By A1 Geremonte Citizen-Times Sports Writer Coach Cecil Mashburn, a scholarly-looking fellow who stays in character, at least, 85 per cent of the time when he is overseeing his Andrews High School basketball team In action a<fcnltted "concern" during the hectic District 8 Class A championship game in Erwin Friday night. Held at bay for three per iods, the rangy Andrews Wild cats came through in the clutch to beat a game Mars Hill quintet 62-52, and thus quali fy for the state tournament in Durham beginning Wed nesday. Asked whether he had been doubtful of the outcome a gainst the Madison County team, Mashburn said: "Of course, I was concern ed. I don't mean to say that the boys were shook up or anything like that. In fact, they were pretty calm. But under the boards we didn't get the shots, and that be came a source of concern for M me. Mashburn lauded the Mars Hill team as a whole and sing led out Steve Davis, the dim inutive guard, whose uncanny set-shot shooting netted 18 points and kept Mars Hill in the game during the first half. "I think they had a hard playing club," Mashburn said. "The odd part of it was that when we scouted Mars Hill, we didn't see much of Davis. He was a surprise to us. His accuracy reminded me of little Don Morris of Murphy, who is also a good shot from the outside. The victory over Mars Hill was Andrews 27th without de feat. Reflecting on the cam paign, Mashburn pointed to Murphy and Mars Hill as the Wildcats' toughest foes. "Of course," Mashburn said, "Murphy always give us ? rough time. In one of our games during the regular sea son, we beet Murphy In the last ten seconds of the second overtime, 70-67. That's the night Jerry Thompson came off the bench and saved the game for us. Mars Hill was tough until the last two minu tes of the game when we began to fast break. Andrews, a team which sports five starters averaging In double figures, is a running aggregation which hasn't had to employ ball control tactics. Asked whether he had contem plated using such a tactic against Mars Hill, Mashburn answered: "Up to this point, we haven't had to play control ball. We have control patterns in our plays and we constantly work on them. But during the past . year , we've always been either out front or in command of the game." Mashburn pointed out that Andrews had been lucky through the season, because "if one boy had an off night, another took up the slack." , "For example" Mashburn - said, "we were depending upon ij Tommy Brooks the other night - against Mars Hill. But he was 1 blocked on several under- the i basket attempts and it knocked ? him off form. But John Ger nert took up the slack and > scored 20 points." j Ger nert, 6-feet-3 and Terry ? I Winfrey, a back court play- ; maker, are hitting at a 13- j point clip, while Larry - Owenby, 6-feet-3, is hitting ? 12. Brooks is averaging Is f points per game, and Butch Sursavage, 6-feet-4 and a j member of the Citizen-Times' j 1964 All -Scholastic, is lead- I ing the club with a 17-point ^ average. \ Mashburn is proud of his v Smoky Mountain champions. * "They've been a real nice I bunch of boys," he said. Feed Grain Program Open i To Cherokee Co. Farmers^ By Bass Hyatt MURPHY - The government will pay direct payments to each farmer that participates in the Feed Grain program. March 27 is the deadline to sign up. If the farmer participates, he agrees to leave his corn land idle or to sow it in a soil conserving crop. He is not to harvest anything from this land from April 1 until October L Cattle producers can graze diverted acreage after Oct ober L If the land is seeded in fescue and left all summer to accumulate it will have a tremendous amount of forage on it by October. This addi tional supplementary pasture could extend the grazing sea son for many cattle growers, f Many farms are to small to / justify the operator owning a / complete line of corn farming / equipment. These farmers ( will normally receive a great- j er net return by participating in the Feed Grain program than by leasing their land or by having it worked by custom operators. The Feed Grain program is an answer to problems of the farmer who is physically un able to tend corn. Grasses and legumes will build the soil while land tended to corn will decrease in fertility and could erode. For details about the Feed Grain program, come by the Cherokee County ASCS office.
