U'ACOAMAW-SOrTHPORT
The Waccamaw boy's game
against Southport on Monday
night afforded many thrills to
the spectators by running neck
and neck for winning honors.
This hair-raising playing prevailed
throughout the game, with
first one team and then the
other being only one or two
points ahead. Every player on
each team was aware of the fact
that at the close of each quarter
it was anyone's game, and
fought hard to carry the victory
to Southport or keep it at Waccamaw.
As the whistle blew for
the end of the game, the score
was found to be tied with 21-21.
The suspense continued through
the next three minutes which
was allowed to play off the tie,
with the first team securing the
necessary two points winning the
game. Each team worked hard,
but B. Sellers on the Waccamaw
team was successful in ringing a
field goal, thus keeping the
victory at Waccamaw with a
score of 23-21. Kermit Pruitt
with 13 points led the Waccamaw
team to victory and Lewis
of Southport with 12 points starred
for his team.
The girls teams played first.
The line up for Southport was:
Corlette. G. Arnold, and Lewis
playing forward, and D. Hickman,
Smith and J. Arnold playing
guard. Miss Lewis proved
herself the star fcrward by making
five goals from the free
throw line and two goals from
the floor.
The line up for Waccamaw
was: M. Brady, V. Sellers, and
0. Norris playing forward, and
A. Bennett, M. F. Dodson, and
(3. Hewett playing guard. Brady
was the star forward for Waccamaw.
She made two goals
from the free throw line and
eleven goals from the floor. Waccamaw's
second team played
part of the first quarter. The
members of this team are: O.
Watts, H. Norris, L. Bennett, M.
Mintz, E. Gray and M. Long.
The players had a large audience
that seemed to thoroughly
enjoy the game. Both teams were
jood sports throughout the entire
game. The final scores were:
Southport 13, Waccamaw 47.
This was the last home game
the Waccamaw players will have
in the county series of games this
fear.
