No fans were happier than six Winston-Salem Tiny Indian foot ball players, though. Six of the organizations Little Scholars attended the Meineke Car Care Bowl over the weekend after fin ishing the first quarter with A averages in school. All six stu dent-athletes had an average of over 97. "We stress academics as well as athletics with the Indians," said Indian representative and local attorney S. Wayne Patterson. "A lot of people think it's just about football. We stress academics big time. We thought it would be a great reward to send these deserving young student athletes to see Wake play in a bowl game." The six scholars that were on hand to see Wake's win were:(from left to right) S.Wayne Patterson, ,Jr., Shaheed Baker, William Pringle, Ivan Smith, Jamon Carlton and LaVaughnte Smith.

"They have some good coaching too. Jelran (Foster) is a helluva a player. And, number four (Tabbaris Hamilton) just killed us. He hit some big shots." West continued to apply pressure to Reagan to start the second quarter. The Titans almost seemed to be too much for Reagan for most of the first half. West took leads of 16-6, 20-6 and 32-7 before heading into the locker room *vith a 36-19 halftime lead.

The normally hot handed George AJdhizer was unchar acteristically cold during the title game. Aldhizer was noticeably frus trated with his lack of production too. "Those kind of nights happen," said Reagan assistant coach Mike Russell. "I was shocked because George rarely has days like this. He's always hot. He hits everything in practice and games. It was just one of those days for him, though." West only had a 45-39 lead to conclud the third quarter. But Hamilton, Foster and Rimmer made sure the Raiders didn't get any closer in the fourth. West went up by scores of 53-39. 57-44 and 63-48 - before taking the 66-52 victory. "I made it to the championship game," concluded Holcomb-Faye. "I'm disappointed we didn't win. But I'm still proud of my guys. This tour nament gave us some confidence. The guys saw that they could beat Glenn and Reynolds. We saw that we could play with a lot of guys in the city. We'll try to use that confidence throughout the rest of our season." Rickert added: "I'm definitely pleased with the way we played. We actually put together a series of good games. I'm starting to see a little bit of consistency. Before the tourna ment, we were up and down. We're starting to learn what works for us on offense. We're still working -on quite i few things, but I was pleased to see how much we progressed in this ournament. I'm very pleased."
