three games this year, once to

game with Robbins, county con
ference leaders.

Roger Verhoeff at center, who
has consistently scored better
than 20 points per game this
year. The team has lost only to
Robbins and Laurinburg.
For the girls. Coach Leonard
will start his ace forwards, Patti
Britt, Lillian Bullock and Anike
Verhoeff, all of whom have scor
