The Yellow] ackets came into
the tournament with momentum
after knocking off defending
champion Reynolds in their previ
ous game.
In both games Carver used its
imposing front line, powered by 6-
6 freshman Cedric Graham and 6-
4 freshman Brian Mitchell, to dis
pose of the Spartans. Tim
Edwards also provided steady
leadership for the Yellowjackets
from his point guard position.
Mount Tabor, which also has
considerable size, led by 6-6 Kenny
Fearn, gave the Yellowjackets fits
throughout the game before final
ly running out of steam down the
stretch.
In the nightcap, R.J. Reynolds’
newcomers, Mike Davis and
William Conrad, provided a spark
to help the Demons advance to
the semifinals against Carver.
Davis’ explosive moves to the bas
ket helped power RJR to the vic
tory.
Freshmen teams from Mount
Tabor and Reynolds captured
opening victories in their opening
day battles. Mount Tabor opened
with an easy win over Parkland
and Reynolds made short work of
FIFT Academy.
The Spartans and Demons
battled for the championship for
the second consecutive year.
Mount Tabor captured the title
last year with a win over the
Demons and won two of the three
previous tournaments.
LIFT Academy’s freshmen,
playing their first game of the sea
son, started off well but couldn’t
sustain their effort in their loss.
The consolation game paired the
two participants from last year,
LIFT vs. Parkland. Parkland was
also short-handed in its loss to
Mount Tabor. The Mustangs had
difficulty matching up with the
taller Spartans.

a key win over Elizabeth City just
before leaving campus for the hol
idays. In that game, last Saturday,
the Rams jumped out to a 17-
point lead in the first half How
ever, the Lady Vikings, the presea
son pick to win the CIAA’s East
ern Division, fought back in the
second half before the Rams put
the game away down the stretch.
“We were in a dogfight
throughout the second half,”
Clark said. “But the girls kept
their poise and executed like we
need them to.”
After the Lady Rams return
from Georgia, they will have near
ly two weeks to prepare for their
first divisional game against St.
Augustine’s on Jan. 9. Clark said
the Rams will need the time to
refine their game.
“The Western Division is real
ly tough,” she said. “J.C. Smith is
playing real well and so are North
Carolina Central and Living
stone. We have to be ready to play
every night. There’s a lot of pari
ty. Even Fayetteville State is play
ing well against a good schedule.
“We have a way to go to get
where we want to be,” Clark
added. “We have a lot of little
things to do to be prepared for
our conference schedule. But
we’re getting better each day and
hopefully by January or February
we’ll be where we want to be.”
If the Rams can do that, Clark
believes the Lady Rams could be
in the winner’s circle at the CIAA
Tournament.
“To be honest, I thought we’d
have done that by now,” she said.
“We’ve come close, but we haven’t
gotten to the championship game.
But this is a good year. This is a
good group of girls and they have
some goals and objectives that
they want to reach. Maybe this is
the year that I also can accom
plish the goals that I’ve set for the
program.”

Duckett said. “And Jay is a really

While the Rams’ offense was
n’t up to par, WSSU played its
customary sound defense. The
Rams forced a total of 23
turnovers in the game, including
12 in the first half WSSU also
enjoyed a 41-33 rebounding
advantage.
