Abstract:

Today people describe the ECU/NCSU football games with as much zeal as fans described ECU's early basketball rivalry with Atlantic Christian (now Barton) University. This competition was heightened by the use of a wooden bucket trophy, called “Bohunk” since 1939. The Bohunk Trophy rivalry ended in the 1960s and it was last won by Atlantic Christian College. In 1996, it sat in a trophy case at Barton University, a once cherished trophy and a reminder of ECU’s sporting past.
