- SDori ί ;DCôl BY BILL JOHNSON This is the time of the year when all should be merry and full of good cheers....and EGG NOG! Bob Moorman, the popular gentleman who ably runs the CIAA, informs us that the conference released two "All-CIAA Teams" this season. According to Bob, the one that was released to the dailies about three weeks ago was the selection of the CIAA Sportswriters Associat ion which is controlled by the white press. The CIAA Coaches came up with an "All-Con ference Team" of their own just before the Gold Bowl and these selectees were honored at a banquet during the Gold Bowl activities. Thanks for setting the records straight! This reporter is going out on the proverbial limb to pick the Dallas Cowboys to win the Super £owl next month and become the Kings of professional football. The way I figure it, the Cowboys have had their low moments. Tom Landry's fine crew is healthy for the first time Jhis season, and they're playing super. Also, the forgotten man of the squad, fullback Robert Newhouse is playing at his very best. Honors keep coming in Bill Hayes' direction. The popular Winston-Salem State head football coach, who was presented a trophy by the Delaware Alumni Chapter of the Winston-Salem State University two weeks ago, will shortly be driving a brand new 1979 Buick as the reward for being named "Coach of the Year" by the Mutual Black Network and the Buick Motor Division. Hayes will officially receive the latter honor at the Staffers Hotel in Houston, Texas, January Chase Vance of our staff apparently likes what he's seen of the Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith. Κ one is to believe Vance, Robert Moore's young charges will be "tough to beat by mid-season." Neither Florida A&M nor Jackson State played well on the tube last Saturday afternoon. However, the Rattlers' band rendition of "Ain't We Funky Now!" was something else! Incidentally, coach Rudy Hubbard, a 1968 graduate of Ohio State who's finishing his seventh season at Florida A&M, is going to get lbs wish. Hubbard has insisted that the predomi nantly white school schedule football games with his Rattlers, who are 25-2 in the past two seasons. On Saturday, he gets his opportunity when he sends his team against the University of Massachusetts for the NCAA Division 1 champ ionship. Local Civil Rights groups will be happy to learn that the New Orleans Jazz have extended Elgin Baylor's contract for another two years. List this reporter among those who eagerly awaits the second clash of the football season between Oklahoma and Nebraska. Here we go again, etc...Quiet mannered Chris Chambliss says Reggie Jackson puts himself above the club to the detriment of the world champions. The Yankee first baseman also insists that the flamboyant Jackson is not the key to the team's success. now tua ι ΑΛΤ has proven that Winston-Salem State's great basketball team can be beaten, Norfolk State, Virginia Union and Hampton loom as the powerhouse· in the CIAA. First-year coach Lucias Mitchell, who built Kentucky State into a top basketball power, has already set a record at Norfolk State. He is the first Spartan mentor to win three straight games in his first year. He also has a personal string of 14 straight regular victories. Norfolk State has put together seven straight victories dating back to last season "There's no q-estion about it, defense is Î'hat's winning for us," Mitchell says of his partans. Norfolk State has received impressive early performances from junior Kenny Evans, senior Greg Williams and freshman Frank S tall worth. Adolphus Jaynes, 6'5" transfer from £>t. Phillips Junior College in San Antonio, Texas, was ticketed for the starting five before be sustained an injury just before the season opened. He'll be ready for the first annual Tidewater Area Builders' and Contractors Association Holiday Tournament at the Scope, December 29-30 when Norfolk State, St. Paul's, Elizabeth City and Johnson C. Smith battle for the coveted title SUDDEN THOUGHT The end of the world will probably catch most of us promising to do better. Did you know that Zoel Hargraves la selling season tickets to the annual CIAA Basketball Tournament? You'd be wise to get your ducats early If you plan to attend the greatest basketball attraction ever. Kenny Snelling, JoAnne Snelling and Cal Jacox of Norfolk State deeerve high praise for the good-looking 1971-79 basketball facts book that's packed with valuable information. WBTV has scheduled a cliff hanger for Wednesday night. It's the first head-and-head clash between North Caroline State and Mary land, starting at 9 o'clock. RICKY STEVENSON ...Olympic big gun Ricky Stevenson Is Player Of Week by Chase Vance Post Sports Writer Ricky Stevenson of Olympic High School was one of the big guns on his 1977-78 ninth place team. He led the county in scoring with 21 points per game average, but all that is to no avail when your team finishes at the bottom of the conference. This year, he re solved to d etter. One of Jie reasons the Trojans lost the playoff with Harding that kept them out was due to the fact that Stevenson was locked into his bedroom with a bad case of influenza. With the scoring threat from outside under weather, they played a heady game but could not pull it out. This year it looks like things are going to be different. Stevenson hit the nets for 32 points recently in the Trojans conference opener. On the road at South Mecklenburg, it was his key steals and heady defensive play that resulted in the mild upset. For this, he is the Poet's Plaver of the Week. , Nobody beats South Meck lenburg at South. But the Trojans led by Stevenson accomplished the impossible. The 6Ό", 170 pound guard is a cinch to make the all country team. The 17-year-old served notice when he hit 30 points in his first varsity game ever. That was last year. "I want people to look at me ?nd be able to say by the way I play, that I am a great play er," be said recently, "I want I ■ ■ I this team to have a good year." Jeff Nance, a friend and former Olympic hotshot is the player who got him started. "Me and Jeff played togeth er since we were kids," said Stevenson. Nance and Ondra Richardson teamed to lead the Olympic team of 1975 to a second place finish in the conference. Stevenson feels no pressure as the top returning player in the city last year. Before a game, I just come home, go to sleep and rub my legs with v liniment and hope that I will have a good eamp " he said. Shriners To Benefit From Kemper Open TournamentOfficials announced Monday, the prin cipal beneficiary of the 1979 Kemper Open will be the Shriners' Hospital for Crip pled Children in Greenville, South Carolina. The 1979 Kemper Open Golf Tournament will be held at Quail Hollow Country Club, May 30 through June 3. In recent years, the Kemper Open Golf has given part of its proceeds to charity. Past reci pients of the gifts have been the Heineman Foundation, Diabetes Association, Police Benevolent Fund, Duke Child ren's Hospital and Boys' Clubs of America. Bulls" Only Problem Is Their Youth by Chase Vance Poet Sports Writer In the four games that John son C. Smith University rookie head coach Robert Moore has had to display his .1978-79 edition of the Golden Bulls, the verdict is in from the jury_of criticizers of the old programs of Jerry Fitch. No 'onger will you see the run-and-gun, no-defense style play of the Beatties Ford Road Netters. In its place, you will ' see patterned offenses with fast breaks and new defensive alignments The only problem the Bulls had in the WBTV Classic was their youth. Blessed with sev eral exceptionally talented athletes, the team will improve with experience and rule supreme in the CIAA again. On the bench, Moore is very patient with his athletes. He knows that his problems will not disappear over night. But the former Virginia Union head coach has been to the mountain. At Union, he posted at 93-41 record. In the 1976-77 season, his team finished third in the NCAA Southern Small College regional. At old Winston-Salem Atkins High School, Moore wrestled some of the basketball spot light that belongs to Clarence "Big House" Gaines when he won the state 4A title in 1969 with a 71-70 win over Asheville High. ι Timmy Logan is a 5Ί0" point guard from Danville. Virginia. He is a sophomore who is very quick and plays with a great deal of poise and pzazz. His forte is defense Freshman forward Will iams Tibbs is a 6'6 Iresnman from New York City, who led his high school to the state 3A finals where they met defeat. Tibbs is a good rebounder and shooter. Presently, he is carrying the heaviest load on the team. Phillip Flores is a 6'3" wing man from Houston. Texas. Although erratic at times. Flores is quick, has a nice shot and passes the ball well. He was a two-time selection on the All-City team for Worth ington High School Lowell Oliver is another freshman who is playing well. A good rebounder, he is a 6'7" player who was heavily rec niiteri hy Virginia Tech. Five eight point guard^ Louis Lowery led East For syth to a 24-2 record last year He is a playmaker with a nice jumper Not as quick as you would expect for a man of his size to be, he is nevertheless a leader for the team. They look so different from the Bulls of the last few dismal years Team ball seems to be back at the Westside camp us. Give Coach Robert Moore a year or so and he will be back in the thick of the CLAA championship picture. McCrorey's Swimmers Win McCrorey's swimming pool is in the process of being remodeled, but that didn't hamper seven of McCrorey's swimmers who use JCSU's pool for practice.
