THE GRIER SCRIPT
PAGE 3
THE LITTLE MUSTANG’S
DOWN GRIER’S JUNIOR
VARSITY
The game opened with a
controlled tap by Wray. Erom
here on, Wray began to capitalize
and opened the game in their
favor.
In the first half the score re
mained close. At one time Grier
led. At the end of the half, the
score still close, and Grier held a
two point lead. In the second half,
the Junior Varsity’s poor rebound
ing began to show. In the third
quarter, the Wray Junior Varsity’s
big center began to run up the
score. In the fourth quarter the
Junior Varsity fought back and
began to close in on Wray’s score.
The game ended with the Grier
Junior Varsity close behind Wray,
who had a thirty-two to twenty-
seven win.
In the game, Randy Queen
was high scorer with nine points.
Skip Berryman and Wynn Gibbs
both helped with five each. Then
came Glenn Harris with four.
Michael Davis and Mike Tate with
two. We hope the Junior Varsity
will capitalize on all the mistakes
made and be a proud and victorious
team for Grier.
KNIGHTS TRAMPLED BY
MUSTANGS
It seems that Grier’s basketball
team just didn’t have what it takes
to beat Wray. Every play attempted
by the Knights seemingly resulted
in a bad pass, helping Wray to
score a basket.
The game started out bad for
Grier and ended that way. Wray
jmped out to an early lead and
ept it throughout the entire game.
Grier played poorly the first half,
ending it with a score of twenty-
two to six. The Knights played
better the second half, but not
good enough.
The game ended thirty-nine to
SPORTS EDITORIAL
Both of Grier’s Basketball teams
have gotten off to a slow start.
Our first opponent, Wray, downed
both teams. Grier’s Junior Varsity
lost thirty-nine to twenty-five
while the Varsity was trampled
thirty-nine to twenty-two. The
varsity was off in every aspect
rebounding. Grier pulled down
thirty-two rebounds while Wray
pulled down twenty-eight. There
were four main faults; Getting
into position, shooting from both
the floor and the foul line, passing,
and defense. What else is there?
From the floor, Grier hit six
out of forty-one shots (14.6%),
donated the ball twenty-eight times
to their opponents, and hit 31%
of their free throws, (eight out of
twenty-five). It seems the only
thing done right was getting
dressed! Grier’s defense was torn
apart. Fast breaks down the lane
run up high scores for the
opponents. We hope Grier will
smooth out all the rough edges
and bring back the fighting spirit
of our Grier football team.
This year’s basketball team
consists of Hugh Giles, Danny
Page, Toby Cole, Tommy Watson,
Kim Ledford, Mike Harris, Joe
Rice, Charlie Owens, Todd
Stebbins, Alfred Current, Robbie
Grier, Mike Henderson, and Steve
Farish. Our high scorer for that
game was Mike Worsham, who has
moved.
We are looking for the rest of
our game to be victories, so,
let’s go Knights!!
twenty-two, Wray gaining the
victory. Grier’s high scorer was
Mike Worsham with six points.
Following were Watson and Owens
each with four, Farish with three.
Page with two, and Ledford, Giles
and Rice with one each.
We hope Grier will do better
during the season, and beat Wray
when we meet them at home.
VARSITY PLAYERS
FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADE
NEWS
It seems as though the fifth
and sixth graders also “got” into
the spirit of Election 68. Serving
as President from Mrs. Foote’s
room is Shawn Queen, and as
Secretary and Treasurer, Nathan
Connor. The homeroom officers
from Mrs. Qwen’s room are.
President, Jenny Henderson, and
Secretary and Treasurer, Margo
Phaegin. Serving as homeroom
officers from Mrs. Best’s room are.
President, Dolph Sumner, Vice
President, Vicki Gray, Secretary,
David Doster, and Treasurer,
Minnilue Reed.
Recently the fifth and sixth
graders attended the oriental opera
“Madame Butterfly.” Mrs. Owen’s
room especially enjoyed the
oriental opera. A week before, the
students dined at an oriental
restaurant in Charlotte and ate
with chop sticks!
Both the Blowing and “Indian
Lore” assemblies were described
by the students as Groovey.
We can all recall the fifth and
sixth graders likes in school as
recess, lunch, substitutes, and three
o’clock! All the students are look
ing toward Junior High in favor of
dances, as well as cheerleading,
football, Gardner Park boys, Mr.
Connor, and no other than Mr.
Keener!
The students describe their
studies humorously as a “bunch of
junk,” but what seriously is the
study of various foreign countries,
early and a “whole bunch” of
spelling words.
Fashion is really “in” to the
fifth and sixth graders, “In” is
described as long stylish boots,
baby doll shoes, fur coats, short
skirts, and long hair-on both girls
and boys.
The students have interesting
and somewhat odd hobbies such
as, collecting rubber bands, playing
cards, sinking model ships in the
sink, girls, eating, and dancing. So,
folks, here is our future Junior
High!

SPIRIT DAY
On Thursday, December
twelfth, the cheerleaders sponsored
“Spirit Day”. It consisted of “pep
pills” and “spirit juice”. The
purpose was to boost the spirit of
the team as well as the spirit of
the students. Although the spirit
at the game was very peppy, the
Knights faced defeat in their first
game against the Wray Mustangs.
