Norlina Boys Bombard Jackets
By DON STTTH
Between Jan. 25 and Feb. 11
Nqrlina basketball coach Tom
Evans found ample time to put
together a game plan that
would take Warrenton's Yellow
Jackets by surprise and gain
revenge for a 68-65 loss to John
Graham earlier in the season.
Evans' plans worked well
Friday night, resulting in a
79-61 defeat for the Jackets
before a Warrenton home
crowd.
Prior to the Blue Waves
overwhelming win in the
nightcap the Lady Jackets
were having a field day against
the Norlina girls team. Coach
Ben Howard's lassie team tied a
school record of 18-1—set in
1964—with a 37-25 win over the
visitors.
Girls Game
The Lady Jackets, on the
verge of their best season ever,
led from the opening jump.
With their victory the Lady
Jackets finished conference
play undefeated with a 8-0
mark. Norlina grabbed fourth
place in Tar River standings
after losing their first three
conference games.
Edith Rodwell and Lorraine
Williams have been the key
ball players from John Graham
for most of the season and most
recently Rodwell has been a big
threat to conference teams. In
the game against Norlina she
paced John Graham with 13
points. Williams netted 12 and
Janet Bell and Michele Carroll
each had six. Irene Durham led
Norlina with 13 points.
Last season the Lady Jackets
captured the tourney crown
and advanced to a round of
district playoffs. This season
the top four seeded teams will
play in the district playoffs.
Teams from the Tar River
Conference that will participate
in the district games will be
John Graham (Warrenton),
Bunn. Franklinton and Norlina.
Boys Game
"This is the first time that a
team has scored 44 points on us
at halftime" was a cpmment
given bv John Graham Coach
James Howell before his team
went to the dressing room for
the halftime break, trailing
44 M4.
From the tipoff, Norlina took
the Jackets straight to the
hoop. James Green, Norlina's
leading scorer and key player,
led his team to its overwhelm
ing victory of the conference
leader.
Green, one of the most
versatile players in the confer
ence. used his multitude of
basketball talents against his
cross county rival. On defense,
he was the game's leading
rebounder. Th« pop of the ball,
after Green hauled in a
rebound, brought cheers from
the Norlina side of the gym. On
offense, he marched his squad
down court, releasing the ball
for a pass or shot from the top
of the key.
The powerful Blue Wave
attack was far too much for the
league's top-seeded team who
had not too long ago handed the
Waves a 68-65 defeat.
Norlina's bench proved to be
a sizable factor in their win.
Midway through the first
quarter the second team came
in and was just as strong as the
first team. The starting five for
Norlina scored in double
figures: James Green (18),
Michael Yancey and Shelton
Hunter (15). and David
ftowlette, one of the smallest
forwards in the conference, hit
10 points. John Graham's
Douglass Stiff. Thomas (Tutt)
Taylor and Hardy Powell paced
the Jackets with 21. 15 and 10
points, respectively.

Fitting Fertilizer To
Field Needs Cuts Cost
On$ of the places tobacco
growers can cut costs in 1977 is
on their expenditure for
fertilizer. Buying the proper
ratio grade for a particular field
ran be a money saver.
North Carolina State Uni
versity extension tobacco
specialists suggest that a soil
analysis is the first step in
developing a fertilizer program.
Among other things, this test
will determine the need for
time and give the phosphorus
level.
The phosphorus level will
determine which complete
fertilizer ratio to use. For many
fields with medium or high
phosphorus levels, a 1:1:3 ratio
grade should be used, the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service
specialists point out. This ratio
grade will probably cost about
15 per cent less than a 1:2:3
ratio and considerably less than
a 1:3:3 ratio.
Generally, the higher ana
lysis grades such as a 612 18 (6
pounds nitrogen. 12 pounds
phosphorus. 18 pounds potas
sium) or 8-16-24 will cost less
per acre than the lower analysis
grades such as a 4-8-12.
Also, the higher analysis
grades cost less to handle and
distribute.
The nutrients can usually be
supplied at the lowest cost by
using enough fertilizer to
supply 35 to 40 pounds of
nitrogen. This quantity of
complete fertilizer wili*usually
supply all the needed phos
phorus and potassium. Extra
nitrogen can be applied as a
side-dressing to bring the total
nitrogen to the desired level.
For "average" conditions,
total nutrients needed will be
about 60 to 75 pounds of
nitrogen. 40 pounds of
phosphorus and 100 pounds of
potassium.
If leaching occurs, additional
nitrogen and possibly potas
sium will be needed.
The cost of such a fertilizer
program will vary consider
ably. depending on sources of
materials, but a well planned
program shouldn't cost more
than around $75 per acre.
"Truly absurd is the man who
never changes."
