Debra Reeves *55^* Prep Chatter - 'W Debra "Coaches” Independence, Olympic, West Charlotte If you ask Joe Coulter, head coach tor Independence, about his team he’d tell you this much, “We are an aspiring young team. There probably won’t be any judgements made as to what we’ve got because we are always striving to improve our goals.” The PatriotS~have three returnees this year. Eric Boyd and Jeff Means as guards, and forward Barry Odom. ««««« ___r__ *»»V4 v ^VUIV 5WU VUIlipVkl UVU IVI lilv starting forward position between senior Walter McNorton and 6-3 junior, Tony Hilton. Both should see a lot of playing time. The rest of the Patriot bunch are seniors Andre Rucker 6-5 Center, Mark Williams, Guard, and 6-3 Robert Hastaste .... ...Vernon Hedrick feels that his young Trojan team will really have to play a lot of ball to pass judgement. He has good reasons to feel that way too. His ball team is a very inexperienced group. Olympic lost 5 starters from last year and only 5 returnees out of last year’s 14 which consists of only 2 lettermen and 3 newcomers. Still you can tell from his conversation he has high hopes...“The Trojans will improve no doubt as the year progresses, we have good height, speed and all around versatility to bridge the gap.” And if you’ve seen starter and sophomore Chris Brown in action, you know what he means. Chris thus far has a career high of 27 points against their defeated opponent, Charlotte Catholic. . . . nuu u uu uate of West Charlotte High and North Carolina College (now North Carolina Cen tral). He played basketball with a West Charlotte team that finished second in the state to Laurinburg Institute led by Sam Jones. McCullough played with former Boston Celtic star Sam Jones and former Harlem Globetrotter captain, Charles “Tev” Hair ston, to win a CIAA championship in 1958. He has compiled a career record of 281 wins and 140 losses while coaching 1959-60 at Booker T. Washington High in Columbia, S.C. and the remaining years at West Charlotte. Included among these wins are state championship in 1963 and 1966 in the North Carolina State Athletic League and runner up in 1965 and 1968 in the NCHSAA to Wilmington, New Hanover. /Most recent he has a well remembered record for the Lions in 1978-79, 22-5. Watching McCullough you feel that his teams are basically disciplined and fast breaking unit. UNCC Closes For Extended Perkx - Employees of the Uni versity of North Carolina at Charlotte are going to cele brate Veterans Day and Memorial Day during the Christmas holidays, thus saving the state both ener , gy and money, according to Leo Ells, vice chancellor for business affairs.
