were sure to lose and ^jy sucked it up and won the bail ie. That's the mark of a good I Had it not been for an out- adjustment at the half and Lyons held Besecker scoreless while Pas sarello had the hot hand. 'We needed two or three defen sive players like him and we would've been in business,” said Reynolds' rookie head coach. Trzaskoma endured an up and down 11-8 season with another con sistent scorer in Jaymar Thomas. The forward was near double fig ures all season long and sporadical ly had fantastic nights both rebounding and scoring. Vikings' Valuable Man Though more people were familiar with Tbdd Jenkins, Coach VG. Simpson said that Eric Scott was the Vikings' most valuable asset. "I just think he was our best ballplayer during the whole sea son," said Simpson, whose Vikings wrapped up a decent year at 9-11. I'm really proud of our kids. There were a few times fen it appeared we were sure to lose and they sucked : up and won the ballgame." : -- Mike Huddleston West's head jayvee coach ] r- pding season from Mount Tabor, Ist would've been the kingpin in CPC. Vl "We're pretty happy with sec- place," said Huddleston. "Look how good the first-place Lane Lovin'Lyons .1 m George Lyons of Reynolds f Imed fond of the lane this year.

But Lyon's cup of tea rests with I defensive ability. : Coach Norman Trzaskoma is ^d-pressed to find a better [enseman in the county. "We always put him on the per team’s best offensive player," tl Trzaskoma. j "They usually don't do very ich with him on them either." ^ Lyons held guard Mark Pas- fello scoreless in Reynolds' sec- d meeting with West Forsyth, lile Kerry Besecker went wild for points. Trzaskoma made the defensive "Eric scored, played defense and was a good team player." Jenkins, the Vikings' scoring leader, was known for his outside shot and penetration moves to the hoop. Regarded as one of the favorites in the Metro, North had trouble with the Greensboro schools and Carver. But, so did the rest of the league. Terrick The Terrific As Parkland Coach Don Puck ett so amply put it, "We don't have much, but we’re not bashful to put it up." Tbrrlck Miller, the Mustang’s heart and soul offensively, adhered to that advice with successful results. Often one of the shortest play ers on the court. Miller made up for it by seizing the moment on transi tion buckets and with swift cuts to the basket on offense. Parkland put a king-size scare in Mount Tabor during their second swing through the CPC thanks to a county-high 32 points from Miller. The Mustangs lost 58-56 in the final seconds. "They had a 6-5 boy (Kyle Macemore) put back a missed one- and-one," Puckett recalled. "We didn't have anyone over 6- 1, so we didn’t have anything to be ashamed of. We won that game really, they just outscored us." While Miller was the offensive flash for Parkland, Kevin Tedder went almost unnoticed. The scrappy 6-1 sophomore was the Mustang's most improved player, splitting time at center and at the big forward slot. He was one of their best rebounders, but made the all-city/county team for his desire to improve and learn the game of bas ketball. Swishin' Swaim While varsity coach Napoleon Cloud ponders how to replace Julius "Jukie" Minor next season, the answer may be right under his nose. Matt Swaim, who possesses better than average skills, was a coaches' dream. 'Tell him something once and consider it done," said jayvee head coach Swandell Cloud of Swaim. "Matt listens to what you say and he does it whether he thinks it's right or not." What the sophomore did was wear out quite a few nets and mttke passes rivaled only by the varsity. The Player of the Year candidate averaged 11.5 points a game and led the 8-11 Bobcats in assists. His accomplice was Andre Owens, who led Glenn in scoring with 12.0 a contest and had a num ber of assists as well. Glenn’s crowning achievement was a comeback win over Dudley mid-way through the season. The Panthers held a 20-point cushion before Swaim and Owens ganged up to lift Glenn to 71-63 win. It's A Dirty Job In a county loaded with basket ball talent, someone has to occupy the cellar. That distinction belonged to East Forsyth, which was led by their most consistent performer, Byron Johnson. Johnson was good for 10.9 points a game and twice reached the 20's in two of their four wins. \brsity coach Ron Jessup was quick to come to the rescue of his jayvee mentor, Doug Shields. "It's all my fault," Jessup con fessed. "I kept all of his ballplayers on the varsity. I didn't leave the cup board bare for the girls coach, but I made up for it with the jayvees, I guess." Shields laughed in agreement. "I guess if I had three of his sophomores, then I would’ve won one or two more.” But ballplayers sometimes do grow on trees in Forsyth County. And these 20 are ripe for the varsity picking.
