THURSDAY, MARCH 1, , Page 10 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER SPORT HAPPENINGS By HYATT J. D. HYATT Hello, Sport Fans ! The Blue Ridge Basketball tourna ment held at Canton last week-end marked the end of the cage season. While basketball has never been as popular as some other sports have, I know that it's little band of faithful followers were sorry to see the curtain fall on such a good season. Ooach Weatherby says that while the local teams did not set any records they have had a very enjoyable season. And tho he still wouldn't commit himself on the future of basketball here in our town, this corner is afraid that next year inter-scholastic basketball will have been cut in half or abolished. For, as Coach Weatherby says, "The war is the referee of all athletic events and their future." This season basketball fans have seen the local boys' team battle their way through 17 hardwood engage ments. After doing a little arithemetic we find that they have come out of the season 1 up. Having lost only 8 and won 9 of their engagements. The local boys have hit the basket 474 times to their opponents 404 and have made an average of 28 points a game as their opposition got 23.8 a tilt. Considering the tough teams the boys have been up against that is not bad at all! So far Coach Weatherby knows for sure that four names will be crossed off the boys' roll call next year due to graduation. The boys are Bruce Jaynes who plays center, Clifton Bryson, Wallace Burnette, and Richard Inman, guard. Ordinarily two regulars out of the line up would hurt, but there seems to be some excellent material coming up out of the lower grades. The girls finished the season in better shape than the boys, by winning 9, tieing 1 and losing 7 of their tilts. They have made a total of 429 points to their opponents 366 points Which all averages 25 points a game to the opposition's 21 points a game. Although not going so far as to say how many he is certain will be absent next roll call Coach gave the following as seniors: Virginia McEIroy, Helen Trout, Dorothy Milner, Elene Thompson. The girls closed the season for the locals very appropri ately, we think, by taking second place in the Blue Ridge tournament and by having three of their number named to the all-tourney teams. First on the honor roll is Helen Trout, guard, who was named to the all-tourney 1st team. McEIroy and Sheehan were also put on the 2nd all-tourney team. Honor roll for the boys include Oliver Yount, forward who made the all-tourney 1st, and Stanley Henry who made the 2nd team. Our hats are off to Coach Poindexter and his swell teams for successfully defending their championships. This is the boys' third year and the girls' second as Blue Ridge champions. Another team that made the grade was the Swannanoa boys who captured second place in the boys' division of the tournament. All of this means, sport fans, that however sad the parting we must ring down the curtain until next season! So long . . . .
