(Staff photo by Bill Lindau) By BILL LINDAU Sports Editor Throughout the Southeastern 4A Conference basketball season Rich- mond Senior High School has trailed Lee Senior by half a game. The Raiders turned the tables on their worthy opponents Tuesday evening, winning a 72-66 overtime thriller. Richmond's girls gave their Lee guests a surprisingly close game ear- lier in the day, but could not hang with diem long enough to prevent a 56-44 loss. Richmond trailed throughout most of the varsity boys' regulation game, as Jeff Swann hit 27 points to help keep Lee ahead. But the Raiders used a man-to-man defense to stay in the game, and with two seconds to go, big center James Hamilton caught Kenny Crump's inbound pass and stuffed it in to tie it up 63-all. Richmond kept using its man-to-man in the three-minute overtime as the hosts finally pulled away, taking first place away from the Yellow Jackets as the first round of the conference season nears its end. "It's probably the best basketball we played in a long time," said Rich- mond coach Tom Baucom, whose team now leads Lee by half a game at SPORTS Bill Lindau, Sports Editor—997-3111 JVs Trash Lee Richmond Senior High School's junior-varsity basketball team had an easier time than its varsity squad did later on. The Junior Raiders took a lopsided SouUieastern 4A Confer- ence win over their Lee Senior guests for Richmond's 10th win in a row on Tuesday afternoon. Richmond scored 11 points per quarter in the first half for a 22-11 advantage. Lee was never in the game the the Raiders made sure that's how it would by, as the hosts outscored the Junior Yellow Jackets 32-7 in the Uiird quarter. Richmond slowed down in me fourth, but slipped past Lee 19-16 for the 39-point margin. Richmond continues to have a firm hold in die conference, going to 5-0 in the SEC and 10-1 overall. Lee J$ win Jess in league play at 0-6. On Friday Richmond's JVs will visit Anson County at 4:30 p.m. Phillip Ellis led a balanced scor- ing attack with 15 points for the Ju- nior Raiders. Teammates James Rat- liff and Matthew Liles were also in double figures, with 14 and 11, re- spectively, including two three- point baskets by Liles. Ellis, Danny Lampley and Anthony Brewington also had treys. Among the other Richmond scor- ers were Tyrone Allred, seven; Wil- liam Streeter and Derrick Bailey, six apiece; Ronnie Williams, five; Lem Swinney, two; and Brannon Player, one.

TED MARCHIBRODA Marchibroda Rejoins Colts INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ted Marchibroda has returned to coach the Colts, the team he took from me- diocrity to three AFC East champ- ionships in the 1970s. Marchibroda, the offensive coor- dinator for the Buffalo Bills the past two years, coached the Colts from 1975-79 when they were in Balti- more. He was named NFL coach of the year in 1975, and his 1976 team led the NFL in total offense, passing and scoring. Marchibroda was fired by Robert Irsay following a 5-11 season in 1979. The Colts had sought a coach since their season ended with one victory and 15 defeats. They could not approach the 60-year-old Mar- chibroda until the Bills' season offi- cially ended, which it did in a 37-24 loss to the Washington Redskins in Sunday's Super Bowl. Pats Get Redding ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons traded offensive lineman Reggie Redding to the New England Patriots for a fifth-round draft pick this year and a conditional pick next year. 5-0 in the league and 10-4 overall. Lee took its first loss in the SEC and is now 12-2, 5-1. "Lee County has a great basket- ball team," Baucom added. "We were fortunater to come back and play good hard man-to-man and take the game into overtime and win. It was our man-to-man defense mat did it." Crump sank the first basket in the OT period, but Lee star Jeff Swann scored to tie it up 65-all. Second- stringer Bruce Wall scored two ba- skets to put Richmond up by three, making his second basket just after Swann had hit a free throw for Lee's final point. The Raiders missed out on two one-and-one occasion, but Lee's offense did not get anywhere, either. Swann, who had a game-high 27 points, missed a basket, Rich- mond's Theodus Roach sank a free throw with 22 seconds left and Wall made a bank shot to seal die victory. Hamilton, who is incidentally an ACC football prospect expected to commit to cither North Carolina or N.C. State soon, led four Richmond players in double figures with 24 points. Starting point guard Von Brown was next with 17, followed by Crump widi 14 and Wall widi 10. David Miller of Lee was also in dou- ble figures with 12. The Raiders will be on the road for tiwir next dirce games, visiting An- son County on Friday, Purnell Swett on Tuesday to close out the first round, and Pinecrest on Feb. 7 to open d»e second. Richmond's next home game is Tuesday, Feb. 11, against Purnell Swett Girls' game Richmond's girls, which had been down in numbers all month, gave the heavy favorites fits all evening as Lee struggled to a 21-20 half time lead, but a 24-point performance by Cindy Kelly helped to keep the Yel- low Jackets afloat. It was not until the fourth quarter that the game was decided, however. Chcllia Nelson opened that stanza by converting a three-point play to bring her team one basket away from the lead, 33-31. Lee pulled away at that point, as Kelly sank four free throws and a ba- sket, and Tosha Alston hit two from the floor. Later Heather Moore also made two baskets to give Lee a 14-point advantage at the 1:47 mark, 49-35. "We didn't shoot the ball well," said Richmond coach Wayne Wil- liams, "and Kelly killed us." (See RSH, page 10) Richmond Wrestlers Fall Short SANFORD — Richmond Senior High School's wrestling team saw six members win the nine matches that were held in Tuesday evening's regular-season finale at Lee Senior, but four forfeits brought the Raiders up short 40-32 in Southeastern 4A Conference action. Nakia Pretty, Daniel Wall, Thur- man Davis, Willie Home, Courtney Galbreath and Clyde Smith were Richmond's weight-class winners in the effort, which pleased coach La- mar Frasier despite the team loss. "We had probably the best indivi- dual performances we've had all season," Frasier said. "When we get six wins out of nine who wrestled, we'll take that any day. That's pretty well a winning percentage." Richmond will begin post-season wrestling action with the conference championship tournament, Saturday at Lee. First-round matches begin at 10 a.m., with the championship rounds at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday's individual results are as follows: 103 pounds — Lee Senior woo by forfeit. 112 — Loe bv forfeit 119 — Lee by forfeit. Georgia Tech Wins ATLANTA (AP) — The College of Charleston made the game inter- esting, but Georgia Tech was saving its best for the second half. No. 20 Tech (15-5), which trailed by as many as six points in the first half and 61-59 with 7:27 to go, used die outside shooting of Travis Best tq overcome the determined Cou- • garS-Tr^O Tuesday night. Charleston (14-3), playing its first season in NCAA Division f, concen- trated on stopping Jon Barry, who scored 15 points in the first half but only six in the second. "I feel very fortunate to win. 1 thought Charleston was tremend- ous," said Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins. Best contributed four 3-pointers, one of which gave Tech a 65-61 lead with 6:04 remaining. He scored 14 points, all in the second half. "I wasn't attacking in the first half but it came together in the second half," the freshman guard said. "In the second half, I really thought we were in serious trouble," Cremins said. "They are just a well- coached, a very good basketball team. 'They were taking us out of our defense," Cremins said. "We were embarassed because they were get- ting layup after layup after layup. We had all kinds of problems early. We came out flat. There's no doubt about it." Charleston coach John Kresse was pleased with his team's ability to stay in the game "I think I had my good friend Bobby Cremins worried tonight at KIDS BOXED VALENTINES FOR SCHOOL 1.29-2.19 75% OFF TRI CITY SHOPPING CENTER 997-6070 Mon.-Thurs 9-7:30 Frl.-Sat. 9-8 Closed Sun.

I was afraid Georgia Tech was in a groove to blow us out, but they didn't because of us." He said the Cougars were hurt by some late turnovers. "I don't know what happened. Either they wore us down or we got nervous, he said. "We played pretty good for 32-33 minutes." Tech converted 7 of 8 free throws in the closing minutes to stave off a comeback effort led by Dean Dun- bar, who scored the Cougars' last five points. Barry's 21 points led all scorers.

Board Could Rule For HIV Patients BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — The International Olympic Commit- tee is expected to reaffirm next week that HIV-infected athletes such as Magic Johnson pose no hazard to other competitors, the IOC's chief medical official said. Prince Alexandre de Merode, head of the IOC's Medical Commis- sion, stressed that Johnson, who tested positive for the AIDS vims, should play in the Barcelona Games because the "risk of contamination is extremely low." He said Australian threats to boy- cott the U.S. team if Johnson played were based on "hysteria." Top Games How the top 25 learns in The Associated Press college basketball poll fared Tuesday: I.
