more the d’rojans came
witli dampened spirits.
With a 4-3 record at mid-sea-
son, the varsity basketball team
trudged through their remaining
games to wrap up the season
with a 6-7 history. Wins were
scored against Thomasville and
Central Davidson, but the Tro
jans were overpowered by North
Davidson, Lexington, Salisbury,
and Northeast.
It came as a surprise when
North Davidson dumped the
Trojans 39-27, because in the pre
vious game with the Black
Knights at P’erndale they didn’t
offer much resistance to the Tro
jan onslaught.
However, the next game with
Thomasville pint the Trojans back
in good standing as they shifted
into liigh gear and chalked up
a whopjring 83 promts to prut the
oprpronents and 30 proints in the
shadows. Skipr Marsden led the

Grady Presnell
and Kenneth Millikan led room

volleyball. They defeated room
3 by a score of 24-22 in the title
game. Robert MeInnis led room
3 on a comeback that didn’t quite
overtake room 7.
Room 3, after winning the
eighth grade thamprionshipr by
beating room 202, took the
seventh and eighth trade title
over room 113. Sterling Banks
was the top prlayer for room 113.
Room 113 beat room 9 for the
seventh grade champiionship.

shipr game room 7 beat room 108
by a score of 27-20. Stanley
James and Mike Ingram were the
topr polayers for room 108.
Once
home
Falling behind 14 proints in the
first half, they never quite caught
upr and Li«ington marked upr a
51-41 win.
Salisbury is a long way to
travel to be badly beaten. 'When
the bottom fell out in the first
half and Salisbury soared ahead
by 16 points, the Trojans, natur
ally disaprprointed, prushed on and
finished the game with a 52-37
score. Ken Kirkman Irucketed 12
proints and Bill Hilliard followed
with 11.
d’hough Central Davidson had
prlowed through the Trojans on
their home court, they didn’t do
so well at Ferndale. They did
manage to make it a well-earned
victory, however, by keeping
everyone on the edge of liis seat
as the score seesawed hack and
forth. Viettrry came at last for the
Trojans when Bill Hilliard broke
loose and helped to up the score
to 52-48 favor of Ferndale.
Northeast had a chance to
avenge their prrevious loss to the
Trojans when the Rebels played
host hr Ferndale for the final
game of the season. Both teams
fought hard on defense, and
scoring was keprt at a minimum,
with the Rebels leading by a few
proints during every quarter but
the third. Northeast came back,
unfortunately, and crept off with
a late victory on a slim 31-27
score. Mike Ingram led the Fern
dale scoring with 8 points.
