High Point, NC> King College has taken the
lead in the Conference Carolinas Joby Hawn Cup
with the completion of all 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 is in its third year of using the format
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 women’s cup, Belmont Abbey (.768
rating) retains their Fall lead with King (.759) pulling closer
following their women’s indoor track & field title.
Queens (.688) is just ahead of Mount Olive (.652) after the Trojans
claimed the women’s basketball championship and moved-up two
spots. Limestone (.616) and Pfeiffer (.615) also both jumped
two spots to give the top six teams a close eye on the
competition.
Limestone extended their lead for the individual men’s
cup. After a tight race following the Fall season the Saints
now have a seven point advantage with 39 points and a .951 rating
over King who stands at 32 points and .780 rating. King made
the most significant move up the rankings, jumping from seventh
place all the way to second place with their men’s indoor
track & field championship title. Mount Olive (.720) comes in
at the third spot followed closely by rival Barton (.646).
Belmont Abbey (.610) also moved from sixth to fifth after winning
the men’s basketball championship title this year.
For the overall tally, King (.866 rating) moved-up a spot to
take the midway lead but only by a narrow margin over Limestone
(.855) who also moved just ahead of Fall leader Belmont Abbey
(.791). Mount Olive (.767) and Barton (.674) are also lurking
in the weeds with Queens (.622) and Coker (.564) also within
striking distance. Rounding out the schools in order were Erskine
.543, Lees-McRae .512, Pfeiffer .507, North Greenville .471, and
Converse at .313 respectively.
