Still Dining Out
They're still eating out—those
much feted Williamston State
Class A Football champions. Last
week they held to an every-other
night schedule as Harvey Ross got
them started with a steak dinner,
Hoy Ward followed on Wednesday
night with barbecued chicken and
Friday night the Baptist Church
came through with its banquet for
the laris,
Further clippings on the game
are coming in. Last week Ross
Froneberger came by with a copy
of the column-long story that ap
peared in the Gastonia Gazette
under a banner headline. While it
naturally leaned to the Bessemer!
City side of the picture some of
the paragraphs are worth noting:
"In losing a heurtbreaker, 19-13,
to the much larger Williamston
team, the gallant Bessemer lads
fought right down to the wire,
holding at bay boys who could
make any AAA team in the state.
"Although it was a bitter pill for
Coach Frank King and his young
crew to swallow, nevertheless,
praise came in from all sides on
the brilliant stand the Yellow
Jackets put up against an almost
hopeless situation,”
"Apparently fired up about the
freak play that endangered their
lead. Williamston came right back
to score before the half ended."
"Coach Fiank King was proud
of his boys in defeat. '1 thought
they played their hearts out. and I
am really proud of them.’
"And. of course. Coach Stuart
Maynard of the Williamston
Green Wave was a proud man."
Bondurani Wins
Honor ai U. N. C.
Rush Bondurant. Jr., freshman
;il Carolina, won two trophies for
athletic activities there this fall.
His most important one, won all
In himself, is the championship
in intramural wrestling in the
137 Hr. class In reaching the title
lie won six matches including one
over last year's winner. The other
was won with the help of his team ,
mates on the volleyball team
which took the campus champion
ship.
Rush was a standout in the local
backfield last year, doing his best
job against Almskie. and also did
a lot of shooting for the basket-'
ball team of last season. He also
is a mighty handy little fellow on
the tennis corn ts.
SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS’
WHO KEEP SCRAPBOOKS
— -« —
Hail To Williamston
It isn't often that the subject of
sports reaches our editorial pages
but on the other hand it is a very
rare occasion when this section
can claim a State championship in
any sport. So rare, in fact, that
our memory fails to recall such
sporting glory falling on any of
the high school teams in our neck
of the woods.
Hut times have changed and
now our nearby county of Martin
can rightfully claim the State
Class A championship in football
lor ItlaO. As recorded in our sports
pages, the Williamston Green
Wave, after starting off the season
with three straight defeats, wound
up In winning the State Class A
crown Friday night when they
downed Bessemer City, 19-13, on
the opponent’s Iield.
Williamston earned this right
but right now and here tins
newspaper wishes to offer its con
gratulations to tin1 Williamston
team and its supporters for their
comeback during the regular seas
on and the achievement of the
State championship.
"The glory and praise is due the
town and team but they don’t get
;,h of it because the honor, they
have gained reflects throughout
this entire section. It shows the
rest of the State that we, down
here in the East, have some pretty
lair high school football teams.
In particular it shows the strength
of the Albemarle conference and
in the future State sports writers
and high school teams will un
doubtedly pay a little more at
tention when a conference team is
mentioned.
I’he Green Wave has done an
outstanding job. They deserve
and have our commendations’’ -
The Hertford County Herald of
Ahoskie.
