Freshman Coach Morris MacChonc, a native of Mar ion, N. C., says that Cole, who led Kings Mountain High to a 65-7 three-year record, will be one of FSU’s all-time greats before he’s through. “Otis is just fantastic,” says MacChono, a former Marion High and Wingate College cage standout. “Otis played his last two years of high .school ball at the high post, and we’ve moved him to the point and he’s really | been outstanding. , ^ . t “Being unaccustomed to the point, it took Otis a tew games to get adjusted,’’ added MacChone, “but now he’s fantastic. He does all our ballhandling, is a real good fast- break man and his outside shooting has improved a lot.

"Miles iBov'd and Bonds buy the things you other- The Srminolcs got a late recruiting start on Cole and they feel fortunate to have signed him. “I was home for vacation last year,” recalls Mac- | Chone, “and the coach at Marion High School, Ken Brack- j ett, told me that there was a guy from Kings Mountain that had been the most valuable player in the Marion AH-| Star Game, and that he wanted to go to Carolina but | didn’t make 800 on his college board. That’s when we i ^rst got on his trail.” A Cole is avorattSng 21.7 points per game and scored' points Wednesday night to lead the FSU Frosh to a 85-71 victory over Lake City Junior College. “Lake City had won 59 games in a row at homo and we went over there and beat them by 14,” said MacChone,: whose team sports a 5-3 I'ecord. i “We’ve definitely got a lot of improving to do, but we feel like we’re coming around. Wc re real big and most j teams have been spreading it out on us to take advantage of their speed.” # • • • Cole is one of four players averaging double figures, j Artie Fryer, a 6-5 forward from Tampa, is hitting 16 per game, 6-11 Morris McRae is averaging 14 points and 23 rebounds and 6-7 John Smick is hitting 13 points per con test. , . , MacChone's fifth starter is 5-7 guard Gary Corbin of Jasper. Ind. "The point man on the varsity team is a sophomore, i said MacChono, “but he’s only averaging 8.1 points pcr| game, so I definitely think Otis will have a good chance to break the starting lineup next year. And. even if he doesn’t, he’ll be playing quite a bit as a sophomore.” North Carolina boys have fared well in Florida Stale and MacChone is quick to tell you that the Seminolcs are after another prcp star from this area. “We think David Thomnson of Crest is one of the lop ■prospects anywhere,” said MacChone. “Wc haven’t seen him play, but we've seen him on film and several nc.oplc have told us that he’s as good or better than Cole. If that’s true, he’s got to be a great one. We wouldn’t bo too bad if we could start thrco North Carolina guvs,” added Mac Chone, referring to Cole, Thompson and Royals. liam Hager, Miles Donald Leach Duckpin bowling action at Mountain Lanes BoAling during the fir.st woclx of the sec ond half is a repeat pc^rformance )f the entire first half.. .clo-^e.
