The senior from Virgie was 12 of 20 from the field (60 percent) and nine of 10 from the free throw line (90 percent). Tonight, we say good-bye to one of the greatest players in all of basketball, said PC Coach Greg White. His team finished the season 21-10. May finished his career at Pikeville College with all the school scoring records. He had 2,225 points in 59 games (two seasons), for an average of 37.7 points per game. That is the best career average in the history of the NAIA, and the second best career average in the history of four-year college basketball. He scored a school record of 1,243 points this season, an average of 40.1 points per game, the fifth best season average in the history of the NAIA. In two seasons. May also averaged 15.5 re- bounds per game. May was consistent enough that he scored 30 points or better in 48 of his 59 gamesi 40 points or more in 25 games; and scored 50 points or better in six games. His career high, and the school ' s single-game record, came on November 22, 1986, when he scored 59 points against Bristol College. This season. May helped Pikeville College to its first 20-win season in 10 years. But number 22 just wasn ' t to be Tuesday night against Georgetown College, as the Bears missed a front end bonus free throw and two short jumpers in the final two minutes of the game. 1986-87 FACTS Led NAIA and collegiate ranks in scoring (40.1 points per game) Second in rebounding (14.8 per game) Led Pikeville College to its first 20-win season in ten years Scored 1,243 points in 31 games Field goal percentage 59.0 (494 836) Free throw percentage 86.3 (254 294) 94 assists (3.1 per game) Player of the Year in KIAC and District 32 First team All-American Scored in double figures 31 of 31 games High rebound total — 25 High point total — 59 Had 50 points and 25 rebounds in same game Sports 109 Greg White Hoskins Carroll Shawn Finney Bears Win Two The Pikeville College Bears improved to 4-2 overall (2-1 in the KIAC) with two recent wins.

The Bears improved to 8-4 in conference play with the win, II- 6 overall, and moved one step closer to a home berth in the KIAC Tournament. PC is in third place in the conference, three-fourths of the way through the schedule. The top four teams in regular season play earn home berths. Berea and Union are tied in fourth place, at 4-6. PC won Tuesday night ' s game with Berea despite having four starters play with the flu, including Ail-American Todd May, who was still far above the average mortal despite his sick- ness. May scored 35 points and pulled 15 rebounds, despite struggling with foul trouble in the second half. The senior forward hit 14 of 22 from the field (64 percent) and seven of nine free throws (78 percent). Junior Mark Rowan hit 10 of 13 shots from the field (77 percent) and contributed 23 points in an outstanding perfor- mance. Rowan helped silence Berea ' s rallies with critical points in two situations — six in a row between the 12 and 10 minute marks, then seven consecutive points between 2:41 and 1:37. Sports 10 Sports Bears Win On Road PC got its first road win of the season in a confer- ence game at Berea. 90-82. The Bears improved to 6-5 overall and 4-3 in conference play with the win.

Before a packed house, upset-minded KCC led the Bears late in the game by as many as six points. The Bears outscored the Knights 11-4 in the extra five minutes. For PC, it was the third overtime game of the season, and the third overtime win. The game has some bizarre twists. In pre-game warmups, Reggie Gravely broke a rim with a dunk, and delayed the game 45 minutes. Early in the second half, Todd May and Gravely were both injured on the same series of play. May tried to save the basketball at one end and ran into the walL Gravely turned his ankle on defense, while May lay on the other end of the floor recovering from his crash.

Coach Roy Cutright took his starters out with 14:29 left in the first half, and cruised to a 44-10 halftime lead. The second half brought no better hope for the Lady Cavs, as PC scored the first 33 points of the last half, taking a 77-10 lead.

Standing — Chris Epiing, George Hie, Mike Webb, Donnie Stump. Danny Keith Tackett, Billy Mosley, Danny Maynard, Mark Ratliff, Scott Loudermelt, Coach Steve Priode. Steve Priode (right), a 1985 graduate of Pikeville Col- lege, was named head baseball coach for the 1986-87 season. Priode, a stand-out player for Paintsville High School and later a baseball scholarship student at Pike- ville College, is also employed as an admissions counsel- or. I love baseball, he says. Always have and always will. This is one of the greatest opportunities I ' ve ever had. I am really excited about this year. Priode became interested in baseball at age five and has been involved in the sport in some fashion ever since that time. He was a member of the Paintsville High School team of 1981. a team that twice made it to the state tournament finals. After playing four years of high school ball, Priode was recruited for Pikeville Col- lege by then baseball coach Paul Butcher (now athletic director). He played three years at Pikeville College before the sport fell victim to economic cutbacks. He continued playing in summer leagues, even organiz- ing and coaching a semi-pro league during the summers of 1985 and 1986. Priode worked as an assistant coach at Pikeville High School during his student teaching expe- rience in 1985. He helped guide the team to a spot in the finals of regional play, only to lose out to his alma mater — Paintsville. iS 128 Sports The new coach expressed cautious optimism when asked about the upcoming season. Bears ' baseball began with a home game against Union College on March 31. Since many of his players have been away from competitive baseball for as much as three years, Priode emphasized fundamentals. We ' re go- ing back to the basics, he explained. It ' s going to take probably three to four years to have a really competitive team in this league, but I believe that we can probably win a few games this year. The Bears played nine double-headers, and the home field was the Hambley Athletic Center and the Bob Amos Recreation Park. Working with players is not the only job on this young man ' s mind. I think it ' s really important to simply establish the fact that baseball is back at Pikeville College. This is the first team since 1983 and we need to get the community to come out and get to know us. I read somewhere that the word team actually stands for ' together each accomplishes more ' . I believe that makes a lot of sense. So, if we accomplish just that much, letting the community know that we have a team, winning a couple of games, and having a good time, then I believe we ' ve accomplished a lot.

Assistant basketball coach James Dickey of the University of Kentucky outlined to the athletes, parents and fans of the Pikeville College sports pro- grams at the PC Athletic Banquet, Monday, April 27, 1987. Along the way to presenting what he called common denominators of suc- cessful people, Dickey observed that college athletics today is burdened by pressure to win games. We ' re (coaches) hired and fired to win basketball games, said Dickey. That ' s one of the problems that you have in college athletics today. If you don ' t win, you ' re not gonna keep your job. Added the six-year sidekick to Eddie Sutton, But I still believe, and our staff believes, that you must graduate young men and turn out people who can go into society as quality citi- zens. Dickey said that the first thing we want is a young man that is a good student. We want all of our players to graduate. They must be a student-ath- lete. He talked about a few key points that will work for anyone, not only in athlet- ics, but in a bigger game — the game of life. The five-points Dickey discussed were: first, a positive mental attitude. Second, all these people (winners) are disciplined. You don ' t always get to do what you want to do in life, you have to do what you have to do . . . Discipline is doing what you are supposed to do, when you ' re supposed to do it, as well as you can do it, and doing it all the time. Third, be enthusiastic. Not only about sports ... but about life. Life is fragile. You should live it every day with enthusiasm and learn to love life. Fourth, be committed . . . Vince Lombardi said that. The quality of a man is directly proportional to his committment to excellence. ' Fifth, believe. Number one, believe in God. Second, believe in yourself. Say I can . . . Dream. Picture yourself being successful, it ' s hard to convince someone else to believe in you if you don ' t believe in yourself. 134 Sports For Success To PC A thietes The PC Lady Bears (top) posed for a picture after receiving their awards. all-American Todd May picked up a basketball detailing his accomplishments, and his old jersey (left). 1986-87 Athletic Awards.
