YEAR QF Paosfxrlo Anyone who considers him- self a Tarheel will tell you that as far as sports go, basketball is king in North Carolina. The game is played here with an intensity found in few other places. For the '74-75 season, Raleigh was the center of high school basket- ball in North Carolina, and Sanderson High School was right on top of all the action.

Behind the play of sensational Prep-All American Dirk Ewing, the Spartans found themselves in the middle of a hotly contested battle for the top notch in the Cap-8 with intra-city rivals Broughton and Enloe. Suddenly the second disaster struck as the Spartans were informed that they could not compete for the conference or state championships. Un Ian- uary 8, head coach Bill Harrington disclosed that the team had been put on probation for using an academically in- eligible player in the Spartans pre-season scrimmage with-Terry Sanford. As a result the team was ineligible for all post season play. It was an honest mistake, for Sanderson offi- cials turned the school in as soon as the infraction was discovered.
