Healthy Jayvee Program
Underway In County
Basketball Program
By Clint Fuller
Basketball is' by far the most
popular sport with Franklin
County fans, young and old alike.
It has long been the sport In
which the greatest number ol
youngsters participated. In the
past few years, more young
Sters have become a part of this
activity through Jayvee pro
grams for boys In the county
schools.
The Jayvee program consists
of eighth and ninth graders
'or the most part, who are'
getting the necessary training
for later years of play, on the
varsity. All schools in the
county league are participating
this year, and -tliere have been
some Interesting games.
Louis burg, apparently, is the
eader, as far as standings go,
f indeed such a thing exists
In the program. Won-lost re
cords for the other teams are
not available, but the flullpups
have won six games and lost
Only one. They have defeated
the other six teams at least
once, except the Frankllnton
Baby Rams.
How the other six teams
tpsom, Bunn, Gold Sand, Ed
ward Best, Youngsville and
Frankllnton, have fared against
each other has not been re
ported.
The top scorers for Louls
"rg for the seven games
Played thus far are: Thomas
Finch, averaging 13.6 points a
game, with a total of 95 points
and Kevin Warren, with an av
erage of 12.6 points per game
and 88 total points. Finch's
highest mark was against
Frankllnton, who, despite the
loss, scored 22 points. War
ren's highest tally was
19 against Gold Sand and 18

others figuring in the- Bull,
pup scoring are: Phillip
ray ( 5.9), 41 points; Bill Taylor
(5.6), 39 points; and Georgt
Fleming (2.7), with 19 points
Other team members are
Charlie Hobgood, Matt Person
Johnny Hodges, Paul Duke Bll
J. Benton and Mike Patterson
Lou Is burg has scored a tola;
of 302 points against their op.
ponents* 224.
Information, taken from the
Lou Is burg score book, shows
that Edward Best has 15 boys
on their squad and Bunn has
; 16. Others show: Youngsville,
i 14rV Epsom has seven listed,
but several others, which the
record book shoWs only by their
' first names, are team mem
bers* Gold Sand has 11 and
Frankilnton has 13.
The jayvee games are played
usually in the afternoons at
the home gym of the school
hosting the varsity game be
tween the two schools that night.
Most start around 3:30 to 4:00
p.m., but some have been sched
uled from time to time for later
starts s Best bet is to check
with your coach for the Jayvee
schedule in your school.

Heavy Schedule
This Week
The Louisburg College Hur
ricanes were a lot hotter than
the weather Saturday night when
they blasted a good Old Domin
ion team by 97-75. The Hur
ricanes have now won 7 of their
last 9 games and pushed their
overall record to 8-9.

game since becoming eligible,
tossed in 18 points to tie for
top scoring honors with Ed

44-39 half-time lead and broke
the game open with 12 minutes
left when they took a 16-point
lead. Louisburg had a com
manding 52-37 advantage off the
boards, with Johnson, Bell and
Gardner doing the heavy work.
The Hurricanes have a busy
week coming up. They meet
East Carolina, who beat them
by 14 points earlier in the
season, at home Tuesday and
meet William and Mary here
Wednesday. On Saturday night
they will meet conference foe
Danville in a homecoming game
here in Louisburg.
?

Quick Thinkers
Seeing a car rolling down the
street without a driver, a man
dashed from the pavement,
clambered into the car, and
slammed on the brakes.
A second man appeared from
the back of the car, puffing,
and complaining, "What's the
big idea?" he asked, "Pm push
ing my car to a gas station,
and you're the third quick think
er I've met In the last two
blocks!"
