Hi
Well, the basketball season is over, and we must say that it
has been memorable. The Jayvees were simply fantastic, the
girl’s team was - well, interesting, and what more can be said
about that super Varsity team? One of the main reasons for the
success of the RMSH basketball program this year has got to be
the great vocal support the fans have given to their team this
year. Yes, the Gryphons are what it is, and the fan’s mouths are
certainly where it’s at.
Did you recognize that famous nose at a recent Gryphon-
Northern Nash basketball game? That distinctive appendage
belonged to the face of none other than Dean Smith, head
basketball coach of the University of North Carolina. Coach
Smith and his assistant, Eddie Folger, were here to get a look at
the fantastic Phil Ford, but came away impressed with the whole
team as well. “The Gryphons have had a great year,” com
mented Eddie Folger, “and every member of the team should be
complimented.”
Dean Smith, interviewed by one very excited Gryphon sports
reporter, was very effusive in his praise of Coach Hicks, Phil
Ford, and the whole team. “I’m very impressed with this team,”
offered Coach Smith. “They play a very good defense. They’re a
super team with great morde, and Coach Hicks has done a great
job,”
William Farmer, 1973 graduate of RMSH is student manager
for the freshman basketball team at Carolina. That’s a pretty big
distinction. RMSH grads seem to make it big anywhere they go.
One day at basketball practice, John Fish came wheeling
through the doors of the gym on his bike. He rode down the side of
the gym, and when he got to the dressing room, someone opened
the door for him. John just cruised righfin. No one even
took a second look at him Weird.
