Page 4 THE FULL MOON December 1965 BULLDOG BARKS By BILL HARTSELL The Bulldogs are off to what could be the start of another winning basketball season. As has been true in the past several years, Coach Frazier’s chargers have thus far shown promising possibilities of giving local hardwood fans a season to be proud of. Leading the spirited cagers are co-captains, Tommy Smith, a high scoring and able rebounding senior center, and David Smith, a senior guard capable of scoring those needed points during cru cial moments. Finishing out the starting five are three more seniors who are equally capable of carrying their share of the load. Bobby Overcash plays the other guard, and Tom Webb and Bob Townsend fill the forward posts. Since conference rules only allow five players on the court at a time, the Bulldog bench is more than amply filled with ballplayers who have shown their ability in action. Joe Rabon and Bill Tri- vette, seniors, Mark Cain and Mark Mabry, juniors, and Bill Howell, Ricky Russell, Johnny Little, Richard Hathcock, Jimmy Harwood, and Jody Huneycutt, sophomores, are all yearning for chances to see action. With a team such as this to look forward to, no one in the whole school should miss a chance to support the Bulldogs through out the current season. Coach Tyson’s Bulldogettes got off to a rather slow start this season, but with their victory over East Rowan’s girls they proved that all is not lost as far as girl’s basketball is concerned. Lack of experience dealt a deadly blow to the Bulldogettes early in the season but they are beginning to show improvements as play progresses. Conference play does not get underway until after the Christmas holidays, and this should provide time for the girls to ready themselves for their opening SPC battle with South Rowan. m if * * Wade Hatley, a senior, has been elected captain of the 1965-66 Bulldog wrestlers. Other members of Coach Gibbs’ graoplers are Robert Stonestreet, Benny Bowers, Mike Waller, Keith Wolf. Dane Perry, Steve Brown, Joe Frick, David Ritchie, Rip Furr, Fillmore Furr, Glenn Lowder, Doug Brown, Jim Thorpe and Mike Frick. These wrestlers are the hardest working sports participants in the school, yet they get the least student support of any group in the school. This nasty fact does not seem to hinder the spirits of the wrestlers, however, as they plan to better develop their mat skills by attending a wrestling clinic at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the Christmas holidays. Let’s see what we can do to improve student support at the upcoming matches!
