ELM STREET AND QUAKER VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER hirlie \^^ords The 1964-65 sports school year has been an exceptional one. The various Whirlie teams have worn the blue and white colors all over the state. Exciting memories still linger from the topsy-turvy foot ball team. The Whirlies started the season by defeating Ral eigh 10-0 in an upset that was completely unexpected. Then in the last 50 seconds the Blue and White pigskin carriers scored a touchdown to defeat Fayetteville Bulldogs 7-6. This was the first time since 1959 the Bulldogs had been defeated by a team from another conference. The defeat of Page’s Red Pirates 12-7 made the 6-0 loss to Burlington easier to swallow. The cross country team also experienced a fine season this year. Don Bell was one of its outstanding stars. As usual basketball caused a lot of excitement and aroused the best school spirit Whirlie teams have seem in three years Dave Grimes led the student body to respectable spirit and to accepting the name Grimsley. It was a fine tribute to an exceptional leader. The Whirlie basketball team was led by Larry Dempsey, Bob Albright, Skipper Garner, John McNairy, Ben McMakin. In all season play they compiled an 18-4 record and repre sented the Central 4-A Conference as its first place team in the State 4-A championship playoffs. Fayetteville’s Bull dogs defeated the Whirlies in the second round of these playoffs strickly with height as in Rusty Clark. Some high lights of the season were the overwhelming defeat of Bur lington on Grimsley’s home court after a close loss at Bur- ington, the defeat of Pirates twice, and Page’s defeat of Burlington on the last night of regular season. For one shot every Whirlie became a Pirate. School spirit reached an all time high as the Whirlies finished the season third in the State 4-A Tourney. The winter athletic season also held other Blue and White triumphs. The Whirlie swimming team led by Lindley, Pat terson, Dewey, Bernard, and Quinn downed Myers Park for the 4-A Crown. Their major competition was a Whirlie ace of two years ago, Randy Wade. Defeated only three times in regular season play (all by college freshmen teams), the 1964-65 swimming was the best to be found. Then spring fever hit Grimsley and James, Dempsey Lucas ,Wilson, Hooks, Peer, Jacobs, Hartig, Dunn, Grumpier, and Locklar began to feel a certain twitch in their throwing arms. Baseball had arrived and the season moved into full swing. The Whirlies had a new coach, Dave Murr, and six starters returning. The season revolved around close error stricken losses and twin victories. Perhaps the most unbe lievable victory came at the end of the season when the Whirlies faced Winston-Salem Gray in the Central 4-A Play offs. Down 10-1 in the fourth inning, the Whirls staged a three inning rally and scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh to beat Gray 11-10. They finished the regular season in a three way tie for first place in the Central 4-A. High Point ended the season as the Bison won a close 5-4 victory in the conference finals. Golf also brought honors to Grimsley. A combination of Charles Snipes, Buzz Sawyer, David Williams, Mike Schlue- ter, Gary Core, and Joe Inman, brought home a second State 4-A Championship. The track team finished a respectable third in the con ference meet, losing by close margins to Reynolds and Bur lington. In tennis, the Whirlies had one of their bitter net years, as they won 8, while losing 5. Whirlie seasons this year, whether good or bad have aroused a lot of excitement within the student body. Con gratulations to all boys and girls who carried the proud blue and white colors far and nar. Win or lose, the game was always played in the famous “Whirlie Way.” SCHOOL SUPPLIES PAPER BACK BOOKS WILLS BOOK STORE Friendly Shopping Center South Elm Street DATA GUIDES DICTIONARIES Coble Sporting Goods 119 NORTH GREENE Phone BR 2-0912
