High Point, NC> Queens University of
Charlotte has taken the overall lead in the Conference Carolinas
Joby Hawn Cup at the halfway point after the
completion of the winter sports league championships. The
Hawn Cup is awarded to the league member that shows the highest
rating of excellence in conference-sponsored sports. The Hawn
Cup is tallied after each sport season (fall, winter, & spring)
and then awarded each year in honor of former Commissioner H.C.
"Joby" Hawn for his many years of service to the former
‘Carolinas Conference’.
Conference Carolinas continues to use the same format that was
new for last year, where the Hawn Cup will have a winner for just
the women’s sports, a winner for just the
men’s sports, and then an overall winner
using both the men and women’s combined tallies. Hawn
Cup points are awarded in each sport based on the order of regular
season finish with bonus points going to the tournament champion (2
bonus points) and runner-up finisher (1 bonus point), based on the
number of participating teams in each sport.
For the individual men’s cup, a three-way tie for the lead
between King, Lees-McRae, and Queens was broken after a Fall
stalemate with King currently sitting on top with a .818 rating.
The Tornado took the most points (11) during the men’s
basketball season where they won the Western Division league
regular season. Queens isn’t far behind (.788) as they won
their own Eastern Division regular season title and took ten
men’s Hawn Cup points during the Winter session. Barton
and Mount Olive jumped-up into a third-place tie with a .667
current rating. Barton took two bonus points winning the
Conference Championship while Mount Olive took one point as the
tournament championship runner-up.
Lees-McRae held onto the women’s lead tallying 39.5 points
for a .823 rating through the Winter season. The Bobcats
initial lead can be credited to their titles in women’s
soccer and women’s volleyball. They are followed
by Queens with 38.5 points and .802 rating who won the
women’s cross-country title. Limestone made the biggest move
up the women’s ranks gaining two spots on the field.

after winning the Western Division regular season title while
