father's 1976
championship
Sean M ay no longer needs to
carry around that old videotape o f
his father’s national cham pionship
gam e. N ow he has one o f his own.
The burly North C arolina center
m ade all but one o f his 11 shots and
scored 26 points in a dom inating
perform ance, controlling the paint
and leading the T ar H eels past Illi
nois 75-70 M onday night.
In the process, M ay forced one
o f his defenders to foul out and left
another w ith four fouls. And M ay
left w ith the M ost O utstanding
Player aw ard.
No surprise there. T he son o f
Scott M ay carried N orth C arolina
to the Final Four by averaging 21.5
points and 11.8 rebounds in the
tournam ent, slightly better than his
regular-season num bers.
W hen M ay and his team m ates
arrived in St. Louis, he show ed them
the footage from the 1976 final,
w here his father and Indiana com
pleted an undefeated season with a
victory over M ichigan. M ay had
the tape since high school and had
seen it before, but he saved one
final view ing for the T ar H eels.
Then they w ent out and claim ed
the N CA A title, sprinting aw ay to a
big lead before holding o ff a late
com eback by the 111 ini. M ay added
10 rebounds, grabbing the carom
after a las, m iss by Illinois' Luther
H ead in the final seconds.

beat Illinois 75-70 in the NCAA championship game Monday in
St. Louis. (AP photo)
M ay’s 26 points m atched the
total his father scored in the final 29
years ago, leaving Sean w ith quite
a night on his 21st birthday.
“T his celebration is a lot better
than that ’76 celebration, ‘cause
it’s my celebration and this team ,”
he said. “ My dad talked about it for
so m any years, and I never really
understood w hat it was like, I never
won anything on this level.”
The Illini had rarely faced som e
one so rugged as M ay, listed at 6-
foot-9 and 250 pounds. A nd they
w ere ill-equipped to handle him,
particularly w hen 6 -fo o t-10 center
Jam es Augustine left w ith five fouls.
Reserve Jack Ingram finished with
four.
“It’s tough to stop M ay,” Illini
coach Bruce W eber said. “They
had probably m ore inside threat
with M ay than w e had, and it made
the difference in the gam e.”
In the final 20 gam es o f the sea
son, M ay had 15 double-doubles,
and he added the final one w hen it
m attered most. M ay d id n ’t take a
shot after m aking tw o free throw s
with 4:21 left to give the T ar Heels
a 70-67 lead, but he found other
w ays to help.
“It’s been unbelievable,” May
said. "M y team m ates, friends, fam
ily, they supported us. I’ll never
forget this till the day I die. T his is
the best m om ent I ’ ve ever had i n my
w hole life.”

Concordia softball coach Carrie Kosderka-Farrell shows a Jamaican softball team a few pointers.
Visit to Jamaica
proves successful
C oncordia softball coach Carrie
Kosderka-Farrell co u ld n 'tg e, home
from the airport during the ice storm
this w inter, but it d id n ’t matter.
The second-year coach had ju s,
returned from a week in Jam aica
doing som ething she loves - coach
ing softball to young people.
“ I m e, the new com m issioner of
softball in Jam aica w hile he was
doing business in Portland last
year,” K osderka said. “ He is doing
everything he can to rebuild their
softball program and he w anted me
to go over there to help start that
p ro ce ss.”
Kosderka-Farrell spent her m orn
ings w orking with coaches, teach
ing fundam entals and drills w hile
trying to grasp the culture o f Jam ai
can softball.
“Jam aican softball is on the low
end o f the totem pole w hen it com e
to athletics,” K osderka-Farrell said.
“ In Jam aica, the main sports are
soccer, track and cricket.”
She spent her afternoons prac
ticing with the about 50 girls for
three hours. Each day had a differ
ent focus on softball fundam entals
such as hitting, fielding, and pitch
ing.
W hile m any o f the girls she
w orked with w ere athletic, they
lacked the training, according to
Kosderka-Farrell.
She also found ou, that a lot o f
the Jam aica athletes w an, to study
i
in the United States. As part o f an
educational clinic, she gave a pre
sentation on C oncordia and hopes
to bring a couple athletes over this
sum m er to see the cam pus.
“It was an am azing experience
and the people were so inviting,”
Kosderka-Farrell said. “M y hus
band and I got to see so many
things we would have never seen
before. It w asquiteaculturechange.
In the states, we get so used to
having everything a, our finger
tips."
