C5 Daily Press, Monday, Nov. 24, 1986 Newcomers look impressive for in opener By BOB MOSKOWITZ Staff Writer Hampton University hopes a trio of newcomers continues to play well in the Pirates' home opener tonight at 7:30 against Benedict College in Holland Hall. A pair of freshmen out of State Group AA champion Martinsville were particularly impressive in Friday night's season-opening 86-71 triumph at Division III Rutgers-Camden. Six-foot-four guard James Hunt scored 18 points (including 2-of-4 three-point goals), had 5 steals, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. Stacy Clark, a 6-5 forward, added 15 points (hitting 6-of-13 from the field), had 8 rebounds and 2 steals.

The third newcomer who started and turned in a good performance for an all-underclass starting unit was 6-8 junior college transfer Derrick Dun-son. He had 11 points and 11 rebounds, recording 9 points and 7 rebounds in the second half. Continued sound performances will be needed against Benedict, which lost its season-opener, 89-85, to cross-town Columbia, rival Allen in a Division II thriller Friday night. The Pirates unveiled a six-man contingent in double figures. The others were 6-9 senior Rowan Gomes with 15 points, Warwick High's sophomore Michael Smith with 13 and junior Raymond Lee with 12.

The Pirates also produced a 48-28 rebounding edge. Coach Hank Ford had gone into the season hoping for improvement under the boards. "The rebounding looked better at times," he said. Ford mostly alternated Dun-son and Gomes in the middle, with Gomes pulling down 12 rebounds. He, too, did the brunt of his damage in the second half.

"It was a typical opening game," said Ford. Other than that, he was typically non-commital. catches," Georgia Tech coach Bill Curry said. The season had to be a most remarkable reversal for the Wolfpack (8-2-1). It had won nine games in the last three years combined.

"I guess 1 2 weeks ago, we wouldn't have believed we'd be in this said N.C. State coach Dick Sheridan. "We are not a physically overwhelming team, but we have a great amount of intensity and always get a tremendous effort from our players. We had a special togetherness which makes up for our lack of size and strength." Clemson will get to see the "infamous" Stanford band in the Gator Bowl, but that wasn't on Tigers coach Danny Ford's mind Saturday. "This is not normally the kind of dressing room we'd like to have to accept a bowl," Ford said, referring to the somber mood after a 21-21 tie with South Carolina.

"But we want to have the opportunity to come back and get better and play better and improve our football team." Virginia and Maryland clash Friday in the ACC's final football game. Band humor: Stanford University band members admitted it was not the funniest show they'd ever done. In fact, it was downright bland. But it was clean and wholesome and it got them out of the doghouse. Banned from the field Nov.

5 for its allegedly tasteless pranks and obscene humor, the band won a second chance last week and came prancing back Saturday in an angelic mood. Band members were so angelic at the game that they wore tinsel halos glued to little sticks behind their heads. The halftime show was sugar-sweet, celebrating that Stanford will play in the Gator Bowl next month. It was a magnificent show of penitence: no dropped trousers, urinating on the field, sexual innuendoes or a single coarse gesture. Band members confessed that it had taken a great deal of self-control not to slip in just one tasteless gesture, for principle's sake.

"We knew we couldn't push it. We want to go to the Gator Bowl," trumpet player Drew Wilson said. "Besides," he added, "it's kind of a challenge to come up with a show that's simple and entertaining to everyone." Compiled by ALAN HIRSCH bury State's Mike Coppa to outrush the entire Emory Henry team in a 34-20 victory. Coppa rushed for 223 yards and an important fourth-quarter touchdown to leave the Wasps 10-2 for the year. "Over the season," Seagulls coach Mike Glinchey said, "he's the guy we try to give it to." The Gulls led just 21-20 going to the final period, but Bill Maurer pushed the lead to four with a chip-shot field goal, Coppa dashed 46 yards for a clinching TD and Maurer added another short field goal.

Including Coppa's yardage, Salisbury State amassed 336 on the ground to the Wasps' 212. ACC 'bowlers': Three Atlantic Coast Conference football teams are heading for bowl games, but a fourth Georgia Tech squandered a big lead and lost its chance to join in the postseason parade. North Carolina State will meet Virginia Tech in the Peach Bowl, North Carolina faces Arizona in the Aloha Bowl and ACC champion Clemson meets Stanford in the Gator Bowl. But the Yellow Jackets, who needed only to beat Wake Forest to get into the Bluebonnet Bowl, watched a big lead fade away en route to a 24-21 Demon Deacon triumph. Jamie Harris threw a touchdown pass and Darryl McGill ran for another score as Wake Forest fought back from a 14-0 deficit and broke a three-game losing streak in the process.

Wake Forest also was trying to shake off the suspension of nine players, including starting quarterback Mike Elkins. "I think these football players deserved in every way, shape, form and classification to be called winners," Wake Forest coach Al Groh said. "Obviously, it's a storybook finish for a guy like Jamie Harris and I've never been happier for a player than I am for him right now." Wake Forest finished at 5-6, while Georgia Tech dropped to 5-4-1. Georgia Tech was ahead, 21-17, when Harris tossed a 12-yard scoring pass to tight end Greg Scales with 2:12 left in the third quarter. Georgia Tech's last drive ended when A.J.

Greene intercepted a pass on the Wake 29 with 30 seconds to play. "We had good field position at the end with a chance to win and we couldn't make the easy James Madison It was a sloppy finish to a season which started sloppily for James Madison. On a rain-soaked field in Towson, the Dukes and Towson State sloshed to a 7-7 tie. JMU began the season with three straight losses but rebounded despite a schedule laden with Top 20 teams. The highlight of the Dukes' campaign came with a 42-33 triumph against William and Mary.

With a chance for a winning season Saturday, JMU had to use three quarterbacks on the slick field just to earn the tie and 5-5-1 record. "About 75 percent of our attack has been on the perimeter," JMU coach Joe Purzycki said. "On a slushy, soggy field, you can't execute the things we usually do." Second-stringer Julius Sherman started, but he slipped and fell the first two times he went back to pass. Eric Green, despite an ankle injury, tried to come on. He, too, failed to generate a scoring drive.

Finally, in the second half, freshman third-stringer Roger Waters took over, completed 11-of-24 passes (151 yards) and threw 25 yards to Neal Wilkinson for the tying score with 5:55 left. Virginia Military Institute: The Keydets completed a season in which they suffered their worst record in 15 years. Jeff Morgan threw two touchdown passes and Jorge Cimadevilla kicked a go-ahead field goal to give East Tennessee State a 31-20 victory over VMI (1-10) late Saturday night. Morgan, a junior, threw a 46-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to Danny Rebber and a 3-yard pass to Cedric Soloman in the fourth. Cimadevilla, ETSU's senior punter-kicker, booted a 37-yard field goal in the third quarter to put the Buccaneers ahead for good at 17-14.

He also kicked four extra points. ETSU's Herman Jacobs, a 5-foot-8 senior, set the Buccaneers' all-time career rushing record with 2,421 yards, breaking Greg Stubbs' previous record of 2,317 yards in 1973. Mark Stock led the scoring for VMI, catching TD passes of 85 and 77 yards from Dave Brown.

"It should be a great game.

Everybody here hates Delaware. I know it'll be easier to get up for them than for some team you don't know anything about." Said tight end Dave Pisano: "Personally, I think it's good that we're playing Delaware. It's someone we're familiar with, plus the fact that we've already beaten them, the previous advantage, will help give our team confidence going into the game."

the Year by The Associated Press. Sheridan was a unanimous selection of a panel of nine sports writers who cover the ACC. Sheridan guided the Wolfpack to wins over Maryland, North Carolina and Clemson this season.
