The courageous Cougars of
WCC, led by Tommy Guy with 23
points and 20 rebounds, captured
their seventh victory by beat
ing Surry Community College by
a score of 88-79.
The first half of the game saw
the coldest shooting by WCC this
year. The Cougars managed to
get off 22 shots, but only con
nected with 8, for a dishearten
ing 36%. This was caused by a
tight Surry man-to-man defense.
The Cougars never led in the
first half. With 16;00 to go, they
fell back, 5-7. In six minutes the
Cougars were behind 8-15and
couldn’t close the gap until three
minutes to go in the half. They
caught the tough Surry team off
guard and closed the gap to
four points. But Surry got hot
again and left the court with a
nine point, 24-33, spread.
A defensive switch in the se
cond half got the WCC team roll
ing and wintin four minutes, the
Cougars closed the gap to five
points. The Cougars, took the lead
with 12;42 to go and kept it
until 7;54 to go when SCC tied
it 49-49. The Cougars managed to
keep up with the Surry team and
was sure they had the game sewed
up with the score 61-59 with 25
seconds to go. But Surry scored
and WCC brought the ball down the
court. George Howard was fouled
with two seconds to go. The
game was all over with,we
thought! George had a one-and-
one situation, but missed the first
shot. The ballgame was thereby
carried into its first overtime.
The tap went to Surry. They
brought the ball down the court
and scored. The Cougars traded
baskets with them until 32 se
conds were left-a tie score at
67-67 showed on the scoreboard!
Ronnie Triplette came up to the
line with a bonus situation but
missed his first shot. Surry got
the ball and missed. Howard
grabbed the rebound, ran to the
top of the key for a lay up,
missed, but the ball was tapped
in by Charles Lawson with six
seconds left. Again the game
seemed to be over, but a Surry
man scored with only one se
cond to go and the game was car-

and Surry scored one point on the
foul. Red Lawson drove for a
layup with one second to go,
to give the Cougars a fine and
well earned 88-79 victory.
Although the Cougars hit only
36% of their field goals in the
first half, they made up for it in
the second half by hitting 57% and
hitting 50% and 80% in the first
and second overtimes respect
ively.
Charles Lawson led the Cou
gars offensively with 27 points
and five rebounds. But the out
standing defensive player was
Tommy Guy grabbing a total of
20 rebounds and scoring 23

George Howard, although hav
ing a bad night at the foul line,
