Red Raiders, Bison expected to challenge in respective leagues High Point Control's dofonso holps to got its fastbroak offonso in goar. Tho Bison movod down a classification and will bo among tho loaguo favoritos this soason. BY SAM DAVIS The Chronicle Sportt Editor The boys basketball programs at High Point Central and High Point Andrews have experienced similar success as have their girls programs in recent seasons. While Central's boys haven't experienced the same success as its girls have in the state playofTs, Andrews' boys are only three years removed from a State 3-A champi onship. The move to different confer ences might help the programs to flourish. Central, which drops down to the 2-A ranks in the Central Carolina Conference, is in a rebuilding season. But the Bison are still expected to challenge for the regular season title. Coach Rick Larrick's team returns only one starter, Bryan Hill, but the Bison will be the league's biggest team. Veterans Jeremy Butler and Chris Heilig will vie for playing time at tnfc point, while Jeff Clinton, 6-6, is the most experi enced player in the post. The Bison will turn to 6-6 JefT Walden and 6-5 Kenyon Portee to give them a formidable front line. Both are newcomers. Portee transfered to the Bison from Westchester Academy and Walden missed the entire season with a torn posterior cruciate ligament. Tlie Bison could also get some minutes from an outstanding sophomore class that includes Chuckie Reed and Rashard Stevenson. "We have 10 kids that will play a Jot," Larrick said. "And we'll have about eight that we can start interchangeably. "On last year's team, every body knew where they were going, what they were doing and how much they were going to play. If this group can understand their roles, accept and fill those roles, we can be good." Frank Hairston, Andrews' coach, has an abundance of talent to take into the Red Raiders' new conference. The team is favored to challenge for the conference title. Conference coaches are point ing to two Andrews players as the league's finest. Adrian jjgjlson and Jason Blackwood were both named to the all-conference team last season. Wilson, a 6-3 forward, aver aged 16 points and eight rebounds. Blackwood, a guard, averaged IS points and five assists. Joining them will be Rod McCollum, a 6-6 freshman. The ojily negative for the Red Raiders is their youth. But Hairston believes that will help the team in the long run. "Along with Hairston, we have two other freshen on the team." Hairston said. "We are really try ing to build for the future." While Andrews' might be looking to the future, opponents expect them to be in the thick of things this season.

BY SAM DAVIS The Chronicle Sports Editor If early season success counts. East Forsyth's girls should have one its better seasons in quite a while. After Tuesday night's 76-19 blowout against Carver, the Eagles owned a 2-1 record. The lone loss being a 26-2S loss to North Forsyth in the opening round of the Mary Garber Classic last week in the team's opener. If the first three games are an indication of things to come, Coach Scott Sapp's Eagles will have both an inside and outside game for opponents to contend with. The inside game is powered by Sara Lewis, a 6-0, senior center. Lewis led the team in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots. She averaged 12 points, II rebounds and 7.5 blocked shots. "Lewis anchors our defense," Sapp said. Lewis also is the cornerstone of the Eagles' offense. She scored 22 points in East's victory over Carver. Monica Mikkola, a senior for ward, will be counted upon to help steady the team. Mikkola averaGed five points and five rebounds per game last season. Laura Scott's outside shoot ing will be needed to keep team's from packing their defenses inside. Scott, a junior, averaged eight points per game and two assists as sophomore last season. Scott showed her scoring ability by pumping in IS points against Carver. Scott was one of seven sopho mores on the East team a year ago. That group gained valuable expe rience that Sapp believes will pay dividends this season. "We have a tremendous amount of depth and maturity," Sapp said. "We are a quicker team, a more athletic team and we will be more versatile." Two of the more athletic play ers on the team are Adanna McDowell and Latisha Patterson. Patterson is freshman guard and McDowell is a freshman forward. That duo combined for 18 points against Carver, each scor ing nine points. In addition, the remaining members of the junior class are expected to provide depth. They are: Georgia Dillon, Catie Wood, Rachel Whicker, Amanda Vaughn and Jamie Junikin. If that group can show leader ship, along with seniors Lewis, Marty Overman and Mikkola, Sapp's team could be in the hunt for the Metro 4-A Conference reg ular season title.
