HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
CRACK CENTURY MARK
Hillside and Merrick-Moore
basketball teams gave the peo
ple what they came to see—a
plenty of points. The Merrick-
Moore Tigers, seldom known
for their high point total, shel
lacked the visiting Henderson
Institute Panthers, 117-27 last
Friday in the Merrick-Moore
Gymnasium. Hillside cracked
the 100 po|n,t category for the
second time this young season
in as many outings by downing
the Stephen-Lee Pears of Ashe
ville, 130-70.
Scoring at the rate of about
four points per minute, Coach
Carl Easterling's cagers may be
on the verge of becoming the
highest scoring team in the
state At the present, the Hor
nets are averaging 134 points
per game giving up exactly 70
points in both outing.
Coach Harry Edmonds' quin
tet is capable of scoring 100
points or more but running
up high scores is not a custom
for the Durham County cagers.
Merrick-Moore manages to win
games but not with the explo
sive offensive.
This corner is in search now
for the highest point total by a
high school team in the state
of North Carolina. At the rate
Hillside is scoring, the press
ing, fast-breaking "pony ex
press" of the Hornets may be
within reach of a state record.

THOMAS LONG OFF

Hillside's basketball product
to Norfolk State, Thomas Long
is off to a good start with Spar
tans. Norfolk State won the
CIAA tournament champion
ship last year and returning
from that team, Coach Ernie
Fears has eight lettermen re
turning including three start
ers. In his pre-season summary,
Fears stated he felt the
strength of the team lie in the
freshmen.
In their seasonal opener, the
Spartans came from behind to
defeat Bethune-Cookman in the
12th Annual Georgia Invita

111105. In this game, the first

be associated with a team like
this."
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
MAKE START TO
FORM CONFERENCE
This pillar has received from
a very reliable source that (hft
Negro junior high schools here
in Durham have taken the first
steps toward emerging with the
white junior high shools to
form an inter-city-county con
ference. With the large num
ber of junior high school bas
ketball teams here in our city
and county school system, Dur
ham should have a conference
of its own.
A suggested eight team cur
cuit would give seven junior
high teams the chance to play
each other on a home bases,
thus accumulating the 14-game
maximum for junior high
teams. This would eliminate
traveling problems and ex
penses.
Take for instance now, Whit
ted and Shepard Junior High
Schools can play only two
games on the junior level in
Durham. The rest of the games
have to be played out of town.
What this corner is suggest
ing is the formation of a city
county integrated league and
let the local schools play one
another. At the end of the sea
son, a visitation trophy can be
awarded and let the eight
teams play a single elimination
tournament and crorwn a tour
nament winner. This would
create interest among the jun
ior higji teams since the teams
do not have anything to look
forward to at the end of the
season.
The first step, that is the
writing to the school superin
tendent, to form such a legaue
has already been undertaken.
Now it is in the hands of the
school officials to say yes or
no to the proposed idea. This
corner would go all out to see
this basketball program here
in our city.

Tim** Sport* Editor
The high scoring machine of
the Hillside Hpmets erupted
for their second straight win
by defeating Stephens-Lee of
Asheville, 130-70 last Friday
night in the Hillside Gymna
sium.
After a 138 point production

ed Hillside in a basketball
game.
Coach Carl Easterling's
"pony express" went ahead 6-5
on a jumper by George Outlaw
and never trailed again in the
non-eonference 4-A scrap. At
the end of the first quarter,
Hillside led 30-12.
A 13 point first quarter by
John Bullock and a 12 point
second stanza by William Har
ris led the Hornets to a 54-30
margin at the intermission.
With the slow first half un
der their belts. Hillside, ex
ploded for 32 points in the
third period and 42 in the last
frame to completely outclass

73-32.
Coach Willie Bradshaw's

ral gallant efforts by the Shep
ard Panthers for a 63-52 win
in the preliminary contest. The
win was the 31st for the Baby
Hornets over a three year pe
riod. Dwight Womble tallied
13 points for Hillside. Paul

to Miami's Orange Bowl was
something of t triumph. In '63
his Bears had lost to the A.
and M. Rattlers, 30-7. At the
gemo's end, Williams was cer
tainly tho Tallahassee Institu

Rattlers on the score board for
its only touchdown—an
first quarter kick-off return.
