GREENSBORO - Every time George McClain has stepped on the playing floor at the Greensboro Coliseum, good things have happened.

Monday evening, McClain and several others were honored as former MVPs of the N.C. Coaches Association East-West All-Star Men's Basketball Game.

In July of 1982, McClain helped the East claim victory over the West and he was named the game's MVP.

Four months earlier, the floor was good to McClain, too. He helped the Gryphons beat Chapel Hill to grab the 1982 NCHSAA 4-A State Championship.
