ply each time Coach Dick Stott
yelled his name. Doug belongs
to the Spanish Club and Mono

the Safety Patrol. Hobbies in
clude hunting and fishing and
all sports.

mixup for the squad this year.
Kenneth Vance Holden Is the
Innocent victim of the poten
tially dangerous nickname,
"Referee," or "Ref" for short.
As reported In this column
earlier this season, a game re
feree almost pulled his red
bandana in one name when a
teammate yelled at "Ref."
Kencth, has turned in a Rood,
consistent performance this
year while standing on his
head . . . playing center. He is
a four-year letterman. the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Cob urn Hold
en, of Depot Street. Other
school activities include the
Monogram Club. He Is undecid
ed about future plans after
graduation.
A worlchorse in the Panther
defensive wall thus year has
been Mac "McBryant" Bryant.
Opposing teams have quickly
discovered that plans routed
through the middle of the line
were near futile with "McBry
ant" in as defensive center.
Mac is 17. the son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. L. B'-yant. and a four
year letterman. Mac also be
longs to the Library Club, the
Math Club, the Chess Club,

college next fall.
Managing the Panthers this
year were seniors Hoyt Potts,
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Potts, and Charles Slagle. son
of Mr. and Mrs. George SlaRle.
These two young men, like
most managers, are due a good
ly amount of credit and recog
nition for keeping the Panther
locker room shipshape and the
players equipped and bandag
ed. Charles Slagle also has been
handling the reporting of all
home games for the sports page
of the ASHEVILLE CITIZEN. I
And, to close out this final
football column for 1960 with
out a hearty and sincere note
of appreciation and congratu

would leave the most important
story of the year untold. These |
two men have done themselves
and the school proud by ttvelr
work this year, producing not [
only a successful team, but by i
heading up a squad which has '
done Macon County honor by j
their strict obedience to the i
code of good sportsmanship. 1
These two men know the full j
scope of coaching and Frank- t
tin is lucky to have men of
their calibre working with a
croup of the leaders of tamor- i
row. Here's hoping for many ;
