All-Conference Team
Finds Seadogs Homed
THE NEWS-TIMES sponsored an
All-Seashore Conference Basketball
Team selected by coache* in the
conference and TflE NEWS-TIMES
sports editor. Two members of the
undefeated lieaufort quintet were
unanimous choices of all the voters.
Gehrmann Holland, voted o?t
standing performer at the State
Tournament, and Monk Pittman,
who won a plaee with Holland on
the All-State Touramcnt first five,
were both voted places on the first
team in the conference.
Their teammates on the all-con
ference squad, all from Carteret
County, included Walker Gillikin
of Smyrna and Jerry Willis and
Wayne Cheek of Morehead City.
Tom McQuaid, coach of the Sea
dogs. was selected as coach of the
team.
One member of the Seadog squad
was also named to the second team.
He was Herb Mason, who teams
with Pittman regularly to bring the
ball up the court for the
Mason, who had some very hot
nights, including his 28 point*
against Smyrna in the County
Toornament, was elected to a posi
tion for Ms fine ballhandiing and
shooting ability.
Holland was described by
Greensboro writers as the 6-2
youngster built like a fullback,
weighing 195 pounds who has that
magic touch under the boards that
enables him to tap in rebounds with
amazing ability.
Unerrlag Eye
Holland is also credited with
having an unerring eye and a per
fect shooting touch, with real
spring in Ms l*gs that enables him
to outfumprfar uller opponent*.
Monk Pitt man. one of the tend.
ing lights (or Beaufort in the State
Tournament, was the playmaker of
the Seadog quintet all season. His
jump shots and sets from back of
the key enabled Beaufort to win
many a baUgame.
The others on the first team such
as Jorry Willis. Cheok and Oilli
kin wen ealra fine plajrerx. Cheek
is the only one who will be seen
in action again next season.
Willis had a scoring average well
up in dwiWe figures and bis height
at 6 foot 1 inches mi uaed to extra
good advantage from Ms forward
slot this year. Jerry was one at the
county's best big men with a fine
posh shot
Wayne Cheek, another elongated
eager at 64 was one of tbe most
improved players in tha conference
daring the past season. His special
ty, when he and Willis teamed up
as the Eagles' one-tiw scoring
punch, was on push shots from the
corners.
The apple of Coach Stew Daniels'
eye this year was Walker Gillikin,
and there weren't any coachea in
the conference who wouldn't have
liked to aee the 5-3 ',i youngster on
their squads.
Walker was equally adept at get*
ting the rebounds (or his team,
making tipins, or shooting from
oataide.
