With Jimn Cnthbertson I ~ . ■ • 'TS. ’ ■= James Congratulations to Jim Davis who is the new head boys’ basketball coach at West Mecklenburg High Schoof. Jim won 69 games in six seasons as a college coach at Allen University in Columbia, S.C. He was 69-37. * ~ , He has been a girls’ softball and basketball coach at South Mecklenburg for the past two years. He is an Allen graduate and will teach weight train ing and physical education at West. This is a great move for the Indians who have not had a winning program in quite a while. Just when they were on the verge with Milton Moore a couple of years ago, he broke his finger and ruined the team's chances. In the iame month, point guard Derrick McGowan who was a sophomore, broke his arm and the Indians’ chances dimmed. *Best of luck to good friend John Day who leaves the West Mecklenburg program in good shape. I have not seen many coaches who care about their players as much as John did. v ~ Down at Olympic, the rumors have it that coach Dave Johnson has stepped down or moved up as the athletic director. Confirmation is that he did and the new coach at Olympic is Chanslar Chavis a Johnson C. Smith standout who was coaching the boys’ junior varsity at the school. Cornered at his alma mater recently, Chavis con firmed that he will be the new head boys’ basket ball coach at my alma mater, Olympic High School. Best of luck to Chavis and the Trojans who will feature a strong talent in Patrick Floyd next year. He is the brother of Derrick ’’Decky” Floyd and is a big reason things will be looking up for the Trojans. Pre-season All CIAA football picks include two from the Charlotte area.
