Cokely’s Final Bid
Grimsley’s Dynasty Gomes To Abrupt End
All dynasties must come to
an end and Grimsley’s dyna
sty over 4A boys varsity
basketball in North Carolina
ended at Goodman Gym at
the hands of highly regarded
Chapel Hill, 48-46.
The Whirlies, trying for
their fourth straight bid for
the state finals, finished the
season with a 20-6 record.
Dver the past four years the
Whirlies have compiled a
?2-16 overall record, best in
he state.
The fourth quarter was the:
jack breaker for the Whir-
ies. The Tiger press, al-
hough not causing too many
umovers, drained most of
the energy out of Cokley.
And with 4:46 remaining to
play, the Tigers took their
first lead, 37-36. The lead
from there changed hands
four times until the Tigers
settled into a three-point
lead. The Whirhes, however,
were not through as Cokely
hit a jump shot to cut the
lead to two, 41-46, with only
seconds left.
Weaver then inserted re
serve point guard Danny
Whalen. Whalen drew a
charge from Chapel Hill’s Bo
Weaver. He calmly went to
the free throw line and iced
both free throws to tie the
game at 46-46. Chapel Hill
got the ball in bounds to
Anthony Davis who found
David Glover open for what
appeared to be the game
winning basket, but Cokely
blocked his shot. Glover
wrestled the ball away from
Cokely and made the win
ning basket with one second
left on the clock.
Weaver stated, “I’m con
fident we could have won if
Cokely had been 100 percent
and Austin could have
nlayed. ’ ’
Cokely led the Whirlies
with 12 and pulled down
seven rebounds. Mike Hen
son dished out five assists.
For the game, the Whirlies
shot 61 percent from the “It all came down to who had
floor. As one player put it: the most luck.’’

A select group of area
senior high amd junior high
school students joined two
representatives of The
Greensboro Daily New and
Record at a luncheon meet
ing held at the Weaver
Education Center Thurdsay,
February 26.
Walter Rugaber, execu
tive editor of both city news
papers, and Juanita Weekly,
special projects director for
the newspapers, asked the
students for ideas and their
point of view on how to cover
news about and for the youth
of Greensboro. The purpose
of this ‘ ‘brainstorming’ ’ ses
sion was to help Weekly and
Rugaber firm up their plans
for a new section in the
newspaper called “People
and Places.’’
Among the guests at the
meeting were the school
newspaper editors and stu
dent body presidents along
with Superintendent Dr.
Kenneth Newbold, School
Board Member Mrs. Libby
Baines, Mrs. Betsy Harring
ton, the organizer of Friends
of Public Educations, Mr.
Mike Renn, the director if
Citizenship in the City
School System, and Mrs.
Barbara Ross, Director of
Publications and Public Re
lations.
Most of the ideas dis
cussed seemed to imply a
desire for a section similar to
“For Your Information’’
pages now appearing in both
of the newspapers. Some
students suggested such
items as a “Dear Abby or
Ann’’ column, a political
cartoon, a father-son point of
view column in which they
could discuss almost any
topic, and articles written by
a student reporter.
