Season
Our basketball teams have put
their attractive uniforms in the
moth balls until next season as
a round of tournaments climax
ed the 1947-48 schedule.
The girls completed the sea
son with eight wins against six
defeats. In their final two games
of the season, they whipped
Haw Creek 34-11, but succumb
ed to Martel in the Henderson
ville tournament, 24-15. In the
W. N. C. League standings,
Ecusta tied Canton for second
place with 3 wins and 3 de
feats. Martel won the league
title.
Running into tough luck
throughout the season, the boys
won four and lost 12, five of
the defeats being decided by a
margin of six points or less. In
their final home game, the men
defeated Southern Dairies 59-52
and they won their first game in
the Asheville Y tournament 47-
31 from Central Y. In the sec
ond tournament appearance,
however, Woodfin defeated us
48-45. Hugh Sizemore was
chosen on the all-tournament
second team and Speedy Merrell
was the choice for the third
team.
