measure of Southwood

Jesse Preddy tossed in 35
points and E. J. Wilder tallied
20. Wingate'i Jerry TTiomas
scored 32 points in a losing
effort.
' Brevard held off a furious
finish by Wingate to win the
consolation game Saturday
night by a 106-99 score. Joe
Kagel of Brevard scored a
single game high for the tour
nament when he tossed in 42
points. He had 22 m tlie first
half and 20 iiv the second
half. Thomas again led Win
gate with 31 points giving
him a total of 63 points
which was high for the tour
nament. Hie Wingate sopho
.? more has scored 200 points in
six games this year.
In the championship game
Sbuth wood led briefly at the
beginning by scores of 4-2.
6-4, and 7-6. Louisburg tied it
7 all on a foul shot at the
16:15 mark, went ahead 9-7
on a George Bowden field
goal, and never trailed again.
The 'Canes' lead went as high
as 15 points in the half before
the Rams scored 10 points to
Louisburg's 2 in the last two
minutes. 57 seconds to cut
the half time lead to 48-41.
The 'Canes increased their
lead quickly in the second
half and at the 15:20 mark
they led 59-47. The Rami
worked hard to close the gap
but Bowden and Larry Pas
chall hit repeatedly on driving
lay-ups and the 'Canes led
73-55 at the ten minute
mark.
The Hurricanes were tough
defensively allowing the
Rams very few uncontested
shots in route to their sixth
victory against one defeat.
The board play was dominat
ed by~ -the AalWc i^uisburg
team except for a period of
seven minutes at the end of
the game. Terry Davis grab
bed 11 rebounds and received
able support from Rick Rich
ardson and Mark Wilson with
seven each. Jesse Preddy was
the leading rebounder for
Southwood grabbing 9 re
bounds.
Louisburg displayed good
scoring balance for the se
cond night in succession with
five starters storing in double
figures. Paschall led the scor
ing with 27 points and Bow
den followed with 20. Wilson
had 15, Davis 14, and Rich
ardson 10.
Teddy Tucker led South
wood with 18 and Preddy
was close behind with 16.
David Dutton tallied 13 and
Brooks Bradshaw had 11 but
their efforts fell short as the
Rams dropped their third
game in seven starts.
I Our own experience is that
l time, when allowed to work.
, will solve many problems.
Hys is the time of year
when all thote who are alive
should get out into the great
outdoors.

Everybody Gets Into The Act Tonight In FAC
Five football schools join
the basketball ware tonight in
the Franklin Area Conference
as ten of the eleven members
take to ttt* hardwoods. Bunn
will be idle after having play
ed seven games thus far this
season.
As Louisburg, Franklin
ton, Oxford Orphanage. Apex
and Wakelon join in the title
races, the standings find the
Bunn and Youngsville girls
with 3-0 conference records
These two teams sitting on
top early in the season has
been a habit of long standing.
This is expected to stay as is
until the two meet on Jan
uary 6th at Bunn.
Not surprising, the
Youngsville Phantoms are 4-0
at this stage of the game and
Bunn is 2-0 with Cardinal
Gibbons holding a 2-1 record.
The Gibbons loss came at the
hands of the Phantoms and
this might be indicative of
who's going to finish on top
again this year.
The five football schools
may add some spice to the
races but from here it looks
very much like another
Youngsville year.
The roundup of teams re
porting rosters and suc|i thus
