Rams Edge Out
Mount Olive
Revenge seeking Rams edged
out Mt. Olive, 93-88, in a hard
court squeaker Monday night in
Chadboura In the previous two
meetings between the two
teams, Mt. Olive had snubbed
S.C.C. on both occasions.
Dennis Myers was the first half
fireball for Southeastern, ripping
the nets for 17 points. Mickey
Fortner was trouble for the
vistors as he hit for 12 points,
and Maliston Stanley scored 11
points.
At some stages of the second
half, the Rams lead stretched to
as much as 16 points. Mt. Olive
was never out of it, howevar,
and rallied over and over to close
the margin. The final minutes
were action packed, with victory
hanging on every shot S.C.C.
managed to contain the surging
visitors to steal the victory,
93-88.
Burris and Stanley were the
key Ram players in the second
half. Burris racked up 10 points
and cleared the boards for 15 big
rebounds in the game. Stanley
popped in 14 points in the
second half and a total of 14
rebounds for the night.
Scoring for Southeastern was:
Myers, 26 points; Stanley, 25
points; Fortner, 14 points;
Burris, 12 points; Wyche, 8
points; Andrew, 5 points;
Malpass, 3 points.
Chadbourn football field was
the scene of a gory gridiron
slaughter as powerful Chadbourn
steam-rolled over mighty
Whiteville, 24-6.
Even with such stars as
Hurricane Hazelton, Bugaveda
Geda Hatcher, Dude Daughtery,
Butcher Canady, Hot Dog Foley,
Mighty Myers, Kinky Daughtery,
Rabbit Colvin, and Psychodellic
Sam; the famed Whiteville team
could not muster up enough
power to deal with its awesome
opposition. Chadbourn players
defending their honor ware
Buster Brooks, Sticky Hands
Dehne, Ogre Howarth,
Scrambler Braswell,
Butterfingers Fuller, Bouncer
Hardison, Tricky-Dicky Mason,
and Man Mountain Miller.
Fierce fighting resulted in
many dai^erous injuries (bloody
noses, cut lips), but the players
bravely battled on. As night
drew on, the titanic struggle
continued, with only 16 of the
17 players calling for a halt to
the gam&
When darkness finally forced
the close of the meeting of the
colossals, it was Chadbourn who
emerged as the powerhouse of
Southeastern Community
College.
The football players were
easily recognized the next day at
school jy their paceful
movements and agile gait
strolling in the halls. Naturally
none of these brave young lads
were sore or anything like that
One of them had to be carried
up and down the stairs, but he
was an exception, of course.
The spirit of that game is
matched only by the boy’s
enthusiasm to do it all again.

Rams 91-79

physical science and chemistry

Chapel Hill on December 27-28.
Mr. Martin, who is in his
second year at Southeastern

attended six of the seven annual
science conferences.
The see instructor pointed
out the scope of the conference
by the diversity of subjects and
speakers from meterorite impact
by Jack Hartung of the National
Aeronautics and Space
Administration, to holography
by Emmett N. Leith of the
University of Michigaa
Wednesday night the Rams of
Southeastern upended the Cape
Fear Tech Sea Devils, 91-79. The

Boys Home, was the second
clash between the schools this
year. S.C.C. emerged victorious
over the homestanding Tech
Quintet earlier in the season.
The first half closed out with
S.C.C, on top, 48-44. Maliston
Stanley was the Ram sparkplug
with 11 points and 12 rebounds.

points to lead the first half
scoring, with Dennis Myers
hitting for ten tallies. Jimmy
Burris hustled for 6 rebounds to
back up Stanley in that
department.
After the opening whistle of
the second half, the Sea Devils
began to lose ground to
Southeastern. Myers and Stanley
carried the Rams through each
Tech rally. Myers connected for
12 points and Stanley chalked
up eleven as the hustling cagers
of S.C.C. closed out the Sea
Devils for the final score, 91-79.

charity line, hitting on 78% of
their free throws. They finished
with a 45% average from the
floor. Rams in double figures
were: Stanley, 23 points; Myers,
22 points; and Fortner, 14
points.

By RICK MASON
Lately, the Southeastern cheerleaders have been coming under
an ever increasing amount of criticism. People have pointed out their
lack of spirited performance. The bad part about the whole thing is
that these people are right.
At the first of the season, the S.C.C. cheerleaders seemed to have
plenty of school spirit. What they lacked in skill and experience,
they made up with enthusiasm. However, it appears the novelty of
cheerleading has worn off, and the girls are listless and at times look
like they do not care what happens in the games. Spending most of
their time on the bench, our cheerleaders have become “cheerless”
leaders. '
The Chadbourn junior high cheerleaders should come to S.C.C.
and give our girls a few pointers. These young ladies are the very
picture of school spirit at their ball games. Its a shame that the
Southeastern girls can not find enough energy to give even half as
good a performance.
The fault for this situation, however, does not lie entirely with
our cheerleaders. Perhaps it is the Student Body of S.C.C. who is to
blame for the girls bad showing. It is awful hard for the guls to be
the epitomy of school spirit when the fans are about as lively as a
wet mop. Maybe if the students of Southeastern show a little
enthusiasm of their own, the girls will respond with a worthwhile
rendition of real cheerleading.
If credit should be given where it is due, Coach Nance and his
basketball players should come in for their share. They have come
from a dismal 2-7 record to a 10-10 mark, and show all signs of
improving this.
It was no secret to Ram fans that the basketball team had started
off on the wrong foot. It seemed to have an “every man for himself’
attitude on the court. Coach Nance could not do much with a team
that didn’t believe in team work.
Just before the Christmas Holidays, however, the Rams started
clicking together. The loss of two first string players, which would
damage any team, actually brought the players closer together and
sparked them to more determined efforts. A third starter was lost
(Uncle Sam may forget Camp Swampee but he sure as hell knows
about S.C.C.) and the Rams responded with even more effort and
more team spirit.
So hats off to our team and our coach for making a great
comeback against some mighty big odds.
