Carolina Hornets roll
from B1
Nevertheless, the Hornets
were able to do enough on the
offensive and defensive end to
convince Jabbar that they are
making progress as a team.
"I think our defense has
improved over the last two tour
naments," Jabbar said. "I was
quite pleased with our defense."
On offense, the Hornets were
able to take advantage of?their
opponents' turnovers and convert
them into easy layups. When the
team went to its half-court
offense it was able to locate the
shooters and get them the basket
ball.
"We have a couple of shoot
ers and when they're out there
we're usually going to be okay
on offense," Jabbar said. "But
we're still trying to step up
defensively and continue taking
steps in the right direction."
Jabbar said his team put a lot
of time into perfecting its 1-2-2
zone trap on defense.
"We've practiced it a lot and
we hope that's something we can
rely oh as we go into the state
tournament," Jabbar said. "We
think with that we can take our
opponents' guards out of the
game."
But there are still some areas
where the Hornets have to work
defensively, according to Jabbar.
He said he hopes the team's man
to-man defensive skills will
improve.
"We'll go into the state tour
nament on a good note, but I still
think our defense is not where
we want it to be. We'll be work
ing on it the next two weeks."
From an individual stand
point, Jabbar said the Hornets
have several players who came
up big during the tournament.
Kedrick "Big" Carpenter settled
the team with his play-making
ability at the point. Although he
didn't put up a lot of big offen
sive numbers he controlled play
and was able to get the ball
inside to the Hornets' post play
ers.
Reid also played well and
was among the team's leading
scorers in all three games. Drum,
Baker, Dinkins and Jordan also
turned in consistent games for
the Hornets.
Overall, Jabbar said the team
is making great strides. Although
he has been coaching AAU bas
ketball for a decade, Jabbar is in
his first year with the Hornets'
program. Jabbar said he, his
assistants, Ken Love and John
Alexander and the players are
beginning to jell as a unit.
"It's a great mix," Jabbar
said. "I'm with an organization
that has established an excellent
reputation. It is a program that is
on the forefront as far as acade*
mics and athletics are concerned..
"We get great support from
v the Central YMCA and we have
a tremendously strong volunteer
base. It's a joy and pleasure to be
part of an organization that is
first class."
Matthew Dinkins of the Carolina Hornets goes airborne for two points.
AAU Basketball Pool Play Tournament

olina Hornets' program.
"We've been very blessed
in that category," Black said.
"People like John Allen from
the Kappa Magic and others
who have been associated with
the Winston Lake program over
the years have been there for us
when we needed them. We've
been able to pull in a lot of
people to help us."
In addition to having lots of
volunteers, there are a lot of
logistical situations that have to
be dealt with by the organizers.
"We have to plan every
thing, from the people selling
tickets at the door, to people
working in concessions and
keeping the score book. It takes
a lot of effort from everyone
involved."
Black is in his fifth year at
the helm of the program. Since
taking the slot in '92 he said
the program has grown in scope
and direction.
Michael Drum of the Carolina Hornets breaks free for a lay up in last week?
end's tournament hosted by the Winston-Salem Basketball Association.
"We have changed our
organizational structure to
make us somewhat independent
of the YMCA," Black said.
"We're now the Winston-Salem
Basketball Association and we
do have our own board of
directors."
The group's focus has also
evolved, according to Black.
"What we try to do is con
centrate more on academic
averages and stress to them that
life is more than basketball. We
do scrutinize the report cards
and try to monitor the progress
of the kids in the program."
The program is going
through a transitional phase in
terms of the players in the pro
gram. But Black said it is still
as strong from an organization
as ever.
"There are some kids going
to other programs and there is a
lot of recruiting going on now,"
he said. "But we think we're
getting kids who like playing in
our program."
