Like her sister, Yolunda has hound a thrill from the 1 lit muSic of Michael Jackson. “He has achieved so much and he started out so young. Now, nothing can stop his acclaim.” Yolunda also enjoys the television program “Dy . nasty ".because she states the characters are so un predictable.

WENDELL WHITE CITY MANAGER conv i Eric Rudolph Abrams .North’s power player Eric Rudolph Abrams fe “Athlete Of IIk Week" By James Cuthbertson Post Sports Writer ..When Eric Rudolph Abrams advanced to the regional competition on the march to the North Caro lina Athletic Association’s high school tennis cham pionship, he made history. He was the first black tennis player in recent times to advance that far and one of the first so phomores. “I felt real good about advancing to the region al,” he said. “It was a great experience to play against these outstanding tennis players. I learned a lot and do plan to return next year.” Only a sophomore, this week’s Charlotte Post “Spring Sports Star of the Week” made the All-Tour nament team for the South western 4A-Conference. “We are especially proud of this accomplishment,” said father Rudy Abrams, the football coach at East Mecklenburg. “He was one of two players elected unanimously.” Abrams, who has been playing tennis since he was nine years old, has been improving his finesse game. Not a power player, he kills his opponents with finesse. This ' summer, he will play several tournaments in order to better his top ten ranking in the 16-and-under division. “Tennis is fun," he said, “but at times it is hard work.” If I had any advice to offer a youngster entering the game, I would say be prepared to work hard and don’t think that the vic tories are going to come easily or quickly. Abrams has a nine year old sister, Ericka who is beginning to take his ad vice. She is an up and coming young player in the Charlotte area. y There's work time. Dues- m paying time.
