After dropping their opening game to Asheville School, they won their next 23 games before losing to Cullowhee. They won the regular season Appalachian Conference and the tournament. They feel that they should have won Tuesday, but just couldn’t get the ball to drop for them. They have been so sensational this year that we expect every shot to fall and it just doesn’t work that way all the time. They played hard Tuesday night and gave it all they had. A disappointment, but the players and Coach Mike Pearson have had an outstanding season. The school and the community are proud of them. “The Chalk Garden” opens tonight at 8:30 at the Fine Arts Center.

Cunning ham had hit the basket earlier to put the Tigers in front 50-49. It was that kind of game. Both teams led during the game and the momentum went one way and then another. The first quarter was 13-13, Cullowhee led 30-28 at half and Tryon led 40-38 at the end of the third quarter. The regulation game ended 48-48 as Tryon killed the clock the final two minutes and then Cunning ham just missed a shot and Warfield Kirkendoll followed and it too failed to drop.
