ton.
Garinger student Damn Stinson, who is a 6'4" forward, and J. R.
McDwaine, who is a 6' guard, have signed to play basketball at North
Greenville Junior College.
Congratulations to Country Day. The Bucs won three games in
cluding 8-4 over Providence Day to win the CISAA Softball Champi
onship.
Beating regular season winner Charlotte Latin, 5-3, advanced them
to the finals.
In the first of the games to decide the championship Ashely O'Neil
went three for four with four RBI's to lead Country Day to an 11-3
win.
The Broadmoor Tigers won the 10 and under regular season in the
Broadmoor League and came in second at a postseason invitational
tournament sponsored by McCrorey YMCA. Rodney Reid was the
team's outstanding offensive player and Vernon Holsey was the out
standing defensive player. Robert Newman was the coach.
Newman said that the team really surprised him adding that he
really stressed defense because when you have defense you automat
ically have offense and that he was happy that they were good on
both fronts.
Others on the team were Jay Phifer, Lamont Easterling, Danny
Garda, Derrick Sowell, Cory Holsey, Garrett Oakden, Cliff Hayden
and Dormeco Newman.
Bobby Mcllwain also helped coach the champions of the 12 team
Broadmoor League.
The North Carolina High School Athletic Assodation has dedded
to discuss moving the state championship football gams to a neutral
site and it is a good idea.
Th* facilities at Seventy First High School were not good at all. As
a matter of fact, attendance for the West Charlotte-Harding game
was more than attendance for the state championship game. That
semi-final at Memorial Stadium drew almost 20,000. There were oolv
10,000 at the state championship game. ■ y
Peking was atrorious. It took two hours to get out of the gnm«
utilizing policemen on a highway that was not designed for •
transit
The state's 4A Conference voted to support it,
Mecklenburg county schools started the push for neutral sites after
the facility at Lloyd Auman Field at Seventy First High School were
criticized as inadequate.
Thirteen of the 14 members of the Tri County and Southwestern
4A Conference as well as a majority of the Mid-South 4A supported
y the change,
TWgama has also gotten so big nthat t* only stadiums th*?
could hoet it are Groves at Wake Forest, Kenan at Chapel Hill, Wah '
lace Wade at Duke, Aggie Field at North Carolina AAT, Charlotte Me
morial Stadium, or Carter-Finley at North Carolina Stats.
Being that a 20,000 figure would be high for a state playoff cham
pionship game, I think it would be better to hold it in a central facility
StteMOTMnTst^im^ NOrtH Carolina AAT’*15.000 field or Char
The game would be dwarfed in North Carolina's unknown Wake's
Grove, Duke's Wallace Wade or Bute's Carter-Finley.
But any of the sites mentioned would be an improvement It is Hm«
to take it off the high school campuses where it can make some mon
ey for the state's schools.
In other news, the 4A schools voted to reduce the h—h»tba11 field
back top 32.1 think the 64 is a good idea because more teams set to
play and I hope that is defeated. L
