, SEASON'S TOP HOOPERS AT WAKELON
*
Judy Green
Juay Green, Ann Hopkins and
Jackie Mitchell ended the past
basketball season with a total of
638 points.
These three high scorers for
Wakelon girls’ basketball team
were instrumental in copping the
county championship from Knight
dale by a score of 37-34.
Miss Green, the high scorer of
the three, had 446 points; and Miss
Hopkins and Miss Mitchell each
had 96 points.
All three of the young ladies
are forwards.
Two of the outstanding playeTs,
Miss Hopkins and Miss Mitchell,
agreed that the most < exciting
game of the season for them was
the game with Apex. Miss Green
differed, saying' the most thrilling
game for her was the one with
Knightdale when Wakelon had a
10-point lead.
The three said the turning point
for their team was the game with
Apex. They said they knew then
if they got to the finals or won
the county championship they
“would have to fight.”
They got discouraged, but Coach
Robert Moore quickly got them
out of their doldrums. The girls
said “he is a great good naturedly
fusser,” which kept them pushing
forward.
They had nothing but praise for
Coach Moore, feeling “he is the
greatest coach they have ever
played under.”
The coach, they agreed, was
strict with them and demanding
that the team give their all to
the game. . This, they said, was
just what they needed to have
a winning team.
“Coach Moore takes just as
much interest and time with the
substitute players as the starring
players,” the girls chimed in.
They said the coach taught more
team basketball than individual
basketball. He also dwelt a great
deal on determination and sports
manship.
All through the season, the
Wakelon girls exhibited a to
getherness in their practice and
actual playing. They said that
if they had not had this together
ness if would have been impossible
for them to have had the team
they had.
Miss Green, 5-2, Miss Hopkins,
5-10%, and Miss Mitchell, 5-5,
have always been athletes. But
they have been more interested in
the field of basketball than any
other sport.
Miss Green and Miss Hopkins,
who will graduate this year, hope
to play college basketball, “if
their schedules and time will per
mit.” Miss Mitchell, who has

Ann Hopkins
another year at Wakelon, is look
ing forward with excitement to
the coming basketball season.
Miss Green plans to enroll at
East Carolina College in Green
ville and take a degree in business
administration, but not with the
intention of teaching. Miss Hop^
kins plans to enter the University
of North Carolina School of Nurs
ing and following her degree she
plans to practice some phase of
nursing, cither teaching or private
duty.
Did the booing of the crowds
bother these players? Not too
much. It didn’t unnerve them
greatly. But they believe that
the audiences could have been
more well behaved.
They spoke highly of their team
mates, feeling that their coopera
tion, good sportsmanship and spirit
of togetherness helped them be
come the top hoopers.
“They were just wonderful,”
the three chorused.
And as for the trophy the team
won tor the county championship,
the three just love to stand and
admire it. And yet, they can’t
believe it is really theirs.
But it is and it stands handsome
ly displayed in its glass enclosure,
a product of these three girl’s and
the whole girl’s team determina
tion, sportmanship, enthusiasm
and love of the game of basketball.

Kids, Read and Fly
Your Kites Safely
Kites have made their annual
appearance in the Carolina skies,
wafted on the winds of March.
But with the aerial fleet comes a
danger that could change an en
joyable sport into tragedy.
F. T. Scarborough, local manager
of Carolina Power & Light Com
pany, today outlined several safe
ty steps that should be followed
when flying kites. “Each year we
hear reports of youngsters being
killed while flying kites that be
come tangled in electric power
lines. We want to avoid such
tragedies in our neighborhood,” he
said.
These are safety precautions
that should be taken when flying
kites:
(1) Fly kites in open places
away from power lines. An open
field or pasture is best.
(2) Always use dry cotton
string for your kite. Never use
string or kites containing metal,
