I Aces Suffer Two Setbacks During Holiday Tourney Winning Ways Term inated By Gates and Knapp High Schools Over Holidays By KEN D. HOPKINS The John A. Holmes High Aces suffered their first defeat of the season to the Knapp Knights in the third annual Knapp Holiday Festival Classic by a slim margin of 52-49. The Aces saw their winning streak snapped at five straight. Leading 21-17 at intermission, the Aces’ poteht offense sput tered along with some silly mis takes in the final half. Knapp, like a good team will, took ad vantage of this and went on to win a real thriller. The Aces’ biggest weakness | was at the foul line, where they [ beat themselves. They shot a j very ridiculous 20.8 percent, making 5 out of 24 attempts. The Aces’ big gun of the night i was 6-7 Jay Ross. Ross pump- j ed in 27 points, high for the ■ night, shot a remarkable 52'J and cleared the boards for 19 re bounds. He Jed the Aces in all these departments. Incidentally, Ross’ 27 points was high for the entire classic. Bill Ervin was runner-up to Ross in scoring and rebounding He collected to points and hauL ed in 13 rebounds. Knapp was led bv sixth man; Sandy Sanderson who scored 19* points. Lucien Griffin, probable | best performer in the classic, had j 11 as did Dave Gregory. Clark | Hampton, 5-3, best small man j around, tallied 8 to his credit. The Ares were defeated for the second straight time in the tour lament, losing to consolidated laics County by a score of 53- 1 15. It was the Aces' second de feat after racking up live con :eCutive victories. The Aces beat themselves again. They scared only four >oints in the first quarter and it took them over three minutes to get a shot away. They were throwing bad passes, walking with the ball, and in-the lane too long. After that hectic first quarter they settled down a little but trailed at half time. Again the Aces were poor at the foul line. Tossing in 7 out] of 21 tries for a 33.3”;, Here is one of the biggest reasons, for the second straight night they whipped themselves. In this Knapp Classic they have made a total of 12 out of 45 attempts for a dismal 26.6'J. Melvin Barnette, Jav Ross and Bill Bootwright bucketed 10 apiece to pace the loser’ attack. Dickey Cobb had 8 to his credit. Ross grabbed 13 rebounds and shot a 66.3 from the floor. He led the Aces in all these depart ments for the entire event. Bill Ervin was runner-up to Ross in rebounding, battling for 11. Big 6-7 Elmer Hobbs stuffed j the nets for 26 points, collecting 14 in the third frame to lead the ! way for his team. Carl Taylor was runner-up with 10 and Richard Huffier bad 6. The Aces will be trying to get hack in the win column when they again face the strong Gates County school at home January 4 in a conference battle.
