Haywood Evans Scoring Leader Haywood Evans, 6-0 Blackbird forward, following in the same pattern he set last year, is now leading the Eastern AAA Confer ence in scoring. Evans played teiTific ball as a 5-11 sophomore last year and lead the AAA Conference with 255 points in 12 games. His average for the season was 21.3 points. Not far behind was Raleigh’s 6-6 center Bruce Headley. Hoadley scored 251 tallies which gave him an average of 20.9 for the sea son. Not only is Evans an all-around athlete but he is also an all-around position player. He has seen action in the guard slot out front, in the keyhole spot in the middle, and in his foward position on the side, fonward. Although his athletic ability seems to be more outstanding on the hardwood, it is found that he plays both golf and baseball well. Haywood is shy but this doesn’t keep him from being friendly and well liked by all. He is also out standing in all his undertakings but modest about them. Jimmy Parker, Haywood Evans, Bob Moore, Ed Dunn, and Bobby Joe Ayers go over the fine points of a play for the > Wilmington game here tonight. Local Cagers Host To Cats In Final Conference Game Birds and Cats, featuring scor ing stars Haywood Evans and Ro man Gabriel, will battle on the Extra Points 1 by Alvin Daughtridge After a fairly successful season our hoopsters look forward to en tering the State AAA Tournament. Even if Wilmington beats the birds tonight, the Black and Gold cag ers will still be going to Greens boro, the site of tlie tournament when February 25 arrives. Wilmington offers a challenge to the Birds. Al though they burned the Blackbirds’ feathers when they beat them 53-37 Jan uary 24, all players are optimistic about the game tonight. Haywood Evans seems to b>e a sure pick for ihe conference team this year. He is the leading home and Eastern AAA scorer. It has been a toss up bettween Hajiwood Daughtridge Oil Co. “Be Sure With Pure” Fuel Oils - Gasoline - Motor Oil and Wilmington’s Roman Gabriel over first and second places. With spring so near, eyes turn to tennis. All but one of last year’s team will be returning. Six most likely starters this year are Blarnie Tanner, Reed Nelson, Ed Dunn (all jiuiiors) and Bussell Clack, Bob Carr and Roger Sellers (semi- ors). This should make RMSHS one of the top tennis teams. Baseball practice will start March 3.
