The Sportscope
By BOB CONWAY
We have seen teams as tall as the present HeBdersonville
aggregation, but never have seen as much beef before as the Bear
rats pack. Looking at all that brawn, It wasn't hard to figure out
why they have given the Mountaineers so much trouble in football
in the past two years.
Apparently, however, the present brand of fast-break basket
ball takes even more stamina tharf football because several of the
Hendersonville giants got fagged cut during the heated action and
had to be taken out of the lineup to recuperate..
In the second half. Hal Hunter, 6-6 center, missed three foul
shots in a row simply because he didn't have the strength left to
hoist the ball up to the basket.
Although he scored only seven points, one of Hendersonville's
top ball handlers and floor men was Don Hcillg, who quarterbacked
the Bearcats to two successive Blue Ridge Conference football
championships. His reported successor in the key T-formation. slot
?Yogi Poteet ? played here Fridav night and although not as heavy
as Heilig, he looks like he might be an able pigskinner.
\ :
Another one of Hendersonville's starting five on the cage
squad in action here was Sam( Galloway, a big but fast man who
was unable to play football last seson because of a leg injury, but
is supposed to be back for the 1956 gridiron campaign.
Waynesville's upset loss to Clyde last Tuesday night cost us an
entire night's sleep, but we1 slept like a baby after the Mountaineers
put the Bearcats over the barrel.
Incidentally, the Gold and Elack basketeers deserve a world
of credit for their win over Hesdersonville and for the fact that
they went all the way without substitutions.
