COACH'S COI'If-.!ENTS
"It appears from the re
sults of games that Bailey
has played with neighbor
ing counties, the calibre
^3-sketball in Nash coun
ty seems is of much better
quality.
Throughout the season
the desire to win was very
keen by the teams in our
area.
"An appropriate trophy
for the team shovvang the
best sportsmanship for the
season might have helped
improve the general atti
tude in some cases,
"I wish to express my
appreciation to all the
people in the school and
community who helped to
make the season a success.
It has been a pleasure to
■vvork with the players v/ho
underwent a long and gruel
ing season*"
LCB3ES A>!D PROSPECTS
F or the ne:ct season at
Eailey the prospect for
stronger teams is e^cpected*
The boys' team loses three
seniors, Ovven Strickland,
Gene Finch, and Percy Mur
ray ur., who will be hard
to replace. However, a
team having considerable
varsity ejqoerience vdll be
ready to start. The larg
est problem vvlll be keep
ing an adequate supply of
replacements.
J.Iary Lou Lamm is the only
loss for the girls. "liany
of the ninth graders have
proved themselves capable
players and will continue
to improve. Because of the
lack of any tall players,
the problem will be the
elimination of errors and
the further development of
a tj^e of basketball ivhich
relies on speed," is the
opinion ejqpressed by Coach
L. E. Pittman.
