THE FULL MOON

BULLDOG Albemarle Clubs South,
BARKS Trims Kannapolis 51^56
By JIMMY LOWDER
The Full Moon proudly announces that Linda Hatley of the Bull-
dogettes, and Kelly Jones and David Smith of the Bulldogs have been
selected by the coaches as the Athletes of the Month.
Linda, playing her final season for the Bulldogettes, has im
proved greatly at her forward position since last season. In the
six non-conference contests played this season, Linda had a 14.2
scoring average, including a game high 20 points.
Kelly Jones, captain of the Bulldogs, was chosen Athlete of the
Month because of his leadership and performance on the court.
Kelly stands 6' 2" and has played center and forward. Prior to
conference action he was leading the Bulldogs in scoring with an
18.2 average.
David Smith a junior, is the most improved boy on the Bull
dog roster. As a guard, he has executed the fast break exceptionally
well. In non-conference action this season, David had a 13.7 scor
ing average. *****
The Albemarle cagers could possibly repeat as conference champ
ions this season. Even the Piedmont championship is possibly in
the near future for both teams. One fact is for certain. Both the
Bulldogs and Bulldogettes have the ability to be championship teams.
In the six non-conference games played this season with North Pied
mont teams, the Bulldogettes came through with a 5-1 won-lost
record. "Oie Albemarle girls scored a total of 2M points while hold
ing their opponents to 171. The starting six usually consists of Vici^
Mesimer, senior rover; Lynn Calder, senior rover; Brookie Smith,
senior guard; Linda Lucas, junior guard; Linda Hatley, senior for
ward; and Michael Medling, sophomore forward.
The Bulldogs, coached by Ken Frazier, have, in ^e last two
seasons and the first six games of this season, compiled an overall
won-lost mark of 41-8. The Bulldogs have won the South Piedmont
championship for the past two years and the Piedmont Tourney
last year. This season should be no different. The boys have al
ready shown that they have the ability. In non-conference warfare,
the Bulldogs tallied 393 points( an average of 66 points ^»r game)
to the oppositions 284. The starting Bulldog five are Kelly Jones,
senior (definite all-conference choice); Johnny Burleson, senior; J.
W. Lisk, senior; David Smith, junior; and Tommy Smith, junior.
Albemarle plays host to Thomasville tonight in a conference
doe fight set to begin at seven o’clock. Tomorrow night, tte Bull
dogs and Bulldogettes travel to Statesville for a game which was
cancelled earlier this season. The Albemarle-Statesville game will
probably be the game of the year in South Piedmont Conference
action These games are very important to the local cagers. Let s
have a big crowd here tonight and at Statesville tomorrow mght
to cheer them to victory. Don’t forget that we, as well as the play
ers are being graded on our conduct. Let’s show school spirit in
a sportsmanlike manner and bring home the sportsmanship trophy
at die end of the season. “If I should lose, let me stand by the
road and cheer as the winners go by!” —Prayer of a Sportsman.

Although snow cancelled a basketball game several weefe ago,
it provided a field house for the opening game of the season for the
Senior High Abominable Snowmen. Charles Daniel, the leader of
the pack, stated prior to the contest that the team was shaping up
very well. Official results haven’t been received, but rumors are
that the team won a resounding victory. Much is expected of the
pack during the rest of the season.

If you’re a senior boy, making straight “A’s , 2nd haven t been
accepted by a college, the reason may be the emphasis being placed
on higher education — between six and seven feet.
