Sideline Tips
By RANDY BURTON
A free throw is an unhindered
shot at the goal given to a fouled
player in a basketball game. He
shoots from behind a foul line
on the court about 15 feet from
the goal. This shot counts only
one point. There are several dif
ferent fouls, which have varying
numbers of free throws. When a
player holds, pushes, charges into
or trips an opponent, he commits
a personal foul. The fouled player
then is awarded one free throw
unless he is in the act of shooting.
When this occurs two shots are
received if the player didn’t make
the shot. During our games a
team that commits more than five
fouls in a half give their op
ponents a one and one situtation
for the remainder of that half.
After a player has commited five
fouls he must leave the game.
Free throws, or foul shots, are
usually very important as was il
lustrated in the tournament for the
WNCHSAA championship.
This year however, the Bulldogs
are constantly practicing on these
foul shots and keeping a chart of
their success. This is usually
done everyday. Mr. Tyson and
Mr. Frazier both agree on the im
portance of foul shots. They said
that many surveys have been
made concerning this field. These
figures show that the team which
fouls the least usually is a winner.
Also a team that makes most of
its shots usually is a winning one.
Let’s continue to encourage our
players in many ways to practice
and s-i-n-k it!
North Rowan boys.
Score at halftime was 39-12 in

From the floor, the Bulldogs hit

I went to the first wrestling
match of the season December 6.
Our wrestling team was playing
Ragsdale; we won 38-18. The boys
were great.
Something was missing though.
The opposing team was there, the
coaches, (Mr. Cain, Mr. White,
Mr. Frazier, Mr. Gibbs), the
referee, the wrestling mat, the
wrestling managers, the score-
keeper, Mr. Webb-all were pres
ent. I think, yes, that must be it-
the spectators, they were the
missing element. Including the
visitors from Ragsdale, there
must have been sixty people in
our gym. Most of our cheerlead
ers were present and several par
ents with ‘little brother’. Several
girls were there, the majority of
whom had never seen a wrestling
match, but were anxious to see
just what this sport was really
like. At first they were somewhat
timid, there being no cheerleaders
in swirling skirts or big blue and
white banners saying ‘Beat Rags
dale.’ But, undaunted, and with
the aid of some boys and helpful
parents, they gradually got into
the swing of things and yelled en
couragement to our boys to ‘get
tough’ and ‘hold him down.’
There wasn’t any refreshment
stand, but most everyone seemed
to have come prepared with
everything from chewing gum to
throat lozenges-the boys had or
anges.
The length of time it took the
boys to pin seemed relatively un
important to begin with, but grad
ually everyone discovered that
the clock was working. Then
when Mike Waller pinn^ his op
ponent in a flash, a big round of
applause went up. From then on,
cries like “twenty more seconds
Rip” were heard from the spirit
ed spectators.
Maybe the support helped our
guys. We won.
Hope you make it to the next
match. A few people never hurt
any crowd. And who knows, you
might enjoy it.
