end to the 13-0 run with a key layup, and
the Panthers would lead by double dig
its the rest of the way
„ Cougar guard Alex Hughes played an
important role in getting Southwestern
Randolph back into contention, hitting
some tough outside shots that drew
the attention of the defense. The game
changed when he picked up his fourth
and fifth fouls within a minutes time.
- The Cougars could only score one more
basket in his absence.
Steven Fuquay paced Ledford with 15
points while Smith had 12 and Daniel
Lawson 11.

DCCC
From page 7
Glover converted two free throws to
put DCCC up by two with 37.2 seconds
left. Tidewater had a prime chance to
draw even, but the baU would just not
fall. Whittington hoisted up a 3 that was
short, but Carpenter got the offensive
board. His putback attempt under the
basket sat on the rim for a second, but
came off the side.
Derrick Mayo soon after raced down
the floor for a layup with 11.3 left, pro
viding enough separation for the Storm
to pull it out.
“I have got to somehow get these guys
on the same page for 40 minutes for us
to do what we want to do,” Ridge said.
“Offensively, if we take care of the baU
and get shots, this would have not been
close. I think some of our guys think
subconsciously they have to make the
play instead of making the easy play
and letting the team make the play. I
am proud we did win the game, even
though we have a long way to go.”
Potts was the only other DCCC player
in double figures with 11 points. Car
penter carried Tidewater with 27 points
and 19 rebotmds with Whittington drop
ping in 13 points.
FREEMAN
From page 7
lachian will become. ”
Freeman’s freshman
campaign started slowly
as she adapted to the col
lege game. In her first four
games. Freeman failed
to crack double-digits in
scoring as ASU dropped
to 1-3. On Nov. 28, 2009,
the game started slowing
down. Freeman posted
a career-high 18 points
and 19 rebounds in a 79-
76 Mountaineers victory
over Miami (Ohio). Free
man has failed to reach
double-figures in points
just four times since and
is currently third in Di
vision-1 in rebounding,
pulling down 8.1 boards
a game. She also is lead
ing the country in blocks
shot, averaging 3.3 per
contest.
“I think, being a fresh
man, in your first couple
of games, you’re ner
vous,” said Freeman.
“You do the stupid fresh
man mistakes and you
feel like you don’t fit in.
Things started clicking.
As a team we started
meshing and learning
each other and what each
others strengths and
weaknesses are.”
ASU coach Darcie Vin
cent is seeing the player
she rated so highly last
year. Other than some
foul issues, Vincent is
pleased with Freeman’s
progression and how the
group of young players
are gelling.
“The first time I saw
her play I just fell in love
with her,” Vincent said.
“I walked away saying
this has to be our kid.
With this freshman class,
they are really the start
of our program. Those
freshman are starting
where we’re wanting to
go in the future. There
was no doubt that I want
ed to make sure Anna
was wearing that App.
State jersey and starting
a program that I think
will be very successful as
we continue forward.”
Freeman’s leadership
skiUs are already show
ing through as she was
elected a team captain.
Juggling time between
classes and practice has
been a challenge. Free
man said, but the experi
ence is a fun as she hoped
it would be.
“It’s real nice,” said
Freeman of her captain
status. “I love my team
mates. It’s a title but ev
eryone has a leadership
role on the team. College
is what college is. You
have time where you’re
in the books and time
with your friends. It’s
fun. It’s hard some days
and I miss Thomasville.”
When Freeman started
her career at EDHS, little
was expected out of the
Golden Eagles. By the
time she left. Freeman
was part of a dynasty.
There’s a good chance
history could repeat it
self in Boone. Freeman
expects nothing less.
“On a good day we’re
ahead of where I thought
we would be,” Freeman
said. “We have our fresh
man moments but I think
we’ll be all right,”
That’s bad news for the
rest of the Southern Con
ference.
