Fawcett picks Class D’s finest BY RICH GERKS Tribune Staff Writer With the addition of North Huron Coach Dick Fawcett to the Class D UPI coaches' panel, the Warriors could find themselves with more recognition in the weekly state rank- ings out they'll have to do it the old- fashioned way.. .earn it “I think they his players) know I'm going to vote honestly.” he said. “After tne Kingston loss (67-59 on Jan. 15). I'm not going to rate us. We don’t deserve the ratings.” Fawcett, 37. was named to the six- member panel last month by UPI to give his views on which Class D teams are the cream of Michigan’s basketball crop. “Thev didn’t say why they picked me,” ne said. “I hoped it was because we’ve had gooa teams and they recognize the North Huron name.” Recognizing North Huron and other Thumb teams is something Fawcett hopes to bring to the panel - and to basketball followers across the state. “Of course, I’m going to try and rate teams in our area,” he said. “But it’s the same old game of politics - whoever is on tne panel gives more ratings in those areas.” Fawcett has been on the panel for three weeks. Members make their selections individually; he said he has little contact with the other panelists. “I'm sure we’re going to miss some teams (in the voting).” he said. “But I think you’re getting a pretty good idea of the best teams in ihestate.” Each panelist lists his choices for lot in ways to become successful in life. “And. we also like to have fun. Fatfcett has coached basketball in the North Huron school district for the top 15 state teams. “I go through and keep track of team’s won-loss record, the teams beaten and how much they won by,” he said. “That gives me an indica- tion of how they’re doing.” Fawcett said the weekly rankings should not be set in stone, although the list taken as a whole does show Michigan’s best teams. The recognition may boost a lot of egos, but it also brings the best out of opponents. “For the ranked teams, the incen- tive is to stay there,” Fawcett said. “But if you’re playing a team that’s ranked, it’s an added incentive to knock them off.” North Huron knows that feeling well. The Warriors are a perennial choice on the list of the better teams in Class D. Fawcett said the War- riors were ranked as high as No. 2 in the state. That ranking came in 1981, when they went to state semi-finals. This season. North Huron, 8-1 overall and 6-1 in the North Central Thumb League, has been in and out of the state rankings. Kingston, 7-0 in the league and 9-0 overall is first in the NCTL. “The way we’re playing right now, we don’t deserve to be in the top 10,” he said. “But the way we will be playing, the way we’re capable of plaving -- we’re as good as any team in the state.” Fawcett said his coaching philosophy runs deeper than wins and losses, however. “I hope that through sports, you can develop as better people.” he said. “A lot of characteristics, such as leadership and discipline, lend a 11 years. This is his eighth season as the Warriors’ varsity coach. “We re not a goal-oriented team.” Fawcett said. “We want to develop our players as persons.
