Coker Lands Top Spot in CVAC Preseason Poll

Thomasville, NC-  Coker College, last year's Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference Tournament runner-up, tops the 2004 preseason poll as voted on by conference coaches.  Coker finished second in both the CVAC Tournament and the NCAA Atlantic Regional last year, only one stroke away from a trip to the NCAA National Championships.  The Cobras lost three members of last year's squad but senior Chad Parramore returns to guide a young team.  In the fall, the group didn't miss a beat from last season's strong finish, winning three tournaments and finishing third in another.  Freshmen Louis-Pierre Godin, Blaine Rogers, and Brad Wissmueller led the team in scoring average in the fall and help form what may be a deeper team than last year.
