Mike Tyson scares me. So explosive. So devastating. And the
scariest thing is—there’s nobody in the heavyweight boxing ranks
who can give him a match...
On the other end of the spectrum there’s Charlotte boxer Kelvin
Seabrooks. Nice guy. Takes the punishment. His right hand is
deadly. His left left hand is weak. And therein lies the reason for
his loss to Orlando Canizales in last week’s bantamweight bout.
Kelvin lost his I.B.F. belt because he waited too long to connect
with the homerun from right. In the meantime, Canizales used a
variety of punches to put Kelvin on the mat twice. The fight was
stopped in the 15th. Seabrooks is a nice guy with a big smile and
an even bigger heart. For his sake, let’s hope he made a good pay-
day and can move on to a better way of life.
Notice something missing in last month’s NBA draft? It’s right
under your nose—uh, let’s see—was it a three-letter acronym from
the Atlantic Coast Conference? Yes, tobacco road breath, the ACC
was absent without leave from round one of the college draft. Vinny
Del Negro of N.C. State was the first ACC player chosen (2nd round
by Sacramento).
For the first time since 1970, the ACC didn’t have a player in the
first round. And equally amazing, for the first time in over 20 years,
North Carolina missed putting a Tar Heel in any round. From
1971-87, UNC had 46 players into the first round. You know who
most of them are. But in 1988, only one player was a senior—
Ranzino Smith, basically a role player. Had the draft not been
shortened from seven to three rounds, Zino may have made it.

cond baseman.
Couch moved to second on the
play and then scored the winning
run on Donald Bell's double to
left-center.
David Jenkins, pitching in
relief of Rogers, was the winning
pitcher. Brian Crocker, who
relieved Tommy Payne in the
eighth, was the loser even though
he didn’t give up an earned run.
Grover had grabbed a 3-2 lead
in the top of the eighth. Dale
Philbeck singled and Mike Head
doubled and Philbeck scored the
go-ahead run on a single by Chad
Alexander. Kings Mountain got
out of the inning, however, when
Shane Crocker lined out to left-
field and Head was caught off
third for a double play.
Kings Mountain scored twice
off Payne in the first on a triple
by Eddie Wilson and Matt
Rikard’s single, and those were
the only hits off Payne. However,
the talented Grover righthander
was forced to leave the mound
after seven innings because he
had used all of his allotted inn-
