Williamston and Charles Carver
dropped one In for a 14-2 lead. A
field goal as the quarter ended
enabled Liverman to pull his
team’s count to 4. That was the
way it went for the rest of the
game when the starting five was
on 'hr court for WP Rams, ton, but
Coach Stuart Maynard gave bis
subs a workout in the second
quarter and the final stanza, thus
givin the visitors a chance to do
a little scoring.
Davis was the high scorer of
the boys’ game with 14 points In
second place was Rush Bondurant
whose push shots from the fore
court helped him tally 9 points.
In third place were Carver and
Jerry Forehand with 8 each. Har
rell Everett who needs only to get
rid of stage fright to break into
the starting line-up, got five
points with a foul shot and two
field goals He did not miss a
shot. Asa Manning and Shelton
Bailey scored four points each,
Bobby Clayton and Watson Mc
Keel got two each. Going into
the game in the closing quarter,
Russell Corey, James Coltrain,
Jimmie Page and Reg Coltrain
got in a little competitive prac
tice. After getting two quick
fouls called on him before he had
gotten his bearings, Jimmie Page
played the rest of the way in
good style, bringing up the ball
from the back court surprisingly
well for a small, ^ inexperienced
fellow.
Jimmy Alexander was the scor
ing leader for Columbia with 10
points, Liverman got 9, Everton
and Ernest Sutton 3 each ^nd
Kermit Walker 2.
Examinations at both schools
this week caused a postponement
of the return game with Scotland
Neck there which had been set for
Wednesday night. However, the
Green Wave teams take on Eden
ton in the Williamston gym Fri
day night of this week at 7:30.
The visitors made but 6 points
off the Green Wave first string
and could only break even in play
against the second and third fives.
The score at the end of the first
quarter was 14-4, at the half it
was 29-15, three fourths {he way
it stood at 50-17, and the final, as
a result of a flurry of scoring at
i the close by the Wildcats, was 56
* to 27.
The Williamston girls, making
| their Work hard for themselves,
had a perfect record on one thing
for the night, they failed to make
a single foul shot good in the
-fourteen times they had chances.
The g.r’s game some ol the
closest guarding ever noted in the
local gym and the fouls were few
and far between. Williamston
was charged with only five, Col- ;
umbia only 11. The Williamston
fouls cost them one point, the vis
itors' fouls cost them nothing in
points but lost them the services i
of a top-flight guard toward the
close of the game.
Nancy Robertson on offense
and Jean Bailey on defense were
the workhorses for the Green
Wave girls. Nancy scored 16
points and handled the ball well,
and Jean Bailey deserves a large
portion of the credit for the vic
tory with her great work in the
closing minutes of play. Alice
Peaks Scored 10 points for Wil
liamston and Edna Coltrain got
the remaining 6. The best shoot
ing eye in the girls’ game belong
ed to Jane Cahoon who racked up
10 field goals for a 20 point total
although she missed on her lone
free shot try. Everton got 7 and
Vanhorne 2 for the visitors. The
best defensive player for Colum
bia by all odds was Hopkins who
was much faster than her size
might indicate she could be.
The Columbia girls opened the
scoring when Vanhorne got her
one and only basket of the game.
Coltrain matched that for Wil
liamston but Everton and Cahoon
took the lead back with two field
goals. Robertson hit from the!
floor and Peaks made two field !
goals and Nancy came back with
another as it looked like the girls
in Green were getting started. A
free shot was missed by both sides
then Robertson and Cahoon swap
ped field goals and Gaboon and
Coltrain did the same to put the
score at 14-10 in favor of the local j
girls at the quarter whistle. Rob
ertson made a field goal to open
the second quarter but baskets by
Everton and Cahoon cut the mar
gin again and after a field goal by
Peaks, Cahoon tied the count at
Jartitsville Wilis
Two at Colerain

Although the girls came sail
ing through without too much dif
ficulty. thanks to the sharp-shoot
ing at Barbara Co!train. • the- boys
of Jar.iesville High Schorl ran in
to their closest match of the sea
son when the teams met Colerain
High a4 Colerain last Thursday
night The girls won 58 to 35*but
the boys had to go from a 40-40
tie at regular game time to a 47 to
43 overtime victory.
The boys team was greatly han
dicapped by |he absence front ac
tion of their veteran forward,
Randy Waters. He suffered a
back injury in the game against
Hear Grass and will not likely be
able to play much before the last
of this week. A freshman, Bobby
18-all with two field goals as the
half ended.
Williamston took the lead again
in the third quarter on a basket
by Robertson but Cahoon netted
two shots from the floor to grab
the lead for the visitors. Robert
son tied it up with a field goal and
after Everton made free shot
Nancy put the Green ahead with
another field goal. Everton and
Cahoon grabbed the lead at 27-24
with field goals toward the close
of the third quarter. A field goal
hy Robertson cut the lead to one
point just before Cahoon scored
her team's last tally of the game.
As the Green Wave defense stif
fened and the visitors’ top guard
fouled out. the local girls went
ahead to stay on field goals bv
Peaks and Coltrain. Peaks add
ed another to end the scoring and
then Robertson, Peaks and Col-j
train missed on successive free
shots as the final buzzer sounded.
Neither girls’ team could get
sufficient margin to give the subs
a chance to play although Rachel
Chesson got in some good work as I
substitute guard and Ruby Sav
age got in some work at center
for the Green Wave. Playing a
steady game at guard were Verle
Leggett and Priscilla Robertson
although they were not quite able
to keep pace with Bailey.

In pacing her team to victory,
Colt rain scored perhaps the high
est total she has scored in a game
since she played with Williamston
in 47- 48. She got 28 points in
shots from all angles from the
floor and made good on five out
of 7 free throws. Brownie Hol
liday was second for the winners
with 13 points, Shirley Gaines got
5, Margaret Perry 3, Lib Brewer
2 and Faye Rogeis and Pat Garvin
1 each. June Gardner, Margaret
Davis and Marv Bonner Gardner
were defen:.ive leaders for James- j
ville although some good work at
guard was turned in by Jackie
Bowen and Margaret Hinson as
substitutes. Coach McCaffity put
all the girls in the game who were
with the team on the trip. Hose
Askew led Colerain's point mak
ers with 20. Hughes and Edna
Perry were defensive leaders.
Waters injured a muscle in his
back in making one of his favor
ite jump shots against Bear Grass
last week. Whether he will see
any action against Pantego tomor
row night at Pantego depends on
the doctor's report arid the same
applies to the contest against Bel
haven on Friday night.
