basketball teams split games

by 48 to 41 and the John

Price shifted his defense and
the visitors held John Graham
to 5 points in the second period
while scoring 12 points to
come within one point of tieing
the locals at the end of
iffij the half. Third quarter play
was a repetition of the second
i and Norlina racked in 15
points while holding John
Graham to 6. The final quarter
was a scoring duel as the
locals began to click and netted
14 points to Norlina's 13,
but the rally came too late to
stave off two bad quarters.
John Graham's defeat could
be attributed to stellar work
on the part of the Norlina
guards, who used a pressing

the first quarter. Play of the

Clinton Neal with 19 points,
plus some good ball handling
and rebounding led John
Graham to its victory over
Norlina in the nightcap in a
: game marked by its intensity
of play in which four Norlina
and two Warrenton players
j fouled out.
I Good work under the back- i
boards, plus several costly misj
takes in ball handling by Norlina
was responsible for the
I margin of victory. In spite of
| the difference in score, the
, game was tense throughout
and so were the spectators.

for the loop lead.
Weldon made a clean sweep
of the night, winning the girls' I
game with ease 52-31, playing j
subs throughout most of the j
second half.
Davie was clobbered at Wei-j
don earlier in the year 71-391
but last night displayed vast j
I improvement as they passed j
! over and around the Weldon
press forcing the Tornadoes to j
throw three men in a down
court press in an effort to rat-1
tie the Blue Devil's offense. |
If the finger of fate had to
reach out and touch an event
which marked the turning of
the tide it would be the moment
Davie lost Lonnie Harris.
Harris fouled out with
four minutes remaining, but
after riding the bench with
four fouls through much of
the third period he came in
and sparked a Davie rallv
i which carried them to within
four points of the Tornadoes.
In the dying moments both
teams lost many players by
the foul route. With one minute
left Davie pulled back to
within four points of Weldon
again but fell back once more
on free throws by Jimmy
Etheridge.
