The 6-foot-4 junior from Shelby, N.C. has been a proven powerhouse for the no. 1 ranked Wolfpack, which in two years has run up a string of 51 wins against a single loss. Thompson was named on all but three of the 142 ballots cast by members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association , for the honor and was also a unanimous choice on the All-ACC team announced Sunday. North Carolina's Bobby Jones had two votes for Player of the Year. Regarded by some as the greatest player in the history of the ACC, Thompson this year led the ACC individual scoring list, averaging some 26 points per game. On the All-ACC team named by the Sports Writers Association, Thompson was joined by teammate Monte Towe at 5-foot-6 the smallest man ever named to the conference team and by Bobby Jones of North Carolina, John Lucas and Len Elmore of Maryland. On the second team were Tommy Burleson of State, Tom McMillen of Maryland, Gus Gerard of Virginia, Darrell Elston of North Carolina and Tony Byers of Wake Forest. Jones is an outstanding rebounder and has one of the nation's best shooting percentages. Elmore, finishing his career at Maryland, is the leading conference rebounder and Lucas spent his sophomore year polishing the talent he exhibited as a freshman. First tesm: David Thompson, N.C.

Kramer missed the first shot of the one-and-one opportunity and Carolina's Ed Stahl grabbed the rebound and immediately called timeout. Dean Smith decided in the huddle to hit Walter Davis, who was protected by a double-screen past midcourt, with a long inbounds pass a play which Smith and his team have reviewed in practice sessions throughout the season. Walts r created ... When Duke coach Neil McGeachy placed lofty Chris Redding on the endline to hinder the inbounds attempt, Coach Smith quickly reciprocated the move by sending in 6-9 Mitch Kupchak to inbound for the 6-0 guard Ray Hite. Kupchak had difficulty at first finding Davis. "I saw him standing still and I didn't know what to do," he said. "Then he made a move and I just threw the ball to him." Mitch was already racing downcourt for the rebound attempt before Davis had even hauled in the halfcourt pass. The play Smith opted for in the huddle called for Davis to get the ball and maneuver to the top of the key for the final field goal attempt. Walter dribbled in as close as he could (which was about even with the 28 'foot hash mark) and let one fly over the outstretched hands of Duke's Chris Redding. The 8,000-plus onlookers went bananas as the high-arching shot kissed high off the glass and dove through the hole. In the ensuing overtime period, the Tar Heels had trouble containing Duke's strong freshman Willie Hodge who helped to build a three point lead with 3:20 remaining in the extra session. But with the aid of three money players named Davis, Hoffman and Kuester, the Heels forged ahead of the Blue Devils and their slow-down offense to win by four points 96-92. The stunning Tar Heel victory marked the second time this season that the Carolina Green Team cashed in on the hapless Blue Devils. ' ':x-x":":::i.-? ,i Jones and Towe were first ...

State came in fifth with 6 1 . Clemson' and Wake Forest do not field wrestling teams. Earlier in the year Maryland had defeated Virginia 21-16 in a dual match.

"I'm really pleased with the way we wrestled, especially for being as young a team as we are," said UNC coach Bill Lam. . "We had a lot of close matches, and we got four third places, two seconds, and a first, so I'm real proud of the whole team. "1 predicted Virginia would probably be the one to knock off Maryland, and they had an awful lot of help," said Lam. "State knocked off some of Maryland's men, we beat some and Duke took a couple out. "This was the first year all the competing teams had an individual champion since 1964. The league was just very balanced." Virginia and Duke claimed three individual titles apiece, Maryland had two, while Carolina and State had one each. "The tournament was kind of goofed up," said Lam. "Duke got some automatic points that gave them third place over us. In a regular tournament we would have come in third. "I'm especially proud of Carl Hoffman, because he had to practice football this week even though the tourney was coming up," said Lam. "It takes some outstanding individuals to win the tournament. Some of our best men weren't available this year, but I'm awfully proud of the guys. Next year will be even more rewrding I'm sure." Carolina's only first came in the freestyle.
