With the boys’ team just about ■
| set as to the starters, it appeared I
I today that a starting six for the j
I Williarr.ston High School girls'!
I basketball team was nearly ready. !
While neither the coach. Miss Jean 1
DeWitt or assistant Grace Cuili
. pher, have announced a starting
; team t-.x Tuesday rveni.(i*'> r e,
1 counterjvjjJ^KIiz.abetb City in the:
i Williaiuston gym, the following ‘
| girls are expected to got the call
| on the basis of practice sessions
j through last week: Dannette
Baiicv, Dolly Wynne and Sarah
iEverett at forward and Priscilla
Roberson, Jean Mobley and Wan
da Jones at guard. Jean Mobley
likely will see some action at a
forward spot as well as at guard ,
with Anne Peele likely replacing J
her at guard.
Dolly Wynne should help to
make up the loss of height on the
forward section when Edna C'ol
train graduated last year. Bailey
played at forward regularly last
year and should be improved this
year. It's going to take some ac
tion, probably several games to
determine who keeps what posi
tion and how the team will shape
up. There are plenty of candi
dates for all spots and the two
coaches will be able to maneuvei
their talent around for a while.
Twenty boys remain out for the
Green Wave five of ( .ach Car
roll Blackeiby but unless recent
practices change the picture the
starting live against the Elizabeth
City Yellow Jackets will remain
about as listed last week with the
certainty that substitutions will
be made frequently
John Rogers and Harrell Evei
eft likely will start at guard. Jack
Ross at renter, Watson McKee]
and James Coltrain at forward.
