Two Johnny Macs
A major recruiting magazine rated the top 100 high school basketball
seniors—not one from the old north state. But plenty from South Carolina.
6°11” Stanley Roberts from Lower Richland High may be the plum of
the bunch, he’s considered one of the three best centers around.
Everick Sullivan from Simpsonville and David Young from Greenville are
a pair of guards that any college would want.
Interestingly enough, the bulk of this blue chip list comes from New York,
Maryland, Virginia, Georgia and Florida.
So which John McEnroe was that playing at the U.S. Open? I'm convinced
there are two Johnny Macs—one that down deep is a great guy and the other
that swallows gasoline and matches each morning. McEnroe has a burn from
within that will not allow failure. Especially not from the authoritarian figure
of a head linesman. And when McEnroe figures he’s been cheated, that’s
when the fire goes nuclear. Mac-the-brat takes over and cuts the umpire a
new seat.
Later, in the relaxed pressroom afterwards, John-O-Pro calmly issues an
apology and insists he doesn’t remember his verbage. I'm sure he doesn’t.
You see, when McEnroe plays his brilliant game of tennis, he is a mixture
of both emotions—the great guy who's patient and consistent, but also the
dragon who kills for pleasure. A dichotomy of a champion. I'm sorry to
say, tennis would be a bore without him.
When former Atlanta skipper Joe Torre played catcher for the Milwaukee
Braves, his manager Bobby Bragan once said, “‘I can’t understand why he
hasn’t been nicknamed chicken. Get it? Chicken Catcher Torre.”

Fearless Picks Mounties,
By FEARLESS
I'm Big Man On Campus
(BMOC) this week. I don’t
know why. I'm writing this
not knowing what my exact
batting average was last
week because three games I
predicted were played Mon-
day night.
But I'm sure
good.”
If I go to the dance after the
ballgame tonight, I hope it’s
slow dancin’. I’m not as quick
on me feet as I used to do. I'll
be the guy there with the sack
of dreams on his back.
When I write a girl I met
this past summer while tour-
ing Paris (Kentucky, that is),
I have to write very slowly --
because she can’t read too
fast.
This hillbilly singer went to
Hollywood and became a sen-
sation. He made records,
films and a pocket full of
money. He returned home
one day and ran to see his
father.
“In California,” he said,
‘‘they do everything
backwards, Dad. They cook
in the backyard and have the
bathroom in the house.”
A woman told me recently,
concerning the subject of
Women Libbers, ‘I don’t
want to be liberated -- at least
not until I know how it feels to
be captured.”
I’m glad I’ve got Cable TV.
I can pick up over 20 chan-
nels. I can keep switching un-
til I find the right weather
report I like.
Have you heard the one
about the two Russian
astronauts? They were circl-
ing the globe deep in outer
space. One of them was sent
outside to walk the capsule to
see what was going on. A
half-hour later he was back
and knocked on the door of
the space ship. The other
Russian asked, ‘‘Who’s
there?”
Well, let’s see if we can find
out ‘“who’s where”’ Friday on
the prep front.
It’s the annual get-together

of South Point and East
Gaston. The Warriors have
won the last two games bet-
ween the two teams.
South Point gained some
much-needed confidence last
week with its 14-0 win over
West Mecklenburg on the
road. The Warriors dropped
their second game in a row at
Ashbrook.
I look for this to be a good
football game between two
fine rivals. I'll call it 20-13,
South Point. Fearless
predicted that the Raiders
would end their 16-game los-
ing skid with a win over West
Meck.
Kings Mountain, 1-1, plays
at South Caldwell. The Moun-
ties fell to Hunter Huss on a
muddy track Saturday. I'll
pick the Mountaineers to
ounce back by a 14-8 score.
North Gaston is off to a 2-0
start, but they’ve got to play
Ashbrook at home Friday. It
will be too much Green Wave
and I'll call it 27-7.
Cherryville hosts Burns,
and I'll pick the Bulldogs,
20-12. Hunter Huss is at East
