Signing Day from page Bl Little's mother, Astria Thomas, said it was a day that the two had longed awaited. "I feel good about the choice Dewayne made," she said. "I think it is a good school and has a good history. I think he will do very well when he gets there." Tauric Rice had announced a commitment earlier to join Little at Hampton. However, he made a last-minute switch to Howard University. Howard made a big push to sign Rice at the last minute and he decided on the night before signing day that we would make the move. "I feel I have a better oppor tunity at Howard and I feel the a. ?? <* academics are a little better," he said. "I also have a lot of rela tives in that area." Tauric, the son of Ellis and Hedy Rice, never played in a losing conference game at Carv er. v His father said he was pleased with Tauric's choice. "I feel fantastic," he said. "I am very thankful that he is getting this opportunity." McCloud will have an opportunity to play against Jackson, Rice and Little when their teams take the field in the MEAC. McCloud signed with South Carolina State. McCloud's father and moth er, Worth and Jacalyn McCloud, accompanied him to the signing. He said it was ?n important day in their lives. "I fed great," Worth McCloud said. One of the goals in my life has been accom- - plished. I have my son signing a scholarship to one college and my daughter is in another. Kirby, also signed to play at an ME AC, choosing North Carolina A&T. Kirby, the son of Diane Kirby, led the Yellow jackets in rushing in consecu tive seasons. He was highly recruited because of his out standing speed. He was one of the top finishers in the state 3-A track championship last spring. His mother said she looks forward to seeing him play in college. "I am glad he chose to go to North Carolina A&T," Ms. Kirby stated. Be u REAL LEADER... TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY.

Players from page Bl > mounts also signed Rodmond Dunlap of Reynolds, who was named to the AP All-State team during the 1998 season. Dunlap led Reynolds in tackles for four consecutive years and set a record for number of starts for the Demons. Other signees included Lam ont Wilson of Parkland, who signed with North Carolina A&T, Wilson was an all-confer ence defensive lineman ffor the Mustangs and also played in their offensive backfield as the lead back for record-setting tail back Brandon Isaiah. '?* Parkland ??j i _? r-* ?-% .? ? from page B1 ? , ? With those players providing the firepower, the Mustangs'future was bright headed into this season. It got even brighter when Danny Gathings decided to leave East Forsyth and play with Crawford, his teammate in AAU basketball last summer. ? Gathings was the missing piece of the puzzle. With him in the line up, the Mustangs have operated like a well-oil machine. Although they've had bumps and bruises, scrapes and other mishaps, they have played like one of the favorites to make it to Chapel Hill for the State 3-A title. Only a loss to Reynolds in the finals of the Frank Spencer Classic separates the team /rom an unde feated record. Not that they haven't been tested. Friday's battle against Carver was one case in point. Despite illness and playing in front of a hostile crowd. Parkland was able to come away victorious. The Mustangs were hit hard by illness Press Box from page HI have hopes of him playing on a v national championship team? Yes, I did. Did I have hopes that he would be- a Heisman Trophy winder? Yes, I did. Are all those things gone? Probably so. Yeah, I am upset But did I have any imput? No, I didn't." There are several things about Jester's comments that are disconcerting. The first is: "shouldn't a student-athlete's interests be paramount in his or her decision to attend the college of his or her choice?" Or should high school coaches steer their athletes one way or another? If so, is that fair to the athlete or to the athlete's patents? But even more important, for the sake of this argument, is the ? ' reason for Jester's disappoint ment Part of it appeared to be Jester venting his frustrations because he felt Leak's future would be jeopardized by attend ing Wake Forest. But a lot of Jester's frustrations seemed to come to the surface because his reputation as a coach would be furthered by having sent a player to Notre Dame or Penn State? From the comments he made, it appears that it was Jester's desire to see Leak in an estab lished. "big-time" college pro gram. Because he chose Wake Forest instead of a program with a more impressive national repu tation. Jester became upset. And that is what African Americans should consider in II in the week, but the players still came through to earn the victory. "We talk a lot about things like that," Pennington said. "The kids have worked hard and they're still learning how to win." Although several of the starters were sick, the Mustangs' reserves came through with key perfor mances off the bench. They includ ed Camden Banner, Bill Fulton, Isaiah and Eric Islar. Banner burned the Yellowjack ets with three key 3-pointers. Carv er had made a run at the Mustangs and had the lead Cut to 51-46 with three minutes remaining in the third quarter. "Those are the things you have to do when you're in a tough game," Pennington said. "I knew Carver wasn't going to quit and it wasn't going to be an easy game for us." * . After clinching the league championship, Pennington said his team has to keep its focus as it goes down the stretch toward the con ference tournament and the play offs. Coach Caldwell this case. Far too often the per sonal needs or desires of our youngsters are overlooked. Leak's father wanted his son to be ^lose to home so he could watch practice and spend time with him. The elder Leak also wanted his son to build a rela tionship with a coach who could serve as a role model and^men tor. In Caldwell, he chose some one whose talent and ability transcends race. Nevertheless. Caldwell is someone who can still identify with the plight of African Americans because of shared experiences. That counts for something. If you don't believe that, just ask Notre Dame, which went home empty handed last Wednesday after Leak announced his decision L^V CHEVHOtfl ? OUKMOBUi. CADIIUC . PHI-OWNM tlNTtt .
