a*Hh Junes CatkbertSM I It is an injustice to "us" North Carolinians that USA To day can name the top 2S teams in the United States and not mention North Mecklenburg's Vikings. With Bobby Moore at the helm, the, Vikings are one of the best teams in the country. They won the prestigious Celriver ’ Tournament in Rock Hill, South Carolina, recently and are 1 on their way towards a state championship.~ Coach Robert Moore says that center Reggie Thompson is an expert on recognizing talent as evidenced by the con glomerate that he has put together that has produced the best regular season record at Johnson C. Smith University in 25 years. The Southern Division champions relied heavily on an other Charlotte product, Reggie Moses. The North girls are ranked highly, but the boys should be in the top 25 also. Other stahdouts on that team are Tim Little, Nelson Frazi er, Dedrick Robinson, and Kenneth Wylie. The Vikings recOntly completed a deuce triumph over arch nemesis and defending state champion West Char lotte. , • 5?*'*.* r V'jJ* • * ’ .** ’’ • '» • *4> ■ .• • *'4 V- 1 ' Olympic s Trojans looked like the Trojans of old when they took on West Mecklenburg recently at, the Indians’ home.

Smith Uni vani ty Golden Bulls. "He hs* the SAT and the grade point average to go to Division I despite Proposition 48 stan dards," hs said. Mr. Basketball is averaging 21 points ^er gams and is rated as one of ths top prospects in North Carolina bscauss of his athletic ability and because he will have no problems getting into a major college. The colleges that have come to the Huntersville address looking for Mr. Basketball include Ho ward and North Carolina AAT of the MEAC and Norfolk State of theCIAA. ' "I would like for Bobby to play with someone who would get con siderable television exposure," said coach Moore. "Thafs when an entire country gets to see you and you get more exposure." "I am not really that concerned about where I go," said Bobby Moore, "but I would like to play Division I or in a credible Divi sion II program. The main pur pose is to get a good education that would prepare me for the fiiture and I would like to study for a good livelihood after I graduate from college." There aro some who would like to soo Bobby play for his dad at Johnson C. Smith University. With Ricky McCormick grad uating, the Golden Bulls will be in need of a point guard. And Bobby Moore is tuned enough to play this poaitioo for the, Bulls, and Bulls' faithfuls are hoping that Bobby doss not go to a school where hs plays against his fathsr. Bobby said earlier in the sea son that playing for his father might be a good idea. "Of course, he is the one who has helped me the most with ray basketball ability," he said at the beginning of basketball season, and I would like to pay him back by helping him strengthen his program." Things are looking up for Bob by Moore, who has led North Mecklenburg to a banner season and has them in contention to be Pervis Thomas Ranks Six In Nation "Very good quickness," "excellent outside shooter," "plays hard" those are just a few of the things that are being said about Parvis Thomas, a fresh man guard at, Montreat Anderson Junior College. . .
