'Doughnut' Cavs to take
By MIKE BERARDINO
Sports Editor
For the past five years or so, ever
since Ralph Sampson slinked out of
Charlottesville and moved on to the
NBA with nary a Final Four appear
ance, coach Terry Holland's Virginia
basketball team has been like a glazed
doughnut.
'. You know, shiny on the outside
with a big hole in the middle.
'- Oh, sure, the Cavaliers had Olden
Polynice for a few years, finally
making it to the big dance in Seattle
in 1984, but Polynice was always
more of a power forward, anyway.
Then there was Tom Sheehey, who
wasn't very handsome and played an
equally ugly game, but who was
effective. But he was more of a one
man goon squad than a pivot man.
: Now, Holland's starting "center" is
a: guy named Bill Batts, a 6-foot-8
sophomore from South Euclid, O.,
whose scoring average coming into
this year was a whopping 2.2 points.
It will be up to Batts to slow down
the likes of J.R. Reid and Scott
Williams when the Cavs meet second
ranked North Carolina Saturday
night.
Game time in the Smith Center is
9 p.m. Virginia will bring marks of
8-7 overall and 1-1 in the conference
into the contest. UNC is 12-1 overall,
1-0 in the ACQ
Wahoo watchers tout Batts for his
outstanding leaping ability, which
makes blocking his shot quite diffi-

cult. So far this season, the long
armed leaper has averaged 9.1 points
and 6.6 rebounds a game.
The Cavs' best player is senior
point guard John Johnson, who has
taken over as the conference's top
quarterback following the departures
of Muggsy Bogues and Tommy
Amaker. Last Sunday, the 5-foot-l 1
Brooklyn, N.Y., native drove the
length of the court to score the game
winning basket at the buzzer and beat
Clemson, 77-75.
Johnson is a brash, but heady
player, a prototypical ball distributor
who knows how to score, too. In fact,
he's leading the Cavaliers in scoring,
with an average of 16.3 points to go

with his 3.9 assists per game.
Disbelievers who shake their heads
at Virginia's sparklingly low turnover
totals (just five against Clemson and
eight the day before against Duke's
pressure defense) need only look at
the man running the Wahoos' offense
to comprehend their proficiency.
"Being able to get a shot is impor
tant," Holland said when asked about
his team's ball protection. "In order
to make a shot, of course, you've got
to get them."
Unfortunately for Holland, there
have been times this year when the
basket has shrunk to spool size on
the Cavaliers. For the season, Vir
ginia is shooting just 43 percent from
the field. The severity of that number
is tempered, however, by the fact
Virginia's opponents are shooting
even worse.
One thing's for sure, though. As
long as gunners like Mel Kennedy
and Richard Morgan wear the blue-and-orange,
Virginia's not going to
win any shooting percentage titles.
Kennedy, whom Holland sus
pended for academic reasons before
the season began, returned in late
December and immediately started
firing away. The fact he's misfiring
almost 60 percent of the time hasn't
discouraged the 6-foot-5 Long
Islander.
The same holds true for Morgan,
a 6-foot-3 guard, who apparently
doesn't care that he's shooting 28
percent (16-for-57) from three-point
range. A slump is one thing, but
Morgan's brickmanship is becoming
a megatrend.
But hold your chuckles, please, and
recall last year's Virginia-UNC game
in the Smith Center when the Cavs
took the Tar Heels into overtime
before falling 74-73. A month later
at the ACC Tournament in Lan
dover, Md., it took UNC two OTs
to subdue UVa 84-82.
"Doughnut" team or no, there's no
reason not to expect another tasty
matchup this time around as well.

Freshmen led the way Thursday in
Koury Natatorium as the UNC men's
and women's swimming teams
splashed their way to victory over
Division III power Kenyon College.
The 13th-ranked women's team
pushed their record to 6-0 with a 150
67 victory, capturing 11 of 13 events
in the process. The men moved to
5-0 by winning 10 events in their 129
80 triumph.
The Kenyon Lords are the eight
time defending NCAA Division III
champs, while the Ladies have cap
tured the last three Division III
swimming championships.
Marc Ferguson and Hannah Tur
lish, both freshmen, highlighted the
afternoon with convincing victories in
the 1000-yard freestyle events.
Ferguson, a Honolulu, Hawaii,
native, raced to a time of 9:21.17 in
the event, establishing the second-best
time in UNC swimming history. Only
Danny Flack's 1986 record remains
to be conquered.

Maine, made her mark in the UNC
record books with a time of 10:14.71

Sometimes a basketball game can
mean a whole lot more than just one
win or one loss.
Such will be the case when a
struggling UNC women's basketball
squad tries to halt a month-long, five
game losing streak Sunday. But
Georgia Tech will bring the ACC's
top two leading scorers into Chapel
Hill to try and spoil the Tar Heels'
hopes for a sixth consecutive time.
Game time in the Smith Center will
be 2 p.m., with WXYC-FM 89.3
broadcasting the game beginning at
1:50.
UNC last won on Dec. 18 with an
82-79 victory over Florida State
which upped their record to an
impressive 6-1. Since that . time,
however, UNC has dropped all of its
games, including the most recent 72
61 setback Tuesday at the hands of
N.C. State in Raleigh.
Ending the losing binge will not be
easy. Georgia Tech is bringing in what

for the eighth-best time in UNC
history.
Neither freshman seemed intimi
dated by collegiate competition.
"Collegiate swimming has much more
intense competition than what I have
faced in the past," Ferguson said.
"But we just try to maintain a strong
mental attitude and clear focus
toward what we are trying to
accomplish."
Turlish had similar impressions of
the college sports world. "I don't
really think about the other swimmers
that much," Turlish said. "I just try
to relax and concentrate on what I
am doing."
Both swimmers said that the young
Tar Heel teams have benefited from
experiencing solid competition early
in the year. "Practice time can only
help you to a certain degree," Fer
guson said. "A meet is when every
thing you have been working so hard
for comes together."
Turlish said that she saw this early
experience as preparation for future
meets. "Clemson (coming into town
for a Saturday afternoon meet) will
be a real test for us," she said. "But
we feel like we're ready for the
challenge."
Tar Heels
UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell called the
Jackets' best women's team ever.
Tech is led by seniors Dolores
Bootz and Marielle Walker. Bootz is
second on the team and the confer
ence in scoring, averaging 21.6 points
a game.
"Bootz is a big girl, 6-7," Hatchell
said of the Marlboro, N.Y., native.
"She's a senior and she's playing
really, really well for them. She was
All-ACC last year and has the height
to give her the chance to play
international ball."
Walker is no slouch, either. The
6-foot forward from Casanova, Va.,
leads the ACC in scoring at 22.4
points per game, is second on the
team in rebounding with 7.5 boards
per game, second only to Bootz's 1 1.5
per game average.
Tech coach Bernadette McGlade,
a former UNC star, said that Walker
has earned the respect and confidence
of her teammates.
"I think Marielle is without a doubt
our best shooter," McGlade said.
Wade said. "We didn't do a good job
getting the ball inside to the big kids.
But even on a night like this, we
stayed in the game. We played lousy,
but we were still in the basketball
game."

Other victorious freshmen for the
Tar Heels were Karen Andren, Klaus
Baer, John Davis, Naila Deeb,
Nunzio Esposto and Ralph Vick.
Head coach Frank Comfort said
he was pleased with the performance
against Kenyon and that the younger
swimmers can only benefit from this
kind of competition.
Senior Susan O'Brien, captain of
the women's team and a three-time
All-American, said it was a good
victory to take into this weekend's
home meet against the Tigers, whose
women are ranked fifth, while the
men's squad is 20th.
O'Brien, who won the 200-yard
freestyle Thursday, said the team
hoped that Tar Heel fans would pack
into Koury Natatorium for the ACC
dual meet. "It would be great to see
some home support for this one," she
said. "I think the biggest factor is the
pride involved. Whenever two ACC
teams compete in anything, pride is
on the line."
Sophomore Tod Schroeder added
a different flavor to the contest. "I
think there is a revenge factor
involved," he said. "They beat us last
year, and we want to return the
favor."

"The players call her Larry Bird."
In addition to ladies with a "Bird
like" touch, the Techsters also sport
former juco player of the year, point
guard Val Avant. Avant was sought
by many Division I schools, including
UNC.
The Tar Heels will try to counter
the 7-4 Yellow Jackets with a bal
anced attack led by 6-foot-2 senior
forward Kathy Wilson, who is aver
aging 19.3 points and has stepped into
the large shoes left by former UNC
great Dawn Royster.
But UNC has been hurt by the loss
of freshman point guard Tanya Lamb
(7.0 ppg, 11.5 assists), who has been
declared academically ineligible.
"Tanya's loss puts a real dent in
our team," Hatchell said, adding that
5-foot-l 1 junior Marsha Matthews
will be playing some point guard for
the Tar Heels.
This basketball game at the Smith
Center could mean much more to the
Tar Heels' confidence level than
simply a win or a loss.
