Continuous 2:00-11:00 Fourteen basketball teams head down thte Halifax-War ren heme stretch tonight with warrenton and F.nfield the odds-oil favorites to cross the finish line first l;'nfield seems assured of breaking the wire in the girls' division. Presently standing 10-0 in league competition, the Demonottes have easily taken the measure of all opposition this season and have but two games remaining between them and the league crown. Davie will furnish the competition to night and a week from now the Halifax County sextet wilt close regular season play at l.ittleton. Warrenton. 9 1 in the boys' division, have an Enfield quin tet and their best effort of the so son to thank for their perch atop the seven-team league. Enfield knocked off Weldon, previously unbeaten in HAV circles, a "onpie of weeks ago. and Warrenton. looking for re venge for its only loop defeat, took a 72 52 decision from Weldon here on last Friday night The Jackets were red hot in that one, hitting on 64 per cent of their shots from the floor in the first half to knock the props from under the vis iting Tornadoes. Forward Clinton Neal, who popped in 16 points to lead the devastating Yellow Jacket point machine, was one of the four starters in the double figures. Guard Gordon Haithcock buck eted 13 points and Billy Ben son and Choeky White added 11 each as the Jackets had Weldon on the ropes by a 43 20 count at intermission. The second half was just as miserable for Coach Don John son's charges as A1 Blalock and Billy Mitchiner came off the bench to keep the Jackets slitting. William Hudson led Weldon with 17 markers. In the opener Tempe Sei dell took a last-second shot which hit the rim, bounced high into the air and dropped through the basket as the horn was sounding to give the I.ady Tornadoes a 28-26 verdict over the Warrenton sextet. Coach Janice Allen's lassies exhibited a better brand of ball than they did in the first meeting of the two clubs and almost sent the visitors home with a dual loss. Knox Polk, who finished with 11 points, led a Warren ton effort that built up a five-point first half lead that was gradually chipped away in the last two frames. Glo Elias led the Weldon attack with 17 points. The Jackets, who can not af ford to stumble in either their home game with Littleton to night or their encounter with Davie on next Friday night, have a neck-and-neck race go ing on among four starters for point honors. Clinton Neal, the team's leading scorer with 140 points for the year is being pushed hard by Herman Rooker (139), Billy Benson (138) and Chocky White (135). Gordon Haith cock, the fifth starter, has con tributed 80 points en route to the Jackets' oVer-all 12-3 re cord. Knox Polk, who has three more regular-season games, including a game at Townsville on Tuesday night, in which to reach the 20-point mark for the season, is presently dropp ing points in at a 19 9 rate. Starters Brenda Davis and Sandra Jones are adding more scoring punch to the Jacket attack, with Davis averaging 7.9 and Jones 6.1. Norlina, which was rudely upended by Davie last Friday night and knocked out of third place in the boys' division, hosts Weldon tonight in a game that could develop into the top game in conference ac tion. The Blue Waves were down ed by an improved Davie quin tett, 63-50, in spite of Billy Fuller's 25-point effort. Davie led by ten at halftime. 31-21, with Buck Dickens and Billy Waters leading the way with 21 and 18 points, respectively, dropped the curtain on Nor lina's bid for third place. In the opening game Nor lina's Gayle Williams, with 20 points, and Betsy Ellington with 16 .blazed the way to a 43-32 win over the Davie sex tet, kept in contention tor the first few minutes by Dorothy Balmer and Cathy Ives, who each had II points for the night. Littleton also sees action to night and Coach Tommy Sat terfield's crew is anxious to try out Halifax-Warren compe tition once again after getting a morale-booster from a 63-33 decision over Aurelian Springs on last Friday night. It was their sec id win of the season and the Jays took advantage of it to put three players in the double "gures, headed by Whit Neville, who topped both teams with 22 points. Phil Quails led Aurel ian Springs with 14. In the girls' contest Vivian Gibson hit for 21 and Betty Freuler netted 20 as the Hor nettets downed the Lady Jays, 42-35. Betsy Clark led Little ton with 16 points. ? Following tonight's contest at Warrenton, the Littleton clubs end the regular season on their home court next Fri day night against Enfield.
