GOAL: To improve on the l97l -72 record of 20-6. 9 4. .5 Freshman Roger Weber played well, filling in Q.. ll Y for iniured Brad Becker. How does a basketball team improve on a 20-6 won-lost record? Easy. Play a tougher schedule, win more games, and accept an invitation to the NAIA District 25 Playoffs. And that is exactly what the l972-73 Armstrong State College Pirates proceeded to do. With a group of experi- enced seniors, some mature sophomores and a couple of talented freshmen, l5OO loyal fans, four months of grueling prac- tice, sweat, and work, it was a simple rou- tine.

HIGHLIGHTS Roger beats the SSC press as ASC wins the city championship. How about the opening game of the Shriners' Invitational Basketball Classic. ASC vs. cross town rival Savannah State, the first of many grudge-matches. SSC iumped ahead 23-9. Looked bad. Who is No. 42? Good-sized lad. In the next I6 minutes 442, Eliiah ISonnyl Powell very calmly turned the tide to the tune of a 46- 44 half-time lead. The Powell era began. Put it in text with the Sam Berry era, the Ike Williams era, and the Skippy Hancock era, and before long one realizes this team has some eras and some talent. The firm of Powell, Berry, Williams and Han- cock nobly executed a basketball victory over SSC 92-82.
