Girls’ Basketball Team Has 4-0 Mark; Beat Rebels Twice Dee Dee Miss Vickey Elliott’s Femdale Junior High Girls’ Basketball Team ended their four game season with the title of “undefeated.” The start ing offensive, Peggy Hart, Pam Marion, and Candy Stell racked up a total of 104 points. Britt Armfield, Joan Asbury, and Dee Dee Parham held the fierce on-slaught of the opponents with a crippling defense. Substitutes assisting the ^ first team were forward, Patsy Winfrey, and guards, Lauia Lentz, Susan Hendrix, and Phyllis McDowell. Playing both positions when need ed were Pat Thorburn and Kitty Woodruff. The first game, played against Miss Hester’s Senior High team, was filled with excitement both on the part of the players and specta tors. The last quarter ended with a buzz of a horn and a final score of 22-21 in favor of Ferndale Junior High. Leading the list of scorers was Peggy Hart with ten points, fol- Stell both with six. Their second win was again over Senior High, but not so easily obtained. The fighting teams went through two overtimes. Throughout the entire game the tension ap peared on the faces of both teams. At the end of the game the score was 24-24. This led to overtime. Senior high hit their first shot, and in the last few seconds Fem dale dropped one in, leaving the score 26-26. Sudden death was call ed. The ball was kept on our side Parham of the line for most of the time and then Peggy Hart went in for a lay up, making the final score 28-26. Again Peggy Hart scored highest with 17 points; Candy Stell follow ed with 8 and Pam Marion with 3. Britt Armfield and Dee Dee Parham fouled out in the last two minutes of the game. Ferndale’s next victim was North east Junior High. The old time rivals put up quite a fight until the last quarter and then Fern- dale took over. The team left North east standing still while they gain ed a steadily growing lead. The 12 point lead was obvious when the game ended 35-23. Peggy Hart with 16 points was at the top of the list for points followed by Candy Stell with 12 and Pam Marion with seven. But Northeast couldn’t stand for the win and so Femdale was chal lenged again. The Rebels put up quite a battle but just didn’t add up to Femd-ale’s strength. Femdale took the honors 22-19, with Candy Stell high scorer with 11 points, Peggy Hart with nine, and Pam Marion with two. Miss Elliott decided to start the basketball team a week before the first game which gave the girls lit tle time to practice and prepare. They met on that Saturday before the first game and every day after school till 5:30. Miss Elliott seem ed proud of her girls and plans to continue the idea of a girls’ basket ball team in future years. 9th Graders End With 8-3 Record Chip Crissman When the 1961-62 basketball sea son came to an end, the Ferndale Trojans had collected an eight and three won-lost record by beating Thomasville, Lexington, and North east twice, and Reidsville, Central Davidson, and Ragsdale once. In Femdale’s seventh start of the basketball season, they were closely defeated by the fighting Reidsville team which won by a mere two points, 39 to 37. At the end of the first quarter, the score was six to four in favor of Reids ville and at the half it was 16 to 12 with Reidsville still on top. How ever, in the second half Femdale outscored Reidsville, 25 to 23, but this was not enough to catch the opposition. In this game Femdale was led by Gary Embler who collected 12 points and Bamy Cook who had 11 points. Ferndale’s nekt game was with Lexington at Lexington. This was to have been played about a month earlier, but it was postponed be cause of snow. The game was easily won by Ferndale, 55 to 30. Ferndale led throughout the game from the first quarter until the end of the game in which everybody on the team played. Ferndale had two players in dou ble figures, Eddie Dyer with 14 and Bill Southerland with 13. In the Trojan’s next game, they traveled to Jamestown to play the Ragsdale High School Junior Varsity. The Ragsdale team was too much for Femdale’s overcoming them, 49 to 35. The fact that Rags dale had more height and that Fem dale’s cagers were not making their shots with their usual consistency were important factors in Fem dale’s loss. Barry Cook with ten points and Eddie Dyer with eight points led the Trojans, followed by Gary Embler with six and Bill Southerland and James Kelly who had four each. Femdale’s final game of the sea son was with the Northeast Rebels, who were barely edged out in the last quarter by Femdale, 44 to 41. Northeast jumped to the lead in the first half, leading by nine points at the half, 27 to 18. However, in the second half, Femdale really started playing and caught fire, moving to a three point deficit at the end of the third quarter, 36 to 33. The last quarter was a hot bat tle for the lead which switched at least four times before Ferndale went ahead to stay at 42 to 41 on a shot by Bill Southerland with 24 seconds left. The final two points for insurance were added by John Koontz with two clutch foul shots. Basketball Totals For Whole Season Chip Crissman Games Total Played Points Av.

Although 205 walloped 118 by the score of 46-15, the score might have been closer if all of 118’s players had been present. Nothing can be taken away from 205’s beautiful teamwork, though. The spiking of Ken Rhyne plus the leadership of Bill Bradner aided the Bombers drive to victory. Paul Kindley and James Hurley held their make shift team together well for the losing cause. Seventh and Eighth 7th and 8th Graders Have 3-6 Record Chip Crissman For the seventh and eighth grade team of Ferndale, this season did not end as well as expected. After the first six games, their record was three and three. However, the seventh and eighth gradeers went cold after this, losing their last three games bringing their record to its present won three and lost six. The seventh and eighth gradea-s of Femdale were defeated in their seventh game of the season by rival Northeast, 29 to 20. Femdale took a beating in this game being outscored in every quarter except the last. In this game Femdale only had three scorers. Bill Bradner with 14, Steve McDowell with four, and Rickey Burge with two points. By out-scoring Femdale, seven to one, in the second quarter of the next game, Jamestown took the lead and beat Femdale, 35 to 30. Leading eleven to nine after the first quarter, Femdale scored only one point in the second quarter, handing the lead to Jamestown until the end. Bill Bradner was also the high scorer in this game with 10 points, followed by Ken Rhyne with seven and Rickey Burge with six. The next game was played with Northeast again and this game was also won by Northeast, 35 to 29. Northeast had command of the game all the way after the first quarter. The game was extremely rough with a lot of fouling by both teams. Once again Bill Bradner was the top scorer with nine points, fol lowed by Ken Rhyne with seven points, and Mac Younts with five points. The seventh graders of 109 prov ed to be just another stepping-stone for the Bombers of 205. Although the seventh graders played hard and well, they did not have the class of their eighth-gp'ade elders, the final score being 40-28. Even though their team lost, Greg Nicholson, Chuck Cook, and Gary Tucker each played a good game. Ken Rhyne, Bill Bradner, Tom Foscue, and Steve Byerly played well for the Bombers. Ninth Grade The ninth grade championship was decided this year between rooms 204 and 118, but 118 took an early lead and wouldn’t give it up. 204 had a late surge but it wasn’t enough to overcome the lead of 118. Leading 118 were Paul Kindley, Mike Tucker, and James Hurley. For 204, Lance Manors, Tony Gibson and Steve Brumfield turned in commendable perfo'rm- ances. Eighth Grade Another victim of 205’s machine was 104, who was defeated by Beamon’s Bombers, by the score of 42-21. 104 put up a valiant effort to overcome 205 but could not compete with the strong defensive and offensive depth of the Bombers. Leading 104 in their almost-suc- cessful drive to victory were “Hoppy” Whitaker, Ricky Burge, and Mike Hepler. The Bomber’s outstanding players were Tom Foscue, Ken Rhyne, Bill Bradner, and Steve Byerly. Seventh Grade 109 defeated 112 for the seventh grade championship with Greg Nicholson, Chuck Cook, Gary Tucker leading the way with a brilliant dis play of serving and teamwork. Although the margin was 36-21, the game was closer than the 15 point spread. 112 threatned to take the lead several times but 109 fought back to subdue them.
