Wreck rides 8-game win streak into Smith Center J Wednesday, 8 p.m., WRAL TV 5 Smith Center, Chapel Hill ■The Yellow Jackets were hoping point guard Travis Best would step up and take a leadership roll this year —and he O has. Freshmen Martice Moore and Drew Barry took over down the stretch in Tech’s upset Sunday against now No. g RRRRA 3 Duke.

Malcolm Mackey is second in the ACC in O JHL rebounding with 10.6 a game. But UNC’s Eric Montross, coming off a 13 rebound effort against Maryland, will X match up at center against junior Ivano Newbill, who is averaging just 3.9 ppg and 5-5 rpg. .fßTech head coach Bobby Cremins won’t look too far down Iq ls bench only seven players see decent playing time for O the Yellow jackets.

State the state’s public schools were average in statewide achieve ment and had a par rating in opportunity standards. Carol Deal, assistant superintendent for curriculum in struction in Watauga County, was pleased with her county’s above-average/above-par rating. “We have a lot of dedicated teachers in this county, students who are willing to work hard, parents who work closely with the school system,” she said. Despite Watauga County’s high ratings, Deal said there were several factors that should not be a part of the Report Card’s evaluation, including the percentages of students who qualify for the N.C. Scholars Program and those who attend UNC institutions. “You have to look at the total child, andif you look at North Carolina Scholars, it doesn’t do that. There are also other universities besides UNC institutions that we prepare stu dents for,” Deal said. Fred Davenport, assistant superintendent for Washington County schools, did not share Deal’s complaints about the report’s format. “We’re satisfied with the items touched on in the (1992) Report Card,” he said. Although Washington County schools have finished be low average since the first report in 1990, Davenport said he did not attribute the low ratings “to any particular factor.” Both Deal and Davenport said their school systems used their performance on the “1992 Report Card” as guidelines for improvements in the school programs during past years and planned to do so this year. ©1993 Tribune Media Services.

But when you beat No. 1, what comes next? A trophy? A trip to Disney World? A fancy new yellow and black team bus? For Georgia Tech, it’s a pat on the back and a trip to Chapel Hill. Just three days after ending Duke’s 23-game winning streak in Atlanta, Tech (9-1,2-0 in the ACC) must travel to the Smith Center tonight at 8 p.m. to face No. 5 North Carolina. It’s another key game for the Yellow Jackets against an ACC team ranked above them in the polls, and they’ll be looking for another upset. Tech takes an eight-game winning streak into its meet ing with the Tar Heels (12-1, 2-0). The Yellow Jackets’ only loss this season was a 96-87 defeat on the road to top ranked Kentucky. This time Tech won’t have a loud home crowd cheering in support. The Yellow Jackets, however, have played UNC tough in Chapel Hill. In the last five seasons, the Tar Heels have won four home games against Tech by an average of only four points a game. On Jan. 27, 1991, an unranked Tech team overcame a 16-point deficit to hand UNC its first home loss of the season, 88-86. Nobody’s better than head coach Bobby Cremins at reacting to a big shot. from page 3 B L 0 A TWA C l tlBfC PDA l i nIcIoTl n mlelmTo rial r f sUalc E SMgla n g Is I IU R OjißiiiliE ! ItTh 0 M A slJlelf f UrTs oTnI ME R TMsTX[b|T ebbelTrTel SPORTS When Rick Fox missed a layup that could have put that game into overtime, the snowy-haired Cremins went bonkers congratulating his out-manned team. He did the same dance when his out manned team knocked off Southern Cal to advance in to the Sweet 16 last season as a seventh seed. And he was a cheerleader when Malcolm Mackey scored three clutch free throws in the final 12 seconds to knock off Duke, wildly waving his arms to encourage a loud home crowd to get louder. Cremins and Tech are no strangers to upsets. But for a while in the second half against Duke, it looked as though his underdogs would choke. Tech blew a 15-point first half lead when Grant Hill gave Duke its first and only lead of the game, 60-59, with 9:20 to go. But the Jackets didn’t fold. They didn’t let Duke’s momentum and pres sure defense take the win away. Two freshmen and a sophomore stepped up No. 6 Indiana tops No. 2 Michigan The Associated Press ANN ARBOR, Mich. lt was ex actly the kind of game you’d expect from two Final Four teams. Indiana’s Alan Henderson made what proved to be the winning basket and then blocked Michigan’s final shot as the sixth-ranked Hoosiers snapped the second-ranked Wolverines 11-game winning streak with a 76-75 victory Tuesday night. Henderson, who made the game’s final basket on a jumper from the right side with 1:36 left, had 22 points for Indiana (14-2, 3-0 Big Ten). Calbert Cheaney added 20 for the Hoosiers. Jalen Rose, who had 19 points for Michigan (12-2, 2-1), put the Wolver ines ahead 75-74 with 2:30 to play. But Wake Forest even though they led by only four points after hitting seven 3-peinters. “We felt good because we were play ing hard,” the Georgia native said. Both Lawrence and junior forward Tonya Sampson recognized the team’s increased intensity. “I just think we talked more and gave a whole team effort instead of indi vidual efforts,” Sampson said. “The bench was into it and the coach was into it” Tuesday night’s victory followed two straight conference losses against Geor gia Tech and Florida State. An 0-3 start in the ACC would have put UNC in a hole to start conference play. The Tar Heels recognized the importance of the game against Wake. “We had to win,” said Sampson, who contributed 15 points to the winning effort. “We got tired of losing, I got tired of losing everybody did. We felt like if we gave it our all, we were going to win.” North Carolina knew it could not ignore Wake’s perimeter shooting, pos sibly the best in the conference, going into the game. Junior guard Nicole Levesque and senior forward Sabrina Slone countered UNC’s 3-point deluge with five bonus balls of their own in the first half.

Sophomore guard Travis Best, who picked up his fourth foul with 9:43 left, provided steady ball-handling under constant Duke pressure. Tech had fallen apart without Best taking the ball up the court at the end of the first half after he drew his second foul. Freshman guards Drew Barry and Martice Moore provided some clutch shots down the stretch, combining for 15 of Tech’s final 22 points. Best will get another test against UNC’s Derrick Phelps. Coaches and players have credited Phelps’ defense with UNC’s success in the Tar Heels two convincing wins to start ACC play. Moore will have to cover the Tar Heels’ leading scorer, Donald Williams. Williams is averaging 16.8 points per game. Outside shooting, which was a question mark for the Tar Heels before the season began, has been an exclama tion point thus far. Tech’s top scorer is sophomore for the Wolverines never scored again, al though they had plenty of chances. ■ James Voskuil, who had eight points for Michigan, drove across the lane for a layup that was blocked by Henderson with 1:13 left. ■ Rose had a steal and raced the length of the court for another layup, but missed it with 43 seconds left. ■ Michigan was forced to foul Todd Leary with 14 seconds left. But before Leary, a 90 percent free throw shooter, could take the foul shot, Cheaney left his spot in the lane and the Wolverines were given the ball out of bounds. Rose brought the ball upcourt and flipped it to Voskuil who missed a 3- point try from the left comer. The re bound was tipped by Rose to Chris sure in the second half and the Wake Forest tandem finished the game with only seven treys. Sampson’s defensive assignment was Slone. “I was in her face and she was still nailing baskets,” Sampson said about Slone, who scored 20 for Wake. “The key was to shut her down.” UNC outscored Wake Forest 49-29 PLANAHEAD!"^^^ The World Traveller Books & Maps ‘]_ [ Open7Days!

Mackey has been lethal on the offensive boards this season 46 of his 106 rebounds gave Tech another shot at scoring. The Yellow Jackets lack a scoring threat at center — starter Ivano Newbill averages only 3.9 ppg. In addition, foul trouble could spell disaster for Georgia Tech. Only seven of Tech’s 13 players average more than five minutes a game. Expect Forrest and Mackey to rest only occasionally against UNC.
