Pondering the Poignant Points:
Highs, Lows & Summer Leftovers
Well, this is it.
The final summer issue. My fi
nal sports column until I return in
August as an assistant sports editor. Adios.
Chao. Write ya in a month.
It’s been fun, folks—and an interesting
11 weeks in the world of sports. When the
campus regulars return soon, they’ll find
things slightly changed: Jerry Stackhouse
and Rasheed Wallace are gone, Kenan
Stadium will have (hopefully) beautiful
new sod, and Serge Zwikker has opted for
the Sinead O’Connor cut.
But before I begin my one-month hiatus
(and my plans for a Thelma-and-Louise
plus-four trip to Atlanta), it’s important to
ponder the poignant points of the last three
months. UNC has had its ups and downs
this summer, and like the stepper on a
stairmaster, it will continue to grunt pa
tiently as it awaits the answers to the ques
tions that remain:
Highs:
1. Ken Hamden wins national cham
pionship. This was a biggie for the Zimba
bwe native, who was told that he would
never run again after an ACL tear in high
school. Hamden won the4oo-meterhurdles
by edging Georgia Tech’s Octavius Terry
at the tape in 48.72. It was UNC’s fourth
national championship of the year (senior
T.J. Jaworsky wonhisthird-straightNCAA
championship on the wrestling mat, the
men’s 4x400 relay team won in indoor
track, and women’s soccer captured their
ninth straight national title) and Hamden’s
second (he was a member of the relay
team).
2. Antawn Jamison meets NCAA eli
gibility requirements. Would the 6-foot-8
big man out of Charlotte Providence qualify
on his college entrance exams? That was
the question of the late spring. Jamison
struggled with his scores, but met eligibil
ity requirements on his final try in June,
giving UNC a more than adequate pros
pect for the future and a solid young big
man.
3.1993 National Championship team
reunites. When Eric Montross, George
Lynch, Derrick Phelps, Brian Reese, Pat
Sullivan and Scott Cherry returned to the
Dean Dome for Montross’ Father’s Day
Basketball Camp, it brought delighted
smiles to 84 dads and kids. But it wasn’t

Lows:
1. Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed
Wallace opt for the NBA. It was pon
dered, it was debated would the super
sophs leave? In the end, the lust for the next
level of competition won over the UNC
duo. Stackhouse was drafted third by the
Philadelphia 76ers; Wallace went to the
Washington Bullets at No. 4.
Goodbye, Final Four.
2. ACC votes to admit partial qualifi
ers. After holding out as one of the last
leagues not to admit high school graduates
who had not met all of the NCAA’s mini
mum requirements, the ACC voted in early
July to allow its nine schools to give four
scholarships each to partial qualifiers.
Way to set standards for scholasticism.
3. UNC loses Sears Cup. Perhaps it
was bound to happen. After winning the
title with the best intercollegiate record in
Div. I in 1994, UNC played bridesmaid to
Stanford this year in the balloting. What
gave the Cardinal the edge? Water polo
it was one of the five Stanford teams to win
a national championship. The Tar Heels
had one.
4. Mike Tyson returns. Sure, the con
victed rapist was let out of prison in April,
but the fanfare surrounding him was never

as hot as this summer. He’s been glorified.
He’s been hated. He’s been debated. The
former heavyweight champion ofthe world
will fight again that’s been decided
even though he’s never publicly owned up
to his crime.
So much for role models.
5. Lax loses in first round. UNC's loss
to Loyola marked the first time that the Tar
Heel lacrosse team had fallen in the first
round of the NCAA tournament and the
first time since 1967 that the laxers finished
the season with seven losses.
That says it all.
Questions:
1. Will Marion Jones redshirt? As of
Tuesday, the two-sport athlete had not
publicly announced whether she would
give up basketball during her junior cam
paign to train on the track for the 1996
Olympics. Jones was an alternate for the
4xloo relay team in 1992, but said after the
NCAA championships in June that she
would probably need a full year to get into
peak shape for Atlanta.
She said she would announce her deci
sion in late summer.
2. Can the youngsters fill the void left
by the Super Sophs? Jamisonand 6-6 shoot
ing guard Vince Carter, out of Mainland
(Fla.) High School, are the new additions
to the Tar Heel hoopsters. They aren’t
Wallace and Stackhouse, but experts say
they’ll make their own names in the next
few years—Carter was a top-five prospect
coming out of high school.
How fast the youngsters come along
should determine how far the Tar Heels
will advance in March.
3. Will Donald Williams find an NBA
team? The 1993 Final Four MVP is keep
ing in shape by playing Raleigh’s Chavis
League. And like many free agents, he
must wait for the end of the NBA lockout
to find his future.

“I don’t think anybody can ignore it

“When you get into the $3 million plus

“It’s another step towards taking our
place among the big four. I would hope
that we wouldn’t be kept out of the game
just becauseastickoraball’snot involved.”
Triplett recalled that there was opposi
tion to NASCAR’s decision to go to India
napolis.
But since last year, he said, the Brick
yard has gained attention because of the
purse size, the location and the popularity
of the sport.
“All that feeds off each other,” he said.
“It’s extremely prestigious.”
