Invitation to Bid
Pilot Profiles...
by Ullysses Tucker, Jr.
•‘I was mostly into football as a
youth.” said Darwin Cook, a 6*4”
junior for the University o f Port
land. “ But after being banged up a
couple o f times, I thought I’d give
basketball a try.”
Cook, a native o f Los Angeles
never played organized basketball
until he was a sophomore at Cren
shaw High School. For two years he
scrapped and claw ed, but found
himself on the J.V team each time.
It was real tough to play V arsity
for three years,” he said. “ The
coach always had a lot of seniors to
look out for, so 1 had to be patient
and wait my turn."
The summer after his junior year
Cook worked out every day with
Marqus Johnson o f the Milwaukee
Bucks and Robert Smith o f the Den
ver Nuggets. Both players were at
UCLA and Nevada-Las Vegas when
they gave Cook his formal education
on the court. Johnson also played
for coach Willie West.
Cook also improved his skills by
playing in several sum m er tou r
naments around the city.
The hard work and patience paid
o ff during his senior year when he
surprised the league by averaging
24.0 points per game and 10 assists as
Crenshaw zipped into the Western
League play-offs and finished the
season 24-2.
Cook was named all-conference
second team, and MVP in the ban
ning Christmas tournament the same
year. U pon graduation, several
schools went after the services o f the
son o f Robert and A nna C o o k .

A m ong them were U SC , Cal-
Fullerton, USF. and the University
o f Portland.
“ My biggest reason for coming
here was to get my education at a
small school,” he said. "And to help
put a growing athletic program on
the m ap, that way I get m ore
sa tisfa c tio n in know ing I c o n
trib u ted .” With C ook the P ilots
have been 13-13, 19-8. and are cur
rently 5-0. Their best start since 1951.
As a P ilot, Darwin has started

and State Usher Departments As a
result o f Sister Coppage’s efforts.
Also a new board was instituted un
der her direction; she is advisor to
the young adult choir and hospitality
chairman o f 1979. New H ope is
proud to have had her as their
President and pray that God will
forever bless her as she continues to
serve him in many capacities.
This past year, she was elected
Queen for the State Usher General Bap
tist Convention, which required rais
ing funds for the non-profit orga
nization which is not an easy task.
But through Christ nothing is
impossible. She has traveled through
out the Pacific Northwest during
the past tw o years representing
New H op e M issionary Baptist
Church through speaking and serv
ing the M aster, our Lord and
Saviour. Our best wishes go to her
and we o f New Hope Missionary
Baptist Church Usher Department
salute her for a job well done!
season span, and shows no sign of
slowing down.
Going into his third season Cook
has scored 700 points by averaging
13.2 as freshman when he became
the first “ ro ok ie” to be named
” M V P ," and last seasons 13.3
scoring clip. Cook has also averaged
9 assists in each season.
Against USF last season. Cook ob
tained a membership card to the
“ elitist” 40 Point Club when he
“ freaked” for 41 points, one short
o f the school record set by Cincy
P ow ell in 1964-65. P ow ell later
starred for Kentucky in the old ABA,
and the last Pilot to make it to the
pros.
Darwin was also named to the
•'.All West Coast Athletic Conference"
All Star Squad, (second team), and
selected "Player o f the Week” on
the West Coast for his efforts against
USF. C ook has been labeled by
scouts and coaches as one o f the best
guards in the Western United States.
“ Darwin continues to im prove
each season," said head coach Jack
Avina. “ It’s a disadvantage for him
to be playing on a team with so many
shooters (R ick R avio 16.0 and
Reggie Logan 14.5). The fact that he
is a ball-handling guard takes away
shot opportunities for him, and he
can shoot.”
C ook is o ff to a fast start this
season, he’s leading the team in
scoring with a 16.3 pace. Cook also
dishes out eight assists a game and
leads in steals.
Last Thursday, Cook was named
“ M VP” in the City championship
against PSU when he scored 20 points
and had 9 assists. The Pilots won a
tough 71-70 contest. The following
Saturday he scored 16 points, had
some key steals, and a driving lay-up
at the buzzer to give the Pilots a 87-
85 win over the University o f Pacific.
On Monday, he hit 18 points along
with Rick Ravio and Reggie Logan
as they won 91-76.
“ Maybe the next road trip will do
me good," said Cook. They travel to
Hawaii for two games this weekend.
Avina added, “ He makes our fast
break click, and has tremendous ex
plosiveness which makes our break
more effective. Darwin has untapped
potential, and only he can determine
how great he can be.”
Aspiring to be a teacher-coach.
Cook recently taught a short story
class at Roosevelt High School where
he goes to observe teaching techni
ques. It’s part o f the requirement for
education majors at the University.
“ Dealing with crowds in basket
ball got me psyched for being in
front o f the k id s,” he laughed.
“ Seriously though, teachers thought
that 1 would get hassles, but the kids
knew me and respected my purpose
for being there, I was down to earth
and on their level, unlike m ost
teachers . . . ”
The twenty-year-old Cook also
said, “ I selected this major because
it’ll put me in the position to deal
with athletes in the classroom and in
practice. Then they will catch the
value o f education both ways —
many youngsters, athletes or not
must realize the value o f education.”

“ I would further like to establish a

motivate our young and old mem
