102 Basketball Dr. Crain presents MVP Award in the Bobcat Classic to Lees-McRaes Peltre Williams. Lees-McRae College won the championship of the Bob- cat Booster Club Tournament by defeating Brevard Col- lege 55-53 in a nip-and-tuck contest that saw the Bobcats come back from a 12-point deficit to take their fifth victo- ry in six starts. A sticky Bobcat defense held Brevard to only 18 points in the second half, as Lees-McRae completely shut down Ricky Chatman, who had scored 13 points in the first half, and overcame a 39-29, ten-point lead to pull within three points on two buckets by Gary Strickland with 12 minutes to go, 41-38. With :14 seconds Barry Mayo hit the game-winning shot on a ten-foot jumper to take a 55-53 lead. Brevard had a chance to tie with :09 but Chatman's shot came off the rim and Strickland got the rebound and was fouled by Chatman with :02 seconds remaining. A present for Peltre. 3 il 1
